12
13	One of the three Heroines in the series. She is also one of the members of the Norn ship.
14	----
15	* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: She was isolated for her powers.
16	* CloudCuckoolander: She is an odd duck, mostly thanks to having been alone for so long and from such a young age that she doesn't have much frame of reference for how people normally behave. Before she remembers her name, Sorata mentally dubs her "Ms. Weirdo."
17	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Pink hair and pink eyes.
18	* LossOfIdentity: She was ostracised so completely from other people because of her powers that she's forgotten what she was even named. "Koharu" is a name given to her by the same traveler who told her to expect the Norn, and she's even forgotten that by the time the ship arrives.
19	* NiceGirl: Easily one of the nicest characters in the series.
20	* OnlyOneName: She doesn't even have a real name, as Koharu was how the traveller who invited her to the Norn called her.
21	* PlayingWithFire: She is able to control flames. Out of all of her peers, her ability is extremely powerful - on Senri's route, it's noted that unlike every other esper, she's not fatigued at all by using her power.
22	* RoseHairedSweetie: Her hair is pink and she's easily the kindest female character in the game.

35	* HimeCut: Given that she is an Ojou, she wears her hair this way.

53	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: She has the power to erase people's memories. When she was younger, she had been ordered to erase other people's memories in the name of erasing pain, sadness and suffering. However, she resents her ability and is afraid of it.
54	* {{Ninja}}: She is a talented one at that and has great physical abilities. This is because her family descends from a long line of ninja, dating back to very old times.
