Appearance

A blue tattoo sits beneath her right eye and a small mole rests below her mouth, the two marks that set her apart most. She keeps her black hair short and glossy, pairs pale blue eyes with a polished, self-assured air, and dresses in a red shirt under a black blazer. A beaded choker and dark studs round out the look.

Personality

Composed yet commanding, she never steps out of the role she occupies. Heroes dread her because of the harsh, unforgiving way she drills the weaker ranks, the reputation that won her the Demon Instructor title. Notably, she carries no special powers of her own.

History

She turns up at a Hero Association meeting reviewing a hero report, remarking that the organization drew heavy criticism after Marugori's rampage across B-City and D-City. When the Monster Association seizes Waganma, she sits in on the emergency session and backs the plan to recover the hostage, only for Destrochloridium to hijack a staffer's corpse and disrupt the room before Superalloy Darkshine arrives to destroy it.

In the Big Promotion extra chapter, the assessor Cautous calls her in and notes how notorious her strictness has become. She owns it plainly, observing that heroes below S-Class can be disciplined in plenty of ways, and when Cautous lets slip that some have complained about her, she coolly asks for their names and vows to find them out regardless.
