Kuriya Minori looks and sounds Japanese, but her ancestry can be traced back to the pre-war days of Taiwan. She’s typically happy-go-lucky from day to day, nothing seems to faze her. She is no ditz, but is confident and capable and not afraid to show it. However, if someone calls her Chinese, her mood changes. Since the revealing of IS, progress of the ever-inflexible Middle Kingdom has been curtailed by wild swings in the political and social landscapes, and as a result Taiwan bore the brunt of being repeatedly the target of misplaced nationalistic/paternalistic fervor for the last decade. It has left Minori distrusting of mainlanders like Rin. Never mind that Rin is very good at pissing people off... Minori's IS is the Ragnarok. It was manufactured by TharHes Industries, an MNC based in Northern Europe, with branches all over the world. This Bushwhacker model was sold to the Taiwanese government, and was subsequently assigned to one of their representative candidates attending the ISA, Minori. The Bushwhacker departs from the traditional IS forms, having no forearms as they have been replaced with weapon hard points, and having legs that are bent backwards like a bird's. The IS also forms a transparent ribbed enclosure that incorporates fully the pilot into the torso while lying prone. In a way, the Bushwhacker is the final hoorah for the 2G of IS, bearing one 5-volley long range missile rack on the left shoulder, a 105mm gauss rifle on the right, a pair of 12.7mm light autocannons under the pilot enclosure, and 4 extended range medium lasers, 2 on each "arm". The weapons can be swapped out before a battle, but once loaded they stay on until they are removed. With this immense arsenal, thick armor, without reducing typical Gen2 mobility, one would expect the Bushwhacker to be an upsized monster of an IS. The designers got around that by creating the IS to have a small front face, and packed it down as short as possible, resulting in a squat 4.89m tall 2.3m long warrior. It has been described as a "fighter with legs", best suited for fleet firefights.

Now I need to clear Biker-tan and bend the new male OC, and I can finally do up Tio Ginjyo and Kougami Tsubomi. More replies and reviews when I get home.
