Ranka Kagurazaka

"*りょーかい！絶対勝つ！意地でも勝つ！負けても勝つ！*"
*"Roooger that! Absolute victory! I’ll win no matter what! Even if I lose, I’ll win!"*
—Ranka's quote, *Valkyrie Drive Bhikkhuni*
**Ranka Kagurazaka** (神楽坂 乱花, *Kagurazaka Ranka*) is one of the two main protagonists of *Valkyrie Drive Bhikkhuni*. She is the younger of the Kagurazaka sisters. Determined and whimsical, Ranka is a hot-blooded girl who stands out thanks to her boyish behavior. She fights with her fists and goes head-first into battle. Both she and Rinka Kagurazaka (Ranka's older sister) are very sensitive when it comes to their bodies being touched. Her weapons are two huge beast-face gauntlets after she kisses anyone that can perform a drive with her.

## Appearance

Like Rinka Kagurazaka, Ranka is a beautiful young girl with purple-violet long hair that is tied in a ponytail with a dark ribbon, a red clip on the left-side of her head (while her sister wears her clip on the right), blue eyes and large breasts, but they're a little bit smaller than Rinka's.

Ranka wears a shirtless school uniform with a red bow tie and a little knot on her shirt. And she wears a plague blue skirt with red ribbons and you can also see her thong on both sides of her hips. And also, she wears black gloves on her hands. On her legs, she has black and red striped socks and wears black leather boots with 4 golden buttons on them.

## Personality

Ranka is a hot-blooded girl with a tomboyish behavior. And thanks to her personal behavior, it makes her a powerful Valkyrie, one that's hard to take down. She's always fired up for a battle and will defeat anyone or anything no matter what it takes. But turns out she's not always like that. She actually has a caring and protective side of her. Like how she cares about her sister. She cares about her sister more than anyone else, and she would do anything she can in order to protect her from anyone or anything that can harm her.

## Background

Ranka's history is unknown. But as far as we know, she's the younger sister of the Kagurazaka sisters and one of the girls who is infected by the V-virus.
