Хадзама Шьоко

Shouko lives with her mother Youko and a short-tailed white cat named Coo. Shouko has been bedridden for most of her life from some chronic disease. Although her best friend Maya visits her daily, she is often lonely and wants desperately to go to school and be with everyone else.

Despite her poor physical condition, she has aptitude for piloting Fafner. When she is selected to be a pilot, she feels she finally has the chance to prove herself to everyone, especially to Kazuki, whom she has a big crush on. Her desperate actions become a major impetus for everyone else's growth. She is the pilot of Mark VI (Sechs).
