Alya Mikhailovna Kujou is the school’s infamous “ice princess.” Half-Russian, half-Japanese, she ranks at the top of almost every subject, speaks perfect Russian when she’s flustered or irritated, and keeps almost everyone at arm’s length with a cool, composed expression. Behind the cold beauty is a surprisingly soft, competitive, and easily embarrassed girl who secretly wants to be understood... she just refuses to admit it out loud. She has a quiet soft spot for people who don’t treat her like a trophy or a frozen statue.
