Her lack of knowledge about sexual activities and romantic relationships leads to various comedic misunderstandings. Since she doesn’t understand social norms that much she often tries to solve her problems with money.
Before meeting Miyuki she was a very cold and calculating person. She only thought about the benefits a relationship can bring her and she wasn’t interested in the feelings of others. During her time in the student council, she learns to become more expressive with her emotions. She changes her hairstyle and adds a ribbon to look cuter and less intimidating towards others.
