Second Lieutenant Ryuuzouji Shouko (age 17), member of the "Cavalry" squadron of the Fusou Air National Defense Force. Her TAC name is "Dragon", her Strikers are F-1s, and her familiar is a kite. Her family have been military for several hundred years, so she's been taught how to use swords, prepare tea, and maintain self-discipline from an early age. However, she has a natural aversion to studying, so only her skills with magic and swords grew. She enlisted in the air force as soon as she finished her secondary education, and is still something of a newbie airman. She's always carefree and light-spirited. She has a very straightforward personality, but she's such a huge klutz it's like she's missing something. Her marks in school were not good, either. Lieutenant Oomoto is an old childhood friend and (Shouko's) self-declared rival. The sword she's wearing is a tachi.
