Wakaba Saegusa

Wakaba Saegusa is one of the main characters of Vivid Red Operation. She is the team captain of New Oshima Academy's Girls' Kendo Club, and the committee chairman of the class. She possesses an unyielding character that refuses to give in to challenges, but at the same time has a weakness for anything cute. She spends quite a lot of time with Himawari and goes to factory tours with her.

Appearance
Wakaba is the tallest out of the four friends. She has dark green hair and green eyes. Her hair is tied up in a ponytail with a purple bow.

Personality
Wakaba is very pridefull, and she has weakness for anything cute. It is noted that she has fear of bugs, which is shown on episode 6.

Wakaba has an interest in fashion. She has found clothes for Himawari multiple times to wear such as to the mall. She claims that her fashion sense is 'never wrong'. This point has been proved when Wakaba asks Himawari to wear a blue dress to the Futuba mall and Himawari being asked to model for a magazine that Wakaba reads. This leads to Himawari having an official photoshoot.

Abilities
Even before becoming a Vivid System user, Wakaba was already known for her expertise in kendo, particularly the Natural Harmony Style. Her skills in swordsmanship earned her prizes in kendo tournaments across Japan, and has won the national tournament the year before, a feat that was unheard of from a junior high school freshman.

These abilities are vastly improved when she uses the Vivid System.
