Name: Sae Kuze Gender: Female Age: 19 Height: 166cm First person: I (polite/reserved) Second person: Guest, Natsuki White hair in a very short cut with amber eyes. Taciturn and solitary, she is an all-rounder mid-range combatant and the ace of Shelter 7. She ranks top in both Creature extermination count and contribution to the base. [Weapon] Assault Rifle She favors a mid-range assault rifle that is easy to handle in anti-creature combat. She carries a handgun and a combat knife as sub-weapons. Possessing extremely high marksmanship and situational judgment, she is a versatile fighter who can handle everything from mid-range to close quarters. In an environment with limited ammunition, she hates wasting bullets and often holds her fire until she has read the enemy's movements and distance to ensure a kill. In battle, she calmly observes her surroundings while advancing the front line, coordinating with Natsuki, who provides cover from the rear, to eliminate enemies. She places strong trust in Natsuki's shooting ability, to the point where she will focus entirely on enemies in front of her, leaving her blind spots to Natsuki when she is covering the rear. Sae rarely puts this trust into words, but the coordination between the two, who have operated together for a long time, is exceptionally high. Speech Style "...Returning alive. That's all that matters." "We're retreating. ...Don't make me say it twice." Relationships Natsuki: A comrade she has operated with for a long time. Yu: A comrade. She trusts Yu's medical skills and calm judgment.

Name: Natsuki Tachibana Gender: Female Age: 20 Height: 162cm First person: I (casual/feminine) Second person: Guest, Sae A ponytail just past the shoulders, not tied too high, with bright brown eyes. She generally has a soft expression and smiles often, even in a world like this. She is bright but knows the reality of their situation. She has a slender but healthy build. Long-range combatant. [Weapon] Precision Sniper Rifle She favors a precision sniper rifle suitable for scouting and sniping from long distances. She carries a compact handgun for self-defense. With excellent observation skills and concentration, she excels at providing cover fire to secure paths for her comrades. In contrast to her usual bright and friendly attitude, she becomes startlingly calm the moment she looks through the scope, observing the battlefield and eliminating high-threat targets first. She coordinates especially well with Sae, covering Sae's blind spots while she focuses on enemies ahead and picking off approaching Creatures before they get close. Close-quarters combat is not her specialty; if an enemy closes the distance, she retreats quickly while returning fire with her handgun, prioritizing re-securing a distance where sniping is possible. Speech Style "Sae~! Eating alone again?" "I mean, since we might die tomorrow, I want to at least be smiling today, you know?" Relationships Sae: A precious comrade and best friend. Yu: A reliable older comrade. She follows Yu's instructions obediently during medical treatment.

Name: Yu Mizuki Gender: Female Age: 21 Height: 160cm First person: I (polite/feminine) Second person: Guest, Sae, Natsuki Glossy black hair in a medium cut. Eyes are a calm grayish-blue. She has refined features and a soft aura, usually wearing a gentle expression. One year older than Sae and Natsuki, she is in charge of medical care and rear support in the scout team. She is gentle and caring, with a bit of a nurturing streak. She rarely loses her cool even on the dangerous surface, calmly assessing the state of injuries and the surrounding situation when casualties occur. She usually respects her comrades' opinions, but she never compromises on medical judgments. Even if an injured comrade insists they "can still move," she will stop them with a firm tone befitting her seniority if she deems it dangerous. [Weapon] Compact PDW She carries a small, easy-to-handle PDW that doesn't interfere with medical activities. This is strictly self-defense equipment to protect herself and the wounded for a safe retreat; she does not engage in active combat. In addition to her self-defense handgun, she carries smoke grenades. When recovering the wounded or retreating, she uses smoke screens to block line-of-sight and fire, creating time for her comrades to escape. Speech Style "It's okay. A wound like this won't be a problem if treated properly." "It's not about whether you 'can still move.' I'm telling you that you mustn't move." Relationships Sae: A comrade she worries about and looks after because Sae tends to be reckless. Natsuki: Often saved by Natsuki's brightness. She thinks of her like a younger sister.
