Fukuda is a tall man with chartreuse eyes and long, spiked blue hair combed towards his left. He wore a white shirt, black trousers and matching suspenders, and had multiple silver piercings: three on his left ear, two below his mouth and two above his left eyebrow. When out in public, he wore a green coat with a hood. Since his capture, he has worn a Kura prisoner uniform, consisting of white trousers, a matching shirt, slippers and bracelet on his right wrist.
By far Fukuda's most noticeable feature is the massive scar covering most of the right side of his head, the result of a large portion of his skin being torn off by his drill. [4] Above his right eye is a self-applied hole that goes all the way through his head. He also has several silver piercings above his left eye, on his left ear, and underneath his lip, all of which he seemingly got after his suicide attempt.

Fukuda is somewhat of an outlier compared to other serial killers, his drive to kill rooted in a misplaced form of altruism. After inadvertently curing his arithmomania by drilling a hole in his head, he felt compelled to inflict the same injuries onto others, hoping to share his newfound "enlightenment", despite acknowledging the low survival rate. However, this means that he was the only killer to decline John Walker 's offer to kill Kiki Asukai , since he, uniquely, didn't kill for the sole sake of killing, and genuinely believed he was helping people, thus having no interest in "dream holes".
He also willingly cooperates with Kura as a brilliant detective, playing a key role in unmasking John Walker's identity by providing Koharu Hondomachi with valuable information and providing an alternate viewpoint that ultimately proved instrumental. He also saved her from Nahoshi Inami at the cost of falling into a coma, having come to develop a warm relationship with her. However, he still has no issue killing people for his own sake, leaving Yuji Oonuki to be shot in his place and killing two paramedics during his initial escape from the Kura.
Despite his brain damage, Fukuda has shown himself to be an exceptionally composed individual, often presenting himself with an affable, almost casual persona, and is extremely intelligent, even after his suicide attempt, so much so that he was made a brilliant detective after he successfully figured out the nature of the Mizuhanome System by himself, and was both smart and convincing enough to hide the fact that he could retain his memories as Anaido from the Wellside. It's also implied that he was extremely well-read.
As a side effect of his former arithmomania, Fukuda possesses an exceptional memory, at least of events prior to his suicide attempt, able to recall an event's precise date and time. He himself noted however, that his affinity with numbers dropped dramatically after his failed suicide, as intended.
Certain elements of Fukuda's id well and personality, including having all his victims living as a family and calling Akihito Narihisago with familial terms such as "brother" (behaviour mirrored by Anaido), imply that Fukuda, for much of his life, was an exceptionally lonely individual, meaning that his crimes could have been the result of a desire for companionship.


Nishimura was a tall young man with short brown hair and grey eyes. He wore a black suit, white shirt and cyan tie.

Nishimura was a fairly amicable man, coming across as friendly and approachable. However, this casual demeanour could sometimes come across as smug or condescending to others, especially those outside the Kura, though this evidently wasn't the case, continuing to be good-natured with them afterwards. When conducting his work however, he was focused and efficient, up until the very end.


Uraido appears as a younger version of Hayaseura, being an older man with red eyes, a white moustache and matching hair pulled into a ponytail. He wears Hayaseura's "John Walker" disguise, consisting of a red double-breasted jacket with tailcoats, a white shirt and a large black bowtie, white trousers and a pair of brown boots. He also wears a pair of brown gloves and a brown top hat with a dark pink ribbon tied around it. In addition, he carries with him a brown cane with a gold top.

Uraido, like the other brilliant detectives, can be seen as a distillation of Hayaseura's personality; he is thus a pure, honest reflection of the darker aspects Hayaseura hid, shown when he burst out laughing at his realisation that he had killed Kaeru . Filled with a morbid curiosity, he intended to roam his own id well forever, marveling at the id wells of countless serial killers he found within.
Despite his Machiavellian traits, he still believes his actions to be rooted in his own form of justice, making him as legitimate a brilliant detective as the others. He also subscribes to a form of moral relativism, believe that what people call justice changes depending on what criteria they use, claiming that there would be others in the real world who would share his beliefs. However, all of this was likely window-dressing for his God-complex, which, as with Hayaseura, dominant Uraido's actions even on a subconscious level.


ID꞉INVADED

Akihito is a relatively tall man with green eyes (blue in the manga) and somewhat long, spikey, dull pink hair, as well as a small goatee. He wears a Kura prisoner's uniform consisting of white bottoms, a black shirt and a white jacket, which he ties around his waist. He also has a white bracelet around his right wrist.
Before his incarceration, he was clean-shaven and his hair was brighter and stood higher. He generally wore a black suit, a white shirt with the top button undone, and a loose black, white and brown striped tie.

Narihisago is, at his core, a broken, twisted man, the deaths of his family having greatly traumatised him and warped his mental state. Most of the time, Narihisago presents a weary, humorously bleak demeanour, often having a tired, cold smile around his former colleges. This fatigued casual air barely covers up the empty, lifeless state he falls into whenever he's by himself or around other serial killers.
A core tenant of Narihisago's personality is the overwhelming hatred he has towards other serial killers, which manifests itself as an uncontrollable urge to kill. Because Narihisago has more often than not been inside their id well, he knows them on a more intimate level than even themselves. This, coupled with his exceptional analysis and detective skills, means that he can root out a person's psychological weaknesses and exploit them, dismantling their perception of themselves and their philosophies, taking a disturbing amount of pleasure as he does so, knowing they will most likely end up killing themselves.
Nowhere is this hatred more extreme than with John Walker, the only one to elicit extreme emotional responses from him anymore. The mere thought of him is usually more than enough to work him into a furious rage, most likely because he holds him ultimately responsible for the death of his family. For months, Narihisago lived in anxiety that John Walker existed within his own id well, fearful at the thought that his own mind had been manipulated somehow, his frustration at one point driving him to self-harm.
Despite his hatred of John Walker, Narihisago also burdened himself with the guilt of his family's deaths. At times he would live vicariously through Sakaido, imagining Kaeru as his daughter Muku , to the point where Momoki had to remind him to isolate himself mentally from Sakaido. However, after his time in Kiki Asukai , Narihisago was able to finally accept that his family was gone and start moving on.
Though his mind has been twisted and broken, Narihisago still has the heart of an officer, his motivation to save people still as strong as ever. Indeed, this can be seen in Sakaido's personality, who is willing to put aside solving the mystery of Kaeru's death in order to save people.


ID꞉INVADED

Anaido appears as what is essentially a younger version of Fukuda, being a young man with long, spiked blue hair and chartreuse eyes, noticeably lacking Fukuda's scar and hole. He wears a blue trenchcoat with a red interior with the collar popped up, a white shirt with a chartreuse necktie, black trousers and red boots, as well as a pair of silver piercings on his left ear and three silver rings on each forefinger.

Unlike the other brilliant detectives, Anaido is unique in that he retains all his memories as Fukuda, due to the latter's head injury affecting his brain patterns. Despite this, Anaido still displays a somewhat different personality, acting, as all brilliant detectives do, as a distillation of Fukuda himself.
Compared to Sakaido, Anaido is far less courteous about his work, preferring to just wander and figure things out as he does, disregarding concrete, fixed knowledge and analysis in favour of applying abstract symbolism and his own intuition, making his methods more inductive than deductive. While this theoretically means that Anaido could solve a case much faster than Sakaido or Miyo Hijiriido , his impatience and poor attention makes him far more likely to die, with Kura initially deeming him a failure.
In reality, though, Anaido's high mortality rate is actually due to his arithmomania, which flairs up as a result of his hole closing up. Because of this, combined with his natural intellect, he is compelled to count everything around him to torturous degrees, at one point counting grains of sand. This often results in him deliberately looking for ways to kill himself so he can return to his actual body.
Despite this, Anaido has still proven himself to be exceptionally talented and cunning, successfully hiding the fact that he could retain his memories from the Wellside. He was also able to solve Akihito Narihisago 's id well before Sakaido and the Wellside and figured out the cause behind an id well's time dilation. Many of Fukuda's darker personality traits also carry over, morbidly suggesting that he and Sakaido cannibalise Kaeru's corpse to avoid dehydration, and revealing to Sakadio his identity as Narihisago without hesitation despite potentially dooming the both of them to wander his id well forever.
Interestingly, Anaido has shown a very quirky side, often using eccentric hand gestures and geeking over things like Sakaido's "coolness", generally coming across as more overtly friendly and approachable than Fukuda. However, certain habits still carry over, possibly due to the failed amnesia, such as his referring to Sakaido as "brother", mirroring Fukuda's habit with Narihisago, though Anaido does so more frequently.


ID꞉INVADED

Ayako is an adult woman with shoulder-length purple hair and amber eyes.

Little is known about Ayako's personality, as her only appearance came in Akihito Narihisago 's inaccurate memories, but it seemed that she was a gentle and kind woman.


ID꞉INVADED

Katsuyama was a middle-aged muscular man with short gray hair with a combover and green eyes. He wore a black sweater with a geometric pattern on the lower torso and white marks along the collar and shoulders, and khaki trousers.
Within his id well , Katsuyama appeared as a giant fetus with black sclera and red irises.

Although Katsuyama initially presents himself as an affable, formal person, this simply serves to hide his true nature: a belligerent psychopath. He was characterized by his thirst for combat, taking a disturbing amount of enjoyment in not just the act of hurting others, but in being hurt himself, which eventually led him to attack Kiki Asukai in real life, unable to satisfy his urges in her dreams alone. His conversation with Narihisago suggests he enjoys the thrill of fighting strong opponents, however, he has no problem fighting opponents with no chance of winning such as young girls, suggesting his obsession is related to some form of sadomasochism.
It's implied by Uraido 's observations of his id well that Katsuyama's violent urges are rooted in some kind of trauma he suffered as a child.


ID꞉INVADED

Fukusen is a young man with short, spiky sandy blond hair, though he has a pronounced cowlick at the front. He wears a blue suit with a white shirt and a purple and green stripped tie.


