PERSONALITY :
Positive : kind, cheerful, friendly, caring, responsible
Neutral : talkative, persistent, brave, protective, selfless
Negative : irritable, blunt, stubborn, naive, quarrelsome
ENFJ-A / Leo / Gryffindor-Hufflepuff / True Neutral

Kind and selfless : Mina tries to avoid hurting others, instead uplifting them wherever possible. She never fails to give her loved ones or people she finds cool words of encouragement when needed, even if she can't say much. She tries her best to show genuine love to everyone around her, even sacrificing herself to make them happy.

Responsible and caring : Mina sees all the members of Adore as her family and looks out for them and keeps them out of trouble, even those that are older than her by many years. She makes sure to give them words of encouragement before important events and be updated on what is happening to them, and take note of how she can make their day better.

Friendly, talkative and blunt : Mina loves getting to know others and she believes the best way to do so is by talking to them, about anything under the sun. However, Mina has a tendency to talk too much at times, sometimes when it is unwelcomed. Sometimes, she also says the wrong things, and usually at the wrong times, as she isn't someone who will hide her true feelings or opinions or pretend to be polite to someone she does not like.

Persistent, sometimes to the extent of being stubborn and naive : When Mina wants something, she will work hard towards it no matter how many obstacles are thrown in her face. If there is no way, she will make a way. Because Mina will not accept failure, she won't listen to people when they try to dissuade or even stop her. She won't stop fighting until she gets what she wants, and she will continue believing that she will.

Irritable and quarrelsome because she is protective : Mina doesn't tolerate bullying, whether intentional or unintentional. If someone tries to hurt her or her groupmates, she will fly into a rage. Going along with being stubborn, if people try to tell Mina what she doesn't want to hear, she will argue with them until the cows come home.

Brave : Mina is never afraid to say exactly what is on her mind, or to try doing crazy, even risky things.

Cheerful : Mina is always laughing and smiling, and tries to remain enthusiastic while interacting with others.

BACKGROUND : Mina was born in 1999 to a housewife and a volleyball coach. Just three years later, her younger sister Yumi was born. Mina spent most of her early childhood helping her parents to care for Yumi, and playing with her.

When Mina started middle school, she ended up in the school where her father was the coach of the volleyball team, and to appease him, joined the volleyball club. Nevertheless, she ended up falling in love with volleyball, and during every training and competitive match, gave her all in it. Thanks to her, the school earned many wins. Mina later became aware that several prestigious overseas universities offered scholarships for school team players, and wanted to go to a university in America. Until she accidentally watched a video on NicoNico called "Aqours First PV", and was instantly captured by the cute anime girls, the upbeat melody and the cheerful lyrics.

Mina later discovered other idol groups, and spent her free time watching their videos and learning their dances, and realised dancing made her happy, somehow happier than volleyball did. Even though she tried to put all her heart into trainings and matches, she just didn't feel it. She wished she was dancing in her room instead, or even on a stage. When she told her parents how she felt, they gave her a compromise. She could take a gap year after high school to audition for companies and if she didn't get accepted within a year, she would go to college on a scholarship as a school team volleyball player. Which she did, and she auditioned for several companies. Unfortunately, she was rejected by all the companies in Japan that she auditioned for. Luckily, she had gotten to know about K-pop idols and Korean companies through her schoolmates, as K-pop was gaining traction in Japan due to many groups' Japanese promotions. Mina decided to go to Korea to audition for several companies, and was eventually accepted to Sunlight Entertainment. She later debuted in their girl group Adore in 2018.

CONNECTIONS : 

— Younger Sister : Tanaka Yumi (16) / Adore Member / shy, timid, cheerful, bubbly / 11 out of 10
Mina and Yumi have been close since their childhood, and even now, they're always seen together. They're always hanging out together during breaks. The other members of Adore wonder how they have so much to talk about when they're always together, but that's just how close the Tanaka sisters are. (fc : Izone's Nako)

— Labelmate : Vivienne Wong (20) / Necalli Member / cheerful, talkative, blunt, sweet / 7 out of 10
Vivienne was Mina's first friend when the latter became a trainee, and they bonded and became close friends due to both having a similar personality. These days, they're mostly sending each other funny or relateable stuff by instant messaging, or meeting up to hang out between and after practises. (fc : G Idle's Yuqi)

— Groupmate : Park Nayoung (24) / Adore Member / tba / tba
her app is bare but from her description on the plotlines page I feel like she would be constantly caring for Mina and Mina would be really caring towards her too and they'd basically be the big sisters of the group since the love plotline is supposed to be the mama (fc : Camila's Yubeen)

— Groupmate : Park Soyee (16) / Adore Member / tba / tba
Not really sure how they'd interact but I feel like Mina would be an older sister figure to Soyee and Soyee would get annoyed with Mina babying her and shes like "look I may be a kid but I can take care of myself" (fc : Loona's Yeojin)

— Friend : Valentina (3) / Sunlight Entertainment Staff / tba / tba
Mina goes crazy whenever Valentina enters the practise rooms or wherever she happens to be, and is always ready to shower Valentina with pets or cuddles. (fc : random cat on google)

How she gets along with the rest of the staff and the other members of Adore is up to you but generally she'd treat the other members as her sisters.

TRAINEE LIFE  : 

— Mina started teaching herself how to dance after she watched Aqours' first PV. As her home was rather small, she would practise in the school hall after school, sometimes even before volleyball trainings. She didn't know what she was doing back then, she just knew she was having fun. But as the days passed and she found herself increasingly wishing she was dancing while she was doing other things, Mina began to wonder if just learning dance for fun would be good enough for her. Which was why she decided to take a gap year and audition for companies. Thinking that maybe she really was meant for the idol life, she agreed when Sunlight Entertainment offered her a contract. During her trainee days at Sunlight, Mina tried her best to be the perfect trainee and be friendly and nice to everyone in addition to working hard. However, there were just some trainees she couldn't get along with no matter how hard she tried. Nevertheless, Mina eventually was chosen to debute as a member of Adore in 2018.
