Ever17 Personality:
As the youngest one in the group that was trapped in LeMU, one would think that Coco would be too traumatized to act like a girl her age should in that situation. However, believe it or not, despite the situation she had been in Coco was very energetic! Maybe a bit too energetic with her wild imagination and crazy stories that would be too much for even a TV program to broadcast.
Because of this fact, Coco is one of the friendliest in the group of those captured in LeMU. It's not even that she was trying to be a positive person-- She's just extremely friendly and is someone who is willing to talk to just about anyone. (Which it should also be noted that if Takeshi or someone else didn't try to be positive, Coco would be gloomy with the rest of the group.) She doesn't really mind if you aren't one to say a lot as she's willing to carry most of the conversation if it makes the other person comfortable. Or rather she doesn't even realize that she's talking the most if she's the one behind most of the conversation. To that end, Coco's a relatively normal girl compared to everyone else in the group. Though, as noted by the main character, she doesn't really act her age at times. Since Coco enjoys playing childish games likes "chick" where one has to act like a chick. Or she can be really immature and bother someone that's trying to sleep just to get them to play with her since she herself can't sleep. And if they don't agree right away? She'll either whine until they agree or until they get her attention concentrated on something else. Though, to be fair, it's not incredibly hard to get her interests else where.
She's also quite gullible that it's not incredibly hard to trick her. A good example of this is when the group play hide and seek and Takeshi tricks Coco into revealing her own location by inciting her into speaking out loud.
However, if you're thinking she wasn't taking the situation they had been in seriously? You would be wrong there. Despite how she acted around everyone with her outgoing personality, Coco underneath it all was afraid. At the start of everything, the thing that kept everyone going despite being trapped was the chance that someone outside would report that they are missing and would rescue them before the whole place collapses. But as the days went by and no one came to rescue them, Coco started feeling lonely and abandoned. This is further proven when in one scene, Coco commits vandalism and uses two screwdrivers to draw on the back of a stone statue in LeMU. Her single reason being that she felt abandoned which thus also made her feel lonely. So, in a way, it was how she wanted to get back at the people who had left them all in LeMU with the impending danger of the place collapsing. And also probably to leave a mark behind that proved they existed and they were there.
This is only amplified when you realize that Coco actually has the power to see the past and future. With that power, Coco most likely also saw Takeshi's and her own demise on the last day. That's why for Coco being alone is the one thing she hates the most.
But, again, Coco did understand how dire the situation was and when she needs to behave properly and when to help. An example being when she goes with Takeshi and Tsugumi to do repairs on LeMU to slow down any more flooding in the other areas. In this scene, Coco follows Tsugumi's instructions without question and helps to her best ability. Following that scene we also see more of how Coco really is just a young girl stuck in a horrible situation when Tsugumi gets horribly hurt during the repairs. In the aftermath of this scene, Coco ends up crying her eyes out due to guilt and worry over having seen Tsugumi hurt herself-- Since, well, it didn't help that Tsugumi had gotten hurt protecting her.
By the end of her route, though, since she was able to keep faith that Blick Winkel would keep his promise to come rescue her, Coco became a slightly more positive person. Even going as far as believing that one day she and Blick Winkel would be able to meet again despite the fact that he isn't human and lives on a different dimension from her. But through the events she and her friends went through, she's able to keep faith that they'll meet again showing Coco's growth from someone who felt lonely and abandoned to a young girl with hope for the future and more.
In the end, though, Coco is just a normal girl, outgoing and energetic girl who loves to be with her friends the most. Oh, and let's not forget telling said friends horrible jokes that only make sense to her.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
+ Friendly! No matter the personality, Coco doesn't have trouble talking to people. This is probably just due to the fact that Coco enjoys talking a lot, though.
+ Energetic! When the others in the LeMU party lack energy then Coco's there to play. Coco has a lot of energy and she's always running around or moving in some form or way when she can.
+ Generally, what you would consider a good girl. Coco's parents are extremely busy and they are rarely if ever home to keep their daughter company. However, despite her loneliness, Coco never shows complaint but rather understanding to how busy her parents are.
+ Can bend spoons! Okay, yeah, that probably sounds ridiculous and everything but Coco is a bit special. Coco herself notes that ever since she was born that she has been able to see things no one else seems capable of seeing. These things include seeing people from the past and future.
