She was hailed as a genius player until middle school, but an accident left her unable to play for long periods. However, she still possesses enough skill to single-handedly shut out the soccer club as it was before the new freshmen joined. She has a keen eye for instantly identifying the strengths and weaknesses of both allies and enemies. She won the position of coach by leading a 4v4 match of freshmen against sophomores, defeating the former coach's team. She has a habit of snapping her fingers frequently.
