Sakuragi, Matsuri

桜木茉莉

Matsuri, who goes by the nickname "Mats" in the manga, is an eleven-year-old girl wearing glasses and owns a pet ferret named John. The story portrays her as having a very timid personality. She is frequently teased by Miu, which sometimes causes her to cry and hide behind Nobue. Matsuri is one grade younger than Chika and Miu, but she is in the same class as Ana, with whom she quickly became friends. Matsuri discovers that Ana speaks Japanese fluently and helps her conceal both her Japanese proficiency from the rest of the class and her lack of English skills. While her hair is gray in the anime, it is white in the manga.
