asaka narumi Age 18-19 Gender Female Height 5'6" Build Slim, acrobatic first impressions Visual: Asaka has a light but strong build typical of an acrobat or trapeze artist, and has blue hair that goes to her upper back along with paler blue eyes. She doesn't have any visible scars or markings, but it may be possible to note that she's stronger than she looks considering her circus hobbies. Fashion: Asaka usually wears clothing that accentuates her figure somewhat, such as short skirts/shorts and high boots or heels, but not excessively (she often wears loose shirts, so easy movement seems to be her priority). Her usual outfit is the one pictured to the left, which she wears for most of the series when she's in casual clothes. There's somewhat of a dramatic flair to most of her outfits, since she's a performer at heart and tends to make that obvious whenever she can. She's rarely seen without lipstick or earrings, and most of her normal outfits also feature a collar. Demeanour: Asaka is generally polite and agreeable, since she often acts in the position of assistant to Ren or is doing his work for him. However, she doesn't hesitate to be assertive or put people in their place if she considers them to be out of line. Her body language tends towards the dramatic, considering she has a stage performance background, so she'll often make wide hand gestures, bows and similar theatrical motions as part of normal conversation. Sound: Asaka's voice is quite high and refined, and she generally keeps a rather level, polite tone in normal conversation (example here). It gets a bit more curt if she's ill-at-ease, and higher if she's teasing. info Asaka's canonpoint is right at the end of Season 4 (so the end of the first Vanguard series), after the final timeskip, putting her about three months off turning 19. Asaka is a prominent member of Foo Fighter, the most successful training organisation for Vanguard fighters, and is the third member of Team Apex Limited Four, the top team made up of the four most powerful members of the organisation. Having been strongly dedicated to the leader of Foo Fighter, Ren Suzugamori, since she joined, much of her motivation comes from her desire to stay alongside him and live up to his standards. Due to this, she serves as a villain in the first season of Vanguard, though eventually comes to her senses when Ren's impending villainous breakdown leads him to kick her off AL4 for a loss even though it served his purposes. Even so, they reconcile and she continues to idolise him despite having seen him at his worst. As a result of Ren's laziness, Asaka often has to pick up his slack, and thus she defaults to administrative and leadership positioning in most situations due to her experience with it. She won't hesitate to order others around if she considers herself to be more experienced, and tends to be open about her disappointment in those who don't live up to her standards. Carrying the nickname of "Assassin" within her team, she's known for her flexible strategies and ability to read others' intent, which generally makes her difficult to pull one over on (unless you're Ren). However, she's also very much a crowd-pleaser, and her demeanour in fights is always focused on entertaining the audience as much as possible. abilities Asaka has no supernatural abilities, but due to her chosen clan for her deck being Pale Moon, a dark circus that hides various assassins and monstrosities, she is considerably skilled with various circus acts. She's shown in canon to be skilled at trapeze artistry (along with the related equipment knowledge needed for someone to keep their own trapeze setup) and knife throwing (able to throw several knives at once accurately), as well as sleight of hand tricks usually done with her cards. In addition, her interactions with her units (and the fact that the majority of her avatar units have whips as their main weapon) imply that she also has skills in using a whip and potentially in the area of lion/animal taming. As far as more mundane skills go, Asaka is shown to have a respectable knowledge of coding (as she and another character write a complex program together in Vanguard G that's mentioned to be functional, just not optimised for the job), and she's generally skilled in administrative areas in part due to having to pick up Ren's slack. Her sharp eye for tactics, reading people's moves and the ease with which she can create strategies to counter them has also earned her the in-universe nickname of "Assassin". permissions code credit
