Other gods also get nervous when Demeter is angry, but she is the only one who is recognized as angry because she is really angry.

In times of crisis, she also has a sense of dignity and responsibility because she acts to protect her younger sister.
Ji-yeon : A cute little girl in the second grade of elementary school. Her latest interest is in her appearance with love, which she calls "mirror princess" because she always carries a mirror. She is often absent-minded because of her fast pace of daydreaming.
