Profile
The executive officer of Secret Society holoX.

As holoX's point of contact and the one in charge of external affairs, she is the de facto leader of the group, handling matters that the founder cannot.

While she may seem aloof and standoffish at first glance, she is a compassionate person who cares a lot for her subordinates.

Unfortunately, she is also rather prone to screwing up in crucial moments.
