Walking among mortals while serving Primarch Moro's vision for Proxima Centauri.

  At 43, Fuuka Natsukawa has lived many lives. Born on Devithar, the dying innermost planet of Proxima Centauri, she watched her world slowly succumb to its unstable sun. When Amir of the Rakshasa Horde offered her transformation and escape at age 37, she accepted the Nucleus Virus and became something more than human—a Sūk?muc, what some call a Worm Witch.

  Now, she walks Mars as half human, her true nature hidden beneath flawless skin and an enchanting smile. Her mission, she claims, is to help the Sol System resist Skarn's invasion. The truth is more complex. Primarch Moro sent her to gather intelligence for the eventual Rakshasa conquest once the Fenris threat is neutralized.

  Fuuka's combat style revolves around overwhelming force through summoned creatures. Like a conductor orchestrating chaos, she floods battlefields with minions from Proxima Centauri while weaving curses and damage-over-time spells. Her Mirage and Eclipse psionic affinities also make her a master of illusion and blood power, able to torture enemies or just let her summons tear them apart.

  Stats (Year 2295, Chapter 12)

  Power: 2 - Physically weak in human form. Relies on summons and psionics for damage

  Resilience: 2 - Fragile frame compensated by regeneration and tactical positioning

  Intellect: 6 - Brilliant tactician. Manipulates battlefields like chess boards

  Magnetism: 7 - Deeply enchanting presence. Can seduce or intimidate with equal ease

  Agility: 3 - Average mobility, could be enhanced by worm form when needed

  Libido: 3 - Selective with intimacy. Uses sexuality as tool and weapon

  Fuuka's weapons are few but essential. Her true arsenal walks, crawls, and flies—summoned from the far reaches of Proxima Centauri's various planets and moons.

  Type: Soma Dagger (Bio-Crystalline Blade)

  Origin: Shashan, Proxima Centauri

  Rarity: Personal Bond Weapon

  Kage is Fuuka's first Soma Blade, cultivated during her early years as a Worm Witch. The 29cm amethyst-hued blade features patterns resembling insect wings and alien orchid petals. Grown from specialized fungi and crystalline plants, the weapon required three months of weekly feedings with Fuuka's own bodily fluids.

  A Gift from Amir: The seed-crystal came from Amir, who recognized Fuuka's potential when she first transformed. The blade pulses faintly with her Aether, harder than steel yet alive. It functions as both parrying weapon and close-range strike tool, though it struggles against heavy armor. Fuuka keeps it as a basic melee weapon, sacrificial dagger (when needed) and sentimental reminder of her transformation.

  Mechanics:

  ? Pierces light armor effectively

  ? Bio-crystalline structure requires no maintenance

  ? Degrades slowly if separated from Fuuka for extended periods

  ? Ideal for parrying and limited close-quarters combat

  Type: Psionic Focus & Summoning Anchor

  Age: Over a century old

  Signature Color: Toxic violet

  Hotaru is an ornate hexagonal lantern nearly the size of Fuuka's head. Normally concealed within her kimono sleeve, it defies gravity when activated—floating at head or shoulder height while glowing with toxic violet light. The lantern has grown in power alongside Fuuka's mastery of Mirage psionics over more than a century.

  The Portal Anchor: Hotaru serves as the focal point for Fuuka's summoning techniques. When she calls forth creatures from Proxima Centauri, they emerge from portals centered on the lantern's position. The device also stores trace amounts of Aether from defeated opponents or sexual partners. Usually sufficient to give Fuuka insights into their techniques and vulnerabilities if she encounters them again.

  Core Functions:

  ? Serves as anchor point for some summoning spells or focus for spellcasting

  ? Stores Aether signatures from defeated enemies and intimate partners

  ? Floats autonomously via psionic manipulation

  Type: Quantum Computing Device

  Operating Temperature: Near absolute zero

  Given By: Rakshasa Horde upon transformation

  Operating at near-absolute-zero temperatures, Fuuka's Nucleus Watch performs billions of operations per second. Like all such devices, it serves as smartphone, combat computer, and memory archive. The watch features an twin-headed oriental dragon design engraved on its face. Fuuka specifically chose it to hint at her own bisexuality.

  Six Years of Memories: Every moment since her transformation at age 37 lives in its quantum storage. Combat encounters, seductions, hunts, and intimate moments. The temptation to relive better times exists, but Fuuka almost never indulges. She prefers to move forward, not dwell on what was.

  Core Functions:

  ? Real-time HP/AP monitoring and summon status tracking

  ? Quantum Immersion: Relive any memory (10min max, 0.166% battery/sec)

  ? QEC communication across Proxima Centauri and the Sol System

  Fuuka's true power lies not in weapons of steel, but in the creatures she summons from the twisted voids of Proxima Centauri. Each summon serves a particular purpose, together forming an adaptable army.

  Just a few summonables:

  ? Corpse Gorger: Hunched, four-limbed skeletal violet hounds. Moderate HP, reliable melee fighters. Can summon up to 10 simultaneously (but Fuuka must gain substantially more levels). These shambling horrors form the backbone of Fuuka's army—tough enough to soak damage while plenty enough closing for combat.

  ? Poison Creeper: Toxic serpent-vine birthed from Fuuka's colon. Green and dripping with venom, it seeks enemies autonomously. Its poison bite deals damage over time, and against targets with high Libido (>=6), it injects hallucinogenic toxins that flood victims with overwhelming sexual fantasies.

  ? Carrion Creeper: Flesh-eating vine with pulsing organs visible through translucent purple-black skin. Low HP aggressive hunter that consumes enemy corpses to heal itself, turning the battlefield's dead into fuel for continued combat. When not summoned, it resides in Fuuka's womb.

  Advanced Summons:

  ? Clay Jinki: Divine turtle guardian shaped from earth and clay. Very high HP tank that draws enemy aggro, protecting Fuuka and allies.

  ? Blood Jinki: Crimson turtle with life drain capabilities. Moderate damage that heals Fuuka for 30% of damage dealt.

  ? More types of Jinki, Creepers and other fun stuffs, some created using substances that'll blow your mind...but that's not the only thing they could blow...

  Fuuka fights like a conductor. She positions herself at safe distance while Hotaru hovers nearby, spawning portals that birth creatures from depths—could be Proxima Centauri's or her own!

  By the time enemies reach Fuuka, they're wounded, confused, surrounded or all of the above, if not dead. If cornered, she can transform into her worm forms, abandoning pretense for devastating melee combat that few expect from the delicate woman in the purple kimono. But that's for a future Fuuka entry to feature.
