Youko Nakajima

Youko was a 16yearold living a fairly ordinary life as an honor student in Japan whose primary worry is her naturally red hair. One day at school a man named Keiki suddenly appeared and bowed at her feet swearing loyalty to her. The school was then attacked by a giant bird and she reluctantly accepted his protection. He gave her a sword and transports her and two of her classmates to the kingdom of Kou. Source: Wikipedia
