Kotona Elegance was born and raised along with her twin sister in a secluded and mythically "cursed" providence of Iron Rock thousands of years after the Calamity of Planet Zi. Her family had served as proud assassins whom swore their lives to protect their village's coveted secret from anyone whom dared to venture in. But such a life was not for her. When she was of age, Kotona proved to be the stronger of her twin sister, and as a consequence, the weaker would be killed. Rather than obey her tradition, she fled in an attempt to save her sister's life. It was here she came across her first Zoid and beloved companion the Rainbow Jerk.
For some time, the young ex-assassin would lay low in the city of Kaguraku where she would perform odd jobs as a promising Zoid pilot and skilled bounty hunter. On one fateful night while hunting a group of Zoid thieves, she stumbled upon a novice Zoid pilot, whom she used as bait. She didn't know it yet, but those two would soon become fast friends and embark on an adventure with a band of friends to stop an invading Empire from completely conquering the continent.
For a long time, Kotona kept her history as an assassin a total secret from even her closest friends until their journey forced her to return. WHen she left, her town had been free of the Empire's iron grip on the region, but she soon learned that even her well hidden home was no match for the ever grasping claws of the Emperor. What was once a mysterious village was now home to a base of operations that used nearby materials to fashion their deadly new BioZoids. She could not condone the Empire's actions anymore than allowing the assassination of her own twin, and would vow to destroy it.
As the war between the Resistance and the Digald Empire raged, Kotona was the only pilot in their ragtag group whom owned a flying Zoid. The Resistance often looked to her for recon missions and air support- however, her air superiority was often challenged by squadrons of flying BioZoids, namely her own rival. A Digald Colonel by the name of Felme.
While sometimes flirtatious, Kotona is far from amourous. In most cases, she uses her beauty and charm in order to lure bounties into traps, or to get out of otherwise dicey situations be it from bandits or even Digald Soldiers. Charisma aside; despite her small frame, Kotona is still an assassin at heart. She carries a plethora of weapons at all times from classic kuni and other clandestine weapons to some more heavier firepower, all concealed in convenient compartments within her attire. To anyone she is close to- be it friends or family- She is incredibly loyal and generous to. She'll often go out of her way to help her friends and family if need be, even if one of her closest friends constantly tries to win her affections. (Which always ends in his antics being totally ignored.)
