Katas

Katas's combat ability is surprisingly strong. She's capable of swing the ax... the "Spellblade Umbral Fulgor" impressively, and her slashing and chopping techniques are formidable too. That said, she hardly has any combat strategy; her immense physical strength is basically all there is to it. Fortunately, her strength isn't that kind of uncontrollable odd power, so exaggerating accidents like snapping shelves or crushing staircases do not occur outside of the battlefield.

She lives life with an extreme devil-may-care attitude, her motto being living in the present. Anytime she makes money, she will happily go shopping, spending it on stuff that only chuuni girls fancy, like funky clothes (best if it's an all-new design), new cosmetics (not too expensive but must be glittery), and all sorts of personalized stickers and accessories, to name a few. In addition, she's a fan of several classic comics and often visits comic stores in search of new, interesting works.

Her curiosity about novelty things is sky-high, which makes her easily fall prey to advertisements and promotions and buy things she doesn't really need. Such a spending habit has led her to always be penniless and put her in an endless cycle where she has to work once her pockets are empty. Katas herself has no problem with this way of living, though, so it doesn't really matter.

Oftentimes, Katas will patronize the fried chicken stores, snack bars, family restaurants, and other cheap and good food and beverage establishments at stations. If you ever see her eating happily in a restaurant, it means the restaurant's food prices and quality must be pretty good, so you could consider joining her for a meal.

In terms of food preference, her topmost choice is a sumptuous bento with meat, vegetables, and rice. Combinations like this are few and far between in the Empire, but they're widely popular in Bonfire Cities. Katas is friendly with numerous restaurant owners, thanks to her huge appetite and upfront payment method. The owners all delightfully comment that though she behaves somewhat peculiarly, she never fails to dig in with abandon!

When she receives compliments, she will scratch her head bashfully and politely remark to the owners, "Your food is amazing. I'll certainly come again." It is a moment where no one can ever tell she's that fervorous Jumakenki. Perhaps this is what they call her true colors.

Regardless, please do not casually suggest Katas try cooking herself or casually taste the food she makes on a whim once in a while. The "Feast of the Abyss" made by Jumakenki isn't something most people can tolerate, especially since it may very well have been burned by flames created from her Ascension Ability.

Truth be told, Katas is pretty interested in all kinds of strange books. Part of the reason is because she gets to draw inspiration from them to play her role as Jumakenki, and another part is because the knowledge she can acquire from them is indeed intriguing. Sadly, she's not exactly a conscientious learner, so only a minimal amount of this knowledge will be absorbed by her while the rest will be read and then forgotten. She has tried adding the "well-read learner" character to her persona too, but due to her terrible forgetfulness, this idea, alongside the forgettable knowledge, has been wiped clean from her mind.

Sometimes, ignorance is truly bliss. If Katas really commits those fables to memory, she would've long discovered that almost everyone around her is someone with an incredible identity or background.

Thus far, her life remains joyous and practically worry-free, and her reputations in the Citadel and the Eternal crew are steadily improving. In time to come, she might become a member of the Destroyer or even a big shot in the Citadel, or she might continue staying on the Eternal, loudly demanding for "Jumakenki's offerings"... Who knows? Let's just sincerely wish her luck, and may there always be tasty foods by her side.
