An Amakusa Catholic girl. She seems to harbor romantic feelings for Tōma that border on genuine love, but her shyness prevents her from acting on them or conveying them to him. She has accompanied Tōma and his friends on multiple occasions, traveling to Italy, France, and then England with him. In the events of the 16th novel, she becomes his caretaker. When Acqua first attacks, she fails to protect Touma, trying unsuccessfully to heal him with magic several times due to his Imagine Breaker. After Touma is sent to the hospital, she is seen despairing over her failure. Tatemiya Saiji rebukes her, telling her to stop feeling sad and look to the future, when Acqua will come and attack again, and that she should focus on proving to Touma that it was worth his time protecting her from Acqua. During the Amakusa Catholics' rematch against Aqua after Tōma was nearly killed, she displayed a sudden change of personality, becoming full of tranquil fury that even altered the way she spoke. She performed a "Saint Destroyer" in that battle, harming Acqua and causing him to lose the "Divine Mother's Mercy." Her weapon is a Friulian Spear; by adding layers of reinforcement, it turns the spear into a symbol of a "Thousand Years Tree," which symbolizes the growth of plants and makes certain magic spells more potent over time. She can also perform Nanasen (七閃, "Seven Flash") by manipulating her spear and steel wires, just like Kanzaki Kaori.
