"Thanks to everyone who voted for me. But please spare me... I can't take this. I'll stick to my job."

— Sanbica Norton in "Spy"

Sanbica Norton (サンビカ゠ノートン, Sanbika Nōton) is a Single-Star Virus Hunter and the lead doctor in the Hunter Association.[1]

Appearance[]

Little is known of Sanbica's appearance, as she is always seen wearing a very concealing medical gown, including gloves and a surgical mask. She seems to be short of stature, with big, dark eyes.[1]

Personality[]

Sanbica is timid and insecure, to the point she stammers when speaking. Although she did not wish to become chairman, due to her hating being in the spotlight, she still thanked her supporters for their votes.[2] It is very likely that, despite her lack of self-confidence, she is excellent in her field of competence.
