The Manager
⚔
The woman running Ember's duelist career, with a rather hands-on and personal approach. She's uninhibited with her sadism and prone to breaking out in laughter.
The only thing that seems to excite her more than orchestrating violence on stream is watching films of cybernetic installation surgery— she's quite the metal fetishist.

Although she initially signed Ember on for her rare (albeit dated) cybernetics, her performance on the strip proved that she was worth putting more time— and attention— into.
Now, she aims to push Ember to have the most spectacular performance possible, one that will inevitably end with her prized fighter's death in the ring.

Miscellaneous design notes:
- Big grin should always be exaggerated
- Fat, although she spends the money needed for a well-tailored suit
- Rarely seen without her recording drones, never seen without her pervert glasses.

The initial design intent here was to make a woman who fits the trope of a sleazy buisnessman who perhaps dabbles in organized crime. She is fully aware that this is how she comes off, and chooses to lean into it.
(You would be unsurprised to see some copied design notes from Kaiji here. I will elaborate on these connections more once the game is done...)
