Chiffon the Cowering Powerhouse
In chapter 4 Chiffon stands up to Satellizer, then immediately cowers behind her sidekick. Several chapters later, we find out that Chiffon is the strongest third-year of the campus. She should have no reason to fear Satellizer. So why would she cower from Satellizer's Death Glare?

That's actually her Reasonable Authority Figurehood shining through. Chiffon has observed Satellizer for long enough to know that she doesn't respond well to any attempts to bludgeon her into submission.

Instead, Chiffon tries to, y'know, reason with her. "This is a violation of school regulations. Cease and desist, please." The cowering is mostly there to make it clear to Satellizer that Chiffon neither intends nor wishes to fight her.

And it works. Satellizer responds much better to people who nicely ask her to stop.
