Ishika. Ishika Beautiful, sweet, nice,generous, amazing, and talented girl who's always minding her own business. She pretends not to care about what others say when deep inside she does. She's very bad at hiding her emotions. She easily gets angry and sometimes crying is the way she shows her anger. However she brings happiness everywhere she goes and knows how to make people feel better. She's the kind of friend that will never let you down and will always be there for you throug your good and bad times. Ishika are the kindess and most generous person you will meet. If you have a Ishika in your life then be grateful for that.

otome isekai 

As an experienced otome isekai enjoyer of several years, I will give a short blurb of this genre.
Otome Isekai is a sub-genre of Isekai where the main character(s) are in some way transported to another world that resembles an otome game.

Isekai means "other world" in Japanese. Isekai stories are those where the protagonist goes to another world. Things like Escaflowne, Sword Art Online, even No-Game No-Life are all forms of Isekai.
Otome means "maiden" and "otome games" are a type of dating-sim visual novel game for girls and women. The goal is to make choices to navigate various story routes to win the hearts of different capture targets.

It is essentially the girly version of the modern shounen isekai that goes in the direction of female wish fulfillment. Instead of stuck in an action game, she's stuck in a romance novel or romance game. It is almost always "died and reborn there" rather than the sort of "stuck" we see in Sword Art Online or the "teleported" we saw in the 90s.
In general, otome isekais contain almost all of the following tropes:
1. The Main Character (MC) has foreknowledge of the events to come.
2. Our Main Character is usually a villainess.
3. Our Main Character almost always wants to avoid the "bad ending."
4. The setting is Lords and Ladies.
5. The Story is about Relationships.
6. It is written for The Female Gaze.
