Asuka Koukawa

Asuka Koukawa is the third protagonist introduced in Taimanin Asagi 3 visual novel and cameos in the OVA adaption. She is Asagi's adopted daughter, a prodigy and rogue Taimanin. Asuka lost her limbs in a battle with Edwin Black and was saved by the "Masked Taimanin". Not returning to Asagi or Gosha Village afterward, she joined the group of her savior, the DSO. She is a young woman with waist length, brown hair in a hime cut, blue eyes and a large bust. Asuka has 4 artificial limbs she can take off, near the middle of both upper legs and upper arms. Without them, she is a quadruple amputee. Asuka wears a pink battle suit when on duty. While at Midoribashi Academy, she wears a blue uniform with a white chest piece and a red tie. Asuka is a bit of a "Gal", has a cheerful, bubbly and playful attitude most of the time. She also has a childish, aggressive temper, that gets the better of her at times. She is upbeat and confident in her strength, to the point she can almost come across as careless. Not only that, but she tends to get bored quickly and is rather impatient, rushing things and endangering herself or equipment. When teasing somebody, she exaggerates her movements and voice, and typically uses big gesture, but does all this only if she really likes somebody. Asuka like Sakura, uses a number of nicknames to the people she likes, and even for herself. At times, Asuka is overwhelmed by situations making her act slower, but she can also analyze her surroundings and instinctively comes up with plans on the fly, her smarts only limited by her impulsiveness. Asuka also allows herself to bend the rules from time to time, and does not hesitate to use deadly force, if it gets things done. Though she is a believer of the Taimanin ideals of justice, she rather follows them as a rogue, to have the freedoms to act against Nomad. Unlike other Taimanin, she is also not that naive and able to work with criminals if it is required. Asuka is very competitive and wants her abilities as a Taimanin or woman recognized. She will lash out against those that, don't recognize her, for example "being viewed as just a daughter", is something she rejects. She will often smile, instead of stating her own sadness and wants on matters, like her missing limbs or missing day to day normal life. Asuka gets serious when she thinks about her original family and the Koukawa Massacre, driven by revenge against those responsible, like Edwin Black. Her mood also changes into a very aggressive tone in the canon timeline when Asagi is mentioned, as she feels betrayed by her. More so than others, Asuka is confident, in her body and tries to use her own sex appeal as a weapon and is less shy about this if confronting those she likes. Though she is popular, she only puts her interest in a few people.
