Makoto Takiya (泷谷真, たきや まこと)

Georgie Saikawa (才川乔吉, さいかわ ジョージー)
	Riko's older sister, her real name is Sanae Saikawa (才川苗, さいかわ さなえ). She is usually an ordinary third-year student, but she uses the name Georgie as a maid at home. Her knowledge and words and deeds made Kobayashi recognize her as a comrade.
