Backstory
Born on July 8, Imperial Calendar 2000. Attends Ashford Academy high school, active as a key member of the swim club and student council. Interacts with Lelouch as a classmate, initially misunderstanding him but gradually developing interest and eventually falling in love. Having lost her father early, her bright and strong sense of justice leads her to mediate relationships in her class and student council, earning admiration from those around her. She accidentally learns Lelouch's secret, becoming mentally unstable, but her love for him ultimately prevents her from killing him. Later, her memories are erased by Lelouch's Geass, causing her to act like a different person, but they are restored by Jeremiah, reviving her true self. She is killed by Rolo's stray bullet, officially ruled as suicide, but no one in the student council believes that.
