Sento Ashika

Ashika is the **Iha**, or second-in-command, of The Phantasma of Svarga, though she often works separate from Kakorra Kaira, who is the captain, heading her own unit as a secondary unit in case of emergency. (The Reserves)

Essentially, it is her job to sit back and wait during times of crises in the case of an unprecedented action or event, in which she would go with her squad to meet that event without straining those already on the field.

## Appearance

While on first sight one might mistake Ashika to be a member of the Oni Tribe, her horns are actually completely cybernetic, and they can disconnect from where they rest on her forehead. When disconnected, each of them expands in size, and they each take on the form of a hyper-mobile recon drone. They each feed information directly to Ashika's mind, and she can control them mentally as well. They each also carry a miniature sniper rifle when fully deployed, equipped with a full-silencer, allowing them to be used as makeshift tools for killing as well.

Ashika has long, silvery hair, and often wears a large red bowtie on the back of her head.

## Personality

Ashika is a sociable individual, and has gained the adoration of the population due to her tendency to being eager to help those in need, and showing off a caring personality when in public. She is perhaps the most popular of The Phantasma, almost akin to the status of an idol.

When alone or with close friends, she becomes less talkative and shifts over to more of a listening personality, and while retaining a strong sense of caring, she is more inclined to play the role of an observer rather than actively assisting others.

## Relationships

Due to being extremely popular, Ashika has a wide network of those who would consider her a friend or amicable acquaintance, though she herself only considers a select few to be her actual friends. This doesn't stop her from using her connections to her advantage, and playing the part of being a friendly to said connections, however on the inside it is simply an act of commiseration or obligation.

Kakorra Kaira - Ashika and Kaira get along very well, their personalities complementing with each other quite well. While the two are unable to work together often due to the nature of their positions, in the little time off they get the two spend it together if given the chance. When they do manage to fight together, their teamwork is exemplary, with Kaira taking the fore and Ashika the rear, making them a strong duo to contend with.

Amoro Kankera - Ashika spends a lot of time with Kankera, as usually the two sit back as most of the rest of the team are on missions and operations. While Kankera should technically be working as well, she slacks off often and distracts herself by interacting with Ashika. The two get along quite well, and they do many things together outside of work as well, often being seen together in public.

Saturn Rezka - While the military, and subsequently The Phantasma Brigade, work equally under The Council rather than being subservient to any specific individuals within the Fortune 5, Ashika has a deep adoration for Rezka, and often finds herself going out of her way to find missions that relate to his presence in some way, shape, or form. She is not that great of an engineer, so Rezka himself doesn't take any particular interest in her, however Ashika refuses to relent from this latria.

Keinen Shana - Likewise with Ashika's synergy with Kaira in battle, she also works very well when paired with Keinen Shana. They fight front to back as well, and they have additionally developed a combo technique that sees Shana coat the tips of Ashika's arrows with sharp crystal mid-air as they zoom by, something that the two have practiced mastering for quite some time. When Ashika and Kankera wander about, Shana often tries to tag along, or is sometimes forced to tag along, as well, with the three being found together quite often.

Takara Shiva - Ashika is an aspiring engineer, and thus often tries to get Shiva to teach her how to build things. Sometimes he agrees, though over time has held less and less faith in Ashika's ability to learn in the field, with failure after failure compiling into a record of losses. The two get along well enough, though Ashika becomes incredibly frustrated when her designs and builds fail to be seen through to the end.

## Abilities & Powers

**Social Butterfly:**

Ashika is very good at reading the situation, and can easily adapt her personality and demeanor to fit the situation as well. It usually remains ambiguously genuine, though this adaptability of masks makes her a very easy person to get along with, and many flock to her because of this. She is generally reliable, and knows just the right way to smile to make someone's day. From this ability, as well as her own natural charisma, she has found herself as an idol of sorts within the nation, bombarded daily with invitations to parties and events with hosts that all want her to be the star of their ball.

**Soran, Soran,:**

Ashika in her free time enjoys dancing of all sorts, and has gained a lot of experience within the field. She has a great natural rhythm, and is creative in her movements and styles, finding great enjoyment from letting loose to the music. There aren't many dancing venues outside of Jana District, so she spends much of her time there when possible, but has also found an interest in a game called "Dance Dance Social Uprising," a recently developed game by Empiria that sees the player dance to the moves presented on a screen, and Ashika has easily climbed the scoreboards where there are any.

**Just Let Me Build!:**

Ashika is an aspiring engineer. She loves mechanical technology, and has always dreamed of being able to create her very own machine. One of her objects of inspiration, obsession, and potentially infatuation, is Saturn Rezka, one of the leaders in the industry, and Ashika wishes that someday she can learn under him, or at least show him the fruits of her labor. Unfortunately for her, Ashika has absolutely abysmal skill in the field, and flunked out of the nation's engineering school twice before eventually joining The Phantasma Brigade. She vows to someday learn how to be a great engineer though, and she definitely puts in the work for her goal.

### Physical Prowess

Ashika is primarily a ranged fighter, however while most ranged fighters would prioritize agility and the ability to keep their distance from the battlefield, Ashika is unwavering if the fight comes to her, and easily transitions into a melee environment if one is presented to her. She is equally proficient in both ranged and melee combat, and to great degree, however she simply prefers ranged combat if given the choice.

**Speed and Agility**

## Equipment

Ashika wields two weapons:

The first is a stained red spellblade katana, which by itself is almost 70% of her own body length. The Spellblade holds the natural element of Fire, similar to those seen used by fire-type Blade Buzzes.

She additionally wields a Changeling Spellblade personally crafted for her by Saturn Rezka after she won one of his events, and it is an extremely rare type of weapon, able to both shift between the forms of a naginata and longbow, as well as having within it the natural element of fire, which can either be used to tip the naginata blade, or even be used to imbue arrows shot from the bow with flame. It's name is Agni.
