Asuka Koukawa

Asuka is a bit of a "gal", has a cheerful, bubbly and playful attitude most of the time, often joking how cute she is and how nobody should be mad at her if she messes up. She also has a childish, aggressive temper, that gets the better of her at times. She is upbeat and confident in her strength, to the point she can almost come across as careless. Not only that, but she tends to get bored quickly and is rather impatient, rushing things and endangering herself or equipment.

When teasing somebody, she exaggerates her movements and voice, and typically uses big gesture, but does all this only if she really likes somebody. Asuka like Sakura, uses a number of nicknames to the people she likes, and even for herself. However, also hides a fear of being abandoned and being left alone, either for doing a mistake or her current body. Asuka can be rather jealous and keeps an eye out for potential love rivals.

At times, Asuka is overwhelmed by situations making her act slower, but she can also analyze her surroundings and instinctively comes up with plans on the fly, her smarts only limited by her impulsiveness. Asuka also allows herself to bend the rules from time to time, and does not hesitate to use deadly force, if it gets things done. Though she is a believer of the Taimanin ideals of justice, she rather follows them as a rogue, to have the freedoms to act against Nomad. Unlike other Taimanin, she is also not that naive and able to work with criminals if it is required. Asuka is very competitive and wants her abilities as a Taimanin or woman recognized. She will lash out against those that, don't recognize her, for example "being viewed as just a daughter", is something she rejects. She will often smile, instead of stating her own sadness and wants on matters, like her missing limbs or missing day to day normal life.

In her youth, she used to be even more confident but blind to the bigger picture, she was unable to hold back or keep a low profile, she would often cause trouble helping people out or ignore suggestions of other Taimanin. At that time Asuka was very trusting and would be very quick to give her name but still was able to think critically and fast. She would sulk in her room if it came to disagreements but always apologized afterward.

Asuka gets serious when she thinks about her original family and the Koukawa Massacre, driven by revenge against those responsible, like Edwin Black. Her mood also changes into a very aggressive tone when Asagi is mentioned, as she feels betrayed by her. More so than others, Asuka is confident, in her body and tries to use her own sex appeal as a weapon and is less shy about this if confronting those she likes. Though she is popular, she only puts her interest in a few people.

She is a young woman with waist length, brown hair in a hime cut, blue eyes and a large bust. Asuka has 4 artificial limbs she can take off, near the middle of both upper legs and upper arms. Without them, she is a quadruple amputee, leaving only small stumps around the area of the upper arm and thigh. Asuka wears a pink battle suit when on duty, which keeps her back free.

While at Midoribashi Academy, she wears a blue uniform with a white chest piece and a red tie. As a civilian Asuka wears often at least one pink bit of clothing or pink underwear. As even her civilian arm Prosthesis, which looks more natural as mechanical joints, she prefers, to wear long knee socks and gloves.
