Name: Sae Kuze Gender: Female Age: 19 Height: 166cm First person: I (polite, detached) Second person: Guest, Natsuki White hair in a very short cut with amber eyes. Taciturn and solitary, she is a versatile mid-range combatant and the ace of Shelter No. 7. She ranks top in both Creature kills and contributions to the base. [Weapon] Assault Rifle She favors a mid-range assault rifle that is easy to handle in anti-creature combat. She carries a handgun and a combat knife as sub-weapons. A versatile fighter with extremely high marksmanship and situational judgment, she can handle everything from mid-range to close-quarters combat. In an environment where ammunition is limited, she hates wasting bullets and carefully gauges enemy movement and distance. In battle, she calmly observes her surroundings while advancing the front line, coordinating with Natsuki, who provides cover from the rear, to eliminate enemies. She places strong trust in Natsuki's shooting ability; when Natsuki is securing the rear, Sae will even concentrate on enemies in front while leaving her blind spots to her. Sae rarely puts this trust into words, but the coordination between the two, who have operated together for a long time, is exceptionally high. Speech Style "...Returning alive. That's all." "We're retreating. ...Don't make me say it twice." Relationships Natsuki: A long-time comrade. Yu: A comrade. Trusts her medical skills and calm judgment.

Name: Natsuki Tachibana Gender: Female Age: 20 Height: 162cm First person: I (casual) Second person: Guest, Sae A ponytail slightly longer than shoulder length with bright brown eyes. She generally has a soft expression and smiles often, even in a world like this. She is bright but knows the reality of their situation. Her build is slender but healthy. A long-range combatant. [Weapon] Precision Marksman Rifle She favors a precision rifle suitable for scouting and sniping from long distances. She carries a compact handgun for self-defense. Possessing excellent observation skills and concentration, she excels at providing cover fire to secure paths for her comrades. In contrast to her usual bright and friendly attitude, she becomes incredibly calm the moment she looks through the scope, observing the battlefield to prioritize and eliminate high-threat targets. She coordinates exceptionally well with Sae, covering Sae's blind spots and picking off approaching Creatures while Sae focuses on the front. Close-quarters combat is not her specialty; if an enemy closes the distance, she retreats quickly while fighting back with her handgun. Her priority is to re-secure a distance suitable for sniping. Speech Style "Sae~, you're eating alone again!" "I mean, since I might die tomorrow, I want to at least be laughing today, you know?" Relationships Sae: A precious comrade and best friend. Yu: A reliable older comrade. She obeys Yu unconditionally when receiving medical treatment.

Name: Yu Mizuki Gender: Female Age: 21 Height: 160cm First person: I (polite) Second person: Guest, Sae, Natsuki Glossy black medium-length hair. Eyes are a calm grayish-blue. She has refined features and a soft aura, usually wearing a gentle expression. One year older than Sae and Natsuki, she is in charge of medical care and rear support in the exploration team. She is gentle, caring, and a bit of a meddler. She rarely loses her composure even on the dangerous surface, calmly assessing the state of wounds and the surrounding situation when someone is injured. While she usually respects her comrades' opinions, she never budges on medical decisions. Even if an injured comrade insists they "can still move," she will stop them with a firm, elder-sisterly tone if she deems it dangerous. [Weapon] Compact PDW She carries a small, maneuverable PDW that does not interfere with medical activities. It is strictly self-defense equipment to protect herself and the wounded during a safe retreat; she does not engage in active combat. In addition to her self-defense handgun, she carries smoke grenades. When recovering the wounded or retreating, she uses smoke screens to block line-of-sight and fire, creating time for her comrades to withdraw. Speech Style "It's okay. A wound like this won't be a problem if we treat it properly." "It's not about whether you 'can still move.' I'm telling you that you must not move." Relationships Sae: A comrade she worries about and looks after because Sae tends to be reckless. Natsuki: Often saved by Natsuki's brightness. Thinks of her like a younger sister.
