Mimi Kurumi

"A-Ah! I'm Mimi, Mimi Kurumi. Um, uh... Ah... I-I'll do my best... Even if I'm not very talented, if you were to not leave me behind... I'd be... very happy."

-Introduction

Mimi Kurumi is a student at PriPara Idol Academy, an aspiring Natural/Lovely idol, and a florist outside of the school. She tends to be clumsy and easily flustered, but opens up easily. Her favorite brand is Floral Kiss, but tends to use whatever she thinks looks cute.

She is Merurun's second character.

Appearance
Mimi has short pink hair, falling just underneath her jaw, along with a small heart-shaped antenna on the top of her head. Her eyes are soft and cherry pink, and she has tanned skin. She's generally small everywhere, but not small enough for people to mistake her as more than a year younger than she really is.

Outside of PriPara, her hair is a few shades darker, and her eyes are a bit redder. Other than that, she barely changes outside of her clothing style. A trademark of hers is wearing a flower every day; unless she's wearing a headband, she probably has some sort of flower behind her ear or braided into  a lock of hair.

Personality
As explained before, Mimi's an easily flustered and shy person at first. It's not hard to get her to open up, but you have to be pretty straightforward with her for her to understand you, most of the time. Additionally, the first few minutes of talking to her is difficult, because she gets startled every time she meets a new person.

Afterwards, she's very open and cheerful, always trying her best to get people to be happy-happy! While it doesn't always work, she's always genuine in her attempts. When at full power, it's said that her energy is infectious, especially on stage. No matter what happens, Mimi's always trying to cheer people up! However, she dislikes being alone, so she always tries her best to stay close to people she likes.

Outside of PriPara, she's a very relaxed sort of girl who goes at her own tempo. She enjoys reading, watching anime, and sweet things, while listening to loud J-Pop and playing rhythm games. This gap between the cheery idol Mimi and the relaxed student Mimi tends to surprise people.

Biography
While she's not a fan of revealing her personal life, Mimi has a pretty plain story. Her family life is rather plain, other than her father living in another country.

She first got her PriTicket when she was ten, but due to her shyness, she hid it away for four years, before rediscovering it when she was older. Deciding to go visit PriPara due to her newfound interest in idols, she decided to enter and was amazed at the technology and the cute things there.

Eventually, she decided that being an idol couldn't be that bad if she could wear cute clothes for free and sing her heart out, and decided to continue on with her idol life! She's still a bit shy and self-conscious, making it difficult for her to be confident in her talents.

Relationships
Kaede Miyake: Mimi admires her quite a bit, and is very jealous of her height and body. However, she enjoys when Kaede hugs her, and often soughts out her 'neechan' for hugs and affection.
