Biography
She was a common girl living in Tokyo, the second daughter of a middle class family, she was an excellent student but by the time she was in college she had been seduced by the ideology of the militaristic faction about a strong Japan ruled not by a corrupt Parliament. At the age of 18 she quit college and joint to the Rising Sun Legion.
She was a remarkable skilled volunteer as the officers of the Legion saw her natural talent to think in strategies and process information in the few seconds that decisiones had to be taken in battlefield. She quickly received the role of second pilot in a two manned mecha, a TS 18 the previous version of the TS 28. Her partner, Megumi Mirin, was a veteran and helped to improved her skills hoping to fight together some day.
But, during a battle 2 years ago, the mecha they were piloting received severe damages, the first pilot, who had been her mentor, died. She survived with many minor scars on the body and two big scars, one crosses the right side of her face and the other on her right lower ribs just behind her breasts. Those scars cause her pain still and she need to take analgesics, as her promotion to lieutenant and the responsibility to command her own mecha get closer she is developing a taste for strong analgesics which, until now, had not interfered with her duties. Although she had said she doesn´t care about those scars she hides them, the first under a lock of hair and the other is the reason why she never wear a bikini or such.
After that battle she was assigned to be second pilot for Saigo, she is awaiting to be promoted to lieutenant to pilot her own mecha as first pilot.
She follows the bushido code as well and feel herself as a modern warrior whose honor is based on her loyalty to their superiors and to the emperor (which, she believes is serving although he may not agree with it), also, she is an ideologically committed soldier who truly believes that a totalitarian and strong government is the way to stop the corruption and dependency of Japan to foreign powers. She is extremely close-minded in that topic, being even more stubborn than some of her superior officers, therefore she had no problems with defending their violent or xenophobist ideas.
