Kanako Kuga

Crazy Otaku Girl

Kanako Kuga was a middle class highschool girl from Toronto who Awakened and wound up on the NWO high priority shortlist. The combined efforts of Takezo Kenshin, Tia Mazu, and Proteus managed to scoop her out of trouble and she wound up going to Winnipeg, then New York, then back to Winnipeg, before finally ending up in Vancouver. She is the reincarnation of Miho, an Akashic lady samurai involved in the Opium Wars.

A high level otaku, Kana's orphan paradigm actually revolves around anime tropes and cosplaying. She has few quams about foisting her hobby onto anyone nearby. All in all, it's probably a good thing she didn't wind up going Marauder.

Cosplay Egos

Black Rock Shooter Kana

Some kind of a dark, icy, loli tsundere who goes to school in serafuku as "Natalie Lamperouge" by day. (This makes Natalie a cosplay-within-a-cosplay.) Her concept is a zippy sword-wielding city guardian with blurring speed and an obviously magical left eye.

Effects: Gains a dodge pool of four dice against flying metal projectiles.

Other

Generic Maid - Cobbled together from her new school's drama class assets. Seen briefly on the sidelines during the battle with Baitoboss.

Hong Meiling - Made for Tia at Pam's urging. Given Tia is an Akashic Kungfu fighter, it is oddly appropriate. It has no special powers. Yet.
