Misaki/Yoriko Sagisawa (鷺澤 美咲/頼子, Sagisawa Misaki/Yoriko) is a young girl who stays at home and looks out at the world through her room window and Yoriko is her cat. In the game, the magical sakura tree granted her wish, and she possessed Yoriko's body, which transformed into a copy of her original body, but with cat ears. In the anime, Yoriko jumps out of Misaki's window to see the world in her place, and was transformed into a maid resembling Misaki with cat ears. Yoriko has a fear of people after an incident with some children, and her events detail her settling in as a maid as well as slowly venturing into the outside world. As the series progress on, she eventually overcomes her fear and is able to walk outside. As she says, it is because of Junichi's kindness. Due to the fact that Sakura Yoshino chose to kill the giant Sakura tree, the magic that turned her into a human was no longer. During her last day as a human, she requested Junichi to go on a date with her, with the destination being his school. After they play around at the school, she reveals everything to Junichi, then disappears. She is later seen going back into the house she once was in, in cat form.