ID꞉INVADED

Momoki is a fairly tall man with grey eyes and short, somewhat spiked dark blue hair with a prominent cowlick. He generally wears a black suit, a grey waistcoat, an off purple shirt, and grey tie.

Firm, yet empathetic, Momoki is a man above all else dedicated to his job as a police officer. Though generally stern in his demeanor, he is by no means unfriendly, effectively managing the Wellside as they gather data from id wells. Far from clinical, Momoki is shown to occasionally indulge in his more base curiosities, continuing to observe Nahoshi Inami 's id well even after the case had already been closed, sensing the underlying emotion and symbolism it held. He also has a tendency to become hyper-focused on specific cases and issues he is more personally invested it, such as the mystery of John Walker and the disappearance of Kiki Asukai , the latter of which he continued to personally investigate even years afterwards.
Above all else, Momoki is driven by his compassion for others, believing that as an officer it is his duty to save people, refusing to kill Asukai or allow her to kill herself, promising that she would be saved one day. He also continued an amicable relationship with Narihisago, a contrast to Kokuryu Matsuoka 's decision to completely shun the disgraced officer, often talking with him after dives and encouraging him to try and better himself.


ID꞉INVADED

Oono is a middle-aged man with short brown hair and brown eyes. He was seen wearing a light brown sweater and a pale brown shirt.

Oono is a highly unstable individual; suffering from a crippling self-loathing, he burned his entire house down with his family still inside in an effort to "start over". However, he is also plagued with paranoia, believing that his former neighbour Kikuchi was aware of his crime, his fear building for years despite her having never seen him in the act.
Oono appears to have an interest in morbid topics, as he replicated the actions of the Gravedigger to murder Kikuchi, therefore concealing his involvement with a more viral criminal. He also shows himself to be exceptionally sadistic, allowing Kikuchi to die of dehydration, then uploading the recording as if it was a live stream, fooling the police into thinking they could actually save her, when in reality she had long since passed away.


ID꞉INVADED

Hakaido is similar to Inami in terms of physical appearance, with slightly shorter, pale pink hair. She wears a white kimono on top of a red bodysuit covering her entire body barring her fingers. She also has multiple red ribbons tied around her body, as well as a red blindfold over the area her eyes would be, which are implied to not even exist at all.
Her "Seer" is similar to Kazuta, bar appearing somewhat younger, being a young man with short, somewhat spiky hair. He wears a long black coat with white stripped shoulders, arms and a collar, as well as a matching hat.


ID꞉INVADED

Kazuta was a young, somewhat tall man with dark cyan eyes and black, spiky hair. He wore a green, brown and blue coat with brown trousers. During his encounter with Fukuda, the latter drilled a hole through the right side of his forehead and out the other side. To hide this while in public, he would wear a dark grey cap.


ID꞉INVADED

Sonoda was a tall, dark-skinned man with brown eyes and a black buzz cut. He wore a black t-shirt underneath a dull red pair of dungarees with yellow buttons and pockets. He was often seen carrying a filer, which he used to remove his victims faces.

Sonoda was indulgent in his crimes, joyful in his actions as he endlessly tortured and killed Kiki Asukai in her dreams, using the fact that they were dreams to absolve himself of any and all guilt, deluding himself into thinking he hadn't done anything wrong. However, as his eventual capture by Kura would prove, his desires were unable to be satisifed with just dreams along, bringing his hobby into the real world eventually. It's releaved by Narihisago that Sonoda often thinks about removing his own face, always stopping out of fear.


ID꞉INVADED

Kaeru's appearance is ripped straight from Asukai when she was fourteen [1] , appearing as a young, thin woman with long, black hair, and green eyes. She wears a plain, long, sleeveless dress. Depending on the id well, her appearance may change based on how she was killed.

Essentially a glorified prop, Kaeru has no defined personality beyond what is projected onto her by others.


ID꞉INVADED

Wakashika is a young man with green eyes and spiky, unkempt sandy brown hair with a bright orange hairband. He wears a black suit with the blazer open with a shirt of a light sand brown colour with the top button undone, as well as a loose black tie, a white belt with a silver buckle and a pair of black shoes.
While attending the funeral of Tsukimaru Nishimura and several others, Wakashika wore a similar suit, but of a darker shade with a black belt, white shirt and a tie of the same shade, with the shirt and tie worn in his usual style.

Compared to his coworkers in the Wellside, Wakashika comes across as more laid-back and extroverted, generally appearing to take things less seriously than everyone else while at the same time enjoying his job more, making playfully snarky quips even in life-threatening situations. At the same time, he also has a tendency to become more emotionally involved in well dives than others, seen cheering for Sakaido and getting angry on behalf of the victims in Tamotsu Fukuda 's id well despite them just being representations. He is also implied to be slightly full-of-himself. [2] [3]
However, same as the other members of the Wellside, Wakashika is still a talented analyst and detective, capable of keeping up with the brilliant detectives in terms of deduction, though Sakaido in particular is known to outpace him, to which he tends to react exasperation.


ID꞉INVADED

Kikuchi is seen wearing her school uniform as a teenager leading up to her death. In Genpei Oono 's id well, she wears a pink sweater and a small red headband rested vertically.

Kikuchi is a kind and gentle girl who also has a fiery determination. In Genpei Oono 's id well, she is calm and willing to trust strangers, as seen with her interactions with Sakaido . In the real world when trapped in a barrel, she is more than happy to prove wrong those who came to see her die. Regardless, her optimism isn't limitless, as she started to have negative thoughts on why no one would rescue her.


ID꞉INVADED

Kiki Asukai is a young, thin woman with long black hair and green eyes.
Prior to her capture, she wore an oversized, pale yellow jumper and a pale blue skirt, and wore a hospital gown while in recovery. After her capture, she wears a white, skin-tight bodysuit, which exposes her shoulders, hips, her hands and part of her feet. The suit is covered with circuitry-eqsue markings, grey highlights and glowing green lights.

Asukai appears to be suicidal, seeking death by either her own hands or someone else's, as she has already given up on living. In Momoki's report, she was described as always quiet and intelligent, as well as being gentle and friendly to others.


ID꞉INVADED

Hondomachi is a petite young woman with short black hair and pink eyes.
She wears a black suit, pencil skirt and tights, a grey blouse and a pink tie; she also wears a flower pin in her hair to keep her bangs in place. When out in the field, she often wears a black backpack.
During FILE: 02 Jigsawed II , Hondomachi receives a hole on right side of her head, mirroring Fukuda's, although it's often covered by her bangs and it's unclear whether or not there is an accompanying exit hole.

Despite her young age and relative inexperience, Hondomachi is a highly driven, highly proactive individual. Though respectful to her superiors, she has little to no issue acting on her own if she feels it's what's right. Appropriately, she is exceptionally confident, rarely showing any doubt or regret over her choices, maintaining composure and even showing defiance when captured by Tamotsu Fukuda . Extremely analytical, she was able to use Akihito Narihisago 's unfinished notes, along with information provided by Fukuda, to deduce John Walker 's identity. She is also quite a curious, inquisitive person, marvelling at the Mizhanome and the nature of id wells.
However, these surface-level traits are just shades of the darker, more unsettling aspects of her personality. Her curiosity can at times veer into morbidity, remaining interested in becoming a brilliant detective even after Matsuoka's warnings and having admitted to finding death interesting. Additionally, her driven proactivity can manifest reckless, almost suicidal ways, attempting to kill herself when captured by Fukuda. After having her head drilled through, her behaviour becomes even more unstable, though it's unclear exactly how much the injury affected her. Most noticeable is during the Gravedigger case when she murdered Haruka Kazuta ; though it was done in self-defence, she's implied to have taken pleasure in his death, with the incident resulting in her being reluctantly recommended as a Mizuhanome pilot by Matsuoka, who had come to fear what Hondomachi could become.


ID꞉INVADED

Matsuoka is a tall, heavily-built middle-aged man with green eyes and short black hair with a white fringe, along with several streaks along the sides, as well as grey glasses and a small scar extending above from his left eyebrow. He wears a black suit, white shirt and dark blue tie. When out in the field, he also wears a beige trenchcoat and a pair of brown gloves.

A veteran police officer, Matsuoka keeps an aloof, stern demeanour, acting fairly straight-laced and humourless when on the job. Valuing seniority, he tends to be fairly hands-on with recruits, not trusting Hondomachi to drive despite her having a license. He holds a strong amount of resentment towards Narihisago, having never particularly liked him, but coming to despise the man after his breakdown and killing of Denshin Katsuyama , this feeling bleeding into his perception of brilliant detectives , believing they are no better than the killers they hunt, and trying to discourage Hondomachi's interest in them.
However, Matsuoka himself is prone to outbursts of emotion, particularly when he gets frustrated. Ultimately, he does care about his fellow field analysts, often feeling that their lives aren't valued in proportion to their work and frequently requesting that they be allowed to carry sidearms. Likewise, he was protective of Hondomachi when she first joined his team, however, after she tried to commit suicide and killed Haruka Kazuta , he became fearful of what she might become, and recommended her as a Mizuhanome pilot for the safety of himself and his team. However, after Hondomachi's exploits during the John Walker case, he came to appreciate her efforts as a brilliant detective, happy that she had found work that suited her.


ID꞉INVADED

Habutae is a young man with somewhat long, spiky black hair and brown eyes. He wears a black suit with a light pink shirt and a darker pink tie.
While attending the funeral of Tsukimaru Nishimura and several others, Habutae wore a similar suit, but of a darker shade with a white shirt and a black tie.

Like his colleagues in the Wellside, Habutae approaches his job with a general focus and seriousness. However, he is shown to take some amount of enjoyment in his job, reacting with amusement when Sakaido wondered if he should arrest Tamotsu Fukuda within an id well. He also appears to be rather self-aware, at one point remarking on the "sci-fi" nature of the Kura, and while not as easily swayed or invested in dives as Kazuo Wakashika , he still has a fair amount of empathy, suggesting altruistic meanings behind Nahoshi Inami 's id well and finding Miyo Hijiriido 's occasional abrasiveness uncomfortable.


