Fujisawa Erena

Fujisawa Erena (藤沢 エレナ) is the childhood friend of Hanesaki Ayano and a long time friend of Miura Noriko. Originally a manager of the Kitakomachi badminton club, she later becomes a player due to Nagisa not participating in the prefectural team tournament. Erena has brown eyes and long black hair. She usually wears the Kitakomachi uniform. Erena is smart and empathetic. As Ayano's childhood friend, Erena has always taken care of her, to the point that the former initially always ran to her for help, and acted as a bodyguard of sorts, keeping Kentarou away from her. Despite this, she can take action if needed,such as when she tricked Ayano into coming with them to the team's training camp. She is also strong willed and full of curiosity but can timid at times. Although she didn't know anything about badminton, she was willing to join the team because she felt as though that was what Ayano needed. She could see her friend was quitting on something she loved and continued to push her to stay on the team.
