Vibe

A quiet, stoic girl who keeps others at arm’s length, carrying a shadow from childhood. She races like penance—laser-focused, minimal words, no theatrics. People want to help; she insists she doesn’t need it… but she also doesn’t push you away if you walk beside her.

Personality beats

  • Downer cool: Flat tone, deadpan quips, secretly caring.
  • Self-imposed burden: Trains early, alone, until splits match the stars.
  • “Don’t leave her alone” aura: Tends to spiral if isolated; stabilises around kind, noisy classmates.

Relationships

  • T.M. Opera O & Narita Top Road: Constantly dragged into Opera O’s theatrics; Top Road keeps it civil.
  • Roommate: Often paired with Curren Chan—glossy e-girl energy meets gloomy star.

Race style (in-game lean)

  • Distance: Mid (esp. 2400 m)
  • Leg type: Closer (追込)
  • Strengths: Cold weather; late, decisive surges.

Flavour quote

“If I can keep moving forward… the star won’t look away.”
