Saya Takagi

Saya Takagi (高城 沙耶) is one of the main characters in Highschool of the Dead. She's a second-year student at Fujimi Academy and a self-proclaimed genius with exceptional intellect and deductive skills. Her sharp mind makes her the group's strategist, often figuring out key details about the zombie outbreak (like how "they" are attracted to sound) and helping the survivors escape danger.

Personality-wise, Saya is arrogant, stubborn, and frequently blunt or tsundere-like in her interactions, but she deeply cares for her companions and shows a protective, almost motherly side (especially toward young Alice). She's the daughter of a prominent right-wing politician, which ties into some family drama during the apocalypse.

She has distinctive long pink hair usually styled in twin tails, orange eyes, and later switches to wearing glasses after her contacts run out.
