BackgroundEdit
Ten years ago, at the age of eight, Hanako's house inexplicably caught in flames at night (hinted to have occurred on the night of her birthday), not only burning the house down but taking the lives of Hanako's parents as well. Miraculously Hanako survived due to her mother shielding her from the flames. Afterwards Hanako lived an orphanage where she didn't make friends nor did she want to (due to bullying and namecalling by children including who had been friendly with her before she was scarred by the fire). Instead, she secluded herself in the orphanage's library until she was offered the opportunity to attend Yamaku Academy, an offer she accepted.
