History
[edit | edit source]Wakana has always been highly esteemed for her character and her talent, so it wasn't any surprise when, in her first year of high school, she became Yurigaoka's Vice Disciplinarian. At the time, the whole of the Kanto region in Japan was in a poor state, with two-thirds of Tochigi Prefecture having already fallen and a full half of Saitama under Huge threat. When Nests began to be established around Ibaraki Prefecture, many predicted that the situation would only grow worse, with a possible death zone on the horizon.[1]
The proposed solution was for all Gardens across Kanto to begin cooperating, taking a systematic approach to countering the Huge influence over the area. With the Conduct Committees of each Garden already working together, they became the channel through which this plan would be formed, and there was no one more in favor of the plan than Wakana. It was she who ultimately was responsible for making the cooperation plan official.
Yurigaoka then undertook a large-scale expedition, with the first being an expedition to destroy the S-ranked Nozori Lake Nest in northern Gunma Prefecture. It was on this expedition that Wakana met Miyairi Fubuki, who was among the reinforcements sent from Ryuto Girls' Academy. The two not only recognized each other's abilities, they were nearly kindred spirits. Their coordination in combat was so effective that it's said even today that Wakana and Fubuki alone dealt with half of all Huge at the Nozori Lake Nest. They fought together in several other expeditions even after Nozori Lake, and, despite being in different Gardens that are fairly distant from one another, maintain a close friendship even today.
Meeting Soraha
[edit | edit source]Wakana was well-known as having one of the largest magie capacities of any Lily in the world. So when Amano Soraha, with the largest magie capacity in history, entered Yurigaoka in middle school, Garden faculty assigned Wakana to be her mentor. Having a large capacity doesn't mean one is able to utilize it, so the hope was Wakana would be able to guide her in this way.
Transferring in during middle school is something Yurigaoka reserves only for a small handful of exceptional geniuses. Moreover, Soraha had essentially been drafted into being a Lily. This led to her feeling isolated and frustrated with her life. Fortunately, Wakana did more than just teach Soraha how to use her magie, she spent as much time as possible with her to help heal her heart. This helped to change Soraha into the legendary Lily she is today. The two took the Schutzengel's Oath together the day Soraha entered high school.
Combat Style
[edit | edit source]As a third year Lily, Wakana is part of the Duel Generation, and her personal combat prowess is top class. She's particularly known for her elegant CHARM handling, said to be smooth enough to leave afterimages, yet utilized with swift precision. These qualities have been inherited by her Schild Soraha, as well as Soraha's own Schild, Egawa Kusumi.
Most third year Lilies only participate in the Neunwelt Tactic as finishers, but Wakana, with her high tactical understanding, sets herself apart by having had an exceptionally easy time adapting to it. With her rare skill Regista, she's also capable of taking command of a Neunwelt. Her style of command is aggressive, so when she takes over for Álfheimr, they press forward, heavily on the offensive. This produces overwhelming power, but at the same time, ruins the balance of their formations. Even so, at times that's exactly what's needed.
