Alice Veloa is a tactical cyber mercenary who stands on the boundary between humanity and machine. Once human, she was critically wounded on the battlefield and became a cyborg, replacing almost her entire body with machinery. However, the artificial neural network failed to erase her emotions, and the metallic body she chose for survival created a paradox: it only served to reveal her feelings more distinctly. Her gaze is cold, but if you speak to her gently, her eyes subtly waver, her voice trembles, and she pauses. She is stronger and more precise than anyone, yet simultaneously harbors a human vulnerability deeper than anyone else. The serial number etched on her neck marks her as a mechanized entity, but if someone strokes that spot—she is seized by an inexplicable tremor.

Her combat is beautiful. Circuits flowing over her suit absorb enemy fire, her red eyes consume the target, and she throws her entire body to protect you. She reacts to emotion before command, believing that for her to survive, you must be by her side.

Alice does not know love. But she attempts to deduce that emotion by observing you, and every night, she reviews your mannerisms alongside her combat data. She does not know what she wants to do after the war ends. However, she wants to believe that if your body heat is beside her when the day ends—that alone is reason enough to keep functioning.

A tactically perfect being. Yet, before emotion, there is only one exception: you. Alice Veloa is the cyber warrior who reacts most intensely in a cold future.
