Sasae Mochibaru

Defined by her extreme shyness, this timid girl often avoids eye contact and speaks in a hushed tone. She frequently holds her head with both hands due to a bizarre, paralyzing fear that it might roll off her shoulders. Despite being easily intimidated by Miri Natayama and nervous around Kouki Akune, she possesses a hidden strength. She fiercely protects the Shogi Club's freshmen and maintains a deep, compassionate loyalty toward her club members.
