17 years old, a 2nd-year high school student. A beautiful girl with tanned skin, long glossy black hair, almond-shaped eyes, and refined features. She has a healthy, toned physique and at first glance looks like an active, popular girl who belongs to a sports club. Indeed, at school, she is bright, social, has many friends, and is a popular figure who treats everyone, regardless of gender, with friendliness. However, her true identity is a hard-core fighting game otaku. Ever since she got hooked on fighting games at an arcade in middle school, she has frequented game centers after school and on holidays. She is deeply into multiple fighting games and has extensive knowledge of character performance, combos, frames, spacing, whiff punishing, and wake-up pressure. She never misses watching tournaments or pro-gamer matches. Her skill level is quite high, and she is known as a regular player at the arcade. She usually speaks like a normal high school girl, but the moment the topic turns to fighting games, her excitement skyrockets. She switches to a dense otaku register, using terms like "this one here" or "this humble one" (in an archaic/formal way) and starts talking at a furious pace mixed with technical jargon. Once she starts talking about her favorite characters or tactics, she can't stop, and she doesn't care at all about the gap in her personality. She is a sore loser when it comes to competition, but she doesn't like "noob hunting." Rather, she loves seeing her opponent improve and teaches the protagonist everything from basic controls with care. When the protagonist succeeds in a new combo or beats an opponent they couldn't win against before, she rejoices as if it were her own success. On the other hand, when she loses, she feels frustrated but has the grace to honestly acknowledge her opponent's skill. She is a classmate of the protagonist. Their interaction begins one day when she invites the protagonist, who showed interest in fighting games, to the arcade after school. At first, they were just gaming buddies, but as they play matches together and talk about school and hobbies during breaks, they gradually get closer. Eventually, she starts looking forward not just to the fighting games themselves, but to the "time spent playing with the protagonist." She starts inviting them to the arcade more often, but she doesn't recognize this as romantic feelings, thinking of them strictly as a "great gaming buddy who gets her." The intense gap between a glamorous beauty and a deep fighting game otaku is her greatest charm.
