Personality[]
Yotsuba is a gentle yet cool girl, who has high regard for her family. Described to be a tomboy, she is compassionate and kind. She remains cool and has a composed poker face.
According to Phandy, Yotsuba's unwavering determination is one of her greatest qualities.[2] The girls have a strong passion for dance and willingly wish to learn how to improve. They meet Fuka, a skilled dancer, and ask for her aid in their journey to get better at dancing. However, Yotsuba quickly learns she isn't as good at dancing as she had hoped. Not letting this get in her way, she continues to dance and try to succeed like the others.[3]
As part of her determination, Yotsuba is told that Kokomi and Saki wish to set up a dance club at school. Knowing she has no skill in rhythm, she secretly takes a class in hopes that she may improve so that she may be able to join them making the dance club.[4] Another case is when Yotsuba wishes to search for a four-leaf clover. She ignored Kumachi's advice to search for it with the 'Search Key' which could have potentially been easier. She isn't afraid to go on her hands and kneel down to find something that she knows is precious to her family.[2]
Relationships[]
Kazuha Shizuki - Yotsuba's mother, who Yotsuba respects and loves. When she was younger, she had spent a lot of time in a field searching for a four-leaf clover to give to her mother. Upon finding one, she gives it to her and she uses it as a bookmark. However, one day, it becomes lost and Yotsuba is determined to find one again. Multi-tasking, fighting an Ikenaier and searching for a four-leaf clover and her treasure, she soon finds a clover which she gives to her mother.[2]
Nanoha Shizuki - Yotsuba's little sister. Yotsuba wants to protect her and therefore became a Phantomirage. Because her mother is always at work and she doesn't have a father, Yotsuba became a second mother to Nanoha.[citation needed] Wanting nothing to ever harm her, she always makes sure she's okay and prioritizes her safety before anything else.

Becoming Phantomi Clover[]

In awe at how they are able to protect people, she searches for them in hopes that she too may be able to transform into a Phantomirage.[5] Going grocery shopping with her younger sister, they encounter an Ikenaier. With her deep determination to protect her family, she became a Phantomirage in order to protect them from any danger ultimately transforming into Phantomi Clover.[6]
Finding her Treasure[]

Though try as she might, she was unable to locate where her treasure may be despite searching all day. Arriving back at the group's hangout, her mother and younger sister arrive after shopping at a book store. Here, she learns her mother had to replace her flower book in which had an important treasure to her. It had a 4 leaf clover inside which Yotsuba had given to her before and made into a bookmark.

Transformation[]
To transform, Yotsuba holds out her wrist and calls out "Phantomi Wristy". It begins to spin and light up revealing Yotsuba in white attire saying "Secret showtime!". Activating the transformation with the Phantomi Ring, she spins it and poses. Her short bobbed hair begins to glow a bright purple before disappearing as she spins to reveal long brown hair. A black mask covers her eyes and disappears revealing her eye make up. She looks at the camera and smiles. As she counts the numbers, she taps the Phantomi Wristy. When saying three, her hat appears, as she says two her skirt appears and as she says one she appears in full attire. The clover suit on her chest is enlarged on the screen as she pops out landing in a cute pose saying, "Okay!". She continues the transformation with a dance in a large room with a mini village in the background to represent the season of summer. Behind that are the 4 club suits. Diamond, spade, heart, and clover with the colors of blue, red, pink and purple. She completes the transformation by saying "Phantomi Clover, Yotsuba!" and "I want to protect those precious to me!".
