~ Tatenashi to Ichika.

Tatenashi Sarashiki (real name: Katana Sarashiki) is a heroine in the light novel and anime series Infinite Stratos. She is a second-year student at IS Academy and the Student Council President. She is introduced in volume 4 of the novels and season 2 of the anime, when she is assigned to protect Ichika Orimura. She is also the older sister of Kanzashi Sarashiki.

She is voiced by Chiwa Saitō in the Japanese version of the anime, and by Jessica Calvello in the English version of the anime.

Bio[]

Tatenashi is the Russian Cadet Representative to the IS Academy (though apparently half-Japanese) and currently the strongest IS user in the Academy, warranting her the position of Student Council President. She's the pilot of the third-generation IS, Mysterious Lady.

Appearance[]

Tatenashi is a beautiful teenage girl of average height with short blue hair, dark red eyes and a very voluptuous, mature body; having slender thighs, large breasts, a water-snake like waist with no trace of fat on her yet firm muscles and a perfect-curvy butt. Ichika has stated that the figure of Tatenashi is not just good, but really outstanding. Her IS Academy uniform consists of the typical white and red blouse, a skirt that is slightly short compared to others, with a yellow tie, and a pale green overcoat around it, along with red leggings. 

Personality[]

In the light novel, she is said to have very high standards due to her prestigious family, where everything must be done perfectly. Despite that, she has, as Ichika puts it, "a wild, or rather whimsical, personality with slight cat-like mischief." She enjoys teasing people and tickling others (her unfortunate victims are mostly Ichika and Laura). Despite her tendency to tease, Tatenashi has also shown moments of being flustered, mostly as a result of her feelings for Ichika.

She does have a serious side, though she tends to talk playfully even when serious so it can be difficult to determine just how seriously she is taking things. Tatenashi takes failing rather hard, due to the fact she has many titles and positions (Student Council President, Sarashiki family head, and IS Representative of Russia). She is also a little insecure when it comes to her sister, as she wants to help/support her but they do not get along with each other due to their competitive natures - a holdover from their childhood. This is one of the few topic where she show a gloomy side to her normal cheerfulness.

Infinite Stratos & Abilities[]

As the head of a secret organization and the current IS Representative of Russia, she is implied to be exceptionally skilled in many areas related to IS and other skills related to fighting. She's been consider a prodigy even by her family standards ever since she was a child. She is known to be talented in judo, as she knocked Ichika out during their first fight (Ichika stopped counting and passed out after being thrown around 9 times). She apparently has developed a knack for unlocking Ichika's room lock (much to his chagrin). Outside of her combat skills, she is very cunning and intelligent in many fields. She usually puts her wits to work by managing the students at IS Academy while keeping Ichika close to her. She likewise said to be very skilled at almost everything she does, including cooking. 

Furthermore, the title of the President of Student Council goes to the most proficient student, thus explaining why she is the SC President even though she is a second year student. She has more than once defended her right to the position by easily defeating all of her opponents. However, her overconfident in being the strongest student at the academy can cause her to leave herself open to dangers and counter attack, and as a result, she gets injured when she could have avoided it by being more careful.
