Bestisia Lorraine

Saluting

**Bestisia Lorraine**, is courageous and energetic and also the guitarist of the band **Artemis**. Bestisia is a transfer student from Paris, France who is interested in military training. Bestisia is currently a second year.

Outside of her classmates and bandmates, she interacts a lot with the girls from **Persephone**, especially with **Priscilla**, who is her childhood friend. She also kept contact with her other childhood friend, **Franzesca Boucaron**.

Bestisia joined the **Archery Club** along with her junior **Xoligan Warkovich** and her classmate **Daisuke Ashikaga** and **Jacob Cando**.

After **Ren** saved her from the local street thugs, Bestisia is interested in learning his techniques. After several days of pleading, Ren finally agreed.

Because of her bandage and her experience, Bestisia was politely recruited into the **Royal Fortune Pirates Club** by **Bakuzoku** and **Tadatsune**.

She gave a name to her guitar, she named it Metéore after she saw a shooting star the night she was "upgrading" said guitar into the guitar-gun she currently has.

## Background

Bestisia lived in Paris with his father, who was a former soldier and a hunter. Admiring her father greatly, she begged her father to let her join the country's military training. Her father took pride in his position, so he let her join.

Bestisia was treated badly by her first officer, but she persevered her training. The officer kicked sand into her left eye, and it occurred an infection on her eye. During the graduation test, she defeated her officer in a hand-to-hand combat, earning the respects of her fellow trainees and her other officers.

She moved to Japan because she wanted to search for Priscilla along with Franzesca and her father asked her that it's time to actually study for real, as she had promised him in the first place.

She was asked to decide a place to study and she chose **YamiTsume** **High** to enroll to. While thinking of what she wanted to learn and eventually become, she came across several buskers in one of **Kotō Prefecture**'s station. She then had an idea and then went home to ask her father if she could learn music. Her father has no problems with it, so the two went to a music shop the next day. She treasured the guitar and learned it by herself, with her father helping her, sometimes with her father joining in as well. She eventually becomes a busker and joined the local busker community. She helped gather money to donate for charities and bringing happiness to everyone.

## Appearance

During her times in her military training, she has short blond hair and gentle eyes. She has a beautiful smile and face, which brings the officer she trained under to envy her. She wears the French military trainee uniform.

After her graduation, she grows her hair out and her hair later reaches her thighs. She has bandages covering her left eye after the incident, but her smile never wavers. She wears soldier-like clothes on formal occasions but wears something casual for her daily life.

## Personality

Before and during her military training, Bestisia is a kind and polite girl. Even during military training, she cheered her fellow trainees and didn't cry or shout when her eye was infected. She constantly trained herself despite her pain, and pushed through until her graduation.

After graduating and reconciling with her father, she remains the gentle girl she was before, but her heart is braver than before.

After moving to Japan, she is interested to find out what she could learn in this country, which has a different feel to France.

She admired and idolised Joan of Arc with the entirety of her being. She disliked the ones who accused her and led her to her death. But after hearing that Joan died with no hatred, Bestisia learns to be like Joan. Bestisia also loves reading books and stories about historical events and legends.

## History

During the first band story, she befriended **Tamaki Katayama** and **King Rosenkreuz**. Bestisia, along with three other members, becomes the Founding Member of the **Music Club.**

During their visit to **St. George's Hospital** to see **Masaki**, she restrained **Kagura** after attempting to hit **Yuna**.

She also helped Fuyu and the others dive through the heavy storm in order to reach Yuna, who was extremely devastated upon hearing news of Masaki's death.

Bestisia is revealed to be easily surprised and hates awkward moments, as she could make strange faces to signify her confusion.

Bestisia supports Tamami's dedication to learning to play the keyboard, and she joins Yuna and Fuyu in comforting Ayaka about her remaining problems. Bestisia joins the meeting of the members of the Music Club to discuss about the name of the band.

Bestisia joins Yuna and **Gareth** to class 1-B to save Tamami from Mizuki's assault. Reaching the locked door, Bestisia and the furious **Genrai** kicked the door down and Genrai grabs her hair and prepares to punch Mizuki, but the injured Tamami tries to stop him from doing so, making Genrai furious and leaving the room. After Mizuki and Miezu left, Yuna and Bestisia went to the Nurse's Office to check on Tamami.

Several days later after Tamami fully recovers, the girls meets Mizuki in the Music Club, who is clearly afraid that her past actions has caused hatred, and is a bit regretful about it. However, Bestisia taps her shoulder and greets her warmly, allowing Mizuki to calm down, at least a bit.

During the day of their debut, Bestisia salutes to the members of **Entropy**. **June** tried to reply back by posing, but **Amagi** told her that she could ruin her image by doing so.

After the show, Artemis talked some more with Entropy. **Eliza**, one of the members of Entropy, warned them about Drasil's suspicious activities, and told them to be careful. After Entropy left, the five girls formed a circle and they swore an oath to fulfill their promises to people they deem important in their lives. In Bestisia's case, it's her father and her two childhood friends, Franzesca and Priscilla.

## Trivia

* Bestisia's other childhood friend, Franzesca Boucaron, moved to Japan to find her and Priscilla so that the three childhood friends could reunite again. Unfortunately, the three are in different classes.
* Bestisia could unconsciously give a salute after finishing a conversation, though she would realise it a bit later. Her friends would sometimes laugh at her clumsiness.
* She has perfectly healthy eyes, and can aim very well. (if her left eye was not infected, that is.)
* As a girl and a soldier, she is not afraid of small animals like rats and cockroaches. She, however, is extremely afraid of haunted houses and horror movies.
* She was a member of the 24th Squadron of her trainee unit.
* She will be caught in a state of panic if she is surprised, usually blurting out military-related things and saluting.
* The origins of her Guitar Gun are from her father, where he modified her guitar to remind her how proud her father is to have such a daughter, and it serves both as a symbol that Bestisia is both a musician and an excellent soldier.
* Her Guitar Gun shoots confetti at the end of each live. Fuyu allows that idea, because it's a bit unique.
