Short Bio:  Sora is a devoted woman at heart, taking her secretary job serious. She can be nice however she is a bit career driven, given her strict childhood all the way up till Sora met Tatsuba Takamo some odd years ago. Sora is very skilled in marksmanship and swordplay, however much prefers taking an enemy out from a distance if not quickly up close. 

Nasago Sora grew up in an extremely strict household, raised by her parents who had a tight grip on every action from schooling to chores, she couldn't have any friends unless they were approved of by her parents. Birthdays were spent instead with studying, where the only gifts she ever received were books and more lessons. But that was all Sora knew was a life full of focus and studying, she never got a chance to be a kid. 

That changed the heavily stormy day she was running late from getting out of school, the poor girl was ambushed by a group of otherworldly creatures that pinned her down and attempted to have their way with her. She fought back, unleashing inhuman speed and strength without truly knowing it but nonetheless it wasn't enough. Quickly however they were dispatched by a tall man in a suit, referring to himself as Takamo. Helping her home, the man was met with resentment by Sora's parents. 

After the door was slammed on the man's face, Sora was confronted and despite her explaining that Takamo had saved her from... Some thugs trying to take advantage of her, it was still not excuse. Instead of taking the verbal assault and coming to the realization that her home wasn't a safe haven, Sora packed what little she had and left her screaming father she her crying mother. Tracking Takamo down, the highschool girl begged the man to take her in and help her, which is how Sora because devoted to Takamo.

She unleashed her first weapon known as Deddoshotto, a long rifle that focuses magical energy into a fine needle-like point, which can be enhanced in any way for armor piercing, fragmenting, to even explosive projectiles and more. To compensate for close quarters, Sora had acquired two more weapons, an "semi-automatic" flintlock pistol called Hagishiri that is very similar to Deddoshotto, and twin scimitars known as Haru and Fuyu.
