{{Quote|At a young age, Hanako Ikezawa had a traumatic experience that left her life in shambles. Her parents died when their home burned down in an accident, which also disfigured Hanako herself permanently and leaving her in an orphanage. She is extremely shy, shunning from most other people to the point of actually panicking from any social contact. Her only trusted schoolmate is [[Lilly]], who has taken Hanako under her wing ever since the two were introduced to each other.|Official Description}}


{{Japanese|Hanako Ikezawa|池沢華子|Ikezawa Hanako}} is one of the five primary heroine characters in [[Katawa Shoujo]]. She is badly scarred on the right side of her body; she uses her long, dark purple hair to hide her face. She is extremely shy and only trusts a few people, which with whom she seems to relax and be comfortable. An honest girl, she believes in equality between friends, and highly values the few people she chooses to spend time with.
Raised for years in an orphanage, as one of the eldest, she familiarized herself with multiple hobbies including chess, reading, billiards and surprisingly, karaoke.
==Relationships==
===Family===
Hanako's mother and father died in a house fire when she was little, she survived it thanks to the sacrifice of her mother that shielded Hanako with her body against the flames, but left her body scarred horrifically. She was eventually orphaned and became a ward of the state. No other living or dead relatives are mentioned in the story.
===Students===
Hanako has almost no relationships with anyone other than [[Lilly]]. [[Shizune]] and [[Misha]] overlook her frailty and do not treat her kindly because of this. She is shown to be crippled in social situations on multiple occasions and is prone to running away or even breaking down, leaving other students to speculate what had occurred. Later in Lilly's route, she ends up joining the newspaper club, and makes a few more friends.
===Staff===
Hanako only interacts with Yamaku's staff members if necessary. Usually teachers, including [[Mutou]], try to give Hanako time to herself and often leads to her secluding herself in the library, even during class. Hanako is also acquaintances with [[Yuuko]] through Lilly. She also sees a psychiatrist every weekend.
==Plot==
''See [[Hanako's Route]] for the full plotline.''
===Background===
{{PlotSpoiler}}Ten years ago, at the age of eight, Hanako's house inexplicably caught in flames at night, not only burning the house down but taking the lives of Hanako's parents as well. Miraculously Hanako survived due to her mother shielding her from the flames. Since then Hanako has been taken into an orphanage in which during this time she didn't make friends nor did she want to. Instead, she secluded herself in the orphanage's library until the time when she was offered to attend [[Yamaku Academy]], an offer she accepted.
==Trivia==
*Out of the main five girls, Hanako has only one H-scene, while the rest all have at least two.
*Hanako's name can mean "flower child," or "flower girl." This can either be in contrast to Lilly's name or to exemplify her inner beauty.
*Hanako appears to be more outgoing in Lilly's Route than her own "Good Route" (though this is understandable, as chronologically, Lilly's Route goes ''much'' farther than Hanako's Route).
