She was once a student of Class D at this school.

She noticed Ayanokouji's abnormality early on and observed his actions firsthand. She uses the story of the Wings of Icarus to draw a parallel with Kiyotaka Ayanokouji. Because Ayanokouji's father wanted him to drop out, she took the opportunity to threaten Ayanokouji: if he didn't help her current class reach Class A to fulfill her past regret, she would find a pretext to expel him; however, if he helped her, she would protect him from expulsion. Later, because Ayanokouji's father proactively came to the school, it was revealed that he had never contacted her at all, and everything was just her deception. Consequently, Ayanokouji threatened her in return, telling her not to force him into class competition again, or he would let her know that "the status of a teacher is not safe." Although she didn't show it, she developed a fear of Ayanokouji in her heart.
