Hope

hope is one of five protagonists of metaware highschool (demo)

she has messy purple hair with a red clip on it

hope's design is one of the few standouts as she not only lacks a ribbon but does not button up her blazer and reveals a red zip up hoodie with a pink cat logo instead of the typical white button up

her skirt however is still of uniform and indicates she is a 3rd year with it's purple and magenta pattern a trait she shares with nari.

Personality
Hope acts and is described as derpy by Isadora and she is also seen as extremely carefree, telling you to live the way you want to live. Hope commonly references memes and pop culture, and uses internet slang like "lmao" in everyday speech.

Hope speaks in only lower-case and does not use punctuation, unlike the rest of the cast. Hope enjoys mochi greatly, even to the point where she'll ditch her friends just to eat some mochi at Starbucks The Mochi Store, ran by Bill, after school ends.

Hope is extremely close friends with Nari and says that Nari's somewhat recent personality shift worries her. Hope is heavily implied to have some romantic tension with Nari, even cohering her to do something implied to be lewd with the gummy bears she keeps on hand, though exactly what this is is never explained.
