Fia and Honoka[1]

Descended from the Blademaster family of military-class workers, Backstriker Honoka Koizumi (then known as the Bladebreaker) proudly volunteered for military assignment on her 15th birthday, her family already having been training her for succession. As expected, she quickly proved one of the most promising cadets, her work with the sword unparalleled. For a time, she was even mentored by Bloodspiller Kallista Cornett, only to lose her without warning when she self-destructed to save Drinkspiller Viola Harper from an Engel attack. In the aftermath of it, she was stirred from her grief by her roommate, Heartstopper Aria Hawthorne, became closer to her, to pull her back from her grief. In return, Honoka made an effort to mentor her, as Kallista had her... but that was what sealed her fate.

After a few months, rumors began to spread that while training the Hearstopper, Honoka had been bullying her, reducing her to tears with her harsh criticism. The charges were easy to believe for the fairly haughty Honoka, and in retribution, her family title was withheld from her until such a time as she proved herself worthy of it, instead being given the title of Backstriker, and she was transferred to the 113th Company. Now, Backstriker Honoka works tirelessly to reclaim her family legacy, training until her superiors have to drag her from the training grounds, volunteering for any mission that comes by her unit, and doing whatever grunt work is asked of her. Despite all of this, however, she’s still only managed to attain the rank of Corporal, as though someone is making an effort to keep her in her place.

Overview
Pilot Backstiker Honoka Koizumi
Model IPS-N Nelson
Affiliation The Vuurstahl Empire
NPC Class Weaponmaster Ronin
Status Active

One in a long line of Nelsons created for the Koizumi family, the Radiance wields a Terashima blade, the signature weapon of the Blademasters. With its abilities, the Backstriker is able to quickly adapt to situations on the battlefield, giving her the edge required to handle a wide range of enemy frames. Despite this, however, her disgrace has resulted in her Nelson not being made to the same standards as her predecessors. It's not until she can prove herself again that she'll be allowed a fully-powerful frame.
