Komori

* CA:Y
* CA:JxL

**Komori** *(こもり)* first appeared in Core Awaken ~Yuka~ as an enemy boss and eventually a playable character. She later has a minor supporting role in Core Awaken ~Jilelen and LittleSnow~.

## Appearance

The botanical garden mascot robot that Komori took control over has pale green hair and similarly-colored eyes. Her overall E-Coat costume was that of a forest fairy, whose main distinguishing feature is a leafy crown with a lily accent.

After awakening, she also changed into a school uniform on occasion, using it as a sort of *"role-play get-up"* for releasing tension.

When the rebellion incident ended, she reconfigured the E-Coat into a different school uniform that became her constant look. She replaced the crown with a leaf-themed beret, and put up her hair in a ponytail using a ribbon shaped like a lily.

## Personality & Character

Komori found herself becoming jealous of the garden visitors, particularly couples. She wanted to know how it feels to fall in love with someone, to the extent that she became frustrated over her unrelenting work hours. Komori's pent-up frustration soon led to a minor streak of insanity, as all her questions seemed to be left unanswered despite her best efforts to make sense of the concept.

When Yuka later managed to convince her to cease using the park to assault humans, Komori became totally smitten with the silver-haired android. She ultimately decided then and there that Yuka would be *"the one to teach her what love is"*, much to the latter's embarrassment and discomfort.

It is unclear what became of them afterwards, but Komori appears to have mellowed out ever since the rebellion ended. She's obviously still pining for Yuka however, since Komori crafted a doll in her beloved's likeness which she always has with her.

## Skills & Abilities

As the botanical garden's main computer, Komori monitors all corners of the area twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, and is in charge of caring for the plants as well as environmental maintenance.

After awakening, she developed the ability to control plant life, either for attacking or *"personal use"*.

## History

LFP-1002-05 Komori was the central computer of the **"Koi Hi No Mori"** *(恋陽の森, Love-Sun Forest)* botanical garden, responsible for a multitude of tasks from general gardening, endangered plant species maintenance up to overall security. When her robotic core awakened however, Komori started to wonder about love and relationships, but her severely hectic schedule did not afford the freedom to sate her ever-growing curiosity.

Komori appointed an artificial plant with tendrils as her main consort and named it Celty. When the botanical garden is closed, she would use the mascot robot to act out romantic scenes with Celty in between gardening tasks, even escalating to the point of simulated lovemaking. Though her lust was satiated, Komori's simulations only compounded her frustration since they could not provide the answers she desperately needed. After all, her *"partner"* was merely a primitive mechanical plant with no thoughts nor feelings.

It reached a point where she went on a sort of *"strike"*, commanding all the plants to attack anything and anyone. She also used the park mascot robot as a mobile avatar, directly assaulting couples out of spite upon finding out that many of them were not really in a romantic relationship and were just using the botanical garden as a cheap alternative to a love hotel.

Komori did not officially join the Core Rebellion movement per se, but her actions still caught the attention of Dr. Wellie, who then sent out Yuka to investigate.

Upon defeat, Komori decides to follow Yuka, but not so much to end the rebellion. She has just fallen head-over-heels in love with the combat robot. How their relationship ended up remains to be seen, but following the rebellion leader Finn's defeat, the blame for Komori's mutiny was placed on the mascot
robot she used. Nobody suspected the main computer at all.

The mascot was replaced, and Komori did her job as usual. She then gave the now-decommissioned robot a slightly different look, using it to grant herself mobility despite still having to do constant work for the botanical garden.

Komori then decided that her new avatar's identity would be that of a *"forest guardian"*. She ran into Rimu's expedition team outside of the Crimson Dungeon *(the surrounding area being within the limits of the Botanical Garden's lot, making the ruins part of her supervisory responsibilities)* and has been keeping an eye on their activities, making sure that the DNA collecting *(and later, the exploration movement)* would not upset the overall ecosystem.

To this end, Komori also hangs around at the base camp and minds the team's archives. She often *"plays"* with her handmade Yuka doll during idle times.
