Wild Mane

Wild Mane, also known as Iwona Krukowska, is a member of the Pinus Sylvestris Knightclub and a valued member of Rhodes Island. Despite being afflicted with Oripathy, she undergoes essential treatment and actively supports Rhodes Island in combat.

Wild Mane's journey to Rhodes Island was not without its challenges. When she joined, her wounds were still healing, but her remarkable recuperative abilities allowed her to be actively involved. However, Rhodes Island initially refrained from assigning her tasks to ensure her well-being, which left her feeling somewhat downcast. Nevertheless, she displayed a great curiosity about her new environment and would use her free time to explore and engage in various activities.

One of Wild Mane's endeavors was the modification of her companion, "Justice Knight," a member of Pinus Sylvestris. Intrigued by Rhodes Island's Engineering Department research, she expressed interest in upgrading and adding voice capabilities to "Justice Knight." She eagerly visited the department every day, eagerly anticipating the progress. Finally, after some time, she witnessed "Justice Knight" deliver its first greeting, expressing gratitude to the engineering department and even offering some comical advice.

During the upgrade process, Wild Mane experienced a significant setback that caused her to avoid the Engineering Department until the final upgrades were completed. However, once "Justice Knight" began regular operation, she started to regain her spirits and improve her overall outlook.

Wild Mane's background reveals her family's legacy as loyal Kazimierzian knight-nobles. She was raised with high expectations and trained to become a campaign knight. Unfortunately, she contracted Oripathy while training in the countryside, which disrupted her path. Despite her family's abandonment, she resolved to move forward and find a new path. Her passion, hot-bloodedness, and unwavering dedication to battle remained unchanged even after becoming an Infected.

Wild Mane excels in speed and technique, using her exceptional reaction time and observational skills to quickly respond to opponents' moves. Her combat style perfectly complements her natural abilities. Although she feels the pressure of wielding great power, she embraces her family's genes and continues to grow, both physically and as a warrior.

While Wild Mane tends to avoid discussing her regrets, sorrows, and insecurities, she throws herself into battles in the underground arena to prove her strength and find meaning in survival. However, when she entered an official arena, she faced mockery and ridicule from other competition knights, which led to a heated conflict. Flametail and Ashlock intervened and helped her through the situation. Joining the Pinus Sylvestris Knightclub allowed her to confront her Infected status head-on and support Flametail's efforts for the Infected. Having a clear objective made it easier for Wild Mane to navigate her new life.

Wild Mane's loyalty lies with the members of the Pinus Sylvestris Knightclub. She holds Flametail in high regard and is willing to risk her life for her and the club. Ashlock is her drinking buddy and like-minded partner, providing a source of inspiration and understanding. Fartooth's calm and collected nature complements Wild Mane's personality, making their cooperation seamless. "Justice Knight" serves as both her pet and brilliant sidekick, often coming through in critical moments on the battlefield.

Despite her past, Wild Mane is satisfied with her current life and distances herself from her family's actions. She remains focused on training and improving her skills, aiming to use her power to help others and bring hope to more Infected individuals. She looks forward to the day when her abilities are recognized by the Radiant Knight through a duel.

Wild Mane wields a shelled lance with a unique major/minor-type design. The external fiberglass "major" is ideal for lance charges, while the interior "minor" is suited for close-quarters combat. She takes pride in her lance's design and dedicates herself to mastering its impact and battering abilities, despite the high maintenance costs.
