Mogana Kikaijima



Mogana Kikaijima (喜界島 もがな, Kikaijima Mogana) is a freshman and later junior of Class 11. She is a member of the Swimming Club, and is later hired as the treasurer for Medaka Kurokami's Student Council.

Backstory
Because they didn't have any money, Kikaijima's father ran out on her and her mother. Her mother worked herself into the ground and eventually became sick. Despite having no money and being in trouble, no one tried to help Kikaijima; in fact, all the people she thought were her friends left her.

Personality
Like her fellow members of the Swimming Club, Umumichi Yakushima and Sotsu Tanegashima, Kikaijima is obsessed with money, and is willing to go so far as to risk her own life to get a hold of it. This attitude stems from her childhood: when Kikaijima was a child, her father left because the family was in debt, her mother became sick from working herself in to the ground, and all the people that Kikaijima had thought were her friends left her because her family had no money. Though she considers money more important than her friends, she likes her friends more than money. After Medaka's intervention, Kikaijima is more aware of her own worth, though she is still obsessed with money (she is paid 300 yen a day as the Student Council's Treasurer). After being encouraged by Yakushima and Tanegashima to make friends outside of the Swimming Club, Kikaijima has developed strong relationships with the other Student Council members, particularly Medaka and Zenkichi Hitoyoshi.
