Rise Kaname
Age: 15 The daughter of a wealthy family and Komomo's best friend. Initially, she was very hateful towards Komomo, as she thought she would try to usurp her position of "Queen of the Class." She, and a group of girls from their class, bullied Komomo constantly; stealing her chair, placing funeral flowers (White Chrysanthemums) on her desk, and writing insults there as well. This plan backfired when the other girls took a liking to Komomo and instead began harassing Rise. Surprisingly, Komomo was the first to stand up to the girls and helped Rise, who then wanted nothing else than to become Komomo's friend. Early on, she is shown to have a crush on a boy who frequents her family's store. With Komomo's help, she asks him out on a double date. The date turns sour when the two boys drug Komomo and attempt to take "dirty pictures" of her and Rise. They are soon rescued by Natsu and Yuri, who Rise falls in love with. In chapter 29, Rise gives Yuri a gift and confesses to him.