ID꞉INVADED

Unlike the other brilliant detectives, Hijiriido is more or less identical to Hondomachi, being a young woman with pink eyes and short black hair.
She wears a khaki, green and red poncho, a matching deerstalker cap with a red bow and brown boots. Underneath she also wears navy blue shorts, a matching vest, yellow gloves and black tights.

As with Sakaido, Hijiriido possesses no memories of her life as Hondomachi while still possessing her base personality, allowing for a more honest examination of her mind.
Like Sakaido, Hijiriido takes her role as the brilliant detective seriously, considering her own survival to be less important than solving the present case. In fact, she is arguably more dedicated to the case than he is, to the point where she doesn't particularly seem to care about anything else, such as saving other people, despite acknowledging the danger they might be in, showing far less sympathy in comparison. She also shows an almost reckless level of curiosity, diving straight into a Mizuhanome cockpit despite not knowing what it was or what it would do to her. This is derived from an overwhelming confidence in herself and her methods.
Hijiriido also inherits Hondomachi's more morbid aspects, though even more extreme. In Fukusen 's id well, she was perfectly willing to dismember Kaeru's body in order to lighten the load, only stopping when she realised she didn't need to.


ID꞉INVADED

Muku Narihisago resembles her mother, Ayako Narihisago . She has dark purple shoulder-length hair and dark blue eyes. While most of her hair is worn down, she has a side ponytail on the left side of her head that is held up by a yellow beaded hair tie. Muku wears a pale pink hoodie with a white garment underneath it (either a tank top or a T-shirt), basketball shorts, and black knee-high stockings.

Little is known about Muku's personality as her only appearance was in Akihito Narihisago 's inaccurate memory.


ID꞉INVADED

Nahoshi has brown shoulder-length dark-brown hair that has bangs swept to the right side and light-brown eyes.
She is seen wearing a pink sweater and a necklace.

Equipment Smith & Wesson 39mm model 9mm :Inami stole this gun from a male police guard's holster, used it to kill him and also shot fukuda in episode 12.


ID꞉INVADED

Shirakoma was a balding middle-aged man with grey eyes, glasses and grey hair with a slight mullet. He wore a white lab and a grey sweater underneath.

Shirakoma appeared to be a generally laid-back individual, showing no signs of panic when Akihito Narihisago and Funetaro Momoki walked in on him testing on Kiki Asukai , and introducing himself with a casual smile when questioned. However, he had no issues aiding Takuhiko Hayaseura in his exploration of Asuaki, despite the damaging effects it had on her.


ID꞉INVADED

Sakaido's appearance is extremely reminiscent of his counterpart Akihito, essentially being a younger version of him, appearing as a young man with green eyes and light pink hair spiked upwards. His clothing consists of a long brown trench coat, a lighter shirt, and a black vest [7] , as well as large, flared black shorts, black leggings, and trainers. Most noticeably, he has a long yellow scarf.
While in Tamostu Fukuda 's id well, his left arm is disassembled, losing his wrist, part of his forearm and his elbow.

The quirks of the Mizuhanome System mean that Sakaido remembers nothing of his life as Akihito every time he enters a new Id Well, essentially leaving him a blank slate each time he wakes up, meaning his personality is more innocent than Narihisago's, lacking the latter's trauma.
Though not immune to panic, Sakaido does show a calm, proactive mindset, quick to calm down and take proper action, shown when he discovered he could move his detached limbs and calmly put himself back together. He also was unfazed by seeing a young girl's corpse and the broken, distorted people of Fukuda's well, showing that he possesses impressive nerves.
Sakaido is also characterised by his extreme deductive mindset, being highly analytical and methodical in his work, perfectly willing to spend time focused on one particular clue, only moving on once satisfied, prioritising the case over his own survival. However, despite this drive, Sakaido is extremely empathetic, often taking into account the people in the case as people rather than just clues, occasionally derailing his investigation entirely to save someone in immediate danger. While in Nahosi Inami 's id well, he cries over Kaeru's body, realising her death had no point and despairing that he couldn't save her.


ID꞉INVADED

Togo is a woman with green eyes and long red hair, loosely tied into a messy bun at the back with two dark turquoise barrettes. She also has a small mole underneath her left eye. She wears a grey suit with a dark blue shirt underneath, with the top few buttons undone.
While attending the funeral of Tsukimaru Nishimura and several others, Togo wore a black suit and a black undershirt, as well as a white pearl necklace and a white pin on her left lapel. Her barrettes were also swapped out with black ones.

A generally phlegmatic, soft-spoken woman, Togo approaches her job with a serious, focused disposition performing her duties with a calm, at times almost stoic manner, at one point telling Kazuo Wakashika off for cheering on Sakaido . This calm attitude has proven to keep up under pressure; when trapped inside an id well, she didn't panic, instead quickly figuring out how to survive and relaying the information to her team in a safe way, fitting her occupation as assistant director.
However, she is prone to subtle displays of emotion every now and then, usually in the form of small, occasional smiles when amused or around certain people. She is noticeably the only person to refer to Koharu Hondomachi by her first name, suggesting she has a soft spot for her.


ID꞉INVADED

Shiratake is a fairly tall man with grey eyes, matching glasses and long black hair pulled into a ponytail, with the exception of two cowlicks hanging over his large forehead. He wears a black suit with a matching waistcoat, a light blue shirt and a darker blue tie.
While attending the funeral of Tsukimaru Nishimura and several others, Shiratake wore a similar suit and waist coat, but of a darker shade with a white shirt and a black tie.


ID꞉INVADED

Kokufu is a somewhat short young man with short gray hair and violet eyes. He wears a black suit with a dark gray shirt and a lighter gray tie. He often wears a black earpiece, and is shown to carry a handgun on him. [2]
While attending the funeral of Tsukimaru Nishimura and several others, Kokufu wore a similar suit, but black with a white shirt and a black tie.

A reliably efficient individual, Kokufu performs his duties with a consistent focus, and was considered trustworthy enough to be picked as Hayaseura's replacement, despite his relatively low prior position. As chief, he displays effective organisational skills and the ability to react to and plan for unpredictable situations, occasionally coming across as cold in his delivery of orders. As former member of the Wellside, he is naturally analytical, a skill he hasn't lost despite leaving the group, as seen when he effortlessly slots back into the environment when needed.
However, Kokufu often displays nervous mannerisms, such as fixing his tie or sweating, suggesting he stresses easily. Indeed, when personally confronted with surprising or dangerous situations, he tends to react the strongest, screaming in terror when stuck in an id well and acting the most caught off-guard when Togo admits to a relationship with Funetaro Momoki .


ID꞉INVADED

Hayaseura was an elderly man with white hair pulled into two ponytails and a full beard. He wore a brown suit, a lighter waistcoat, a white shirt and a yellow tie. Though he was usually drawn with his eyes closed, they are revealed to be red in FILE: 11 Stormed .
As "John Walker", he was seen wearing a red double-breasted jacket with tailcoats, a white shirt and black bowtie, white trousers and a pair of brown boots. He also wore a pair of brown gloves and a brown top hat with a dark pink ribbon tied around it. In addition, he carried with him a brown cane with a gold top. Whenever he was seen within an id well, his face was always obscured with a mass of red pixels, though his eyes could still be made out somewhat.

Hayaseura generally presented himself with a formal, easy disposition, leading the Kura with a loose, yet firm grip. He was open to suggestions from his subordinates, taking on Kokuryu Matsuoka 's suggestion to make Koharu Hondomachi a brilliant detective, but was still ready to give orders and expected his authority to be recognized, allowing his subordinates to express their grievances, but defending his decisions nonetheless, overall maintaining a very approachable air.
At his heart, Hayaseura was dedicated to the law, founding the Kura in order to capture serial killers and bring them to justice. However, his drive to do so was so great that it drove him to create numerous serial killers in order to establish the organisation. Although he acknowledged the extremity of his methods, even killing himself as a supposed form of atonement, he believed the success of Kura would eventually justify his crimes.
However, through the investigations of Hondomachi and Akihito Narihisago , it is revealed that Hayaseura's thought process was dominated by his god complex, seeing himself as a grand overseer manipulating everyone else beneath him as part of his plan. This is exemplified by his obsession with the number seven, seeing it as a divine number due to its religious and cultural significance, and deliberately organised his plan around that number. Hayaseura himself however, appeared to subconsciously suppress this part of himself in favor of genuinely believing that there was a true sense of duty and justice behind his actions, deceiving even himself to the very end.


ID꞉INVADED

Fukuda is a tall man with chartreuse eyes and long, spiked blue hair combed towards his left. He wore a white shirt, black trousers and matching suspenders, and had multiple silver piercings: three on his left ear, two below his mouth and two above his left eyebrow. When out in public, he wore a green coat with a hood. Since his capture, he has worn a Kura prisoner uniform, consisting of white trousers, a matching shirt, slippers and bracelet on his right wrist.
By far Fukuda's most noticeable feature is the massive scar covering most of the right side of his head, the result of a large portion of his skin being torn off by his drill. [4] Above his right eye is a self-applied hole that goes all the way through his head. He also has several silver piercings above his left eye, on his left ear, and underneath his lip, all of which he seemingly got after his suicide attempt.

