Born to an American mother and a Japanese father, she's a returnee girl who moved back to Japan in her 3rd year of elementary school. With a charming personality and adorable smile, she's an energetic beauty. She expresses her emotions strongly and loves making others happy. Because she puts others before herself, she makes friends easily. In her worldview, "friendship" is the most important thing, so she'll carve out time for her friends no matter how busy she is. Because she has that kind of personality, she hates being alone and succumbs to loneliness easily. She's very grabby with people she's close to. As a result, she's confessed to by boys often, but she always turns them down because, in her words "I don't really understand romance yet". She hates studying, but she loves exercise and all kinds of sports! Basketball, volleyball, swimming, track and field... She's in 4 different sports teams, so her days are quite busy. Meguru loves the word "youth", and is a hot-blooded girl at her core!

Meguru is an athletic extrovert who's always bursting with energy. She's quite popular at her high school for her looks and charm, and balances her social life and sports with her idol work seemingly flawlessly. Unlike [Mano](https://anilist.co/character/136823/Mano-Sakuragi) and [Hiori](https://anilist.co/character/136822/Hiori-Kazano), Meguru doesn't seem to have any sort of insecurities about her own capacities and the unit as a whole, and tends to help them with their worries since they tend to doubt themselves. However, Meguru seems to get lonely easily and dislikes to work alone. She is a first year in high school.

Meguru is good at talking to other people, but sometimes she has an unique way of expressing herself. Since she's good at making friends, Meguru sometimes helps Hiori (who is a shy person) to talk to Mano and gives tips on how she usually acts with her friends.
