Appearance[]
Human[]
As a human, Sanae has long black hair that she wears up in a clip. She has a bobby pin on the right side of her hair. Her eyes are a pale color. She wears an office suit with tights and high heels. She is taller than her Magical Girl counterpart, Ruler.
Magical Girl[]
As a Magical Girl, Ruler has short, light purple hair. On either side of her head are two clips with a brown and black exterior and a red cushion-like interior. Long white and pale reddish-brown strips hang down from those clips. She also wears two small diamond-shaped black hair clips and earrings. Her eyes are also a shade of purple. She also wears a black crown that has a white diamond shape in the front.
She wears a royal princess-like attire, with a white outfit and a red and black cape. Her white outfit has a lace collar, and it is held to the royal blue top of her cloak with a gold-and-blue pin.

Ruler's magic scepter is golden, with a long handle. The top is red and heart-shaped, with a golden eagle shape perched on top of it.
Personality[]
She gives her subjects' points based on what they do and say, and will generally not tolerate any foolishness or stupidity from them. Eventually, this provokes them into conspiring into killing her. She has a mentality of people around her being "idiots". Before she became a Magical Girl, she had top grades and was generally extremely successful in her life.
Even though she typically acts harshly towards her group, she has been known to show kindness to them and seems to care for their well-being to an extent. After giving Tama her "Way of the Magical Girl - Book for Idiots with Brains so Faulty, They Can't Grasp What I Say.", when Tama couldn't read the kanji, Ruler sat with her and wrote in hiragana so she could understand. Though, this may have been to benefit herself by having Tama understand her rules clearly.
Magic[]
Can order those directly in front of her to do anything.
Ruler possesses a scepter as her unique magical item. It allows her to give a command to anyone she chooses.
Several conditions must be met to give the commands. Notably, Ruler must use her scepter when giving these commands, as the source of the magic is not herself.
To properly give a command, Ruler must fulfill the following conditions:
- She must stand completely still.
- She must call the opponent by name.
- She must point the scepter at them.
- She must be within 5 meters of the opponent.
- The opponent must understand the command.
- She must say "In the name of Ruler".
If one of these conditions is broken at any point in time, the magic is canceled. The magic is also automatically canceled once the command has been carried out.
Special Item(s)[]

Snow White[]
In the first week of the Magical Girl Raising Project, Snow White ranked number one in the collection of Candies. Ruler was mad at this and decided to steal her candies in the next week.

Nemurin[]
Fav[]
Henmi Yuka[]
Henmi Yuka is Ruler's close friend and former coworker. Although their friendship is strained due to Ruler cutting contact from all people after quitting her job, Yuka still genuinely cares for Ruler immensely. She frequently praises Ruler's work and cooking abilities, calling her a talented person she greatly admires.
In The Great Leader’s Distress, the two meet up accidentally while Ruler is searching for her team. Although she protests, Yuka rejoices at finding her close friend, bringing her into a coffee shop, reminiscing about Ruler's talents and her experience at work before she had quit. Ironically, Yuka reveals the workplace had actually gone downhill after she quit, despite their boss treating Ruler as an inferior.
