Ex Machina: Minerva/Biography

Minerva was in development around the time of 2199, several years after Kokonoe obtained the blueprints for Ignis during the Phenomenon Weapon Dispossession Operation. In the February of 2200, she was created and put into an artificial reality with Celica A. Mercury - the two became quick friends inside this space and began training against copies of Lambda-11, Carl Clover, and Nirvana. They eventually stumbled across Relius Clover and Ignis, who they believed to be data copies but were an Observed reality. Kokonoe soon implemented herself in the program and battled against the duo to continue adjustments before deleting the world. In the real world, Kokonoe continued the adjustments on Minerva and asked her to protect Celica at all costs. BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma Extend, Arcade Mode, Celica A. Mercury - reason for being

Kokonoe finally deployed Minerva in the real world to protect Celica when she was near the Kushinada's Lynchpin. Upon arriving, she blocked an attack from Nu-13 that had been aimed at Noel Vermillion; Minerva evacuated her wielder to the surface, the 5th Hierarchical City of Ibukido.

Minerva accompanied Celica before they were both taken inside the Embryo. Her memories were not affected by the intervention and nor were Celica's. Through her wielder's terrible sense of direction, they ended up in Bascule, in the 13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi and met Naoto Kurogane whom they ended up travelling with.

Minerva also gave her mistress some reassurance when she believed she had deeply upset Carl Clover. BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 007, Chapters 051 – 054
