Description[]

“

Kasane Randall is a cool and pragmatic girl who acts indifferently to others but has unparalleled sense of battle. She joined the Other Suppression Force after being scouted. She graduated OSF training at the top of her class.

Kasane lost her parents to an Other attack when she was younger. Subsequently, she was adopted by the Randall family. The Randall family operates the military contractor, Randall Industries. Her adoptive parents have never treated her like a real daughter and disciplined her harshly. Kasane has a deep emotional attachment to her adopted sister Naomi. She was the only one who showed her any kindness to Kasane grow.

The hairclip she wears was given to her as a matching pair by Naomi when they were young. This is the "proof" that they were sisters and is Kasane's most treasured possession.

Background[]

She lost her parents in an Other attack as a child and was adopted by the Randall’s, a family running a huge military corporation. While her relationship with her adoptive parents is complicated, her adoptive sister Naomi is the only person showing her affection, leading to a strong bond and deep love between them. The hand-made hair ornament that Naomi gifted her is Kasane’s most prized possession. Kasane was scouted into the OSF at age 12 due to her above average psionic capability. She is frequently having strange dreams about "red strings". The meaning of those dreams is still a mystery to this day.

Appearance[]

Kasane has long, grey hair with red eyes and matching flower hair ornament Naomi made for her. She opts to wear the Shinobi variant of the black military uniform, Dawn White Battle Attire and a number of other outfits. Shinobi consists of a shoulder less shirt with sleeves and grey leggings - based on Naomi's suggestion. She has a hood which she uses when Brain Drive is activated.

Personality[]

Kasane is a cool-headed and emotionally distant person to those she is unfamiliar with, remaining indifferent or perhaps unaware of social cues. Kasane speaks freely only with Naomi. Kasane's prickly and hostile personality may be a result of the emotional trauma and neglect she suffered at the hands of both Togetsu and the Randalls.

Never truly viewing her as their daughter, Kasane's parents were neglectful and abusive. Kasane was never particularly close to them as a result, and the two disown Kasane after Naomi was reported KIA.

At her core, Kasane is a very caring person regarding those whom she is close with. Likely a result of her neglect, she rarely becomes close enough to others for them to see these caring traits, though they do reveal themselves from time to time.
