Ichinose Haruna.
She was the current Priestess of the Ichinose Family and the leading candidate to become the next Saint. Although the power of the Saint had yet to manifest within her, practically everyone believed she would eventually inherit it, considering how talented and accomplished she was compared to her younger sister.
In fact, most people were so confident in Haruna that they hardly even considered the possibility of Hiyori becoming the Saint instead. As far as they were concerned, the outcome was practically guaranteed, and there was little reason to doubt what seemed like an obvious conclusion.
The reason for their confidence was simple. Haruna had accomplished so much throughout her life that it was difficult for anyone to imagine her losing to someone else, especially when the other candidate was her own younger sister.
