Ishu Benikawa

"'Feelings can't be put into words.' - Ishu Benikawa"

Ishu is the captain of the postal airship, Zanbani.

Appearance
Ishu is a tall woman with fair skin, green eyes, and dark blue hair tied with a yellow ribbon. She is usually seen wearing a lavender crop top with diaphanous sleeves, a red sash over black skin-tight shorts, and tall brown boots. She can also be seen with a long, green jacket at times and glasses, which she at one point blames on her age.

Personality
Ishu is incredibly strong willed, independent, and prone to anger.

Biography
Ishu is first seen reading a passage from an unknown book in her room aboard the Zanbani. After she casually looks out her window with her binoculars, she spots over twenty government inquiry ships and immediately tells Ahm to check the radar. After messaging the ships and receiving no response, she orders Ahm to find a nearby dock to land and orders Akushiba to wake up Nakiami so that she can scout ahead. Once Nakiami wants to take a closer look at Sentan Island, however, Ishu quickly becomes angry and orders her not to go, but Nakiami goes anyway.

Later she is shown waiting on the docks of Sentan Island, fuming and impatient due to Nakiami's absence. It is only when Hinokimaru points out Nakiami's return does Ishu show signs of relief and calming down. This doesn't last, however, as she is quick to later threaten to throw Akushiba off the Zanbani in order to lighten the load.

Nakiami
Ishu's relationship with Nakiami can be described as rocky, at best. She seemingly has no problem calling Nakiami a 'bitch' and an 'attention whore' after she simply asks to go take a closer look at Sentan Island. However, she has shown to care for Nakiami greatly.