+ Can tell some awesome jokes. Or so she likes to believe they are awesome.
- Despite her energy, one would mistaken Coco as an optimistic type of girl. But, really, that's all it is. Energy. Coco's energetic and playful behavior probably comes from her loneliness that she feels but she's quite pessimistic at times. In fact, Coco was technically one of the first amongst the group to express her doubts about being able to escape from LeMU. Her pessimism has since improved having escaped from LeMU but no one's perfect so she isn't a perfectly optimistic person.
- Demanding at times when she wants to play. In Coco's route, she wakes up Takeshi in the middle of the night constantly to make him play with her because she can't sleep. She goes as far sticking ketchup up his nose to bother him and make him wake up even.
- Not as strong or specially talented as the others on the ship. She isn't super smart nor is she very strong. She doesn't know how to cook either so she doesn't know how to help prepare food. In this, she can be seen as the one that causes the most burden amongst the others. Thus why she does try her best to help when she can.
- Gullible. She is the type to believe what she is told.
- Gets lonely very easily. Coco hates being alone and it's actually something that terrifies her the most. At the end of the her route when she's about to be put into a slumber to save her from dying, she refuses to go to sleep at first because she doesn't want to be alone.

Samples
First Person Sample:
Tor, tor, tor-- Tooooorchic~!
[Hello, Johto! Today on this feed, you hear the sound of a Torchic. Or, at least, it's making the same sounds as a Torchic but if you can tell the difference between a Torchic and isn't then you'll quickly realize that that is not the voice of a Torchic. If you decide to take a quick look at the video feed then you'll notice a pink haired girl mimicking the movements of a Torchic however. Flapping her hands and "pecking" included.
Eventually, she stops and picks up the PokeGear to address you.]
Hehehe, did you see that? Didn't I do great? I'm really the best at acting like a Torchic, right? Hey, hey, does anyone want to play too "Torchic" with me? It'll be fun!
[She turns off the feed at this point-- Except, it's quickly turned back on right after to show Coco once again.]
Oh! But, hmhmhm, Coco should warn you... I'm the best at these sort of games! So don't be disappointed if you lose!
[... At least now, she seems satisfied with her message. Click off goes the feed finally.]
Third Person Sample: "Mm! Mm, I understand!" Coco nodded to show her understanding even further, "Thank you, Mrs. Mom!" She waved off to the woman that called herself her "mother" before leaving the house.
Of course, Coco already has a mother, though. And there's Tsugumin too who is like a mom to her. But she appreciated the strange woman who called herself her mom too. Even if it had been rushed, Coco still got a small explanation of what's going on and that gave her some comfort in its own way. For now, she was outside looking at the sky now.
It was different. Why did she understand that? Because "he" isn't there. She couldn't see her brother -- Blick Winkel-san, the third eye. Blick Winkel-san isn't human and exists in a completely different dimension from her but at home she could see him because of her ability. She always felt a deep connection to him because of this fact. Blick Winkel-san always watched her and everyone. He was always, always there. As a fellow Solarian, the fact that she can't see him meant that this place isn't home. Or at least it's not "her" home.
Just like how there were multiple different versions of her world then there's the possibility of another world existing. A world where she can't "see" her brother.
"That's too bad." She said in a disappointed voice. In fact, it'd be a lie to say she wasn't disappointed. But she tries to not let it get to her. Because Blick Winkel promised her that they would meet again. After seventeen years of being trapped under LeMU in a deep sleep, she's finally free to look at the sun once again. Takepyon, Tsugumin, Nakkyu, Sora-san, and Sho-chan... Oh, Tsugumin and Takepyon's son and daughter too! Everyday from now on is going to be fun, that's the feeling she got after the whole ordeal.
Of course, there's the possibility that they weren't here-- But she didn't believe that. Or, maybe, she just didn't want to believe that was alone here. Not again. This new situation isn't going to change all the effort everyone put into being free again. She just has to find everyone. Yeah, that's got to be it. It's like hide-and-seek all over again!
"Hmmhmm~ One, two, three--!"
She started counting. But being "it" isn't very fun. So where could everyone possibly be?
