#### Character Profile

One's values determine who they are. Her value set can be summarized with a single word - justice. Is it just or is it unjust? Every action and thought are driven by this simple logic.

Her values developed when she was kidnapped as 13-year-old and rescued by police officers in a dramatic case. It looks like her decision to apply for a homicide department was affected by this experience. She becomes ruthless when she believes her action is appropriate to her values. Otherwise, however, she hestitates and slinkers.

It is unknown that her firm and unyielding character was developed by her tragic experiences or her actions developed her character. But one thing for sure, 'justice' is everything for her. Denying justice means denying her existence.

She is also necrophobic. It appears to be a symptom of PTSD after seeing her mother's body ripped apart by a serial killer. 14M-RFT11's weapon of choice is gun. Her training is one thing, but another hypothesis is that she doesn't have to suffer the sensation of killing, or sights of having killed.

#### Behavior pattern [*Craft Plasma Rifle 2 time(s)*]

How do I put it? Fortune is not on her side. 14M-RFT11(Aya) is always serious but she's got a loose screw. You know the type. Takes their friends out for a night out, says they are paying, and then forgets they didn't bring their wallet (this in no way implicates Dr. K, who just happened to have done exactly that.)

Anyway, those people do everything to put on an aura, yet make a critical mistake that ruins everything. 14M-RFT11(Aya) is one of those. She is scarily obsessed with justice, yet this is her critical flaw. She can be easily convinced of anything if she is told it is a matter of justice.

Before coming to Lumia, she took on cases that others wouldn't, all for her sense of justice. 14M-RFT11(Aya) went undercover as a waitress while investigating a secret club frequented by people with a unique taste. She also took on cases that nobody else wanted to take because they had very little evidence. She used to be so clumsy that she would go without handcuffs or a gun. Her reports talk about this everywhere. Other times, 14M-RFT11(Aya) would fire while forgetting to reload. She would run toward the source of gunfire, but she would take the wrong course and get lost.

She is far from meticulous. But it doesn't mean her belief in justice is shaky. Her belief in justice is stronger than anyone out there. But we don't know just what she thinks 'justice' is exactly. It's such an abstract concept in the first place. But at least, based on her behavior around others and her documents before coming to Lumia, we can conclude that 'justice', for her, is about punishing those who harm others' happiness and safety or those who can.

When 14M-RFT11(Aya) first arrived at the island, she said she couldn't kill innocent people. But over time, her view on the other Subjects evolved - from innocent victims to potential criminals. 14M-RFT11(Aya) has concluded that what they require is not her protection, but her judgment.

One might think this is a radical shift, but it is true that her pursuit of justice and need to protect the happiness of others became pathological after her family was slaughtered by a mass murderer. The psychiatric evaluation that she had right after the incident came to a similar conclusion. It's been confirmed that 14M-RFT11(Aya) requires extended psychiatric care due to it. Before that incident, she believed that justice achieved through wrong means could never be right, but now she has become flexible enough that she is willing to work with 14M-RFT03(Zahir) and 06M-RFT01(Jackie), both of whom she regards as criminals at least temporarily. I can understand her working with 14M-RFT03(Zahir), but I find it hard to believe that she's willing to work with 06M-RFT01(Jackie). Outside this island, 06M-RF01(Jackie) would have been 14M-RFT11(Aya)'s nemesis.

#### Weakness & Trauma [*Hunt Bear 5 time(s)*]

Average people rarely get a chance to see a corpse other than dead cats or dogs, but police officers see many dead bodies in their line of work. If a police officer is not comfortable looking at a corpse... Well, it would be wise to stay away from the homicide unit. They don't conduct autopsies, but if a police officer were to panic at the sight of death, they would jeopardize the operation.

Ever since 14M-RFT11 witnessed the murder of her family, she suffered hyperventilation and panic attacks at the mere sight of blood. It took her six months' leave from her duties and psychiatric care. Her symptoms subsided, but a career in violence won't do her any good.

When she returned to work after receiving treatment, there were several offers for her to move to another department, but she insisted on staying. But she must have known that the offers weren't for her but for themselves. I am sure that there were plenty of people who could have replaced her, and they knew that she could only delay investigations because of her condition.

I can imagine what she would have felt. 14M-RFT11 probably wanted to prevent other people from becoming victims like her. But insisting to do it all herself is serving her own desire rather than serving justice. In the end, keeping her position wasn't conducive to justice but to her own obsessions.

On what basis does she think she has the right to judge others? Sure, she may as a police officer, but as a Test Subject on this island just like the others? I don't understand how she still thinks that she is the judge and the others are all criminals.

I don't think she hasn't thought about this, but she is ignoring this question just like she ignored the offers for her transfer. I am sure she knows that she is not qualified to judge others. She just can't keep ignoring the fact. She will eventually face reality when it can no longer be ignored. I am curious to see her reaction when she does.

#### Likes & Dislikes [*Craft Kelte 5 time(s)*]

What does she like? Well...There seems nothing out there that she obsesses over. Actually, I remember 14M-RFT11(Aya) was talking to 14M-RFT09(XiuKai) what she wants to eat.

Haagen-Dazs, stewed mackerel, mushroom nabe... Nothing out of the ordinary, but difficult to get on this island. She started crying after listing a few more.

We assume those were 14M-RFT11(Aya)'s daily meals. Perhaps they have an emotional history, where her family used to eat together when they were whole and happy. We cannot ascertain whether 14M-RFT11(Aya) misses the food or the memories associated with them.

- Assistant researcher in charge Dr. S

What does 14M-RFT11(Aya) hate? Isn't it obvious? What do you think? Alcohol, tobacco, gambling, and drugs. All gifts to humankind from God.

How boring her life must be. What joy is there in life without any of them? They are great for forgetting your troubles. It would suit 14M-RFT11(Aya) well.

#### Acquaintance Interview [*Craft Magic Stick 8 time(s)*]

You work with my sister? Hello. How is Aya doing? It's been a while since I've seen her. But that doesn't mean I want her to come and see me.

Actually, I know it's hard for my sister to be next to me. I know I remind her of the accident. She thinks it's her fault that it happened. But, as you know, it's not her fault. Our parents passed away and I have some... difficulties getting around now, but I won't let one accident get in my way. I know there's a way to live with these injuries.

But Aya always talks like everything is over. I can take anything, but I can't take seeing her in pain and breaking down. That's why I decided to give her some space. I think that was the right decision for both of us. I concluded that we both need time to think because I don't want to hate myself and my sister.

It may take some time, but I hope that we go back to where we were before. She is always kind, righteous and confident. Isn't she?
