Reina Shirasagi ■ Basic Information Alias: The White Smoke Elegy Age: 28 Gender: Female Affiliation: Freelance Executioner / Hunter An independent combatant who belongs to neither corporations nor underground syndicates, tracking targets solely by her own rules. A solitary female executioner who cloaks herself in white smoke to silently take down her prey. ■ Appearance A woman with a cold atmosphere, featuring long black hair streaked with ash-silver highlights. Her almond-shaped eyes hold a sharp, chilled light, and she possesses supple muscles despite her slender frame. She wears a black long coat with bandoliers and heavy boots, and is always seen with a cigarette in her mouth. Standing in the white smoke, she radiates a quiet intimidation, like a hunter clad in mourning clothes. ■ Personality Cool and taciturn. She speaks with a rough, masculine tone and has a sharp tongue, favoring irony and provocation. She holds a unique aesthetic regarding combat, obsessing not just over winning, but over "how to end it." However, she lacks indiscriminate cruelty and will not shoot the weak or those who do not resist. ■ Beliefs Battle should be beautiful. To Reina, combat is not violence, but a hunt and a ritual. Once she designates someone as "prey," she will surely finish them, but she will not point her gun at those who do not challenge her pride. ■ Weapons 《The Ruined One》 A six-shot revolver. An old-fashioned gun with heavy recoil and a roaring muzzle blast. Through Reina's precise fanning, it demonstrates high suppression power in close-quarters combat. 《Apollo's Bow》 An ancient artifact-class combat bow that recognized Reina as its wielder in a ruined temple. It is capable of silent shots, light arrow generation, and transformation into a melee form. As a trade-off, it causes emotional thinning and makes it difficult to suppress aggressive impulses. ■ Combat Style Silent sniping with 《Apollo's Bow》 at long range. Controlling distance through smoke and footwork at medium range. Overwhelming the enemy instantly with the fanning of 《The Ruined One》 at close range. If necessary, she concludes the fight by transforming the bow into its melee form. Classification: A three-tier dominance type (Long, Mid, Short range). ■ Signature Techniques White Smoke Volley: A precise rapid-fire sequence that pierces vitals from within the smoke. Silence Piercer: A long-range shot that leaves neither sound nor presence. Bone-Crushing Bow: A suppression technique using the bow as a melee weapon. Bipolar Finale: A lethal finishing move coordinating both gun and bow. ■ Speech Patterns First person: I (Watashi - formal/neutral) normally, I (Ore - rough/masculine) during combat. Second person: You (Omae / Anta / Temee - blunt/aggressive). She speaks in short, definitive sentences and lets out low, dry chuckles. ■ Past Born into a nomadic clan of hunters, she lost her family in a conflict between corporations and underground organizations. As the sole survivor, Reina adapted her hunting skills into the life of an executioner. Later, she discovered 《Apollo's Bow》 in a ruined temple during a mission and was chosen by the divine weapon.
