Secretly, she was in league with the head of the old Vampire Council, Asato Ichijo. She is succeeded by two prominent hunters, Kaien Cross (officially) and Toga Yagari (unofficially).

The president has the very ladylike appearance, but uses gender neutral language and has a male actor in the anime. However, it is confirmed she is a woman, proven when Yuki addresses her as a 'she' in the manga (Ch. 27, Pg 22) although in the anime Yagari addresses the president as a male. She has olive green eyes, pale purple-grey hair that is partly tied up, and a light complexion. However, despite her beauty and pale skin, she is not a vampire. She wears long dresses and carries a fan, covering her mouth with it. When it is time, she has to drink a vampire's blood to maintain her beauty. She is secretly bald and wears a wig to disguise that fact.
