Kondo Misaka

Kondo Misaka (近藤貞花) is a Lily who attends Yurigaoka Girls' Academy. She is the captain of Legion Sanngriðr. Known as the Uncontrollable Lily, she is the most popular Lily among the younger Yurigaoka students. She prefers using sword-type CHARMs.

Misaka is the main protagonist of the Assault Lily Wunder novel, and a significant amount of it is written from her perspective.

History
Misaka, Totori, Homare, and Chihiro have been friends since kindergarten. They promised to fight together and the four of them are the founding members of Sanngriðr. .

Misaka idolized Lily ever since her childhood. She dreamed of becoming a lily herself, fighting graciously to protect humanity. After entering Yurigaoka, and showing her talent, she is praised as genius. This earned her approval from the members of the Dueling Generation such as Izue Shinobu. They even say Misaka would be the future Brunhildr and she believed in it.

The dream was crushed by change in Yurigaoka's dogma from duel based tactics. Rare skill became regarded as a requirement for top-class lily.

Other than her focus on duel, Misaka has been slow to awaken her Rare Skill, and some see her as a failure due to that. Among all her friends, Touka stayed by her side the most and encouraged her through those days. In return, Misaka feels a sense of duty to stay with and support Touka.

It is possible that this is the reason why Misaka was so attentive to the girl who would later become her Schild, Hanna, who was also slow to awaken her Rare Skill and went unappreciated by the Garden and her peers.

It was difficult for them to get approval to form the legion, in large part due to Misaka being the captain. However, her friends insisted that Misaka should be captain of the legion.

Before the Odaiba Counteroffensive, Misaka wasn't thought of by anyone as a Lily of particular note. She became famous when, during the Counteroffensive, she held a Gigant-type (and the swarm of smaller Huge around it) at bay for 20 minutes entirely by herself, in order to protect the younger Lilies defending Nozomi Bridge. This was despite not having any identified Rare Skill and not being a Boosted Lily.

Following her achievement against the Gigant-type during Odaiba, Misaka's request to form a legion was finally approved. Even then, they weren't allowed to embark on expeditions.

Plagiarism issue
In November 2018, when Azone announced Legion Sanngriðr at the AK-GARDEN 15 convention, fans quickly noticed that Misaka's character design was very similar to Ranun, a character from CAVE's game Gothic wa Mahou Otome. The red and white uniform also worn by Totori, Hibari, and Luise fell under suspicion of being plagiarized as well. Azone decided to not use the problematic character designs again in the future.

Because of this, whenever the official @assault_lily Twitter answered any questions regarding Sanngriðr and its members prior to February 2023, Fumi used a picture of Totori, Hibari, and Luise's cameo in Assault Lily: Bouquet, in which they are all wearing the standard Yurigaoka uniform. She never posted Misaka's original artwork, and instead used Tokiwa and Hanna's pictures as a stand-in.

On February 1st, 2023, Rampage announced that the upcoming Assault Lily Pop-Up Store would sell goods featuring Misaka's artwork. After that, the "Azone Hobby Department" Twitter account posted a new character design for Misaka, redrawn by Gochisousama, a well-known Assault Lily fanartist. The official Twitter account now posts the new artwork when discussing Misaka.
