Description
Maho Mochizuki is a prominent character who serves as the student council president at Shiomi Academy, a role that defines much of her presence within the story. She is a third-year student majoring in political science, reflecting her deep engagement with leadership and governance. Physically, she is described as a teenage girl of average height, with long white hair styled with bangs hanging on the left side and distinctive purple eyes. Her uniform includes a cape with a mauve scarf, a distinction given to student council members.

Maho possesses a strong-willed and idealistic personality. She firmly believes that Shiomi Academy was established to enhance students' abilities, and because students chose to enroll with this understanding, they have a responsibility to strive and compete with one another. This philosophy drives her actions as student council president, as she works to create an environment where this theory can become reality. True to her own ideals, she is an exceptionally hardworking individual who maintains the top academic rank in the entire school. Consequently, she often expects a similar level of dedication from others. Despite her strict and perfectionist nature, she is not naive or unyielding; she is aware of the gap between her ideals and reality, which can be a source of internal conflict for her. Nevertheless, her approval rating among the student body is very high, and she is widely respected for her charisma and dedication.

Her primary motivation in the story is to fulfill her duties as student council president effectively. This goal is most visibly demonstrated through her persistent, and repeatedly unsuccessful, attempts to recruit Kyotaro Kakei into the student council. She values his top-tier academic abilities and sees him as a valuable asset to her organization. However, it is implied that her interest in him goes beyond his academic record, as multiple characters hint that she has developed romantic feelings for him. These feelings often surface when she becomes flustered or embarrassed during their interactions, such as when he teases her or during a lunch date they share. Her pursuit of Kyotaro is a recurring element, and his kind manner of rejection is said to be part of the reason she continues to try.

Maho shares several key relationships that shape her role. Her closest associate is her vice-president, Aoi Takigawa. While they work together in running the student council, their differing viewpoints create friction; Maho believes the student council exists to serve the students, a principle that causes conflict with Aoi, who eventually adopts a more domineering attitude. This clash reaches a point where Maho is compelled to secretly support the Library Club to counter Aoi's overreach. She also has a unique dynamic with Ikkei Takamine, an acquaintance who seems to understand her feelings for Kyotaro and is not above teasing her about them. Furthermore, Maho is childhood friends with Sayumi Ureshino, a relationship that gives Sayumi a particular advantage; she knows embarrassing secrets from Maho's past and can easily cause her to panic with a simple threat.

Throughout the narrative, Maho demonstrates notable abilities beyond her academic excellence and leadership skills. She has a habit of engaging in simple brain-training exercises, such as performing arithmetic on the numbers of passing license plates to make ten. It is also mentioned that she was the final winner of a speed quiz competition in the previous year, indicating quick thinking and a broad knowledge base. Her character sees development as she grapples with the limitations of her idealistic approach, particularly when faced with the challenges of managing the student council and dealing with Aoi's growing extremism. She eventually takes on an advisory role, helping to guide the new student council after her term concludes. Following her graduation from Shiomi Academy, she goes on to attend a university in the United States.
