### Debut

Chapter 639. Skull Architect

Ketis was a member of Lydia's Swordmaidens who Ves met during his time in the Millitary and the mission to Aeon Corona VII. Apprentice to Journeyman Mech designer of the swordmaidens, Mayra, Ketis was an unfocused and uninspired apprentice until her master Mayra asked Ves to teach her the ways of the Civilised mech designer. Ves taught her to be passionate about mech design and grew a strong bond with her. Upon the completion of the Aeon Corona Mission and the heavy losses suffered by all parties involved, Ketis accompanied Ves back to the Bright Republic and remained under his tutelage.

Ketis is proficient in the use of a sword and carried around a large sword procured from the Starlight Megladon and made to CFA standards, she previously had unsafe genetic modifications that would have severely limited her lifespan until Ves contrived to have her genes stabilised by taking advantage of the Starlight Megladons genetic treatments, from this modifications to her body, Ketis is smarter and stronger than most, and has horns on her head, which she likes to hide with a poofy beret.

Ketis is gifted a spiritual companion, Sharpie, during the Nyxian Gap campaign before the Battle of Ulimo Citadel.

While the Golden Skull Alliance detoured to the Life Research Association in the Majestic Teal Sector, Ketis and the Swordmaidens were allowed to venture to the Heavensword Association to compete in a sector wide swordsmanship competition and to hopefully recruit additional mech pilots. During the this competition, Ketis breaksthrough to Journeyman and becomes a Sword Master thanks to Sharpie.

Ketis was perhaps the weakest Journeyman of the four. She only broke through a short time ago and her knowledge accumulation wasn't extensive enough to assume too many responsibilities. However, her theoretical and practical mastery of bladed weapons, kinesiology and other fields directly related to her specialty surpassed that of everyone else! Her hyperspecialization along with her status as a mythical swordmaster caused her to become the undisputed authority of melee weapons and melee mechs. Gloriana did not trust Ketis to do a decent job in designing the power transmission systems, energy weapon systems and so on. She rarely permitted Ketis to spend her time on tweaking and optimizing the mechanical and mechatronic aspects of the expert mech designs.  Fortunately, Ketis did not lack for assignments. Designing weapons was an art in itself, and integrating them with the mechs that were supposed to wield them was also complicated.

After the Marriage between Ves and Gloriana, Ketis has changed her interest from Ves to Joshua and became his girlfriend after some training sessions with him. In the Red Ocean arc Ketis has married Joshua Larkinson after he had become more decisive. She has 2 kids her son Kirian and little Mayra.

Helping in the 4th design round she made both the Monster Slayer and the Second Sword. The Monster Slayer is that it is an attempt to pass on a part of her swordsmanship to others. It is primarily designed it to function as an arena mech, which is exactly what the Wild Fighter Association has asked for. It is solely optimized to wield a greatsword. Offense and mobility are the two most important strengths of the Monster Slayer design. While it is true that the mech is partially designed to help lesser-skilled mech pilots become more proficient in wielding greatswords, Top swordsman mech pilots such as Venerable Dise can utilize its understated capabilities to defeat melee mechs that are five times or even ten times as expensive without exceeding the Monster Slayer’s limits. The target production cost is 1.4 MTA credits. According to Ves's classification, a normal Monster Slayer mech is equivalent to a first-order living mech. This is probably the limit of what Ketis can do Life is just a side branch to her.

The Second Sword a Swordmaiden-exclusive mech model was a spaceborn mech that conformed to military standards. The design budget of the Second Sword design is around 3 MTA credits.
