Backstory: Hana Song grew up playing classic games with her father, himself a former professional gamer during his younger years. He was the one that introduced her to StarCraft, and her undeniable skill helped lay the foundation for her eventual e-sports victories in other games. Song has been friends with Dae-hyun since childhood. They would stay up late working on his hoverbike. Hana took part in a race with it and won, albeit at the cost of the bike and nearly her own life, due to its reactor overloading. Like her father before her, Song became a pro-gamer. She became a Mecha Guardian V player in high school, quickly ascending to the #1 rank, winning the world championship, surpassing her teammate Yuna Lee and rival Kyung-soo Hann. A fierce competitor, Song played to win at any cost, and gained a well-earned reputation for showing no mercy to her opponents. At home, however, not all was well, as MEKA struggled to maintain its defense against the Gwishin omnics that repeatedly attacked the nation. As the omnics continued to adapt, they eventually disrupted MEKA's drone-control networks, forcing the military to place pilots in the mechs. Scrambling to find suitable candidates, the government turned to the country's professional gamers, who possessed the necessary reflexes and instincts to operate the mechs' advanced weapons systems, in addition to standouts from other fields that required similar talents. Top stars were drafted, including the 19-year-old Song, along with Lee and Kyung-soo. She saw the new mission as a game, and an evolution of her own career. Without fear or hesitation, she abandoned the limelight of her pro-gamer career, and got an armored mech operator's licence. As a member of the MEKA Squad under the command of Captain Myung, she could put her reflexes to the ultimate test on a real battlefield, instead of a digital one. Her skills and intense competitive spirit made her an extremely effective pilot. Myung instructed Song to consider all threats, not just the ones right in front of her. Song now fearlessly charges into battle alongside the rest of her MEKA unit, ready to spring to her nation's defense at a moment's notice. Not long before the Second Omnic Crisis, she began to stream combat operations to her adoring fans, and her growing following turned her into a global icon. Sponsorship deals and her fanbase provided her with the means to customize her mech, such as Nano Cola. At some point she also played one of the leading roles in the movie Hero of My Storm. As an active member of the military, Song was no longer able to freely travel as she could've as a civilian. She became an avid reader of Mei's Adventures, the publicly-posted travel journal of climatologist Mei-Ling Zhou, fascinated with all the different places Mei has seen.

• Tokki: A Large Pink Mech with Two Arms that have Triple Barreled Fusion Cannons with Endless Supply of Green Energy Rounds. The Big Pink features a few MEKA logos on it. The Mecha has Two Backwards Bending Legs and Multiple Boosters on the back which allow it to Fly. To get in the Mecha, the large hunchback opens up and Hana slides in, laying down in the center of the mech which she controls with two joy sticks, having buttons on them which are reminiscent of a gaming controller. Lastly, Hana can eject out the back of the mech and engage a self destruct mode which allows the mech to explode and take out multiple enemies.
