>>3647625She is a very well balanced character. Neither a wonder-child with god-given talents nor someone who simply works so hard that she can keep up with all the better musicians. She is a healthy mix of both. She is an honest, sometimes naive person that slowly grows into a leadership position. She isn't a natural born leader nor someone who stubbornly refuses to shoulder responsibility. She also has no particularly prominent weakness, which might be seen as bad thing first, but also saves us from the "I have to overcome this one major flaw of mine or else I'll never improve" arc. There is nothing about her that makes me think "This so Kumiko" which makes her character more believeable. And last but not least, she gives other characters enough space to breath and develope without playing a major role in their development.
