Kokonoe Mercury

Kokonoe is a scientist at Sector Seven.

Information
Tager's and Lambda's superior at Sector Seven, and also formerly Litchi's. She is half beast-man and the daughter of Jubei and Nine, two of the six heroes, though she shows unexplained disdain for this fact, supposedly "staying angry for weeks" when Jubei is mentioned. Kokonoe is a rather serious and cynical woman with no regard for emotions, and always strives for Tager to complete his missions without fail; however, she can on rare occasions be quite personable, mostly around her creations.

She's displayed and perceived as cranky most of the time. She has a deep hatred for Terumi, because he killed her mother, Nine, and her aunt. She and Taokaka possess a few similar personality traits, something that most note as 'more in common than they realize', due to their impatient nature and short attention span. She also has a strong dislike of Hakumen, but cooperates with him because she needs the Susanoo Unit to defeat Terumi and can't figure out how to seperate him from it.

Appearance
Kokonoe appears as a fairly young adult catgirl with a slim build. She has pink hair which she keeps tied in a specialized style consisting of a long ponytail backing up longer tufts resembling large cat ears which tend to overshadow her actual animal-like ears, which fade into white at the tip. Her attire consists of an altered, scientist version of the usual Kaka jacket with a white coloration. A hole at the lower base provides room for her twin, cat-like tails.

The over-sized sleeves are cut at the sides to make it easier for her arms to slide in and out of them. She wears a pair of red short-sleeved pants with a black belt adorned by a large cat bell. The attire is completed with a pair of white shoes with no vamp, allowing her to take them off almost reflexively as her render shows her barefoot.

Abilities
Despite being active on the battlefield as much as any character, Kokonoe does not display any combat prowess. Her forte comes in the form of her grand knowledge of magic and science and being the the daughter of Nine supplements this. While she has not shown any of her own creations, her prowess as a scientist is frightening, her alterations to organic and non-organic matter being second to none, even causing the normally ruthless and intimidating Hakumen to shudder at the promise of an 'upgrade' from her. Her prominent works thus far have been the revival of Tager through cybernetics and the activation of Lambda by bonding Nu's soul to the empty homunculus.
