When she does become serious, Iona goes from idiotic ditz to a straightforward tactician.
Bio: One of the transfers to Reiver, she hails from a small Japanese school ship that the rest of the crew is from, which all have small experience in Sensha-do. Technically the second oldest within the crew, she initially began as a social outcast within her society, estranged by everyone due to rather unusual behavior. It was Nagisa that would first approach her during her second year of middle school, who would introduce her to Saki, and then eventually Maiko and Fumiko. It was until near the end of her first year in high school, where they forced to be separated, as they were enlisted to help their sensha-do team for their second match in the nationals. There, she would be given command of a Valentine tank with Fumiko and Maiko, who despite being new at the sport, catching up fast enough. By the time of the match, they contributed in knocking out an enemy tank, before they're flag tank was knocked out, ending their sensha-do career shortly after starting it.

When they reached high school, like the others, they were enlisted in sensha-do, where she became the driver of the Valentine.