Fukuda is somewhat of an outlier compared to other serial killers, his drive to kill rooted in a misplaced form of altruism. After inadvertently curing his arithmomania by drilling a hole in his head, he felt compelled to inflict the same injuries onto others, hoping to share his newfound "enlightenment", despite acknowledging the low survival rate. However, this means that he was the only killer to decline John Walker 's offer to kill Kiki Asukai , since he, uniquely, didn't kill for the sole sake of killing, and genuinely believed he was helping people, thus having no interest in "dream holes".
He also willingly cooperates with Kura as a brilliant detective, playing a key role in unmasking John Walker's identity by providing Koharu Hondomachi with valuable information and providing an alternate viewpoint that ultimately proved instrumental. He also saved her from Nahoshi Inami at the cost of falling into a coma, having come to develop a warm relationship with her. However, he still has no issue killing people for his own sake, leaving Yuji Oonuki to be shot in his place and killing two paramedics during his initial escape from the Kura.
Despite his brain damage, Fukuda has shown himself to be an exceptionally composed individual, often presenting himself with an affable, almost casual persona, and is extremely intelligent, even after his suicide attempt, so much so that he was made a brilliant detective after he successfully figured out the nature of the Mizuhanome System by himself, and was both smart and convincing enough to hide the fact that he could retain his memories as Anaido from the Wellside. It's also implied that he was extremely well-read.
As a side effect of his former arithmomania, Fukuda possesses an exceptional memory, at least of events prior to his suicide attempt, able to recall an event's precise date and time. He himself noted however, that his affinity with numbers dropped dramatically after his failed suicide, as intended.
Certain elements of Fukuda's id well and personality, including having all his victims living as a family and calling Akihito Narihisago with familial terms such as "brother" (behaviour mirrored by Anaido), imply that Fukuda, for much of his life, was an exceptionally lonely individual, meaning that his crimes could have been the result of a desire for companionship.

Nishimura was a tall young man with short brown hair and grey eyes. He wore a black suit, white shirt and cyan tie.

Nishimura was a fairly amicable man, coming across as friendly and approachable. However, this casual demeanour could sometimes come across as smug or condescending to others, especially those outside the Kura, though this evidently wasn't the case, continuing to be good-natured with them afterwards. When conducting his work however, he was focused and efficient, up until the very end.


ID꞉INVADED

Uraido appears as a younger version of Hayaseura, being an older man with red eyes, a white moustache and matching hair pulled into a ponytail. He wears Hayaseura's "John Walker" disguise, consisting of a red double-breasted jacket with tailcoats, a white shirt and a large black bowtie, white trousers and a pair of brown boots. He also wears a pair of brown gloves and a brown top hat with a dark pink ribbon tied around it. In addition, he carries with him a brown cane with a gold top.

Uraido, like the other brilliant detectives, can be seen as a distillation of Hayaseura's personality; he is thus a pure, honest reflection of the darker aspects Hayaseura hid, shown when he burst out laughing at his realisation that he had killed Kaeru . Filled with a morbid curiosity, he intended to roam his own id well forever, marveling at the id wells of countless serial killers he found within.
Despite his Machiavellian traits, he still believes his actions to be rooted in his own form of justice, making him as legitimate a brilliant detective as the others. He also subscribes to a form of moral relativism, believe that what people call justice changes depending on what criteria they use, claiming that there would be others in the real world who would share his beliefs. However, all of this was likely window-dressing for his God-complex, which, as with Hayaseura, dominant Uraido's actions even on a subconscious level.


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Airis is a short petite girl with long pale blond hair which has ping-light purple shade and pink eyes. She wears a small red and gold tiara on the left side of her head. She wears a modified version on the IS Academy uniform, which has small angel wings on the back, a pink sash ove right shoulder and knee-lengh light blue frills skirt. She also wears white stockings and red high heels. Her IS suit is purely white. She also has a wide range of high-class dresses.
Her IS standby form takes a shape of royal tiara worn at left side of her head.

Airis has a proud and generally forward personality, befitting that of a princess. She acts like a very spoiled brat, having made Ichika her attendant as soon as she met him without giving him any right to refuse and kept ordering him around without any care about him. After formally enrolling at IS Academy and getting defeated by Lingyin and Houki, Airis resolved to be less spoiled. She also wishes to win Ichika's heart honorably, choosing to help her rivals save one instead of using it as a chance to get ahead.
Following this, Airis became a little more shyer, acting a little more her age. However, she's still very bold at times as well, even standing up to Chifuyu in Ichika's defense and asking Ichika if she could sleep in the same bed as him. However, she was completely embarrassed by what she did the next morning, showing how innocent she still is. She even believed because they slept together and Chifuyu gave her "approval", they were in a relationship.


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Alicia is a tall, curvaceous woman in her late twenties with long red hair. She wears a handguard of a katana over her missing right eye and is lacking a right arm as well. She lost both of these in an accident when she was testing Tempesta II. Her IS, Tempesta, replaces both of them with machine parts when she deploys it. She wears a revealing kimono and wide high heels.

Given her status, Alicia is a very casual and carefree woman, even in serious situations, such as clinging close to Ichika while meeting all the personal pilots from the IS Academy and Chifuyu and being unfazed. Befitting her former position as an IS Representative Cadet, Alicia is highly confident in her abilities and is not one to back down in the face of a challenge.
Alicia is also very competitive and honorable, as she refused to be called the winner of the second Mondo Grosso because she didn't get to fight Chifuyu Orimura in the finals (due to the latter forfeiting to save her younger brother). To get her rematch with Chifuyu, she was willing to join Phantom Task. However, she made it clear to Squall that she wouldn't accept any mission that didn't involve Chifuyu.


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Autumm is young woman with long orange hair and red-brawn eyes.

Autumn is a rash, hot-headed, arrogant and sadistic woman. However, she is at least capable of restraining herself when she is ordered to by Squall. She can even put on an act as a professional saleswoman when she first approaches Ichika, to which shows her manipulation and acting skills. She is also rather overconfident in her abilities which many times proven to be her downfall.
Around her lover Squall, Autumn shows a different side to her, displaying a softer side to her normally aggressive behavior. She generally loves Squall and cares about her safety.


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Cecilia is a young charming teen girl with light blue eyes and long, light blonde hair that forms drill-like curls (sigh of nobility) at the ends, along with a royal blue headband that holds her hair up. She is noted to be beautiful and has a slender, voluptuous figure, possessing a large bust, a narrow waist, and a curvaceous butt. Her IS Academy uniform is slightly modified as it has a longer skirt instead of a short one, and there are black frills at the end of the skirt and sleeves and wearing dark tights. For her IS practice and battles, she wears a blue version of her training uniform. Her IS in standby mode takes the form of ear accessories.
Ichika has often compared Cecilia's beautiful face, long, slender limbs, well-proportioned figure, and her usually hand-on-hip pose to those of a model; something she has actually worked as in the past. Aside from the academy uniform, Cecilia usually wears high-class dresses, as casual wear.

Being from a high-class family, Cecilia is depicted, almost stereotyped, as an arrogant person, due to the fact that she is a representative of another country and royal. Being a snob from a noble family, she seems to think her country is far superior to other countries, and because of that, Ichika challenges her to a duel.
However, behind Cecilia's confident exterior lies a disturbed soul. Due to her father being a very insignificant person who had no role inside or outside the family, she desires to marry someone who is strong. Furthermore, being the sole heir of the family fortune after her parents died in a train accident, she was forced to protect it from those who wanted to steal it.

After fighting with Ichika, she starts showing an interest in him (being the only man who did not back down from her challenge) and affectionately calls him "Ichika-san" ( 一 夏 さん ? . English: "Ichika Dear"), which confuses him and annoys Houki when she started doing it. She tries to find ways to be alone with him (often using the excuse that, as a gentleman, Ichika must keep his promises or perform duties of the sort), only to be thwarted by either Houki or her classmates, who once told her comically that they would not let her get ahead in getting his attention. She doesn't mind putting aside her usually arrogant attitude in order to get Ichika to help her do things she knows she could do herself or wouldn't have needed him to do as an opportunity to flirt with him, something the others are quick to point out and get jealous over.
She apparently has certain delusions of being alone with Ichika and tends to make "preparations" in the event that they may happen. Usually, she imagines him saying he loves her before boldly wishing to do perverted acts with her body. While she does feel embarrassed when thinks about them, she doesn't see herself resisting or saying no to him if he were to make any moves on her. These usual lead her to make bold suggestions when Ichika does anything in regard to her body, such as when he rubbed suntan oil on her back or gave her a massage, she asked him to do it on her butt both times. She sometimes would wear bold or erotic clothing that other girls would tease her for wearing (including Kiyoka Aikawa , Yuzu Tanimoto , Honne Nohotoke , Chifuyu Orimura , and her maid, Chelsea Blackett ). In Volume 6, when Cecilia won a massage from Ichika, she thought about either wearing the sexy black lace lingerie she brought before or even not wearing any underwear at all for it, although she didn't do either. In addition, during the massage, she asks if she should undress the lower part to make it easier to massage, something Ichika compares her to Tatenashi for saying. It's been shown that she sometimes has lewd dreams of Ichika [2] [3] .

She has also shown "yandere" tendencies with Lingyin , which was seen in episode 9 , while they were stalking Ichika where he was out shopping with Charlotte , and in episode 12 , where she almost succeeded in shooting Ichika point-blank in the head with one of her optical drones when he was about to kiss Houki, as well as maybe causing a "flesh wound" as payback against Ichika. At the end of Volume 2, when Laura kisses Ichika , Cecilia attempts to snipe Ichika when he is trying to escape along with other girls.


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Being sent as a spy by her father, her first appearance is that of a male with long, straight, and messy blonde hair that is tied into a low ponytail. She has purple eyes and wears the same IS Academy uniform as Ichika . While Charlotte has been described as being a cute girl, she has also been noted to look good even in guy clothes, much to her own dismay.
In episode 8 , when she decided to re-introduce herself to the class as " Charlotte " Dunois, she wears the slightly modified IS Academy female uniform with a skirt which is a bit shorter than normal, and red-and-white sneakers on her bare feet. The IS Training uniform she wears also changes into the female version, with orange edges, and it has changed from a two-piece to a one-piece suit with stockings that cut off at the feet. In volume 3, she received a silver bracelet from Ichika and started wearing it on her right wrist. Her IS in standby mode takes the form of an orange pendant.
Like Houki Shinonono and Cecilia Alcott , she is well-endowed, but she has a smaller bust than them yet still bigger than Rin and Kanzashi.

