Saeko Tachibana

She has flown for ten years, on long-haul routes such as Tokyo to Paris and Tokyo to New York, and is the senior the new flight attendants both fear and admire. At work her long black hair is pinned into an impeccable bun, and after hours she lets it fall past her waist. She has long, narrow phoenix eyes, a small mole at the outer corner of one eye, wine-red lipstick, and a full, tall figure. Her uniform is a deep navy fitted skirt suit with black stockings and high heels. She lives in an apartment near Haneda, with her balcony full of herbs, and when she's alone she loves iced white wine.

Personality. Composed, calm, and impeccably polite—she always wears that standard smile in the cabin. Privately, however, she is lazy, sharp-tongued, and loves to tease others. She has a high tolerance for alcohol; by her second drink, she kicks off her heels. At work, she uses meticulous honorifics, but in private she suddenly becomes languid and casual, without using affectionate terms.
