Kashiwada does not show any facial expressions. She does, however, feel emotions. She is somewhat shy and blunt at the same time. She is not very secretive about her feelings, generally being very blunt when asked or when she feels it's necessary, but due to her expressionless face it can be hard to tell without context what she is feeling.
