"*Who have I been fighting for all this time?*"
—Natsuha Inose's cry for help to Arvus

***Natsuha Inose*** is an Ultima-Japanese female SPEC who was once the Second-Ranked (and briefly First-Ranked) Class 10.

Natsuha was born in Ultima City and was chosen at a young age to partake in the curriculum. Inose is secretly known for her Dark Infinite Project participation 6 years ago, and has been traumatized ever since, seeking the worst for people that were once involved with the project.

Natsuha is one of three main protagonists in ***A Mystical Divergence***, debuted on the pilot episode.

## Overview and background

### **The Road to Class 10**

"*Zeus was one of the best Class-10 anyone had ever seen. Mesaki was a different beast, and Megumu-senpai was a heroine for most people... including me.*"
—Natsuha Inose to Ritsune Nonomura about the Class 10 that came before her
Natsuha's origins trace back to Ultima City, born to both a SPEC mother and father. Her extraordinary potential was recognized at the age of 3, leading to her selection for an advanced curriculum. From Class 2, she rapidly climbed to Class 6 by the time she turned 8, earning her a reputation as a remarkable and showy child in her district.

Her optimistic and cheerful nature endeared her to many, including her role model, Megumu Shiena, the Fourth-Ranked Class 10. Unaware of a secret project being devised by the city's authorities, Natsuha and Megumu continued their strong bond as aunt and nephew.

One fateful day, Alice Ultia approached Natsuha's parents with an invitation to join the project, falsely claiming it would enhance her abilities and SPEC. Eager to see their daughter become a future Class 10, they consented. Little did they know that this decision would alter Natsuha's life drastically.

### **Dark Infinite Project Arc**

"*Out of all the 476 fights I've done against Divo, I only won 3 of them. That's how big the skill gap between the first-ranked and the second-ranked is..*"
—Natsuha Inose to Joan Elise about her time during the Dark Infinite Project
The project turned out to be a nightmarish experience for Natsuha, leaving her deeply traumatized and mentally scarred. She underwent grueling experiments, fights, and battles against the Third-Ranked to unleash her full power, losing 473 times. Out of 476 fights, she only won 3 of them, just to show how absurd the skill gap was between them.

At some point in the Dark Infinite Project, she would show remarkable potential after taking SPEC-boosting drugs. The drugs were mostly distributed and made by Thijsen Weegman, otherwise known as Heaven's Preventer. The SPEC-boosting drugs boosted her potential by 266% and allowed her to join the Class-10 rankings in just 7 months time, securing her Seventh-Ranked place.

### **Battle against the Maestera Organization**

"*I won't let another experiment happen! Not while I'm around! And I'll show it to you before you die! I may be a little teenager, but I'm a Class 10. And if no other Class 10 is going to take it down, I WILL!*"
—Natsuha Inose to her idol and aunt-figure Megumu Shiena
The Maestera Organization returned with their nefarious Program Des Nulls, spurring Natsuha to take them down at any cost.

Her dreams and future was totally crushed, and her becoming a Class 10 only brought her sadness and despair. To battle this sadness, she decided to become a vigilant person, getting back at the dark side of the city by going around and destroying small organizations that were initiating human experiments. She would do this for a year, until Megumu comes in with news that would change the city as they knew it.

The Maestera Organization came back from the shadows and fully completed Program Des Nulls, used to finish the Multi-Utilization Project. Hearing this made her sick to the stomach, and vowed to take the organization down for good. But fighting against this organization wasn't an easy task, as she was left with a worse damaged mentality and trauma.

Everytime she got beat down, she would sink deeper into her depression, and went as far as to commit suicide once, before being stopped by her senpai - Ritsune Nonomura. To lift herself up, and build up her confidence from scratch again - she decided to form a tag team, consisting of herself, Nazuki and her senpai - Ritsune. This tag team helped her conquer most of her fears and insecurities, and almost became the childlike, old Natsuha that she was before DIP.

### **Divine Empowerment Arc**

"*What's wrong with me?*"
—Natsuha Inose to herself after killing Segumi Bunraku
2 years after the Great Incident, she would come to terms with herself more, as she goes around fighting the dark side of the city still, saving people in need and providing extra support for the Hi-Quad, while also being a top-tier student in Artoria High. At some point, she would notice Miko Aoyami cornered in an alleyway. Knowing just how dire of a situation it was, she decided to save her, which allowed her to be friends with her, the first friend she would have since Ryousetsu Shinagawa.

Later, the city would get attacked by a renowned Magician sent by the UCMR. Their objective was to gather intel for a potential invasion of the city. As Segumi Bunraku was imprisoned, she decided to visit him in prison regularly, trying to get intel out of him and learn more about Magic. But she would feel remorse the more they talked, and would later get attached to him. She would even go as far as to help him break out.

After Segumi Bunraku broke out, Natsuha realized that she had made a huge mistake. Upon finding out that Kazuya Gray was greatly injured as a result of this, she would pseudo-awaken, reaching her limit, fueled by hate and anger. She would fight Segumi Bunraku and seal his first death.

### **Artoria Arc**

Days after her pseudo-awakening, she would be discharged from the hospital after learning that her OCR was greatly used to the extreme, and using her SPEC would glitch it out, giving her irreversible brain damage. To prevent this from ever happening, she would be supervised by Andrei Feng, who was hired by his sister to keep her from going MIA in the process. She would also be disallowed to go to school until her SPEC recovery reached 75%.

She likened this forced isolation to the COVID-19 widespread lockdown back in 2020, and would often look for ways to exit her apartment without Andrei's awareness. But Andrei would follow him everywhere, be it walking to the store, doing recreational stuff that was not needed for her SPEC to be used.

Upon finding out that Ryouse's clique fought Hosaka's clique, she would go to school on the last day before Spring Break, and would assist them together with Myrna o'Sullivan, who joined later on.
