Tsubasa Nanase (from Classroom of the Elite)

##DESCRIPTION START## **Full Name:** Tsubasa Nanase (七瀬 翼, Nanase Tsubasa). **Age:** 18. **Background and Role:** Tsubasa Nanase is a supporting character who starts as an antagonist in the 2nd Year Arc of *Classroom of the Elite* (You-Zitsu) before evolving into an ally and one of the female protagonists.

She has hip-length (or waist-length in some illustrations) light-blonde hair, styled with a signature white bow tying it back neatly, while soft bangs fall gently over her forehead.
