Vampire Hunter Association President (Character)

The  Hunter Association's President is a minor character in Vampire Knight. As her title suggests, she was the former Hunter Association President. 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).

Appearance
The president has the very ladylike appearance, but uses gender neutral language and has a male actor in the anime. However, Yuki addresses her as a 'she' in the manga (Ch. 27, Pg 22). Kaien Cross calls the president a man when speaking to another hunter (Ch.45 Pg.26). 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.
