Editing Shizune Hakamichi (section)

===Students===
[[Misha|Shiina Mikado]] (a.k.a. Misha) - Shizune's best friend and interpreter, the two are rarely seen without the other. Shizune had met Misha at the beginning of her freshman year and had been friends every since. At the time, Misha knew only a little bit sign language, but just enough for the two to become friends. During their friendship, Misha's sign language developed to fluent levels; and unbeknownst to Shizune, Misha had developed a crush and eventually confessed in the Student Council room, only to have Shizune turn down her feelings which causes serious conflict later in [[Shizune's route|Shizune’s route]]. 

Although Shizune does has a deep appreciation for Misha, she has trouble expressing it. All throughout her arc, Shizune notes that she doesn't give Misha enough credit for being such an asset to her. In fact, Misha's grades slipped due to her persistence to be with Shizune and help her, which Shizune has a heavy heart about. While the two rarely fight, the chosen ending in Shizune’s route determines whether or not Shizune and Misha continue to be friends after graduation from Yamaku.
