One of the oldest members of the Imperial Flower Division, Maria Tachibana (mar-ee-uh toh-chi-bon-na) is at times stoic and self-reserved, yet also uses this mantra to hide her deep-seeded trauma and urgency to partake in her own emotional volition. She is often the voice of reason of the group against the arguments of others, as she finds herself accustomed to the role of the mediator.

Beyond that, she is loyal and responsible to her superiors, and is very skilled in combat. However, her constant aspirations towards leadership can sometimes drive her to the edge - she chooses to face her problems alone, without realizing the companionship she's made ever since she was alone.

Her prose and diction is stark and concealed - only breaking in moments of desperation.
