"What me? No I didn't do that." Ichigo is extremely childish and playful. Many of the other members are victims to her pranks here and there, but it's hard to stay mad at her too long since all she has to do is pull out her award winning smile and horrendously cringe worthy aegyo and annoy you to the point that you have no choice but to forgive her. She can throw fits when something doesn't go her way but one of the older unni's and Vanilla, mainly Vanilla, get her back on track telling her that she needs to straighten up and be serious. Ichigo has a hard time sticking up for herself despite her happy go lucky attitude and will often shrink away when lectured looking about ready to cry some times. 

"Do you need anything? Just tell me if you do I'll be here for you." Ichigo is a caring girl, and will try to help those close to her whether they want it or not. Granted sometimes it backfires but she still tries anyway. She's also pretty clingy when she gets nervous or passes someone she's a huge fan of, such as BTS or Infinite, and will cling to whoever is closer doesn't matter who it is whether it's the maknae or the leader. She's also very clean and has a bit of ocd being obsessive about where things are placed and kept. If it has a place then it needs to be put back in that same place when done with it, which in turn makes her very organized and her room is completely spotless and neat even with her crazy amount of Kpop merchandise. 

"Do you think this is better or this?" Now this girl is very indescive she can not make a desicison to save her life. Go out to eat? You'll be waiting at least a half an hour before Ichigo decides what she wants to eat. Grocery store? At least an hour because she's comparing ingredients between two products that are the same thing but one is more expensive and she wants to know why. But overall Ichigo is a loving and gentle girl who has a few childish and prank tendencies.
