Louise Aklaev is a minor character in *Ovine Replica: Serenity in Flesh* and an officer of the Master Order Trained Hire.

## Profile

*She hasn't seen action for long, but that won't stop her from taking whatever risks necessary to get what she wants when she wants it. Because of her strong will and unfaltering commitment, it might be inevitable that she ends up butting heads with Ecout's reluctance.* — The official site

## Appearance

Louise is an 18-year-old girl with brown hair and brown eyes. She wears the jacket of her MOTH uniform closed with a black belt that has a silver belt buckle. She wears a blue checkered neckerchief and beige trousers that are tucked into her gray boots. She keeps her MOTH-style shortsword attached to the front right side of her belt.

After the events of Chapter 2, her sword is taken away from her.

In Ovine Archetype, she removes the MOTH armband from her uniform.

In the Ovine Archetype epilogue, she wears the same blue checkered neckerchief along with a beige vest over a short-sleeved blue gray button up shirt.

## Personality

Louise is rash, often immediately pointing her weapon at her target regardless of any orders. She has a bit of a jovial side, willing to help out Ecout Kanovos in return for a limeade, but her loyalty to the MOTH runs deeper, willing to risk her life to kill Ecout for his betrayal. Her position in the MOTH provides her with a sense of justice, defending her actions in Chapter 1 as simply following orders for the good of society.

In Ovine Archetype, her sense of justice causes her to question her loyalty to Letat Saiskaya who has warped the MOTH into his own personal guard and decides to betray him.

## Plot

### Home

In Chapter 1, Louise is not present but is later revealed to be the MOTH soldier who takes Carol Kanovos in for questioning.

### Scout

In Chapter 2, Louise along with a squadron of MOTH soldiers take Ecout, Otis, and Carol from the Fortune-Teller to the base of the rebels. The squadron arrive outside the base of the rebels and Joanne Edison, one of the rebels, takes one of the MOTH soldiers hostage and demand the rest, including Louise, to give up their weapons. Melanie Callisto, leader of the Warriors Against State Persecution, reveals herself in front of the now tied-up squadron.

### Displacement

In Chapter 3, Ecout frees Louise in order to watch his back from a distance during his hunting session with Melanie Callisto and Otis in case Melanie betrays Ecout. Ecout returns to Otis and Melanie and the three go out onto the streets of Enonoia.

After walking around in circles for a while, Melanie reveals her plan of taking advantage of the Berserk's attacks on MOTH soldiers to obtain fuel for Otis. Louise overhears this conversation and assumes that Ecout orchestrated a series of killings with the Berserk to seize control of the government. Louise appears from her hiding place and points a MOTH-style crossbow directly at Ecout. After failed attempts to plead with her, the Berserk arrives as predicted by Melanie. Otis and Melanie escape, leaving Louise and Ecout to deal with the Berserk. Louise's crossbow shots fail and she flees once the Berserk starts charging at her.

### Retaliation

In Chapter 4, Louise helps Letat, the king of Enonoia, find the location of the WASP headquarters. She is present during the raid and is teleported away at the end by Erika Callisto in her Ursine Science form.

### Cycle

In Chapter 5, Louise is present at the first MOTH station that Ecout and Otis teleport to. Despite Letat's order to the MOTH to ignore the two, she attempts to threaten them but fails and leaves.

### Replica

In Chapter 6, Louise follows Ecout, Otis, and Carol into an abandoned building as they were chasing down Erika. Carol catches Louise off guard and holds her sword up to Louise's neck. Carol switches places with Ecout, intending for him to kill Louise and provide Otis with fuel.

In the normal "Spare Enonoia" option, Ecout kills Louise, allowing for Otis to have fuel and grant Ecout's wish of turning Erika back to normal.

In the hidden "Abandon Enonoia" option, Ecout spares Louise and Otis will kill Carol instead to obtain fuel. During the confusion, Louise flees.

### Ovine Archetype

In Ovine Archetype, Otis stops Ecout from killing Louise, who flees after Letat seizes control of Ursine Science and begins using it.

The next day, Ecout and Melanie arrive at the Enonoia palace to save Otis who was kidnapped by Letat in the morning. Ecout encounters Louise, who decides to betray Letat. She escorts Ecout and Melanie to Otis under the guise of having captured them until they encounters Joanne, who has defected to the MOTH. Louise and Joanne engage in combat and Ecout and Melanie run away to where Otis is located.

    The epilogue of Ovine Archetype takes place several days after the battle at the Enonoia palace. Ecout, Otis, Carol, and Louise spend their evening together at the Peacemaker. They order drinks and chat for a bit, listening to how people consider the events of the past few days to be one big nightmare. Louise is revealed to be with the reformed police force and offers a job back to the now jobless Ecout.
