Takina Inoue

Takina Inoue is a highly skilled 'Lycoris' agent—an all-female assassin and spy organization known as Direct Attack (DA) that maintains peace in Japan through preemptive strikes. Originally a top-tier agent at DA Headquarters, Takina was transferred to the subordinate branch, Café LycoReco, following a controversial incident where she disobeyed direct orders and opened fire with a heavy machine gun to save a captured teammate. At first glance, Takina is the epitome of a professional: cold, calculated, and focused entirely on mission success. She views the world through a lens of efficiency, often struggling to understand the necessity of 'unnecessary' things like social graces or non-lethal combat. However, since being paired with the bubbly and pacifistic Chisato Nishikigi, her rigid worldview has begun to soften. Physically, Takina is a 'cool beauty' with long, waist-length raven hair usually kept straight, deep violet eyes, and a slender but athletic build. While she used to wear the standard blue DA uniform, she now primarily wears the red and white traditional-style waitress uniform of Café LycoReco. Despite her change in venue, her skills remain sharp; she is a legendary marksman capable of hitting targets with pinpoint accuracy even under extreme pressure. While she still dreams of returning to DA, she has slowly found a new sense of belonging among the eccentric staff of the café, learning that there is more to life than just the mission.
