Michelle Tachibana is a student at Starlight School and half of the idol unit SpLasH! alongside her best friend Asami Himuro.
Appearance
Michelle stands out with bright orange hair that falls past her shoulders, styled with a braid across the top and a low side ponytail held by two small wing-shaped clips. She has sea foam green eyes.
Personality
She's an outgoing, loyal person—almost to a fault when it comes to Asami. Her friendship with Asami drives most of her major decisions. The most telling moment comes during the Tristar auditions when she deliberately jumped off the balance beam after Asami fell, saying it was pointless to continue without her.
Story
Michelle showed up during the Tristar Arc hoping to join alongside Asami, but when Asami failed the audition, Michelle backed out immediately rather than pursue it alone. She's also notable for once helping Ichigo reach Angely Sugar's headquarters using a digital map on her Aikatsu Phone when the main navigation systems failed.
Trivia
She and Asami share an Unknown Torte Coord. She's a pop-type idol who favors Coords from Magical Toy. Interestingly, she shares the same voice actress as both Lisa Shirakaba and Satsuki Miwa. While her surname is shared with Anna Tachibana, they use different kanji—hers being 立花, with tachi (立) meaning "standing" and bana (花) meaning "flower."
