Ueda is a second-year student under Fujigaya and becomes Akira's friend around that time. She's notably tall—same height as Fumi—with a naturally calm, composed expression that matches her personality. She's not easily flustered and tends to keep to herself, though she's not actually shy or antisocial; she just prefers staying out of the spotlight.
When Oono Haruka recruits her for the drama club's new production, Ueda resists at first, insisting she'd rather read plays than perform in them. She goes along with it anyway and ends up taking a stage role.
With Kyouko in a different class, Ueda becomes Akira's main confidante. She finds Akira's behavior amusing and thinks she's cute, sometimes noticing similarities between her and Fumi. Akira appreciates how thoughtful Ueda is—especially when Ueda dismisses the class gossip about their teacher as tasteless and unkind, which comes as a relief.
She works part-time as a library aide.
