Kaolisahina

Kaolisahina is the poly ship between Kaoru Seta, Lisa Imai and Hina Hikawa from the BanG Dream! fandom.

Canon
Kaoru, Hina and Lisa are third-year high school at Haneoka Girls' Academy, as well as members of their bands; Lisa is the bassist for Roselia, while Kaoru and Hina are guitarists for Hello, Happy World! and Pastel*Palettes, respectively. They have quite similar personalities, as the three are outgoing, love to have fun and also have a passion (fashion in Lisa's case, theater in Kaoru's case and stargazing and finding "boppin'" things for Hina). In their 2nd year of high school, they were part of the Class 2-A, although Hina and Lisa were the only ones shown interacting with each other (such as in Roselia's First Band Story), before the event which featured the girls of Haneoka investigating the school's horror stories which also focused on Hina and Kaoru's relationship. Despite being separated into different classes in their 3rd year, the girls still remain friends.

The Cursed Well and the School Spirit
The event begins with students being told to go to their respective cleaning crews. Ran meets up with Lisa, Maya and Kaoru and Hina soon join them. Ran comments about the two "being something else," and Lisa laughs, also commenting it's impressive how they get so easily lost in their own worlds and how often it happens. Ran is surprised to find out Kaoru and Hina are friends, and after a bit of banter Lisa asks if they've been friends since the beginning of the second year. The two admit they can't exactly remember how they became friends, and when Ran comments about them again, Lisa tells her she's used to their antics since she's in the same class. In Chapter 1, when Hina shows the others that the well is empty, how there are no ghosts, she says it'd be interesting if there would actually be one, and Lisa tells her it wouldn't be. Hina then asks Kaoru if she'd find it fun, and Kaoru, with slightly trembling voice, says she wouldn't mind dancing with one.

In Kaoru's Card Story Episode, titled "Let Strange Things Be", Lisa is sighing and talking to herself how she is envious of the two being more courageous than she is. The two proceed to approach her, and Lisa explains she was amazed that neither of them was scared as they went through the school, rather Hina was having fun and Kaoru looked like she was barely fazed (when in reality, she was doing her best to hide her fear). When they tease her for it, Lisa tells them to quit it, and compliments them for being so brave. Kaoru tells her not to fret, and Hina adds that they are all different people so she wouldn't have to worry. Hina mentions wanting to meet a ghost, and Lisa asks what she'd want to do if she were to ever meet one. Hina says she'd look if they really are see-through and ask how they became a ghost in the first place. Lisa tells her that's just a way to get yourself cursed, and Hina turns to Kaoru, saying they would get along well with her (Kaoru). Kaoru trembles and stutters, trying to hide her fear as she says the ghosts wouldn't how fleeting her existence is due to how delicate and temperemental they are. Hina questions her once more, and Kaoru tells her she knows it the best because she played the part of a ghost in the play that was the behind the creation of the horror mystery in the first place. Hina is disappointed for a second but quickly bounces up and suggests they go look for the other horror mysteries. Lisa immediately asks Hina to count her out, and Kaoru is overtaken by fear as Hina lists off the different mysteries. When Hina asks for Kaoru's opinion, the latter says Hina's curious spirit is part of her charm, but also suggests to stop frightening Lisa. Hina, still in high spirits, suggests she and Kaoru go instead investigating, just the two of us, and after a moment of hesitation, Kaoru turns her down, claiming she thinks "[...] a mystery is at its most exhilarating when the answer eludes us" and how "[...] the thrill of imagining the unknown can be fleeting all the same". Hina tells Kaoru she is funny, and Kaoru sighs in relief, before Lisa asks if she is afraid of ghosts too. Kaoru asks where she got the impression from. Lisa says it's just a hunch, and Kaoru in panic covers it up claiming the idea is nothing but absurd. The story ends with Lisa thinking to herself how she thought Kaoru's voice sounded shriller during their conversation before dropping the thought.

Quotes
"A little while ago, I ended up helping some friends look into the seven mysteries of our school. It was terrible... Our rumors include spooky stories about things like a mirror that shows you someone else, or an anatomy model that moves... And we were looking into the scariest of them all. The story about an old well that drags you in if you look into it. Just imagining being pulled in is scary enough...! All you have to do is glance inside! I can't handle that kind of stuff at all, so I've always made it a point to avoid the area myself... But once we looked into it, it turned out to be just a bunch of baloney~! The whole thing started because of Kaoru and Hina! Someone saw those two talking late at night and let their imagination get the better of them. That's how the whole thing got started~. Isn't that funny~?! This whole time I've been afraid because of my own classmates!"
