Personality

Another one was on  Episode 8 where she understood that she would have to fight all by herself rather than having somebody else help her. She only harmed her own life for letting her friends escape.

Relationships

In the matsuri of Underwood, they often travel together and also seeked the same mentor(Garol) to develop their Gifts further.

Calico Cat - she is the original owner/friend of Calico Cat. The cat calls her "Oujo-sama" and has followed her for most of her life. They are almost the same age.

Sakamaki Izayoi - They are friends, but they do not talk so much. Even during the time when she was bedridden due to the Black Death symptoms, Izayoi had sat quietly beside her bed reading up on the way to stop the game. She was surprised when he forgave her readily when she apologized for his spoilt headphones, not realising that Izayoi was much more caring than he usually lets on.

Ayesha - They fought in a Gift game in [ Duel of the Creators  ] that was held on the same day of Sandora's rise to Floor Master coronation ceremony. Though You had lost to Ayesha due to Jack's overwhelming power, they had become friends since that day.
