A gentle and kind-hearted classmate. The daughter of a Kobe trader, she is a "high-collar" girl with a very open-minded sensibility. Her mere touch can soothe anyone, though she also has a bit of a childish side.

She will look after Rin to the best of her ability, sheepishly admitting that he reminds her of her little brothers.

She is kind to Japanese and foreign students alike, and always manages to keep a middle ground between Rin and Chris, who tend to clash with each other.
