Sorae Ishizawa is a second-year student at Hanasakigawa Girls' High School, and the bassist of AMBiTiON.

Name

 * First name - "sora" (空) = sky, and "e" (絵) = drawing. "E" (へ) is also a particle meaning towards/to, making Sorae's name "towards the sky".
 * Surname - "ishi" (石) = rock/stone, and "sawa" (沢) = swamp

Background
Sorae lives with her parents and two brothers. One of her brothers goes to college, and gave Sorae her current bass guitar.

Appearance
Sorae has dull amber eyes and unkempt pinkish-red hair below shoulder length. Her bangs are split into a middle part, with the rest longer and framing her face messily, and she has two iconic strands of hair springing up on the top. She has bags under her eyes and acne most noticeable around her jawline and forehead.

Personality
Sorae is shy, anxious, and doesn't like to put effort into anything. She wishes to live a simple and carefree life, but not only is responsibility and commitment unavoidable, Sorae can't help but stress about everything, so it's basically impossible for her. She is very content with status quo and tries to avoid any type of conflict.

Sorae comes off as paranoid and quiet, but once talk about anime springs up, she becomes extremely sociable and can talk about it for possibly hours. In fact, Sorae is so well-versed in the topic, that she can easily give show suggestions to certain people. Her passions are incredibly important to her, especially when she is afraid to do anything new.

Trivia

 * In the early stages of Summery/AMBiTiON's conception, Sorae was an excitable but strange girl who loved to draw. She was hesitant to join AMBiTiON because, despite her wish to make friends, she was afraid to lose her love for drawing. In her past experiences, Sorae's passions were short-lived, and she had to learn to make a balance between drawing and music.
 * When excited, Sorae refers to her friends with the affectionate name suffix "-cchi".
 * She was inspired to join AMBiTiON because of an anime called Mainichi Hokago Music Club!.
 * She was partly based on a friend of 3LeafKlover.
