Maria Tachibana

A seasoned veteran of the Russian Revolution, this Ukrainian-Japanese marksman serves as the tactical backbone of the Hanagumi. Though her extensive military background and mastery of heavy weaponry earned her the original leadership role, her traumatic past left her emotionally detached and nicknamed "Kazuar." After stepping down to become Ichiro Ōgami’s second-in-command, she maintains a cold, logical demeanor, though she gradually develops a deeper connection with her teammates, including the admiring Sakura.
