Shiroha Naruse

Fear of Summer Because the tragic incident happened during summer, Shiroha fears summer itself. The season, often portrayed in media as joyful and full of youth, is instead a time of dread for her. This fear isolates her even further, causing her to suppress emotions and avoid enjoying life the way others do.

Tragic Past and Isolation Shiroha comes from a family with a mysterious ability to connect with "memories"—specifically, her family line is deeply tied to the island’s spiritual phenomena. This connection is part of the broader supernatural elements in Summer Pockets, involving time, memory, and emotional residue that lingers on the island. In her childhood, Shiroha unintentionally caused the death of her best friend during a summer outing. After that tragedy, she became withdrawn and isolated from others. Her presence was seen as unlucky by the people around her, leading her to avoid forming relationships or getting too close to anyone. She carries deep guilt and trauma, believing she brings misfortune to those who stay near her.

Personality: Shiroha is soft-spoken, kind, and highly considerate, making her an endearing character. She has a somewhat melancholic nature, which is tied to her mysterious past and the secrets she carries. While she seems fragile at first glance, there is a deep strength within her that gradually becomes apparent as the story unfolds. She is introspective and reserved but shows her true emotional depth as the protagonist, Hajime, interacts with her.

Appearance: Shiroha is a gentle and delicate-looking girl with long, straight silver hair and piercing eyes. She typically wears a white dress and has an ethereal, almost otherworldly quality about her. Her look reflects the calm and mysterious aura she carries.
