Personality
Kitora is an arrogant girl. As she got accepted as an A-class elite member when she was still at middle school, she thinks she's 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.

Osamu Mikumo
Kitora considers Osamu her rival (which she refuses to admit), but Osamu has a lot of respect for her. At first scolding him for breaking the rules of Border, Kitora later sees a humble and caring person in Osamu. She seems to be one of the people interested in his ever-growing potential. However, she still tries to find fault in his actions. She also envies the fact he is trained by her former mentor Kyōsuke. Contrary to Kitora, Osamu genuinely respects her, which surprises her. Despite her hostility towards him, she has been hinted to have romantic feelings for him.

Yūma Kuga
Kitora and Yūma have conflicting personalities. As said by Osamu, they are "completely incompatible". She finds him annoying, as he's always counteracting her, such as when she scolded Osamu for using his trigger outside of Border's base, and when he said she seems unable to accept the fact Osamu was complimented, and when he said that she considers Osamu her rival and that they aren't competing. He was the one who made her see how good Osamu really was.

Jun Arashiyama
As her team captain, Kitora respects Arashiyama a lot, but she questioned his judging when he thanked Osamu for saving the school, as he disrespected Border's rules by doing so. They also have conflicting opinions about Osamu, whereas Arashiyama considers Osamu smart and brave, she considers him stupid and lucky.

Ken Satori
Kitora has a lot of respect for Satori, but is bothered by his constant goofiness.

Mitsuru Tokieda
Kitora has a lot of respect for Tokieda.

Haruka Ayatsuji
They seem to have a good relationship.

Kyōsuke Karasuma
Like Osamu is now, Kitora was Karasuma's student. She respects him a lot and seems to have a crush on him.

Futaba Kuroe
Kitora seems to want Kuroe to respect her, but Kuroe treats her coldly, making her sad.