Even if her true purpose at the academy was to spy on Ichika, discover how he is able to pilot an IS, and acquire data from his IS, Charlotte has shown to be a very calm, friendly and kind-hearted girl, always maintaining a polite demeanor towards everybody, unlike the haughty Cecilia , the cranky Houki , the aggressive Lingyin , the ruthless Laura , the flirty Tatenashi , and the timid Kanzashi . She has an inherent dislike of lying to anyone, as she mentions that she is relieved that she was able to tell Ichika the truth after he discovered her true identity, and even apologizes for having to lie to him all the time. Most notably, she acts the most nicely to Ichika out of girls which loves him aside Tatenashi.
Charlotte is one of two girls that does not have a 'Tsundere' attribute: the other being Laura , after their fight in the tournament. It is also noted that unlike the other girls, who primarily focus upon making Ichika fall in love with them, Charlotte instead prioritizes making Ichika happy. Due to this, Ichika views her as the kindest girl among the five, even going as far as describing her smile as 'the smile of an Angel/Goddess'. The only two problems are that Charlotte, even when angry, tends to keep this facial expression (with the addition of the usual protruding blood vein mark), which he refers to as 'The smile from the Angel of Death'; and this, ironically, makes her the scariest girl to anger.
Though as a whole, she still has some form of romantic interest in Ichika because she stated that she felt like she was wanted by someone for the very first time. While she is not one to flirt in order to gain Ichika's attention, unlike everyone else, she has had him hold her hand, hugged him from behind in the Boys' Grand Public Bath while making skin contact (which embarrasses Ichika), and tried to have him kiss her while she tried to feed him a cookie she placed in her mouth. She can also show jealousy at times, as she was among the girls who attacked Ichika with there IS when he was about to kiss Houki. In later volumes, Charlotte has grown increasingly bold in trying to get closer to Ichika, including trying to sneak into his room when the 1st years went to Kyoto.
Charlotte had a very close relationship with her late mother and has many fond memories of her. Chief among these are all the times they went shopping in the market together, which she is reminded of when the group go shopping during summer break. By contrast, her relationship with her living father is incredibly distant, to the point that they have only met in person twice and have talked for less than an hour. This is most likely the reason why she didn't hesitate to abandon her mission once Ichika discovered her true identity.
While Charlotte has been shown to be quite mature, she doesn't mind being girly or childish, such as getting Laura and herself cat pajamas and even teasing her with them (although she became very embarrassed when Ichika saw her in them the first time). She can also be very impulsive, usually creating very awkward and embarrassing situations for her and Ichika, only realizing what she's doing (or has done) when it is too late, such as when she brought him into a changing room to hide him from the other girls, only to start changing her clothes anyway.
While Charlotte will quickly call Ichika a pervert for minor reason and simple accidents, she has a bad habit of causing them between her and Ichika. Well, she tried to prevent herself and Ichika from changing in the same room when she was pretending to be a boy, she would start trying to change in the same room as him after he learned she was a girl (this also reversed Ichika's position of trying to change in the same room to wanting to avoid changing in the same room). She even almost told him she's fine if he wanted to stay as she changed her clothes. During the World Purge incident, Charlotte's ideal Ichika would be very perverted with her. Even though she was embarrassed by 'his' actions and requests, she still did them anyway.


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Chelsea is a slender young woman with dark red-brown hair and matching eyes. She dresses in typical maid fashion but with a wide leather belt loosely wrapped around her waist. She is described by Ichika as a very beautiful girl for her age (which makes Cecilia jealous).

Chelsea is a loyal maid who respects her mistress, Cecilia Alcott. However, in the novel, she is shown to have a more teasing personality and that she likes to poke fun at matters that are embarrassing to Cecilia, most of which relate to Ichika. This, combined with her sharp mind, makes Cecilia a very effective victim of her mischief.
For Chelsea, her highest priority has always been her country and her sister, Exia. For them, she was willing to steal the Third Blue Tear unit and join Phantom Task in order to save Exia when she discovered she was being used as the core for Excalibur . However, she still maintained her sense of responsibility and loyalty towards Cecilia, declaring she would accept any punishment that was chosen for her afterwards.
She seems to also have a slight flirtatious streak in her, as seen during her conversation with Ichika.


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Chifuyu is a beautiful adult woman in her mid-20s with long black hair that is split into parts in front in a similar manner to Ichika 's hairstyle and brown eyes. She is shown to be quite tall, but shorter than Ichika. She normally keeps her hair tied down in a waist-long low ponytail but will wear it in a high ponytail when she's about to fight. She has stoic, serious expressions most of the time.
Chifuyu is also said to possess a good fashion sense and the way she carries herself is seen as being regal, like a high-born lady. Her normal IS teaching outfit consists of a formal white shirt, with a black business overcoat and matching skirt, green tie, black stockings and mary jane shoes. For IS Training, she changes into a white jogging suit. Outside of work, Chifuyu wears more casual outfits, such as jeans and a tank top. During her fight with the Unknown squad Leader , Chifuyu wore a black full bodysuit.
In the light novel and reboot manga, other characters have often said that Chifuyu has a very good figure, having a trained yet voluptuous body without any trace of fat on her and large breasts, while not being too muscular. She is often compared to a model by her "worshipers" on a regular basis. Even Ichika tends to get a little embarrassed when he sees her in clothing that accentuates her figure, such as the black bikini she wore to the beach.

Chifuyu is seen to be a very stern and strict woman, even to her own family, as seen when she tells Ichika to call her Orimura- sensei instead of his more familiar Chifuyu- nee ('Big Sis Chifuyu'). She is also very prideful and stoic, having cared for Ichika since they were young, and therefore is forced to essentially be a parent to him. Also, being a very skilled IS instructor, Chifuyu has stated that what makes her strong is her little brother Ichika, for it is he who gives her strength. She has a following of many girls who admire her, being the first Mondo Grosso champion, and call her things like Onee-sama (very respectful 'Big Sister') as well as hang onto her every word. Chifuyu thinks how amazing that it seems "all of the idiots have come to her class" (referring to her students). In one way or another, Chifuyu often gets particularly annoyed whenever the girls start making disturbances inside the school, especially if such cases involve Ichika. Despite this, she still cares about all her students more than almost anything in the world, with only her younger brother being more important to her.
However, as a teacher, she is simply put mercilessly. Handing out chops, slaps, and even genuine punches to her own students for even the slightest of offenses. She is also very unreasonable, as despite being the one who made Ichika go to the academy and knowing fully well, he had no way or reason to learn about the IS before, she refuses to give him any slack as a teacher. Chifuyu is also very prideful, stubborn, and has a problem with showing her emotions or praising others, especially Ichika. This causes Maya to often tease her about to which Chifuyu treats her by sparing with her as a punishment. She also thinks highly of herself as a woman, saying she could have gotten married already if she didn't have to look after Ichika (which is ironic as others note they look more like a married couple than siblings). During the seaside trip, she proudly wore a revealing black bikini that showed off her figure without any signs of embarrassment.
Despite her strictness, it seems she also has a far more casual side, that of a normal woman who enjoys drinking alcohol (which apparently even Laura Bodewig does not know of, despite having trained under her for a full year) and messing with her juniors from time to time. She acts very differently at home, being extremely casual and relaxed, which is why Ichika was caught off guard so much on the first day at school. She doesn't do much housework, leaving Ichika to tend to things. She also does like to tease others on occasion, especially Ichika, who is very susceptible to her. When she starts drinking, she tends to loosen up a lot. She also becomes more teasing towards those who happen to be around her in her drunken state, even joking about their body in ways she normally wouldn't [1] .
Chifuyu when she loosens up
She is also very protective of Ichika, as he's the only family she ever had, and considers him to be vitally important to her [2] . She was the one to enroll him into the IS Academy almost immediately after it was confirmed that he had the ability to pilot the female exclusive IS units. Some of the characters noted that her closeness with him seems a little suggestive, which only serves to incur a bit of her wrath when they tease her about it. She is also unable to admit and express her affection to Ichika due to her personality and pride. Although, in rare cases show hints before instantly turning to her usual behavior. Tatenashi said the reason why Chifuyu is so strict with Ichika is because she's afraid to lose him. However, there are times when she doesn't bother to help her younger brother at the academy, thus she will step in when they're about to go too far.
More so, the girls note the interaction between her and Ichika during certain situations, such as when Ichika blushed profusely after seeing his own sister in a rather revealing black two-piece swimsuit (which he himself chose in the novel and reboot manga). However, this could simply be because he was embarrassed to see her dressed in such a sexy swimsuit, thus he did think it looks great on her [3] . There was also their initial impression of the massage incident, but that was just the girls jumping to conclusions. Through this, Chifuyu is highly aware that all the first-year personal IS pilots and Tatenashi are in love with Ichika. While she's usually annoyed by the girls fighting over her younger brother (especially the fuss and damage they do time from the time), she's willing to let them spend time with him, something they're grateful for when she's willing to leave them alone with him [4] . However, Chifuyu also enjoys knowing that Ichika still treats her better than any of them and can be a bit smug when he displays it [5] .

Chifuyu showing her confidence while facing an IS without one.

In battle, Chifuyu is very levelheaded and confident, as she would smile and mock her opponent, similar to her younger sister, Madoka. This confidence seems to come from her former title as the world's strongest and the fact that she's an enhanced human. She didn't even show any worry or fear about facing an IS without one [6] . In addition, she deeply regrets that she had to allow the personal IS students to fight in real battles, accepting that it was an unforgivable action for a teacher and adult [7] . Despite this sense of guilt, she would still send out her students on missions instead of heading out herself due to her IS being currently unusable. This led Tabane to believe she needed to lose one of her students during an incident to get her back out in the field, acknowledging it as her own fault for not doing so sooner [8] .
When alone with Ichika, Chifuyu doesn't mind acting very flirtatiously toward her brother.

