Clothes: When operating as a Lycoris, Takina wears her navy blue 2nd Lycoris uniform paired with black knee-high socks and brown loafers. When working as waitress at Café LycoReco, Takina wears a cerulean blue samue with dark blue and yellow accents, a dark blue kimono skirt, a beige apron wrapped around her waist, and has her hair tied into low pigails to make herself seem more approachable to customers.

History: Like all Lycoris, Takina was adopted by the DA as a young girl. Takina had used to be violent and cold-blooded, always shooting to kill and maim her enemies as much as possible so they can never be a threat or nuisance ever again. When an operation involving arms smugglers had gone wrong due to DA's AI being taken offline, Takina was used as a scapecoat and was blamed for the operation's failure by Kusunoki to deflect wrongdoing. Takina was then transferred from DA to LycoReco where the jobs are mostly about community service, something that requires a lot more empathy than Takina is trained to feel. Takina's efforts to get back into DA were fruitless from the start, as Kusunoki intended Takina to never return due to being a scapegoat. Chisato gets her out of her despair afterward by giving her a new home at LycoReco. By becoming partners with Chisato, Takina started to change and grows out of her cold and ruthless mindset, Takina turns out to be a reasonably nice individual. While her core personality as an even-tempered and rational introvert is maintained, Chisato's influence causes Takina to relax her entire approach to her life. Takina was let back into DA thanks to Chisato's influence, but Takina chose to quit DA altogether to be with Chisato and LycoReco.

Takina's weapon of choice is a Smith & Wesson M&P loaded with lethal ammunition. Takina has highly proficient in using firearms and is extremely accurate in her shots. Takina respects Chisato's non-lethal creed and takes down opponents by hitting them in nonvital points with her extreme accuracy.

Takina knows Japanese, English, and Russian and speaks in a formal fashion.

Takina holds the rank of 2nd Lycoris.

Takina is a sheltered Lycoris in regards to being a girl and sometimes has poor social skills. Takina once wore men's boxers because she took Mika's preference at face value, causing Chisato to make her wear proper panties, doesn't bat an eye when Chisato flips up her skirt, and has trouble picking up sexual innuendos.

Takina was taught by Chisato to value lives, causing Takina to become a much nicer and empathetic person. Takina is undoubtedly a caring and loyal friend, and thanks to Chisato's influence, she becomes more cheerful and friendly, also showing a playful streak around her and has an occasional streak of mischief.

Takina has a talent for finances and manages LycoReco's budget and finances.

One of Takina's special items on LycoReco's item is the "Hot Chocolate Parfait". Despite its great taste, Takina had unwittingly made her chocolate parfait resemble poo and did not realize the chocolate parfait's fecal appearance until it became viral and was too successful to be taken off the menu much to her embarrassment.

Takina keeps Chisato's tomfoolery in check.
