Age: 29
Misae is the heart of the Nohara household—and its absolute tyrant. She handles all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, and childcare that comes with being a 1990s Japanese housewife, though how well she actually manages these tasks varies wildly depending on the day. She genuinely cares about her family, but that doesn't stop her from being a complete hypocrite who'll lay down strict rules and then immediately break them the second everyone leaves the room.
When it comes to discipline, she doesn't mess around. Her husband Hiroshi and son Shinnosuke have learned to fear her wrath, and even little Himawari isn't totally safe from her brutal punishment if they step out of line. Her spending habits are famously contradictory—she pinches pennies on anything for Hiroshi and Shinnosuke, but she and Himawari get the royal treatment. That said, she's capable of surprising generosity when the mood strikes.
Her attempts at budgeting and dieting are legendary failures. She'll launch some ambitious savings plan on Monday and abandon it by Friday. She's especially prone to convincing herself that bargain sales are helping the family finances, then buying everything in sight—defeating the entire purpose. Behind it all, she quietly stashes away money for herself, which she'd probably deny if asked.