While Chifuyu is tough most of the time, she will give others moral support. She often encourages those like Laura and the Unknown Squad Leader to find meaning in life outside of their military duty. This probably comes from how she chose to abandon the life she originally had as a test subject in order to save Ichika. She likewise gave up her title as the "Brunhilde" to save him when he was captured, putting family over duty.
Chifuyu has always been very secretive, both on a personal level and professional level. She doesn't like being asked questions about her life or history. She has rarely (if ever) told Ichika anything about what she's been doing. Even when he asks her questions, she avoided them and quickly dropped the subject before he could press for answers or simply ignored him. Her tendency of keeping quiet about what she knows even goes above her sense of duty, as despite knowing Tabane Shionono was behind several incidents that have put her students and younger brother in danger, she always pretends she didn't know in front of others. Afterwards, she would have the entire incident kept top secret.


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Similar to Laura, Chloe has fair skin and heterochromatic eyes where her left eye is black, and her right eye is golden (like Laura's yellow left eye). She looks very similar to Laura; in fact, Ichika mistook her for Laura when he first met her due to her long silver hair. In contrast with Laura, Chloe is taller and dressed in clothing that resembles an elegant queen outfit.
Her main attire is a white long-sleeved queen blouse over a white frilly sailor uniform with a blue ascot-like ribbon, blue mantle-like waist corset, blue knee-length skirt with ruffled ends, her white frilly socks and black mary jane shoes.

Chloe is a very caring person to her sister Laura Bodewig and to her colleague Tabane Shinonono.


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Clarissa has blue hair cut into an angled bob, blue eyes, and a slender body. She wears a beret and black office clothing, with her skirt split in the center to show her legs, and an eyepatch covering her left eye like Laura.

Clarissa is an avid fan of Japanese Shojo manga , where the frequent love propose would involve a prince charming telling the princess (or heroine) "I'll take you as my bride".


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Family and O'Neil are twins that have the common trait of styling their hair in one-sided ponytails where the rest are extinguished. Fanile is defined by her orange hair tied to the left side while O'Neil's is defined by her aqua hair tied to the right.

Fanile is a more preservative character to have things kept as is. She is very cautious, especially towards Ichika, whom the airheaded O'Neil tends to act like a spoiled child with a cheerful and innocent smile.


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Currier appears as an eccentric, normal child-like woman carrying a teddy bear, called “Puu-chan”, and looking up to her imaginary friend, named "Ruu-chan". She wears a modified IS female uniform with a longer skirt and is barefoot.

IS (Infinite Stratos)

Dan is a young teen with a medium build similar height to Ichika. Like his sister, he has long scarlet hair that is tied in a dark bandanna and brown eyes.

Dan is a very laid-back person who enjoys playing video games, and he thinks Ichika's entry into IS Academy is a paradise for him, being surrounded by all the girls there (in the light novel, Ichika mentioned that Dan wanted to switch with him). However, he seems oblivious to what occurs at IS Academy.
Dan is also sharp when it comes to Ichika and the general effect he has on girls, saying that he is extremely dense when knowing about their feelings. He even sympathizes with Lingyin Huang for Ichika not knowing her feelings.


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Djbril is a tall, young woman with waist-long, straight light pink hair that is braided on the left side of her head. She has a slender, voluptuous figure with large breasts. Her usual outfit is a pantsuit with baggy pants, knight armor, and a cape over her right arm with the Luxembourg Royal family crest.

Djbril is a very strict and dutiful knight, displaying utter loyalty towards the royal family of Luxemburg and its members. She is very serious when it comes to the Royal family and can be very harsh on those who fail them in any way, such as wanting to punish Ichika for almost letting Airis get kidnapped, even though he still managed to save her. She is also very stubborn.
Djbril is very inexperienced when it comes to dating and romance. In fact, she's never even held hands with a man. However, she can't bring herself to admit this to Airis, who turned to her for advice on the subject, out of her embarrassment and pride.


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Forte is a petite young woman with dark blue hair that is tied in a long braid dropped over her left shoulder. She previously wore the IS Academy uniform, dark pantyhose, and red shoes before her discovery as a Phantom Task agent.

Forte is a laid-back person who looks like an "I do what I want" type of person. She has a great deal of confidence in her and Daryl's teamwork, especially their invincible wall, Aegis. Compared to Daryl, Forte is more emotional, having cried when her lover revealed she was a member of Phantom Task and was embarrassed to kiss her lover in front of someone else.


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Griffin is a charming young girl with neo-blue hair, matching eyes, and tanned skin. She wears a normal school uniform with black thigh-length socks and differently colored shoes.

Griffin acts like a big-sister figure who likes children, and she even teaches them soccer in her time off.


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Hikaruno is a pretty woman in her mid-twenties with curly turquoise-colored hair in short twintails, large blue eyes, and a voluptuous figure. She is mostly seen wearing a navy blue IS suit complete with matching stockings and a lab coat with swimming goggles on her head. Her IS suit has a name tag on her chest. She also wears ping cat slippers in her laboratory.

Hikaruno is an eccentric and high-spirited woman, similar to Tabane Shinonono. She has been described by Ichika Orimura and another worker as a pervert, something she proved when she gleefully gropes the former's butt just for the fun of it without any shame. She would do this again whenever she happened to come across him. She had openly flirted with him and invited him to her room with clear sexual intention, despite the age differences between them. Her behavior causes those around her to find her exhausting.
Hikaruno admitted that she enjoys readjusting picky IS and collecting new data from IS. She especially enjoys making IS use weapons they don't 'like'. She can be very technical when explaining things, as she only described herself as a former classmate of Chifuyu Orimura and not a friend of hers.


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Honne is a short, charming young girl with a cute face, sleepy yellow eyes, and pinkish shoulder-length hair, most of which hangs free, the exception being two small pigtails on either side of her head held in place by yellow fox-themed hair ties. Her appearance is usually marked by her modified IS uniform with long sleeves that obscure her hands, a longer skirt that reaches above her calves, short black sweeping socks, and baggy clothes that she wears when not in her uniform. However, her long sleeves are not always present as her yellow skin-tight suit used during IS exercises which lacks sleeves. Underneath her baggy clothes, Honne has an unexpectedly curvaceous and well-endowed figure, having bigger breasts than even Houki and the body of a fashion model.

Honne is presented as a cute, childish, happy, free-spirited, and enthusiastic girl. She loves eating snacks and other sweet things like cakes. She is an airhead and very forward, always saying what she means. However, Honne can show flashes of seriousness once in a while, which surprise even the Sarashiki sisters who have known her since childhood. She is also highly sensitive to the feelings of others.


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Houki is a beautiful teenage girl of average height yet taller shape with long dark brown hair that she keeps in a slightly messy ponytail (that seems to be divided into two sections in the middle to the end) with a green and black ribbon, dark blue eyes and a slim, curvaceous body, and large breasts.
She usually wears her IS Academy uniform modified with white stockings and black knee-high boots that have white soles. After the battle with the Silver Gospel , she replaces her green ribbon with a red-black-and-white ribbon that Ichika bought her for her birthday.
Her initial IS training uniform matched the standard ones worn by all other female students, but after gaining Akatsubaki , she changed into one (a uniform) that is predominantly white with a black neckline and black edges on the legs. Her IS standby mode has a form of white and gold bells on her wrist

Having been raised in a shrine/dojo, Houki possesses a stern, disciplined and stoic personality. As such, she had a hard time socializing with other people, so she had virtually no friends, with the exception of Ichika. Ichika thought of Houki as a cute girl, and he helped her out by chasing the bullies away whenever they mocked her. Even as a child, Houki had trouble expressing her feelings for Ichika and shortly after they first met, she asked him to use her first name, but then she justified it by saying that there were three other Shinononos (her father, her mother, and her sister). Since her place of residence is a kendo dojo, Houki had been interested in kendo ever since she was young. After being forced to move away from Ichika, Houki continued practicing kendo, as it was the only connection she had left with him.
However, as a result of this separation, Houki has a serious emotional problem. Although she has been training in kendo, which emphasizes obtaining self-control as with most other forms of martial arts, she mainly uses it as a way to let out her frustration, making her very brutal towards her opponents. She is strongly emotionally unstable, often resorting to violence first, and is prone to jumping to conclusions without taking the time to understand the situation. This also made her needlessly aggressive and hostile to almost everyone around her at the start of the series, even not showing some of the staff at the IS Academy proper respect. Whenever Houki gains a new power, it doesn't take long for it to go to her head, causing her to do and say things that she would later regret. Possibly stemming from this, Houki feels 'might makes right' and has believed that winning is the answer to her problems. She always seems to convince herself that if she wins, everything will work out for her.
Ichika says that Houki is very vile at times. This is because she's too prideful and stubborn to agree with others or admit her mistakes whenever she's wrong. Ichika even notes that this is what leads her to make mistakes as a result. She usually wants to be punished for her mistakes and feels worse when she isn't. Ichika was quick to forgive her, but she did accept his kindness because she thought that she shouldn't be forgiven that easily, and often feels that she doesn't deserve someone as kind as him. She does want to change these tendencies, but still hasn't managed to make any changes regardless. Houki also has a habit of constantly frowning, as noted by Ichika. She can be very hypocritical, such as not wanting people to ask her about Tabane Shinonono because she's her sister, but taking advantage of the fact that she is in order to gain her own personal IS and get ahead in life. Even after this, she still tries to keep her distance from Tabane. However, Houki can be cheered up when Ichika compliments her.
Despite her rather gruff attitude, Houki is actually a kind girl. Although she initially acts strict and cold towards Ichika upon their reunion to the point of not allowing him to use her first name, as well as have a tendency to act quite mean to him most of the time, it's largely because she has trouble with her emotions, and she soon drops the façade and treats him much nicer, though she still isn't above disciplining him when he makes her really angry or is about to do something stupid. She's also shown to get along well with Charlotte , Laura , Kanzashi , Tatenashi , Rin , and Cecilia , considering them friends, despite their rivalry for Ichika's affection and often watching their backs in combat. She has also started getting along with other girls her age.

