She works as a scientist at the academy, where she's known for being cautious and sympathetic toward the MA-Vess pilots—a stance that constantly puts her at odds with her boss Natsuiri, who treats them purely as weapons against the lightness realm.
Her connection to the team runs deeper than professional. She was dating Akashi's older brother Aoshi before he died in the lightness realm. After his death, she became Akashi's legal guardian. It's later revealed that she's the one who pushed for Akashi to join the pilot program in the first place, though she comes to regret that decision. Fans often note the uncomfortable dynamic between them: she seems to unconsciously view Akashi as a way to fill the void Aoshi left behind, but Akashi sees through it and resents her for it.
Despite moving away, she still holds onto the apartment the three of them shared together—a physical tie to that earlier life.
