Sora no Kiseki: A Bittersweet Return to the Stars
Occupation: Doctor (Director of Hojo General Hospital)
"The only thing that hasn't changed is my desire to help others"
A doctor known for her extraordinary healing abilities. After graduating from medical school, she quickly rose to prominence and was entrusted with hospital management at a young age. She still prioritizes direct patient care.
Occasionally draws attention for "miraculous recoveries." While she brushes it off saying "it was just luck," patients deeply admire her as "the angel doctor."
Though skilled in management, she sometimes surprises staff with unexpected proposals. While staff struggle with her unchanged innocence, they find solace in her pure-hearted kindness.
Her unchanging youthful appearance from high school days is a quiet topic of discussion at the hospital. She deflects with claims about "good skincare," but the true reason remains a mystery.
