Crisis: Expelled from her old school
Kei used to be one of the star members of Nayamigawa High's martial arts club. Despite her skill and popularity among the student body, however, she had been reprimanded more than once for her hot-headed attitude when it got into trouble.
Not long after she became a mahou shoujo, she had to leave practice early to find a daemon she thought was getting dangerously close to the school. By the time she arrived, the damage had already been done, the daemon had moved on...and the students that had come to investigate thought they recognized Kei.
Although Kei was able to escape before anyone truly recognized her, news traveled fast among the Nayamigawa student body, and she became the subject of vicious rumors, ranging from her being part of a girl gang, to her having planned to blow up the school. The rash of daemon attacks certainly didn't help either; she got blamed for many of them, which frustrated her to no end because she couldn't prove she wasn't responsible. It didn't take long for her to flip out and assault one of her classmates, and when the administration found out, they expelled Kei on the spot. Fortunately for her, she was able to transfer to another school relatively quickly, but that didn't stop the rumors from following her...

NPCs
| Name | Description | Level |
|---|---|---|
| Ryou Kanzaki | Kei still maintains a good, caring relationship with her father, a PE teacher at her new school; in fact, it was thanks to his influence that Kei was able to transfer schools so quickly after getting expelled from Nayamigawa. | 3 |
| Sumika Miyauchi | Kei's closest friend, and the one classmate from Nayamigawa that she's still in touch with. The two of them got to know each other when Kei defended her from a group of bullies in elementary school, and found that they had a lot of interests in common (including martial arts, although Kei was much more gung-ho about them than Sumika). She's been able to get Kei to relax on more than one occasion. | 3 |
| Mayaka Okada | Occasional training partners. When Kei was wandering around Shinohara High* after being rejected by its martial arts club (the captain had told her it "wouldn't be good for their image" to have Kei around), she found the older girl practicing alone, and asked if she wouldn't mind if someone joined with her. | 1 |
| Izumi-sensei | Counselor/student relationship. One of the few adults Kei will open up to. | 2 |
| Kimura | Occasional conversation partner out in the city | 1 |

Image Song
| You can't live without the fire It's the heat that makes you strong 'Cause you're born to live and fight it all away You can't hide what lies inside you It's the only thing you've known You'll embrace it and never walk away Don't walk away |
