Ibarada is a second-year graduate student and the most senior member of Ikeda lab. She's petite with long lavender hair and matching purple eyes that give her a pretty striking look.
Despite her seniority, she's honestly more interested in handheld games and napping on the lab couch than anything else. Work doesn't really motivate her—she's the type who'd rather be playing than grinding through research. She's got a whimsical, almost cat-like personality that comes through in how she interacts with people.
She likes to mess with her juniors for kicks, especially Kosuke Inukai, who's her childhood friend and also kind of her love interest (though she'd probably deny the second part). Teasing him is basically her favorite lab activity. She'll also occasionally poke fun at Shinya Yukimura just to stir things up or entertain herself.
Her whole vibe is goth-pajama energy—she usually wears a lab coat over a dark dress with a neck ribbon tie and gloves, often going barefoot despite the pantyhose. It's very her: smart when she needs to be, but mostly just vibing and causing low-key chaos.
