Ran Isozaki

The protagonist in the story, Ran is introduced as a vivacious young lady having recently begun her first year in intermediate school where she engages in track-n-field as an extra-cirricular activity. Ran has always had a sense of insight about things that few other people can match; this is reflected in the fact that the two young cats Kishou and Tenketsu are running around her home that had been abandoned by their mother or previous owner. Ran is part of a traditional nuclear family (biological parents still married to each other) with an elder brother.
