Maika Sakuranomiya

"I was worried that I could not accept the interview due to bad eyes."

Maika Sakuranomiya is a 16-year-old girl who despite having a positive and cheerful personality, unintentionally gains a sadistic look in her eyes whenever she smiles. This look catches the attention of Dino who scouts her to be the sadistic girl waitress at Cafe Stile. Despite being told that the customers like being treated badly, her worry about how she is treating customers gets the better of her, causing her to snap into an apologetic personality as soon as they have left. She comes from a very traditional family and works part-time so she could study abroad using her own money. Her love of other countries also makes her develop an admiration towards the "old man from the chicken place" and Santa Claus. She adores Dino because of his blond hair and foreign roots but is oblivious about his crush on her. There are hints of a growing relationship between them.

Appearance
Maika has a fairly slim figure, with pale skin, purple eyes, and purple-black hair, usually tied in low twintails. She is one of the shortest workers at Cafe Stile, next to Hideri and Mafuyu.

For work, Maika wears a light pink button-up blouse of black buttons with short puffed sleeves with a white band with a dark blue stripe on the edge and a white collar with a dark blue stripe on the edge. She also wore a white half-apron with frilled edges, white knee-high socks with a dark blue stripe on the top socks, and dark blue toecap flats with white gloves with a dark blue stripe on the edge.

When she isn't in her work uniform she is in her school uniform, which consists of a light pink blouse with dark blue sleeve-cuffs that have a white stripe on the edge and a blue sailor collar with a white stripe on the edge, which has a yellow sailor tie secured with a dark blue band. She also wears a light pink skirt with with a dark purple stripe on the edge, black shin-length socks, and brown toecap flats.

Personality
Maika is a sweet and caring girl, who can at sometimes be oblivious to things, such as Dino's crush on her. She is sometimes described as a moe because she has a very innocent mind. Although she plays a sadistic character, she feels as though she is being rude to the customers, so she will continuously apologize once they have left.
