Character Profile: Alice Sakaguchi

Originally from Hokkaido, the Sakaguchi family moved to Tokyo recently, leaving Alice rather homesick. She also has some problems fitting in with her classmates, which only intensifies her longing for her old home. Alice is a very shy and quiet person, such that she even finds it difficult to stand up to bullying from a seven year old like Rin.

Nearly all her life, Alice has been able to communicate with plants. She can tell what plants are "thinking," so to speak, and in turn can make her own desires known to them. Although she has never told her parents about this ability, her younger brother, Hajime, knows of it.
