### Background

Coming from an ordinary Taimanin family that was distantly related to the Igawa clan.

She was born around year **2058-2059**, around 10 years after Igawa Asagi, which she admired. Though she was always close in skill, she was still far weaker. However, on a mission, Asatsuki was seriously hurt and almost died.

Revived only by Kiryu's medical technology when he still worked for Nomad, her body that was structure wise similar to Asagi and was infused with blood and genes of Igawa Asagi, as part of an experiment. At that time, the majority of her body was supplemented with Asagi's genes, in addition to the skeletal structure of her body and, her abilities had become even more similar to Asagi's. She was the only survivor of those experiments and was later found by Igawa Asagi herself, that was raiding some of Kiryuu's old labs. Returning to Gosha Village, they realized that her facial features body, hair and even movements became identical to those of Asagi.

Asatsuki joined the Taimanin elites but requires a visor to use her new abilities. Since then, she is getting confused with Asagi, specially from behind and suffers from mental issues as part of her personality seems to be effected.

### Timeline TABA

Asatsuki is a leader of a squad with Kujuukuri Shion and Yoimachi Akari. In her canon "what if" events Asatsuki becomes a target of Kotaro, as her personality mixes more and more with Asagi but Kotaro let her go at some point. Not broken, she returned to the Taimanin.

Secretly requested to investigating the Fuuma Organization, by prime minister Asai Koujirou personally, year **2085**. Asatsuki sent first her two squad members after Kotaro, but both engaged on their own instead of waiting and simply investigating. When she arrived to save Shion, she was knocked out with members of the Fuuma by another party. Waking up in the Chaos Arena, which was in control of Snake Lady, she was forced to keep fighting with Fuuma Tokiko, both affected by a deadly aphrodisiac poison, for an antidote.
