Kalia Kosei

**Kamen Rider Slash (formerly)**

**Kalia Kosei** (カリアコーセイ, *Kōsei Karia*) was **Kamen Rider Slash**, a club leader and florist. She is the sister of Nathan and Anita Kosei. After abandoning the Sword of Logos, she became the first user of **Kiba the Dark Knight** before her death.

## History

### Background

Kalia Kosei, The only daughter of the Kosei family, was always in love with plants when she went to her grandmother’s garden. She would always help her grandmother to help plant flowers, water them, and even pick out the seeds. For years she asked her parents to let her make a garden, but they always answered with “When you're older.” She never gave up as she always asked her parents. It wasn’t until that day her father died that she changed... She stopped asking for a garden, and was quiet, and shy for the rest of high school. When high school ended for her, she went to a  college away from her hometown to learn more about gardening. She was still quiet during her time in college as she met Janguru Wilson, a girl who wanted to become a detective, and also didn’t have a father. They became best friends as they always studied with each other, and hung out with each other.

### Meeting the Old Slash

One day, after school was done, Kalia was tending the college plants. She heard people screaming as she checked to see what the commotion was about. She saw a monster terrorizing the people as she saw that the monster was going to ruin the flower. She rushed to the scene to try to get the monster away from the plants, but failed as she kept on getting flown back. On the fifth time she got flown back, the monster snapped as it started to walk towards her, and raised its arms to try, and kill her. Kalia closed her eyes, and braced for impact, but she never saw it. When she opened her eyes, she saw a pink masked rider fighting the monster, and protecting her, also trying not to fight in the flowers. When the man used his sword, and destroyed the monster, he started to walk to the young adult as he de-transformed into an old man, and held his hand out to the girl. The old man asked her if she was alright, as she then asked who he was. The man replied that he was a swordsman that fights with sounds. Kalia was in awe at the man’s answer as She then asked the man about the monster as he answered that the monster was known as a Maggido, monsters that are bases on god beasts, animals, and stories. Kalia, curious about the blade of sounds, and Maggido, and where they came from, asked the man questions. The man then told her that he will answer her, but not in the school. The man took the girl to the park as he told her about the book of ancient, and the war between an Organization that has swordsmen like him, called the Sword of Logos, and the Megid. The man then said that he was getting too old to fight, so he decided to look for a successor to inherit his blade, the Onjuuken Suzune. While looking for a successor to inherit the blade, he saw the monster attack and her trying to stop and when he saw her bravery to protect even the little parts of life like the flowers and decided to make her the inheriter of the blade. Kalia wanted to help others, and keep plants from getting destroyed from the war, so she accepted the offer to become the next Kamen Rider Slash.

### Becoming Slash

For years after the two met, Kalia goes to the park to meet the old man for swordsman practice. It was going good, and Kalia even managed to find someone like her father that died, until that day happened. On the last day of school, when Kalia said goodbye to Janguru, she went to the park to see flames to the flowers. Surprised as what she was seeing, she went to look for her master as she went to a plain of grass, that’s when she saw it…. Her master on the ground bleeding, and a Maggido on the other side of the plain. She ran to the man as she tried to save him, but the man said that it was too late for him. The first swordsman of Suzune weakly pulled into his pocket, and pulled out two pink Wonder Ride books. He gave them to Kalia as he then said that she is the next person in the legacy of Kamen Rider Slash, and to create her own story, his eyes closed… forever as Kalia cried over her master. Her sadness then became anger as she looked at the megid, and picks up a bloody Suzune that was lying next to the corpse of the old man. She then remembered what her master taught her to transform as she opened the book with a picture of candy, and a gingerbread house before she closed it, and inserted it into the pink blade. She presses the trigger as she became Kamen Rider Slash. She charged at the monster as she started to slash it multiple times. The monster fought back as Kalia uses everything that she remembered from her master to destroy the monster. She de-transformed as she then looked sadly at the lifeless man as she left before coming back to the plain with a shovel as she decided to dig the man a grave. When she buried that man, she started to shed more tears as she left the plain, promising to destroy all megid that dares try to attack others. She moved beck to Briarswood as she heard about a teaching position for the gardening club that just started up in her old high school, now living with her brother Nathan, both not knowing that the other is a fellow rider.

## Personality

Kalia is a sweet, and calm woman. She’s shy, and anti-social, so she barely had any friends in school except for Janguru who was quiet, like her. She likes to garden, and study about plants, since she always had a fondness for them. Unlike her three siblings, she doesn’t get mad, or annoyed as easily. Kalia is good at taking care of plants to the point that people thinks that she can talk to plants.
