Reyna Hoshi

Template:Pilot Infobox

> Don't live for friendship, Lurcher. Friends tend to become enemies before too long, but enemies don't usually become friends, so they're a bit more reliable. Someone like you is better off sticking to making enemies; you're too simple to handle betrayal.
>
> Reyna, a long time ago.

> A grey wolf and a silver fox...how did an angry tortoise like you get picked up by those two?
>
> Reyna, catching up with Gavin.

> Well, you can be the judge of that. That’s why you stick around, right? You want to judge me and everyone else. But I know how people work, and they always prove me right in the end.
>
> Reyna to Shi.

# The Pilot

A Phoenix Collective pilot. Like most mercenaries, little of her personal history is known, though Gavin is aware that she was a statistician before the war responsible for interpreting sociological data for corporations.

She met with Gavin Malkin in Chicago in 2019 for the first time in what was apparently many years, mostly to insult him, but concluded their meeting with an encouragement to retire now that he had a chance at a happy life. She would meet with him again a few months later by accident and use the opportunity to recruit him to her mission to kill the last Chosen AI, Blackjack.

## Personality

A confident woman with a cool temperament and the ability to find amusement in the worst of situations. Although she acts mischievous, she is actually quite rational, observant, and manipulative. She has little respect for others and considers most people nothing more than a source of entertainment for her, priding herself on her ability to reduce people to their base character traits.

Despite hiding her intentions behind a playful attitude, she is a ruthless mercenary through and through, and will do whatever is required to accomplish her goals. Selfish, profit-driven, and a compulsive liar, she laughs at the concept of a fair fight and prefers to engage only when victory is absolutely certain, or when the enemy can't properly fight back.

## Appearance

Approximately 171cm tall with long blue hair and yellow eyes (TE is anime shut up). She's somewhat unusually tall for someone of Asiatic descent and enjoys picking on people shorter than her as a result.

## Relations & Allies

### Hanse Behörde

**Lyn Wong (Hai-ko):** Lyn seems to consider Reyna a friend, which Reyna finds amusing considering it would be based off the incident that saw her swindling Lyn of $300.

### Phoenix Collective

**Carcer Carmine (Marauder):** Reyna expressed a favorable opinion of Marauder during her meeting with Gavin, though this may have been sarcastic.

**Elena Wagner (Weltraumlicht):** Apparently a fan of the reclusive sniper, for whatever reason.

**Gavin Malkin (Intersect Thunderbolt)**: Gavin bears the extremely dubious honour of being one of the very few people Reyna has anything resembling a personal attachment to, meaning that he is a primary victim of her manipulative and occasionally even cruel treatment of others. Based off their past history as teammates, each knows the other's capabilities well enough to consider the other more a threat than worth dealing with directly, and Reyna herself finds far and away more entertainment and use from Gavin as someone to kick around than as a corpse.

**Shi Nanashi**: Reyna's AI companion, whom she generally treats as a servant, but occasionally shows signs of what appears to be genuine concern for Flügel's wayward daughter, as she seems to dislike it when she complains Reyna doesn't care about anyone other than herself.
