Kanone

Kanone keeps her black hair bound in a long ponytail and wears the regulation Magic Special Forces uniform: a belted, collared tunic, gloves and boots in black, a gemmed black ascot, a draped cape, trousers, and the corps' emblazoned officer cap. Two stars worked into her collar pin mark her rank as vice-captain. At her side she carries the unit's standard casting implement, a sharp baton-like weapon fitted with a curved hand guard.

Kanone carries herself with courtesy, deferential toward her superiors and the nobility she deals with, as her exchanges with Denken and Glück show. She is devoted to her captain, Fräse, going so far as to keep a particular brand of cigarettes Fräse favors on hand despite having no apparent taste for smoking herself. That loyalty is tinged with a little wariness, too; she hesitates to report the damage Neu causes in the old Imperial Square.

During the National Foundation Day Festival, Kanone and Neu draw guard duty over the VIPs at a manor. When Neu stumbles onto Übel and Land in one of the rooms and flags them, Kanone first waves it off, taking the space for an empty one, but Neu's read on the pair as dangerous mages puts them both on alert. A stray Imperial Magic Academy badge on the floor gives her pause; she warns Neu that bursting in on a noble could humiliate them and earn a posting to some remote corner, so they hold back. Only when she notices the badge is bent do the two force their way in, and by then Übel and Land are gone. Kanone sends Neu after them while she stays to comb the room.
