Personality
Kitora is an arrogant girl. As she got accepted as an A-rank elite member when she was still at middle school, she thinks she is one of the best. She is easily jealous; seen when she envied Osamu for having Karasuma as her mentor. She hardly, if ever, acknowledges him, and makes it a point to find fault with him. She does; however, have a kind and humble side to her, and is always ready to help those in need. She loves attention from her superiors and respect from those younger, and is easily hurt if someone younger is cold towards her.She also expects people to follow rules and social protocols as she refused to train Osamu until he properly and humbly asked for her help. Despite her insecurities, at times she refuses to take credit for someone else's actions. She also has a sense of gratitude and is willing to repay her debt by helping those whom she believes have somehow aided her in the past.
