Relationships
Friends
Audrey Duval
The two seem like they're friends, and together with Trish, they're the rulers that warn the first-year students about how them have to treat their upperclassmen. Because they lost against Satellizer in the Carnival, they want to take revenge of her and for that reason they want to punish Kazuya.
Trish McKenzie
The two are seen together very often, and they're in charge of the punishment of the first- year students that don't respect their upperclassmen, and taking revenge of Satellizer by punishing Kazuya and his friends.
Others
Satellizer L. Bridget
She seems to hate her, because she, alongside with Trish and Audrey, wanted to take revenge for her loss against her during the Carnival in Kazuya and his friends.
