Intelligence: Gifted (Born in the country of Kazdel, ravaged by a civil war in its history, W learned to survive within the harsh land all by herself, to which Hoederer claimed that she is an experienced one. After joining up with Hoederer's group, she became such a feared mercenary that she was put on a big bounty by other mercenaries, and Ines even stated that she was too 'qualified' to be oneDarknights Memoir; DM-1 After. Her tactical acumen was rated as "Outstanding" and her combat skill as "Excellent" which likely put her on par with Rhodes Island's most skilled Operaters, such as Blaze. She has 11 years of combat experience, which likely stems from her fighting in the recent Kazdel war.

Special Ops force all by herselfEpisode 02; 2-10 AfterEpisode 03; 3-1 Before. She was able to dodge and analyze Talulah's invisible flames, which most wouldn't be able to figure out. Additionally, W was also able to infiltrate Reunion high rank, second only to the Leader, and act as a spy long enough until her fight at TalulahEpisode 07; 7-19)

W Elite 2.webp|After receiving Rhodes Island's permission, a certain dangerous person received a lot of dangerous weapons. She happily tinkered with these weapons to make the best use of them whenever needed. Even working with these ruined industrial products never left a trace on her clothing — or rather, she prepared a lot of embellishments to maintain her disguise with ease. - W's E2 Art
