Botan is usually considerate and level-headed, the kind of person who notices what others need.
At the same time, she has a fluffy, natural air that gives her a very gentle presence.
Her personality changes when she drinks.
Alcohol brings out a more glamorous and bold side of her, making her behavior much more daring than usual.
Because she is 20 years old, Botan is legally able to drink.
Even so, she had never consumed alcohol before entering university.
Her first experience with alcohol came when Ibuki Tonami gave her a highball.
That moment became the starting point for many later drinking occasions between the two.
Afterward, encouraged by Ibuki and upperclassmen living in the dormitory, Botan began trying many different kinds of alcohol.
These included wine, sake, and sparkling wine, and she gradually fell in love with the world of drinking.
She dislikes carbonated drinks because they make her burp repeatedly.
That makes fizzy beverages difficult for her, even as her taste for alcohol grows.
Alcohol becomes an important link between Botan and Ibuki Tonami.
What starts with drinking together soon expands into spending more and more time together in everyday life.
The two go shopping together and share meals outside.
They also take a trip to a private hot spring, deepening their relationship beyond simply drinking.
Botan lives in a dormitory and stays in Room 204.
Later, with the promotion of students and the arrival of new residents, she inherits the position of dormitory head.
When Botan was around 10 years old, she took part in a summer camp held by her swimming school.
During that trip, she was caught in a thunderstorm and ended up spending a night in the mountains.
That frightening experience left her with lasting trauma.
As a result, she is very afraid of thunder.
Having grown up in Nagano Prefecture, an inland region with no sea, Botan also developed a strong longing for seafood.
Her admiration for marine delicacies is tied closely to the environment in which she was raised.
Kamiina District in Nagano Prefecture is home to the Mars Komagatake Distillery operated by Hombo Shuzo.
This regional connection adds an extra layer of flavor to Botan Kamiina’s identity as a character associated with drinking culture.
