Naru is a 14-year-old girl in her second year of middle school and has been best friends with Yaya since elementary school. She loves fairy tales and greatly idolizes the heroines in the stories. She sees herself as a girl who is average in every way possible, but desperately wishes to change herself to be more like the girls from the fairy tales she reads. She is timid by nature and is slightly jealous of some of her peers, including Yaya, Hana, and Tami, as she thinks of them to be more interesting than she is.

Normal appearance, normal intelligence, normal in arts and sports... just normal. This is the entirely normal 14-year-old, Naru Sekiya. While she admires "Heroines" she continues to live a normal life until one moonlit night she meets a fairy. This foreign girl then guides her into the extraordinary world of the yosakoi dance.<br></br>
