APPEARANCE

Standing at a mere 4'10", Kotone doesn't look like much, but her looks are carefully fashioned to deceive. She’s most often seen wearing her favorite cloak, a bug-themed pseudo-kimono with more pockets than Swiss cheese. This coat parts to reveal a bulletproof vest, her tacky bootleg-print t-shirt of the day, a utility belt from which her holsters hang, a pair of black and white athlete’s shorts, a loud pair of hiking gaiters, and lace-up hiking boots. She looks just as she did in life— except now she’s got these little lines trailing down her cheeks as an artifact of her current robotic state. Kotone pridefully likes to call them battle scars.

Her color palette is #E0D88E “Semolina,” #70BABE “Roller Rink,” #EB69C0 “Tongue-in-Cheek,” #A1ECB2 “Matcha,” #FFB1E5 “Bubble Gum,” #29454C “Marianas Trench,” #1F7D78 “Labradorite,” and #FBF2DE “Library Book.”

PERSONALITY

A strong-willed, sharpshooting savant of stealth and stealing, Kotone is a slippery scoundrel and a staple of the legendary Titanian Thieves (who once stole the entire Statue of Liberty, returning it the next day with the note “had a wonderful game night, thanks for letting us borrow! :)”!). Despite her energetic, sprightly, and playfully rude manner of speaking (which isn’t unlike how a parakeet acts), growing up in a band of organized crime left her jaded and venomous at times. She doesn’t like to let her soul-crushingly cute persona fade through and show her more cynical outlook on the world, but should she need to, she would use it to her benefit. She’s perceptive and analytical, she’s agile and accurate, and she has incredibly sharp hearing and reflexes. Even death itself has a poor grasp on her: dying left her nothing short of energized after her old boss forced her into a robot that even he couldn’t control.

OTHER INFO

• She’s a ghost, babey!! Dual-wielding her reaper revolvers, her electric soul just can’t get enough of combat.
• Her ability to hide is supernaturally good. Her agility and small size aid her in her nearly unreal cloaking, camouflaging, and hiding.
• Kotone sadly falls asleep in the weirdest places at times. Sometimes she just falls asleep where she is...
• On the back of her neck, at its base, is a little metal plate that covers a teal pin. This pin (allegedly) contains her soul, and were it to be removed from her body, she wouldn’t be able to move at all.

LIKES

Ice cream, dogs, her family — her niichan especially, making and keeping promises, action movies, obnoxious bands, handguns, wild animals, Shibuya-kei music, sleight-of-hand tricks, arcade games, baggy clothes, warm jackets, pockets, helping others, rain, puddles, pranks

DISLIKES

People who use shitty colognes that smell funny, her old boss, psychoactive gases, being stalled, marble statues, failure, rejection, low-morale teammates or coworkers, willfully ignorant people, heavy lifting, rule-mongers, being treated like a child

HISTORY

Little is known about Kotone Suzuki’s past from before she appeared in Satellite Springs. Allegedly, she is a high-profile member of a band of thieves called the Titanian Thieves, and a violent fallout with her old boss cost her her life (though she did defy death by possessing a robot body). Escaping eternal silence with a pair of poltergeist pistols, one million dollars, a robot dog, and her new, self-proclaimed niichan, there’s little the world could throw at her that she couldn’t take— so, obviously, she decided to roll into a trailer park and camp out there for the rest of the foreseeable future. Since... that’s the next logical step, according to her.

Despite her unreal escape tricks to cheat death, suddenly being a robot is a bit too much to explain to others, so instead of trying to repair what relationships she had before the events that led to her death, she set her sights to any podunk place that she could hole up in, Satellite Springs perfectly fitting that bill. The mayor was surprisingly nonchalant about her move, and he event went as far as helping her get her feet on the ground towards her new life. With help, she set up and began working at a Japanese imports convenience-store alongside her siblings.

The store itself proved to be rather uneventful on Satellite Springs’s standards, but for Faye’s, it seemed to be that way until someone strolled on in and leaned on the counter while complaining about not wanting to be here. This particular customer, who Kotone later learned was Missile, had crash-landed in Satellite Springs not so long ago, and she didn’t look like she was going to willingly set foot in this store again... except for the part where she dropped her wallet. Small talk over the lost object showed that perhaps Kotone was a bit attached to the scruffy new face in town, and for a lack of a better way to rope Missile back in every day for a chat, Kotone began taking little things with the intent to return it the next day after a bit of banter. Kotone isn’t sure when things changed from a simply happenstance friendship, but what she does know is that working up the courage to slip her own number into Missile’s stolen lost wallet was surprisingly easy, if not cheesy.
