History
Her mastery of guerrilla fighting and terrain traces back to combat waged in the South American jungles, where she was attached to the research-and-development wing of the Kodansu Corporation. Aramaki first noticed her after a battle left her whole unit dead and she alone fended off the assault. Once Kodansu folded and the Japanese government seized what it left behind, she signed on with the Fukuoka police, and by 2030 Section 9 had recruited her, a role in which her work has shown her to be both inventive and lethal.
