Yoshiko Tsushima/Yohane the Parhelion

Yohane (ヨハネ Yohane) is the titular main character in Yohane the Parhelion.

Personality
Impulsive, defiant, talented, and most of all unlucky, Yohane has always dreamed of hitting the big time and turning her passion for singing into a career. Despite the odds eternally stacked against her, Yohane never gives up and will do anything to make her dreams of stardom a reality.

Compared to the original Yoshiko, she is brattier and more conceited at first, though underneath her formerly antisocial and somewhat cocky attitude, she has a good heart. In the end, she turns out to be just as kind, and grows out of her old ways and comes to love her hometown.

Yoshiko never turns down anyone in need. Since she becomes more sociable, losing her more abrasive traits, she gets that her fate is helping others through her kindness and charisma, also letting somewhat withdrawn characters like Mari and Riko break out of their shell. Hanamaru and Chika, on the other hand, are the first ones to help Yohane herself stop hiding in her shell.

Songs
The songs featuring Yohane are:
 * Far far away
 * Hey, dear my friends
 * GIRLS!!

Etymology

 * Her name Yohane (ヨハネ) is a common Japanese biblical spelling of "John". The latter is ultimately derived from the Hebrew male given name Yôḥānān, a shortened form of Yəhôḥānān (which roughly means "God is gracious").

Trivia

 * As with all of the main characters, Yohane can be considered as a "mirror" to Yoshiko:
 * Yohane is shown to be more expressive, wanting to perform and be openly admired by a live audience, as opposed to Yoshiko hiding behind her streams. While both still have some confidence issues, Yoshiko hides it behind her chuuni persona.
