Vanette, Lisa
Niece of AD Police Chief Toodou, Lisa is 18 when we meet her at the end of 2033. Although still at school, she intends to follow in her father's footsteps and become a photojournalist. After an unfortunate incident, she vows to expose the true identity of the Knight Sabers and uses her uncle in an attempt to visit boomer crime scenes where the Knight Sabers are likely to appear.
Lisa discovers that Nene is one of the Knight Sabers, and almost drives her into a nervous breakdown in her attempts to prove it. However, a meeting with Sylia and the bravery of Nene in her attempt to save the AD Police from destruction at the hands of Dr Miriam Yoshida and his boomers convinces her that the Knight Sabers are in fact on the side of good.
