Drum is a character from VS Knight Lamune & 40 Fire is a major character in The Knights of the Multiverse, introduced in Season 1. She is the "middle child" of Dr. Symphony's Droids, built to resemble an Olympic-type swimmer that has water-based attacks. She was originally made to serve the evil organization L.O.S.R. for the sole purpose of defeat their enemies. However, she ended up developing into somewhat of a free-spirit, leading to her questioning her mother's employers' motives and going onto join the ones she was made to destroy, the Crystal Knights.

## Personality

Drum is a very fun-loving young Droid that's (almost) always optimistic and enthusiastic, She often presents herself with a very jovial attitude and very friendly towards virtually everyone she meets, so much so that she actually got along with most of the Knights almost instantly. She cares deeply for her creator, sisters and even the Knights when she joins, being very polite and loyal towards them all, to the point where she's willing to sacrifice herself if it means they can get out of the situation they're stuck in. She's also very much taken by the world around her, water and the ocean especially However, she's by no means an airhead; despite how care-free she can seem at times, she will get serious when she needs to, helped by how she's quite quick to notice whenever someone is "evil". This is helped by how she's actually a very capable and powerful fighter, making her both strong enough to take care of enemies on her own and courageous enough to even charge at Super Robots head on.

Well... to an extent, at least. For whatever reason, she doesn't possess any sort of inherent programming or drive to fight like her sisters, and doesn't actively seek battle against the organization's enemies like the other Renegade Droids. Instead, she quickly became something of a free spirit that simply wished to explore the world and see as many new things as possible. These feelings only exacerbated as her friendship with several of the Knights - her supposed "enemies" - continued to grow, which led to her questioning what her true purpose was, if there was more to her life than to just fight. This, along with learning the true motives of her mother's partners, in of itself was the main factor in her leaving the organization & joining the Knights.

## History

### Pre-Series

Drum was created by Dr. Symphony in a test to determine which of the three conventional Droid body types - child, teen and adult - were the strongest, or had the most potential to develop. Drum in particular was made in the form of a 14-year-old and was naturally the second of them to be created & brought online.

## Abilities & Weapon

* Super Strength
* Enhanced Speed
* Enhanced Durability
* Sonar-Enhanced Hearing

Drum's audio receptor system have been specially built to act like sonar sensors, as whenever she's underwater, she's able to emit sound pulses from her electronic brain to detect any objects under water.

* Swimming Capabilities

As she was designed to resemble an Olympic-type swimmer, Drum is naturally a lot more mobile and agile in the water, being a very speedy and graceful bather that can remain submerged for long periods of time and speed through water at speeds up to 120 knots & at a range of 3000 miles.

* Golden Trident

Taken as a souvenir of sorts after the Knights' fight with Zadam, Drum wields a golden trident that she uses to fight other blade-using fighters, and can sometimes spin it around at great speeds to deflect enemy electric-based attacks. She can also fire elecric blasts from the three-pronged tip. At some point, she managed to fasten a fabric strap to it so she could wear it around her body.

### Water Generation

Drum has a special set of water tanks built into her body (located in her stomach, of course) that allows her to generate water from virtually anywhere in her body. She's able to refill her tanks simply by drinking water like a normal human. Of course, when she's *really* low, she'll often be seen chugging down an entire barrel full of water to fill them back up. She can manipulate it in many ways and into several powerful special attacks:

* Water Blasts

Drum is able to unleash powerful water vortexes from the white gauntlets on her forearms that are capable of either holding enemies or their attacks back, knocking them back or punch a hole right through them (though for obvious reasons, she usually only uses this much force against robotic enemies).

* Water-Based Flight

Drum creates a swirling torrent of water from the gauntlets around her lower legs to fly short distances.

* Water Discs

Drum is able to concentrate small portions of water into a ring-like disc in each of her hands that she can fling, much like Neo Sailor Moon's Moon Tiara Boomerang.

* Rising Torrent

Drum spins & surrounds herself in a torrent of water and rockets forward/upwards toward her opponent, ramming through the enemy like a drill (granted, the first few times she did this, she got discombobulated pretty badly, but she managed to get the hang of it soon enough).

* Baron Water Attack

Drum charges up a huge amount of water and when charged up enough, she fires it in a beam-like burst, with the burst resembling a water dragon. It is usually strong enough to pierce through most surfaces and other robots.

### Combo Attacks

* Double Power Flare

Combo attack w/ Agnes; Drum and Agnes surround themselves in water and flames respectively and then charge at their opponent, punching right through them.

* Triple Power Charge

One-time combo attack w/ Agnes & Lorelai: Drum, Agnes & Lorelai charge at their enemy with their Rising Torrent, Reppu Seikensuku and Spin Tempest Storm attacks.

* Cosmic Moon Crash

Group combination attack: When facing an enemy that's too strong, Drum and her friends will combine their powers into a ball of pure, combined energy, with Drum supplying a blast of her water. It can be formed with only four others, but for the truly powerful foes, all of them will partake in creating the ball, making it even bigger than it usually is.