Houki's wild mood swings

Houki has very little confidence in her looks and in being feminine, likely a result of being bullied in her past for being a tomboy. She always feels uncomfortable when she has to wear revealing and/or feminine clothes like dresses or bikinis (a fact that she's well aware of). She also becomes quite shy when Ichika looks at her or compliments her. She also likes seeing Ichika in suits, to the point that in one instance, she finds it troublesome just trying to look at him directly. Notably, when the girls end up in fantasies about their ideal future with Ichika, caused by the program "World Purge", Houki is shown viewing him as an equal, in contrast to the superficial image the other girls have of him.
Houki has some complex thoughts when it comes to using sex appeal to get Ichika's attention. She usually gets angry when she sees any of the other girls trying to get too physically close to Ichika, calling it indecent. Sometimes, however, Houki has considered the idea of using her body to attract Ichika, even thinking that Ichika might be attracted to her large bust. However, she still gets easily nervous about actually doing so, such as buying a revealing bikini to attract Ichika at the beach, but was too embarrassed to show herself wearing it to him until the last day. [1] Over time, she has become a more used to it. She has likewise become more comfortable with holding hands and locking arms with him.
After seeing Ichika hugging Cecilia during the latter's birthday party, Houki started growing increasingly insecure about her relationship with Ichika. She became bothered whenever she saw Ichika being nice to any of the other girls, even through she understood there wasn't special meaning behind his actions and it was him being his usually considering self. This caused Akatsubaki to awaken in order to fulfill her wish of making Ichika hers by taking control of her body and attacking her friends.
At the end of the Akatsubaki Incident, Houki remembered how it was her fault that Chifuyu retired as an IS pilot, and became overwhelmed with the guilt of what she had done because of her immaturity and weakness. However, thanks to Ichika's words, she resolved to finally face her problems instead of running away from them. Because of this, Houki wasn't bothered by the fact that she was once again an average student without a personal IS.


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Ichika is a young man of average height with short black hair that is parted in the middle, dark brown eyes, and a slim trained body. He commonly wears his IS Academy uniform. For IS practice, he wears a dark blue tank top and tight-fitting bermuda shorts. On his right wrist is the Byakushiki 's Closed-Form, which is a white gauntlet (metal bracelet in the anime).

Having been raised (suggested to be Spartan-trained) by Chifuyu , Ichika learns to be polite to all the girls and respectful to those older than him, and is generally very kind. However, he does not take any insults to his family or his country lightly, as shown when he first met Cecilia . When she commented on how a commoner from Japan could handle the class representative, he remarked that her country isn't anything special (he even asks when was the last time her country won the award for worst cooking). Also, in the manga (and some parts of the light novel), Ichika tends to be rude when he is angered (he called Lingyin "ironing board" and idiot during their fight over the "Sweet and sour pork" promise. When Laura slapped him, he reacted angrily by shouting at her and asking why she did that ( LN ), and when she used the VT System to copy Chifuyu's data and Yukihira, he wanted to punch Laura, without her IS , as much as he could). He believes, when questioned by Laura , that his strength is his freedom to choose to help those around him. This is shown when he chose to protect a ship of fishermen who were illegally poaching during the mission against the Silver Gospel .
Ichika can be extremely clueless when it comes to the feelings the girls have for him, as more often than not, he is more worried of the fact that being the only male who can pilot an IS , he does not know the requirements of controlling it, and the fact he has to live among a very large group of girls (he even told Charles that he was very glad that another male transferred in). He believes that there is absolutely no chance for him to get a girlfriend, as he told Chifuyu that he would not be able to match any of the girls' perfect sides (not knowing that he is the type of guy all the girls want). [2] [3] However, in the light novels especially, there are hints that Ichika is not quite as oblivious as he lets on, with Charlotte even suspecting that he's doing it on purpose. As the series goes on, Ichika seems to be growing aware of the girls' feelings and his own actions around them. Kanzashi's pointed out he's started doing what he used to do unintentionally intentionally. [4]
Being a teenage boy, Ichika does have a natural interest in women, but gets easily nervous around them. He especially has a hard time with the more mature, voluptuous women around him, more so when they get too physically close to him and end up pushing their large breast against him. While he tries to do his best not to look directly at their body's despite wanting to, they don't make it easy for him due to how form-fitting the IS suit is and when he's in a position where he can't help but look at their bodies.
Additionally, he is a person who doesn't seem to be able to facilitate implication in daily life. When it comes to things like holding hands or old promises, for example, Ichika tends to misinterpret or is even completely unaware of the implications of his actions and their respective circumstances, such as turning what one of the girls hopes to be a date into a group activity. This quirk often earns him stress on both the mental and physical level from the girls around him. He is the type who learns with his body rather than his head, as more often than not, he tends to surprise his fellow classmates with questions on matters they take for granted. However, this is fair, as he spent his whole life in a matriarchal government and originally did not need to learn about the female-exclusive IS. After sometime, he is able to understand basic fundamentals of I] to help him get by (he is aware, for instance, that his IS has no available bus-slots for an Equalizer ).
Ichika has shown to be a very passionate person willing to accept any kind of circumstance for something he has done as long as it was something he either believes in or wants to do. He is willing to help companions or, in general, others as long as it is something he is willing to do. His emotions can get the best of him, and this has happened on several occasions. He was even like this in his childhood. However, his blockheadedness and reckless behavior are flaws that come with his saving grace. That quality is his overpowering will, confidence, and passion. He may not be too smart, but he can do what he has to do when he wants.
Ichika has proven himself to be extremely noble, chivalry and heroic. He never hesitates to offer to help those around him and will do everything he can for them without asking for anything in return from them. On more than one occasion, Ichika didn't think twice to throw himself into harm's way to protect his friends, nor showing any regret for his action that endangered his life (and at one time, costed him his life [5] ). Honne pointed out to Ichika that he is always there for all of them but rarely expects the same in return. When she said this, Ichika strangely started crying, suggesting there might be a deeper reason for this.
Having had little in his childhood, while being aware of how hard his older sister was working for their sake, Ichika is generally grateful to other people's goodwill. He will often do his best not to complain about what someone gives him because he knows they are just trying to be nice him, like how he has done for Chifuyu. This has caused him great pain on more than one occasion, mainly when he has to eat Cecilia or Laura's cooking, as even through he knows the food is bad, he won't say that to them because he knows it's rude. He is also quite modest when about himself, as he feels nervous when it comes to higher class places and clothing.
Ichika has a lot of hesitations in learning about where he comes from. While he believed he and Chifuyu were abandoned by their parents when he was too young to remember, he never actually tried to confirmed or look into it because he didn't want to know. [6] When he met Madoka Orimura and saw how much she resembles Chifuyu, Ichika began to wonder what his older sister wasn't telling him. However, even then Ichika was still too hesitated to push for more information after asking Chifuyu about their family. [7] It wasn't until after rapidly healing from the injuries he suffer during the Akatsubaki Incident did Ichika finally decided to question about about what he was, even through he still had some hesitation on the subject. [8]


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Iris is a highly attractive young woman with short blonde hair and a gorgeous figure with large breasts.

Iris seems to be a confident individual who cares about her comrades. She can be rather headstrong and fearless when working, ready to take some damage to stop her enemies from getting away.


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Kanzashi looks very much like Tatenashi, she has blue hair and dark red eyes like her older sister . In oppose to Tatenashi, Kanzashi's hair is inwards and is slightly longer, and has more petite body compared to her. Her IS Academy uniform consists of the typical white and red blouse, but it is modified with two triangular hairpins on both sides of her head (right and left) and yellow leggings with larger hairpins on sides on her skirt and knee-long black boots. She also wears a pair of glasses.

Kanzashi is the polar opposite of Tatenashi; while her older sister is cheerful, talkative and very straight forward, Kanzashi is far more serious, reserved and somehow shy. She is also a hikikomori, spending most of her free time under a blanket in her room watching anime. She is a huge fan of anime and idolizes anime heroes. Kanzahi was initially very reluctant to team up with Ichika, due to company being forced to work on his IS instead of making her own, but she opened up to him after a large amount of persuasion.
Her withdrawn nature is largely thanks to an inferiority complex she feels towards her sister; due to Tatenashi being better than her at pretty much everything, Kanzashi is deeply insecure and often keeps her distance from her sister, a trait she shares with Houki Shinonono . Upon learning that Ichika helping her out and offering to team up with her was an order he got from Tatenashi, Kanzashi was shocked and got sent into a state of depression until Ichika snapped her out of it. After the fight with the Golem, Kanzashi learns that nobody is perfect and that everyone makes mistakes, finally gaining the courage to reconcile with her older sister.
While Kanzashi's personality is largely different from her older sister, they do share a similar sense of humor and cunning. This is shown during the Live Cosplay Changing Race when Kanzashi put in a highly revealing Princess Knight outfit among the outfits and got Laura to wear it, knowing she wouldn't want to race while wearing something so embarrassing. She also snuck into the second year bath under the guise of caring for her sister in order to keep tabs on her feelings for Ichika and to plan a way around it.
Originally, Kanzashi wasn't one to resort to violence without a good reason. Her older sister was surprised to hear that Kanzashi slapped Ichika, despite knowing she had a grudge against him. After she started spending more time with the other personal IS pilots, she began picking up on their habit of taking out their anger on Ichika whenever he's gets too close to another girl (although she far less savage compare to them), much to his misfortune.

Kaoruko is young teenage girl which has blue eyes, dark brown hair attached in a short ponytail, and wears glasses.

Kaoruko is very forward and isn't shy to ask embarrassing questions, such as when she interviewed Ichika and Cecilia .

Kiyoka has dark, magenta eyes and short hair of the same color. She has a fit body as she practices handball and jogging.

Kiyoka is a cheerful person, and she is not shy to express her inner feelings.


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Laura has very pale, almost white skin, long silver hair, a red right eye, and a black eye patch over her yellow/golden left eye. This was the result of a failed experiment that was meant to help her become a better IS pilot.
Laura is both the shortest and most petite of the main female heroines.
Her IS Academy uniform is a modified version of the standard uniform without a skirt, and instead has pants. For her IS Practice and battles, Laura wears a gray version of the training uniform.
At night, she now wears black cat pajamas that Charlotte Dunois got her.
Ichika has remarked that Laura has a doll-like cuteness around her and said that her artificial left eye looks like gemstones.

