Appearance

Her costume is the loudest thing about her: a pale blue bodysuit buried under white gear, with matching gloves, boots, and a chest rig that mounts a pair of drone-styled wings at her back. A blue visor covers her eyes, carrying a communicator so she can talk to her teammates and throwing a green heads-up overlay that follows whoever she is watching.

Underneath it she is a young woman whose brown hair is slicked back and gathered into a ponytail.

Personality

The story keeps her at arm's length. Almost nothing about her temperament has been shown, and what little there is comes through in how she works rather than what she says: a support fighter embedded in a team that depends on coordination, holding a position where the job is watching and relaying instead of striking.

History

She arrives as one of Tensei Ida's people, working under the Ingenium name as a sidekick and a professional in her own right. Her recorded field action comes during the Vs. Queen Bee Arc, when Team Idaten fights alongside the Naruhata Vigilantes against Batto Yobayakawa, the Bat Villain.

She first turns up in the seventh chapter of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes and reaches the screen in the fourth episode of its adaptation. Hinako Takahashi voices her in Japanese and Brianna Roberts in English.
