Twin sister to Rise, a first year with a talent for coding who seeks to enter the research institute part of the Academic City on her own merits.

A serious girl who is, herself, a prodigy, she nonetheless has an inferiority complex toward her older sister, who is an outright genius. She is somewhat socially awkward, not the least of which because she has spent most of her life devoting herself to her studies, but she is kind enough to be willing to help if someone really needs it and asks openly and honestly.

A foreign student from overseas.

Able to treat all people fairly no matter who they may be. Has a straightforward personality and is often relied upon by those around her.

However, when it comes to tales of ninjas, she becomes so enthusiastic that she almost seems like a different person entirely. She wants to becomes a ninja herself, and practices her ninja skills at the shrine near her school.

The daughter of a family that once led one of the pre-war ’zaibatsu’ mega-corporations of Japan.

She is currently the Captain of the Knights, and she wields a parrying dagger and rapier in matches. She is an effective leader, but her sense of humor and tendency to persistently try to recruit people she thinks will be useful to the knighthood can be off-putting. She is the head of the faction in the knighthood focused on reforming the system, which in the past has had a tendency toward corruption.

The daughter of an old and strict Japanese family.

She is extremely self-disciplined and tends to take a neutral stance or that of a moderator in terms of the knighthood’s internal conflicts. She won the previous year’s Festival and as a result gained the title of Weiss. She wields a standard straight sword in combat, and her style is focused on countering her opponent’s moves. She hates lies and liars.
