Synopsis[]
Prologue Arc[]
Aruka was a member of the Resistance alongside her younger brother Cruz. She was second-in-command to Zakat, and provided information about a possible opportunity to assassinate Simeon's leader, Adam Arclight. However, Arclight's forces were expecting them, and they were mercilessly slaughtered. Aruka was believed to have died while protecting Cruz from a Testament.
Simeon Arc[]
Much to Cruz's shock and surprise, not only did Aruka survive the attack, she was also the final member of Simeon's Elite Four and the one that leaked the resistance's information to Simeon. She had infiltrated the Resistance in order to steal a datachip that contained information vital to Simeon, and set them up to be slaughtered. However, the Resistance were not the only ones she was deceiving. Despite being with Cruz since childhood, she kept him in the dark about her allegiance to Simeon and only used 10% of her power around him. She claims to despise him due to him being useless and always depending on her, but kept him with her despite joining Arclight and hesitated to kill him herself when the resistance was slaughtered. She tends to wear featureless white masks. This was necessary to hide her identity due to her role as a spy, her identity as a Simeon King was so hidden even Disc didn't know who she was. After being unmasked in Simeon Tower, she almost kills Cruz, and steals his pendant, where Zakat had hidden the Resistance information chip. She tried to finish him off twice but had trouble striking the finishing blow due to various interruptions. She was defeated by Blade, but he did not kill her.
Moustache Arc[]
After the PF Zero blast she has been ordered by Arclight to search and finish Cruz off, due in part that they think he still has information useful to them. But the next time she sees him she pretends not to, and blows a hole in a wall blocking his escape. As she killed Hatfield's non-powered subordinate, she mentions that's she wants to see if Cruz can survive the situation now that she's made it slightly possible to live through. Her reason for this are unknown.
Powers and Abilities[]
Similar to her younger brother Cruz Schild, she also possesses a natural analytic ability to deduce the strengths and weaknesses of others. For example, she was able to use her insight to neutralize Solva, Seto, and Teruyama's abilities, crushing them in a matter of seconds.
Fragment: "Agnis Schiwattas" or "The Breath of Fire", Initially portraying herself as a needless with a weak fire fragment, capable of only creating a small flame on her hands and unable to take down a single testament herself. The true identity of Agnis Schiwattas allows her to accelerate the kinetic energy to vibrate the molecules resulting in massive explosions, melting solid objects and incinerating anything in mere seconds. She is even able to defeat other needless with a Fire fragment, who possess some resistance to heat easily.
She is apparently the strongest of all fire Needless. Later chapters reveal that she is one of only 12 Needless that bear Stigmata, the sign of the most powerful of all Needless. While Cruz's Fragment could defend against anything, this Fragment in contrast could destroy or pierce through anything.
