* Poppy

**Asuna Karino** is a nurse apart of the Ex-Aid Riders with Nico, Emu, Hiiro and Taiga. She's also known as **Poppy Pipopapo** by her fellow Bugsters.

As recorded by CR, Poppy is part of the Mid-Tier of Bugsters within *Kamen Rider Chronicle*: alongside Vernier, Kaiden and Gatton.

## History

The mascot of the Genm Corp. game *DoReMiFa Beat*, the character of Poppy Pipopapo was conceived by Kuroto Dan, the teenage son of Genm CEO Masamune Dan. As a Bugster, Poppy's origin is traced to the Y2K bug, which left what would be known as the Bugster Virus on the younger Dan's computer shortly following New Year's 2000. Secretly incubating the virus by infecting the young Emu Hojo with it, Kuroto Dan would arrange for its matured form to be extracted by Michihiko Zaizen ten years later, using it to execute the Zero Day incident in the following year.

The Bugster Poppy Pipopapo had already emerged by the time of Zero Day, having been born from the Bugster Virus infection of Kuroto Dan's mother, Sakurako Dan, her host's life was sacrificed in the process as she succumbed to the Game Disease, thus completing Poppy's existence as a Bugster, and Kuroto also regretting having lost his mother. She was later assigned to be a navigator for the Kamen Riders, taking the guise of "Asuna Karino" in order to blend in more easily.

### Kidnapping and Death

Asuna was hanging out with Tsukasa on one cold day before the two were attacked by Zamiga Delma. Unfortunately, the two lost, Asuna being frozen by Zamiga and eventually kidnapped.

## Personality

Poppy Pipopapo was created to serve as a guide to the Riders in CR. She provides insight on the Bugster viruses, the Rider system, and helps to transfer patients to CR if the situation requires it.

Poppy's true personality is bubbly and energetic. As Asuna, however, she takes on a mature and no-nonsense persona, although her normal personality will momentarily surface if she is addressed by her real name. But there have been times when Poppy as Asuna reverts to her true personality on her own free will. Despite being based on a Vocaloid, ironically, it is revealed Poppy cannot sing very well without music to accompany her and causes distress to those around her when she does. It is also revealed during an encounter with Kamen Rider Hibiki that she has a fear of Oni and ran away scared upon first seeing him.

**Toki Meki Crisis Gamer Level X**

**Toki Meki Crisis Gamer Level X** (ときめきクライシスゲーマーレベルエックス, *Tokimeki Kuraishisu Gēmā Reberu Ekkusu*) is Poppy's default form, activated by inserting the Toki Meki Crisis Gashat into the Buggle Driver II and pressing the small red button next to the Gashat slot. Initially sporting red eyes while serving *Kamen Rider Chronicle*, Poppy's eyes change to blue after her programming is reverted.

In this form, Poppy's stats are slightly lower than Genm-X, putting her on par with a Level 50 Rider. She only beats Para-DX Puzzle Gamer Level 50 in punching power, while losing to Brave and Snipe's Level 50, Genm-X, and Para-DX Fighter Gamer Level 50 in terms of punching and kicking power. Despite these disadvantages, her maximum jumping height and running speed is high, beating every Rider that can use Level 50 and Genm-X. She is also shown to be very flexible and agile, easily dodging Snipe's attacks with the Gashacon Magnum and counter attacking.
