Karen Nishiyama, the third third-year student on the team, is incredibly skilled at kendo, but tends to shake when nervous. When she is cornered in a kendo match she instinctively switches to the offensive, thus effectively beating her opponent. Because of her instinct of going on offense when in trouble Karen is the strongest on her kendo team. Even though she is extremely skilled at kendo, she does not like the idea of fighting an opponent that she does not know in real life, and she will attempt to run away when she is nervous.    source: wikipedia

Amemiya Mariko is a First Lieutenant in the Imperial Japanese Royal Guard, with her Imperial Court rank being a hereditary vassal to the Shogun. She is the second in command of Takamura Yui's White Fang squadron—White Fang 2—and a close friend of hers. Amemiya is older than Yui and could be considered a calming influence, but is very precise in her work.

During Yui's participation in the XFJ Program, Amemiya presumably took temporary command of White Fang squadron and continued to support Yui's work on the Type-99 weapon from Japan.
