Master Jima is a tiny woman, but she’s extremely powerful: she’s the head of Sinegard Academy and is a former military commander. She resumes her role in the military when Nikan and the Federation of Mugen go to war. Jima demands total loyalty from her students, as well as complete honesty. Students caught trying to cheat on the Trial tests disappear, and it’s implied that when Han disobeys her order to stay at school and leaves to help his family members fight the encroaching Federation, she’s essentially expelled him and has no plans to let him return.
