She has a ring called a "shitenrin" (xVÖ) used to bring forth "star spirits" called hoshigami (Ŋ_) to help her. She falls in love with Tasuke when she first meets him, but she's too shy to tell him. Shao always calls him "Tasuke-sama" (ūl). In order to be close to Tasuke to protect him, she comes to his school as a transfer student.
