Arisu Sakayanagi

Arisu Sakayanagi is a key character in the Classroom of the Elite anime, serving as the leader and representative of Class A (the top-ranking class at Advanced Nurturing High School).

In the anime adaptation, she appears as a petite, delicate-looking teenage girl with short lilac-colored hair, violet eyes, and a composed, elegant demeanor. She typically wears the standard female school uniform along with a black beret (with a gray ribbon) and relies on a cane to walk due to a congenital heart condition that limits her physical abilities and makes her noticeably shorter than her peers.

Personality-wise, Arisu is calm, highly intelligent, and often carries a subtle smug or amused smile. She maintains a "go-with-the-flow" attitude in most situations, rarely showing overt distress, but she is sharply strategic, innovative, and manipulative when it serves her goals. She's respected (and somewhat feared) by others for her commanding intellect and presence, despite her fragile appearance, and she views herself as a true genius with a particular interest in outwitting certain rivals.
