Waka
Mari's closest friend, Waka is sharp-witted and genuinely adorable. Around adults and unfamiliar faces, she's the picture of poise—refined, put-together, the kind of kid who says exactly the right thing. But the moment Mari shows up, all bets are off. That's when Waka's filter basically disappears and she just starts word-vomiting whatever pops into her head. It's a pretty stark contrast, and honestly kind of endearing—you can tell she's completely comfortable being her unfiltered self around Mari.
