Profile

The leader of the Arius Squad, an elite special forces unit within the Arius Academy.

She has a cold side where she uses any means or methods necessary to achieve her goal, but she is passionate and she expresses her emotions honestly. She's an unrivaled expert when it comes to guerrilla tactics, but she lacks common sense in everyday life. It's said that the Arius Squad's combat power is the result of completing Saori's training from start to finish.

Saori's full name is Joumae Saori. Saori's birthday is September 3rd, and Saori stands 5'6" tall. Saori is voiced by 石上静香 in Japanese and Lee Myunghi in Korean. 9ml drew Saori.
