She has long silver-white hair and crimson eyes like jewels. She never loses her composure and maintains a dignified attitude toward everyone.

A girl with deep navy hair nearly black and pale blue eyes like ice. Usually quiet and showing little emotion, she is known as an unapproachable figure in the academy.
