Biography
Chisato Nishikigi (Japanese: 錦木 千束, Hepburn: Nishikigi Chisato)
Like all Lycoris, Chisato was adopted by the DA as a young girl. She was originally part of the Offensive Security Force Training Course, where she received an A+ in her total evaluation in operational action. She would eventually transfer into the Special Guard Force Tactics Unit, where her grade dropped to a D-. Despite being a top-tier Lycoris, she had a congenital heart disease, which made her fragile. She also would not last for long in a long protracted fight. But with help from the Alan Institute, she received an artificial heart with some conditions to meet. While stationed at the DA Tokyo Headquarters, she shared a room with Fuki Harukawa. She has gained a reputation from Kusunoki and her peers for being the top-tier Lycoris who singlehandedly protected the Old Radio Tower from a terrorist attack, her fame spreading even to rural areas. At some point, Chisato left the DA and chose to work independently under her Lycoris license at Café LycoReco.
In the early morning of a day in May, Chisato receives an urgent phone call from Mika informing her of an emerging situation that requires her assistance. Mildly disgruntled by being summoned earlier than appointed, she traverses the quiet streets of Tokyo. Arriving at her target location, she stops to observe the destruction caused by Takina Inoue, expressing glee at the barrage of gunfire nearby. Following the abrupt resolution of the arms deal, she finds that her skills are no longer required, and as such, is picked up by Mizuki Nakahara. Takina arrives at Café LycoReco following her dismissal. Chisato enters cheerfully, and the two are introduced to each other by Mika. Noting that they will be partners moving forward, Chisato is unable to contain her excitement, receiving Takina with her signature upbeat energy. She inquires about the injury on Takina's face, and upon learning the truth, calls Fuki to express anger at her violent outburst. Takina questions why Chisato isn't working at the DA, despite her renown as a top-tier Lycoris. Chisato simply states that she's their "problem child". The two get to work resolving a variety of small private sector errands as Chisato introduces her new partner to the work she performs at LycoReco. The nature of these tasks comes as a surprise to Takina, differing greatly from her usual responsibilities. Taking a break in the park, Chisato explains that their duty is simply to help people in their local community. Despite their differing philosophies on the role of a Lycoris, Chisato requests Takina to lend LycoReco her strength.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Chisato Nishikigi was a young girl with medium-length blonde hair and red eyes. She usually wears a red ribbon, tied in a bow on the left side of her hair. When operating as a Lycoris, she wears her red 1st Lycoris uniform paired with black knee-high socks and brown loafers.
Despite her expertise and membership, Chisato is a pacifist and wants to live a fulfilling, peaceful life, putting her at odds with the Direct Attack's secretive and lethal ways.
Powers and abilities
Chisato was a genius at predicting her opponent's next move. Utilizing information such as the movement of muscles and clothing, a weapon's characteristics and ballistic properties, the shooter's line of sight, and trigger finger position, she can time the perfect evasive maneuver or counterattack. Chisato also accounts for the experience of her opponents. Fuki surmised that the more precise the shooter, the easier it is for her to dodge. As shots become more consistent, they become more predictable. As such, she is even able to dodge projectiles at point-blank range.
At Café LycoReco, she works joyfully and cheerfully as the self-proclaimed poster girl.
