Madoka Ui

"The point is, we should include some two-to-one formations as a separate set of moves."

- Madoka Ui to her teammates

Madoka Ui is the Operator of Kakizaki Unit.

Appearance
Ui has neck-length wavy brown hair with bangs covering her forehead. Her lips are often curved in a slight, cat-like smile. In her trion body she wears the standard Operator uniform.

Personality
Ui appears to be friendly, pragmatic and nonchalant. She maintains balance within her unit.

Kuniharu Kakizaki
Ui is a positive presence for Kakizaki, gently urging him when he vacillates. She seems to speak to him in a more informal manner than their other teammates. Contrary to his fears, she does not resent him for their losses.

Background
Ui resides in one of Mikado City's temporary residences, presumably due to losing her home during the First Large-Scale Invasion. Since then, she has been saving money to be able to move her whole family to a house that allows cats. Around two years prior to Yūma Kuga's and Chika Amatori's enlistment she was already a Border Operator. Right after Kakizaki left Arashiyama Unit, Haruka Ayatsuji told her that he wanted to create a new unit and she volunteered to be his Operator.

B-Rank Rank Battles Arc
On the day of her unit's match against Tamakoma Second and Katori Unit, Ui asks Kakizaki about his impression of Yūma. When he replies that Yūma struck him as a good guy, she light-heartedly retorts that it means nothing. She is impressed to hear that Tamakoma Second is already aiming to join the next away team despite its recent formation. Once the match starts, she warns her teammates about Tamakoma Second's attack from the rear, Katori Unit donning their Bagworms, and Chika's incoming Sniper Fire. When Tomoe bails out from Yūma's and Chika's unpredictable tactics, Ui reassures him that there was nothing he could have done to prevent it. At the end of the match, when Kakizaki apologizes for having been overcautious, Ui is skeptical that a better result could have been achieved had they abandoned their safety measures, and insists that their priority should rather be to develop two-to-one formations to complement their stable, three-man unit.

Abilities
As the Operator of a moderately successful B-rank unit, Ui is probably a competente multi-tasker. During her unit's match against Tamakoma Second she has proven herself very alert of their opponents' positions, giving them timely warnings which allowed them to react to incoming attacks. She was also the one to suggest expanding the unit's formation, addressing its most glaring flaw.
