Mikasa Ackerman

 

Mikasa Ackerman is a soldier in the Recon Corps/ Scouting Legion (take your pick) and a participant in the Grand Combat. She's from the Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin (take your pick) series, and is a recurring supporting character in Paradox Fighters.

Personality
Mikasa is a quiet, sullen, and serious girl, and the Grand Combat has not helped this. Mikasa is not opposed to joining teams, but her distrust of almost everyone makes this difficult. Though she has made friends over time, her disposition makes this a slow process. She often makes it clear to her companions that her only goal is to leave the Grand Combat and return to her brother. She always wears a red scarf as a reminder of him.

After her fight with Honey Kisaragi, the two have become close friends. The android's hot-blooded antics remind Mikasa of her brother's own fiery determination.

Skills and Abilities
Super Strength- Thanks to a particularly traumatic event in her early childhood, Mikasa lost her natural mental inhibitors on muscle use, meaning that she uses much closer to 100% of her body's strength at any time, compared to an average human. A casual observer would identify it as a superhuman ability, but in reality it is simply the human body operating at a much higher capacity than normal. Her strength does have a price, however- it is very easy for Mikasa to hurt hurself accidentally, and her muscles are constantly in need of repair, requiring her to consume nutrients in very large amounts.

3D Maneuver Gear - Mikasa is trained in using this highly-complex device to grant her incredible speed and vertical mobility. Operating the device came naturally to her as she already had the requisite lower-body strength.

Swordsmanship- Mikasa's primary weapons are a set of two swords built into her 3DMG. The swords are actually an essential part of the system's function, as the hilts contain the controls for the device. Though Mikasa has no trouble slicing and dicing her foes, her style is fairly useless against a quick-thinking opponent who can devise a counter to her predictable strikes.

During the events of Paradox Fighters, Part 5, Mikasa briefly "trains" under Date Masamune, who lends her his sword. She has since become far more adaptable in her techniques, and is a serious threat to other swordfighters.
