Overview
Personality and attributes
It was noted that she looked exactly like her sister Katsumi.
Unlike the others, Kei had known about her ARMS her entire life as she was raised by the Bluemen.
Many of the Bluemen saw her as a weapon and not a person which led to Kei growing up extremely lonely, bitter, and even a little vicious.
She experienced some change in her personality after meeting Ryo and the other ARMS subjects as they were the only people who truly understand her. With them, she came finally learns true friendship and teamwork.
Kei and Hayato grew closer over the course of their mission together leading to the two becoming romantically involved in a relationship.
Powers and abilities
Kei Kuruma was was genetically engineered to be able to bond with the ARMS which was done so in her childhood. This saw her eyes being replaced with cybernetic ARMS with this being known as the Queen of Hearts. Unlike the other three original ARMS, the Queen of Hearts doesn't appear to be affiliated with either White or Black Alice; she is possibly a manifestation of Alice's objectivity (as a scientist), which fits her role as a 'judge' (in her own words, the Queen was born "to be a judge of Alice herself.. to judge... ARMS or mankind"). Kei's ARMS is an array of powerful sensors, including magnification and infrared. Kei can figure out a punch before it is thrown, or a bullet's course before it leaves the barrel, and avoid them. Kei can also activate, enhance, and deactivate the ARMS of her teammates. The Queen of Hearts' nano-machines allow Kei to heal from injuries much faster than a normal human even when not transformed. Kei has nicknamed her nano-machines her "nano-babies". The Queen Of Hearts' final form is a magnificent woman made of light. Similar to the White Rabbit, the Queen's ultimate form is unlocked by a wish; however, unlike the other original ARMS, where the host is asked "Do you want Power?", the Queen asks "Do you want Light?". The Queen of Hearts' powers are the least defined of all ARMS, but she has accomplished the following feats: shutting down the out of control Jabberwock, Rabbit and Knight; a powerful shield called the 'Mirror of Aegis' which can block and reverse any attack (even the giant Jabberwock); and the ability to destroy all the ARMS, including Alice herself, though this will also kill the hosts (It is unknown whether Kei has the mental strength to actually use this ability). In the final battle against the Bandersnatch, the Queen's faceplate is lifted and her identity is revealed as White Alice, though it is likely that this is a result of the events following the activation of program JABBERWOCK.
As a member of the Bluemen, she was raised and trained to be an elite soldier.
