Dute Serbanov

Dute is a first-year student at Franklin International High School and plays as a striker for the girls' soccer team. Dute is from Russia, and decides to come to Japan after Makie Komukai (who was then still playing in the Japanese national team) scouted her for the team. Dute initially struggled to get the grips with Japanese culture, however the help of her teammates stops her feeling homesick. Dute is usually down-to-earth and somewhat quiet. She does not feel the need to be the centre of attention and comes across as being genuine, however becomes very determined when playing football. Her powerful shots and very nature as a competitor is both admired and feared by teammates and opponents alike. Dute does, however, have a peculiar sense of humour, as she has a strange love of playing the “tsukkomi,” or 'straight man' in comedic situations. Dute has not yet totally shaken her Russian accent and occasionally throws Russian phrases into her speech. (Source: Mai Ball Wikia)