## Relationships

### Agnes

Agnes was the first member of the Knights that Drum managed to bond with spawned mainly from her intrigue in their contrasting powers. Even when the two were forced to fight each other, they'd often offset it with friendly banter like her complimenting Agnes's freshly done hair. When she officially joined the team, the fire-bending Droid became something of a mentor to Drum, helping her hone her water generators in more unique ways and control them better.

### Lorelai Heinrich

Alongside Agnes, Drum gravitated towards Lorelai rather quickly upong their first meeting, thanks to her kindness and their usage of water-related powers and their love of the element. Even when in the middle of a fight, they'd often offset it with friendly banter like her complimenting Lorelai's freshly-polished armor. When she officially joined the team, the two continued to bond, often being seen together hanging out & talking or coming up with new ways to combine their watery powers.

### Lime

Lime is Drum's closest friend in their little ensemble, both being completed around the same time and having the same (usually) cheery attitudes. Of course, Drum takes the group's battles a lot more seriously than Lime does.

### Atros

Drum originally used to view Atros as an interesting "subject" to watch, finding herself fascinated by her power & single-minded determination to battle Sailor Moon. But as the two spent more time together, she developed a bond with her and the two have since become valuable allies and close friends.

### Usagi Tsukino

While not as close as she is to Lorelai and Agnes, Drum still considers Usagi a very good friend, and she was very grateful to the Future Moon princess in helping her adjust to life with the Knights when she first joined and getting the others to try & trust her.

### Meryl

Drum thinks that Meryl is a pretty cool person (pun accidentally intended), and slightly bonded with her over their water-related abilities.

## Notes

In her original series, Drum and her sisters "spiritually" linked and shared "experience data". They were also created about five thousand years ago prior to the events of their home series by one Organ Symphony (who Drum's creator in this series is obviously named after) - the goddess of fate and the first Lamuness's (the main "Big Good" hero of the series) main love interest - in order to help Lamuness's successor (with Drum's appearance and most of her personality being modeled directly off of herself), though they wouldn't be awakened for the aforementioned five thousand years until they were discovered by Lamuness's descendant, the show's main protagonist Baba Lamunade.

* Since a majority of her character in the original did revolve around her connection to Lamunade (much like a number of characters featured in this series that were simply Satellite Love Interests), time has been taken to give this version of Drum a more distinct personality; to make her the token enemy grunt that doesn't realize that she's working for "the baddies" out of a sense of loyalty to her creator until she realizes what she's doing is wrong and switches sides, in a vein similar to characters like Cancer from Transformers: Super God Masterforce, Bijinder in Kikaider 01 and Darunia from Akumaizer 3 (Darunia especially in the case of having drama involving sisters). This actually makes her the one first of the Renegade droids (after Ayako, obviously) to do this.
	+ One trick to try and make her more sympathetic to the audience is to have her never actively seek a fight with the Knights, to the point where her full fighting capabilities are only shown when she joins the Knights (and heck, sometimes even before then). The only times she actively does fight the main cast is whenever she's forced to by her mother or another "superior"; and even then, it's meant to be made clear she hates doing it.

Similarly to Lorelai, Drum and her sisters acted as the core units/pilots of a robot called the Water Baron, the last of the trio of heroic Super Robots of the series (though they weren't permanently bonded to it like Lorelai was to the Danube). Also like Lorelai, KotM's incarnation of the trio actually gain the Water Baron's water-based attacks (especially since her powers were only simple android powers like super endurance/speed/strength and electricity, though one of her attacks, where she charged forward in an aura of electricity and crashed through things, is alluded to in her Rising Torrent attack), similarly to Red Torpedo from DC Comics. This also actually makes Drum and her sisters some of the only Droids in the series to have more "outlandish" powers, whereas every other Droids' powers are mainly explained through manipulation of Photon Energy.

* Just as another fun way to convey the emphasis of her having water powers and give her a more unique weapon compared to the rest of the cast, Drum is given a trident in this series, similarly to other water-based characters.
* Drum and Agnes's combo attack is based off of the "Double Gekigan Flare" from Martian Successor Nadesico, made up as a way to show how far their friendship has come.

Another smaller element that inspired the idea for Drum's water powers is her swimsuit-like outfit that was seen whenever she was in her recharging chamber or piloting the Water Baron, and here is meant to give off the same kind of vibe as the DCAU's version of Aquagirl. She actually had another outfit in her original appearance, consisting of a red fur coat overtop a red one-piece spandex, big red & white gloves and what looked like a tall red ushanka. Here though (since its honestly a little out of place for her character), her alternate outfit is a set of casual clothes she wears when outdoors that are based off of who is implied to be either her Identical Stranger or (possible) reincarnation back in her home show's "real world".

Drum and Lime's friendship is mainly inspired by how Drum and her sisters were Expys of Lime and the other characters from the Saber Marionette series, and the rivalry between their and the Saber Marionettes' families is based off of Astro Boy's reimagining of Romeo & Juliet, with their two families being rival robotics experts that more often not fight each other than their actual opponents (another nod to Drum and her sisters being Expys). Of course, Drum & Lime have a simple "besties"-type relationship rather than a romantic one, and the way their powers are presented are a little different since all three Organ Droids have the same powers while the Starr Droids have different powers/abilities. It also acts as a good way to both implement both trios in a way that feels at least a little natural & show some of the personal relationships that occur within the Renegades' ranks.
