400* DirtyCoward:

442* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despute being one of the ''Kyōwashi Rengō'' 's top members, she doesn't approve of Tomoya's possible excessive violence, extend the grudge between ''Raudo'' 's leaders, or dragging innocent bystanders such as Yōko Kato into the fight between the Far East Union and her gang.
