Designated pilot of the mecha "Tiamat-FL (Feather Light)" BACKSTORY: Daughter of a noteworthy old money family from the Shepherd Republic; Parents perished in an airship accident when she was a child; Her status and the multi-generational fortune she was bequeathed were stripped from her through fraudulent means; Despite losing her social standing, her two servants Gren Sacher and Calua Napage remained by her side; Got taken in and raised by Bruno Dondurma promptly after losing everything; The trio were eventually formally hired as hunters by Bruno and given jobs under Kurvaz's Special Operations Unit, because he saw potential in them TRAITS: 20 years old; Not evil, only pretty mean at her worst; Chipper about her work while she's in the middle of doing it, but some jobs leave a bad taste in her mouth afterwards; Considers Kurvaz her home, wishes that it could clean up its act and operate normally someday; Surprisingly nice to her crew and subordinates; Takes debts she owes to others earnestly, sticks to her word when telling someone that she'll repay them for their help; Feels indebted to Bruno for getting her off of the streets, respects him greatly and is willing to follow his orders even when she finds them distasteful; Always addressed by her subordinates and crew as "my lady" or "Lady Opéra"; Addresses Bruno as "Master Bruno"; Takes offense to being called "princess"; Bad at operating most electronic devices; Talented at piloting the Tiamat-FL but has zero understanding of whatever is going on under the machine's hood;

Single blue spike protruding outward from each armband COAT: Sleeveless purple longcoat; High collar; Silver two-way zipper down the middle, partially unzipped on the top and bottom to reveal a bit of the neck and crotch areas of her pilot suit beneath;

Purple with white accents; Regal-looking, resembles a woman wearing a jūnihitoe; Equipped with a laser cannon and airborne homing mines; Best suited for long-range engagements, struggles when fighting up close; Configured for vertical take off and landing; Hovers more often than not, but also able to walk KURVAZ: Hunter's guild operated like a crime syndicate; Largest guild in the Shephard Republic; Led by its Guild Master, Bruno—an old male German shepherd; Achieves results through intimidation, threats, and blackmail; Commits crimes covertly to avoid tarnishing their public image; Avoids straight-up murder as it's a hassle to cover up; Emblem is a minimalist white paw print SPECIAL OPERATIONS UNIT: Handles shady work for Kurvaz;
