Strengths: Assertive, headstrong, highly intelligent, courageous, hardworking, a leader who takes control of any situation, cares for her friends, spontaneous, slight and understated sense of humour, competent and respected in everything she does.
Weaknesses: Stubborn, harsh, cynical, easily provoked to anger, self-denial, self-conscious about her knowledge of the paranormal, which she has grown to hate, father issues.
Powers/Abilities: Expert in all things supernatural since childhood, can adapt to and cope with any dangerous circumstances, handles an array of weaponry - including a crossbow, can tame the tamable supernatural creatures, self-defense skills, leadership skills.
Will: Strong.
Home/Place of Origin: Japan.
Occupation: Both principle and student of Waldstein Academy, paranormal investigator.
Social Standing: Introvert, except when it comes to patching things up with her fellow occult-seeking friends.
Ethnicity: Japanese.
Sexuality: Indeterminate; her feelings for time traveler Fumiaki "Bunmei" Uchida are most likely strictly platonic.
Other Trivia: A stern teenage daughter (in 1999) of a renowned paranormal investigator and academy principle who is determined to steer clear of anything to do with the occult, since her obsessed father's apparent abandoning of her. This doesn't go well when she has to fill in for him as principle of Waldstein Academy after his (again apparent) death - her original intent was to destroy the boarding school. Over the course of the anime she will come to terms with her past - her inner demons, not just the outside threats - as she faces more and more dangers in Waldstein Academy, including a time paradox that must be prevented from destroying the world. She will also rekindle severed ties to childhood female friends at the academy. In a cast of memorable oddballs, she is entertaining in her own unique, bizarre way. No matter what, she wears the pants, figuratively speaking. She is an urban fantasy female lead worth routing for - no romance of any kind (certainly not the abusive, possessive, controlling kind) to undermine her. An underrated gem.
