Arrow (アロー, Arō) is a former Third Generation pyrokinetic and the Primary Vice-Commander of the Knights of the Ashen Flame,[1] that served as the Third Pillar's guardian.

Appearance[]

Arrow is a young woman with long dark-blue hair kept in a small bun with light coloured clips in her bangs that frame her face, and up or down-pointing arrows as her iris in each dark blue eye. She dons the uniform of the White-Clad; a white burqa-like mask, a white cape with shoulder-guards, a jumper with a red cross-insignia on it, white gloves and white trousers. Underneath her concealing clothing, Arrow has a curvy figure with large breasts and heavy thighs. Following her duel with Takehisa Hinawa, she has a scar across her face, which runs horizontally, just above the bridge of her nose.

Personality[]

Arrow showing anger

Arrow showing a rare expression of anger.

Arrow carries a calm and tranquil persona. She is very serious and dedicated to the White-Clad goals. Being a loyal servant of the Evangelist, she does not express concern about harming others to aid her master. Arrow believes that the world is nearing a great change and that no human emotion has value in the face of this inevitable and global change. As such she is willing to ignore the free will of others and her own emotion to enable the new future. In spite of her detached outlook, she has great difficulty dealing with Haumea's flippant and childish nature. Often talking back to the girl and suffering her verbal abuse when plans derail.

Arrow reveals that she lives to serve Sho and will follow him anywhere no matter what he does. She does not hesitate to say she will leave the White hoods with Sho when he questions her motives. She has as strong sense of loyalty and duty towards him, living solely to be his shield and support. Sho notes Arrow just follows his orders not directly distinguishing between right or wrong.

Arrow is shown to be very understanding, hopeful, and passionate. She shows a much more expressive side after following Sho to leave the White Clad and truly believes Shinra has to power to change fate. Arrow worked well with Company 8 during the cataclysm despite there past turmoil, showing her to be forgiving.

Abilities[]

Arrow ignition

Arrows Ignition Ability

Arrow is a Third Generation, capable of igniting her left arm to create a bow and arrow made of flames, making her a long-distance combatant. Her eyesight allows her to fire from extremely long-range and she excels when she is using stealth to confuse and ambush her foes. Her Ignition Ability is regarded as powerful, which has demonstrated the capability to burn through an inflammable coat instantly.[2] Using this ability, she can change the trajectory of her arrows to hit her opponents from a far distance. The strength of her fired arrows are powerful enough to tear off a limb,[3] preventing a skilled Second Generation from repelling them, and piercing straight through a man's chest.[4] Her arrows are not only extremely strong and durable but can change trajectory in mid-air. In the case of her arrows being deflected, she can create explosive arrows. As a result of these long range and highly damaging attacks, Arrow is compared to a tank and her allies have faith in her raw power

Although Arrow is able to rise to her feet first and readies her next attack, Hinawa manages to trick her into firing first.

Before being able to fire again, Maki begins physically overwhelming her, prompting Haumea to intervene. Dissatisfied with Arrow's performance as a bodyguard, Haumea sends an electric current through her body. After Arthur sets off an EMP, Arrow fires at him and Vulcan but misses their vehicle.