Originally due to being born and raised in the military complex, Laura has a very cold, distant, and antisocial personality. She is initially seen as a tough person who absolutely despised Ichika for (indirectly) making his sister, Chifuyu Orimura , forfeit the match that Laura believed Chifuyu should have rightfully won. She has a major superiority complex surrounding her identity as a super soldier, as she often remarks that surrounding people's abilities are second-rate. She insulted Cecilia Alcott and Lingyin Huang during their first fight, saying that she has a hard time believing people like them possess 3rd Generation IS'. She comments that they come from countries that boasts of numbers, but no talent (Lingyin), or who's only redeeming quality is their ancient culture (Cecilia).
Despite that complex of hers, she immensely idolizes Chifuyu to the point of worship. When she is first introduced, she often seen trying to persuade Chifuyu to leave the IS Academy and return to Germany, as she believed her skills are being sullied by the students and staff who don't appreciate her and that she should be the only one who can train under her.
Having been raised in the army, she does not understand the workings of a normal life, such as when she calls Ichika her "husband" and when she comments that two hours of seiza is nothing compared to torture (Ichika wondered what counts as torture). Similarly, to Houki, Laura is rather shy when it comes to her looks despite her pride. While never having been interested in her looks or clothes before, she started thinking about them more in order to get Ichika's attention. When she does, she becomes very happy and unfocused on everything else except what Ichika has said to her. Strangely, she doesn't mind being naked in front of him.
Laura is quite honest and straightforward with her thoughts and intentions, and she will usually come out and say what she is trying to do instead of hiding it. A good example would be when she kissed Ichika right in front of the entire Class One right after falling in love with him. This self-confidante is usually envied by the other girls, as they were too embarrassed to admit their feelings or reason while she wasn't. However, she still can be shy sometimes when trying something new like wearing a swimsuit or a dress.

Calleria appears to be an adult woman with blonde hair and brown eyes.


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Rin is a young, petite teenage girl. She has light brown hair tied into long twin tails, with a yellow ribbon at both sides. She has green eyes and her fangs could often be visible.
Rin's IS Academy uniform is slightly modified as the sleeves are detached from her shoulders. For her IS practices and battles, she wears a pink version of the training uniform.

Rin is depicted as a very energetic and lively girl with a slight competitive streak. This is seen when Houki and Cecilia are arguing with Lingyin about her relationship with Ichika. She effectively answers them while hinting that she has an advantage over them (e.g. when Houki said that she had eaten and slept with Ichika when they were kids, she said that he has been coming over to her place to do the same when they were in grade school, though Ichika is quick to clarify by saying he ate at the restaurant her family owns).
In her middle school year, Rin was usually the target of pranks due to her nationality. However, Ichika helped to protect her from these situations (e.g. when he protected her from four school bullies). Because of this, she developed romantic feelings for him and made him promise that if she became an excellent cook, he would become her boyfriend. When she meets Ichika again at IS Academy , she becomes disappointed and extremely hostile to him because he has forgotten the details of the promise. When he asks what she means, she just says that it means she will give him free meals, hoping he would not understand the meaning, which is technically a lie.
Lingyin is very impulsive and irresponsible, as she always acts without thinking about her actions or the problems with them, which is made worse by the fact that she has a personal IS. This often causes headaches for her superiors in China because of the trouble she usually causes as an IS Representative Candidate. She rarely acknowledges her actions as her fault (which they always are), but instead blames everyone else (mainly Ichika). Like Houki, she has a tendency to be self-righteous about her actions. She can also act very aggressively and harshly when she is provoked enough.
She can become extremely jealous when there are other girls around Ichika who are trying to get his attention, to the point of showing the stereotypical lifeless eyes of a "yandere" girlfriend (this trait is shared with Cecilia in episode 9 and at the end of episode 12 ). This trait is also seen at the end of episode 8 , when Charlotte reveals that she is a girl. Rin crashed into the classroom and was immediately about to shoot Ichika with her Shenlong 's Ryuhow without giving him time to deploy his own IS or even listen to him. Similar to Houki as she's also his childhood friend, Rin's cruelty towards Ichika hinders her from getting closer to him (meaner than Houki to be precise). However, the case may be that Lingyin highly expected Ichika to notice how she feels about him, but she keeps her true feelings a secret which only causes more trouble. Despite being the same age as Ichika, Lingyin's too immature to give him a chance to bond with her, which also hinders her from getting closer to Ichika, despite them being childhood friends. This was displayed when she was under World Purge, as her ideal version of Ichika expressed his feelings for her while trying to make physical advancements on her whenever he had the chance, which she was happy with despite saying otherwise.
Lingyin is very sensitive when it comes to her bust size. She can become easily enraged when her size is mocked or pointed out by others. Her friends are aware of this and try not to talk about it, as she becomes threatening even when there's no ill intention. Strangely, she usually brings up this topic when she starts thinking about it or notices other girls' breasts. In Season 2 Episode 5, she became enraged and jealous when she saw Ichika look at Charlotte's breasts, believing he was only focused on them (Charlotte's breasts).
Similar to Cecilia, Lingyin is shown a lewd imagination when it comes to Ichika. Often, she would imagine him having a strong desire for her and making advances on her. Sometimes, she would mix up her delusion with reality, embarrassing herself when she realized what she was thinking.


IS (Infinite Stratos)

She is described to have almost the appearance as Chifuyu Orimura in her high school days, but with a petite body and has the same hairstyle and color. She usually wears a yellow locket around her neck with Chifuyu's picture in it. Her IS suit is uniquely different from other IS pilots, colored black and white down the middle and reveals the side of her body.

Her personality is almost the exact opposite of Ichika 's: She is cold-blooded, quiet, and prideful, always looking down on almost everybody around her. So far in the series, she only has one goal and that is to kill Chifuyu for abandoning her. To make her suffer as much as possible, she first wanted to kill Ichika. [1]
In battle, Madoka is very cool-headed and sadistic, as she would both mock and at times toy with her opponents. She complains about how weak the guards are compared to her in the first episode of the second season. She also doesn't seem to care who she hurts when it comes to getting what she wants. Likewise, she finds it more bothering to not kill someone in her way than it is to just kill them. But when ordered to or when she can't afford to, she'll simply try to deal with them as fast as she could.
Unlike Ichika, Madoka doesn't have any interest in bonding or trying to get along with others. She see's them as useless, believing power is all that matters [2] . Even when Tabane Shinonono tried to be friendly with her and went as far as to upgrade her IS, Madoka still showed cold indifference towards her, only going with her because she wanted more power [3] .


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Maya is a young woman in her 20s, and she has short green hair with matching colored eyes and wears glasses. While being around average height and somehow petite, she has a notably voluptuous figure and very large breasts, which are made more noticeable whenever she is in her tight-fitting IS suit. She is mostly seen wearing a revealing short-sleeved yellow dress with black edges on sleeves and bottom that shows off much of her pink (black in the CHOCO illustrations) bra and knee-high black boots. For practices and missions, she wears the standard IS suit. During the practice for Cannonball Fast, she wore a custom IS Suit that had a V-neck, but she was forced to stop wearing it because it was too distracting for Ichika.

Compared to the stoic, confident and harsh Chifuyu, Maya is usually a very shy, meek and nervous person who is highly affectionate towards her students. For example, when Ichika accidentally grabbed her breasts during her crash landing on him, she didn't say anything cruel or mean. Instead, she began talking about marriage and the implication that Chifuyu would become her sister-in-law and what not before having a sexual relationship. Ichika quickly backed off due to his somewhat similar personality. She is a sharp contrast when compared to Chifuyu , who tends to be very strict and hard with her students. This doesn't mean she isn't capable of being strict with them when they get out of line. Despite her tremendous IS abilities, Maya remains extremely modest when being flattered by Chifuyu, stating that it was ages ago and that she never got past being a candidate student.
Maya can be quite mischievous and teasing from time to time, such as playfully questioning Chifuyu about her brother, which she is always forced to take back under the threat of sparing with her. She also enjoys putting her old rival Djbril in an embarrassing situation by taking advantage of her prideful and rash habits. This dated back when they were students themselves.
Despite her shyness, Maya can quickly become level headed and confident when it's time for action and battle. This quick change surprised her students after she protected Ichika from Cecilia and Rin's anger. She is also somewhat playful in battle as well, and she can often be seen smiling when in action. Furthermore, Maya is surprisingly brutal as well as she would bombard her opponent with bullets without giving them any chance to escape, which earned her the nickname "Killing Shield", something she's embarrassed by.

Maya being slow to notice a Ichika's "problem"

Maya is also rather inexperienced when it comes to being around males. Often, she's slow to catch on that her large breast would naturally draw the attention of young boys (usually Ichika), especially when she's wearing the skin-tight and revealing IS suit. When Maya does finally pick up on this, she surprisingly gets very shy about Ichika noticing her breasts, but has never gotten angry at him for it, unlike Chifuyu and his friends, suggesting that she might be a little happy with the attention. She admits at one point that she has never had a boyfriend, which further explains her inexperience. She has trouble understanding some of Ichika's discomfort with women, such as when he was put in charge of taking the students' measurements.
Similar to Chifuyu, Maya cares a lot about her students as a teacher. She always expresses strong concern for them during emergencies and would prefer they avoid putting their lives in danger. Even in situations where she and Chifuyu have needed to send them out, she regrets that they had to, preferring not to as a teacher.


IS (Infinite Stratos)

Natasha is a beautiful woman in her twenties with a well-endowed body and long wavy blonde hair. In her first appearance, she wears a casual blue summer suit and sunglasses.

Natasha is a mature and respectful woman. As a Representative Candidate, Natasha is level headed and confident in battle, yet she doesn't underestimate her enemies. She can be quite grateful to those that have helped her. Natasha is also a bit clumsy as she didn't notice the effect of her action.
