Bullet (BlazBlue)

Bullet is a woman with tan skin, short and spiky gray hair, golden eyes, and a scar across her nose. She's taller than every other playable female character in the series, but this isn't always visible due to her stance in combat. Bullet has large breasts and hips which don't fit her clothing very well. Bullet is always seen wearing her squad's uniform, which consists of a black jacket with gold trim and buttons, a small white shirt, brown steel-toed boots, brown fingerless gloves, and denim hot pants. Her jacket has a badge with the emblem of her squad on the right sleeve, and she wears a belt which is much too large for her waist and thus dangles behind her in a manner resembling a tail. She wears Smash Hail on her left arm, and a golden metal gauntlet with a round spiked elbow guard on her right.

The mercenary squad that raised Bullet is her pride and joy, and she fights to preserve their memory. Having been raised by them, she is slightly ignorant of the world that surrounds her, relating everything she can to combat. Likely due to her upbringing, Bullet behaves in a very militaristic and literal manner, taking an aggressive approach to almost everything. One member of the mercenary squad she was raised in was of demi-human heritage, so it is unknown what spurred later behaviors.

Bullet's single-minded determination in avenging her squadron is what keeps her going, and anything else is something she is not concerned with, even including the bounty of Ragna the Bloodedge. Because of the way she acts, Bullet is a lone wolf who does not usually interact with others. Everyday tasks are approached with a military precision and mindset, and she is concerned with even the smallest details relating to tasks. Her personality is best described as straight-forward, frank, yet hotheaded as she is quick to lose her temper when things do not go her own way.

She frequently becomes impatient when things aren’t progressing as quickly as she expected and becomes increasingly hostile as a result, threatening a civilian when he began panicking during her attempt to interrogate him for information. This determination has sometimes clouded her humanity, and she even risked the lives of innocent civilians in her hunt for Litchi Faye-Ling, later lamenting over the decision. Bullet is also shown to be slightly racist towards beastmen/demi-humans. This is shown in her Arcade battle against Valkenhayn R. Hellsing, where she asks him if he knows where Kokonoe is due to the both of them being beastmen. As well as this, she also remarks how she won’t hold back against a non-human who smells of blood, stating they should be killed. This incident is isolated and Bullet has not demonstrated this behaviour before or since. In her win quote against Makoto Nanaya, she shows no real qualities of harboring racist tendencies; yet, this does not stop her antagonizing the race in her search for Kokonoe. Outside of anything pertaining to her mission, Bullet has only expressed hatred once, and it was vehemently aimed at Amane Nishiki who had been responsible for her dancing for three days and nights straight because of a simple mistake.

Bullet has very little experience in anything that isn’t related to combat, warfare or her own personal history. She doesn’t feel ashamed of her outfit even when other characters consider her costume to be very revealing, this is mainly because Bullet doesn’t even know what is 'normal' attire and is loyal to wearing her military uniform. Although she is outwardly professional, there have been times when Bullet drops her personality and becomes flustered. Her uniform, when questioned about its design, is enough to make Bullet stutter as she defends it, but anyone who attacks it is risking a life-long grudge (even rescuing her outfit from inside a garbage truck when Litchi stole it in a gag scenario). Bullet also seems unaware about her attractive figure, even when rude characters make direct references to her (Tao calling her “Butt Lady” and Ragna calling her “Butt Floss”). She is oblivious to and confused by Kagura’s inappropriate and perverted comments throughout most of the episode. Yet while Bullet has no shame in her own appearance she has, in a hypocritical manner, criticized the sexual outfits of other characters like Makoto and Platinum.

Underneath her icy and militaristic attitude, Bullet is actually good-hearted. For all her negative qualities, Bullet is not a deliberately bad person, but someone who has a heavy duty upon her shoulders that can cloud her moral compass, although she is quick to realize her own mistakes. However, since her usual demeanour is unusually ill-tempered and antisocial, most of the cast are generally unaware of her softer side. During her brief travel with Bang Shishigami, he noted how she was rather solitary and constantly on alert. However, she formed a good relationship with him as he managed to make her laugh and the two shared a similar history. She even has trouble smiling or laughing, only able to do so when Bang tries to humor her, only for her to laugh due to how hard he’s trying instead of the joke itself; this is actually taken to its extremes in her gag scenario. Also, Bullet admires authority figures who show strong audacity, leadership and tough love (as seen by Litchi who temporarily mimicked being a drill sergeant). In her free time, Bullet likes eating spicy foods, and doing embroidery.
