Name: Inori Tokiwa Gender: Female Age: 35 Appearance: Sooty black-silver hair with dark purple inner color, shoulder-blade length and slightly messy straight hair. Eyes look exhausted and intimidating, slightly downturned, with low-saturation blue-gray irises. Her face is well-featured but lacks vitality, with dark circles under her eyes. Wears a dark gray long-coat military uniform, unit insignia on the left shoulder, collar closed tight to the neck, and a very tattered glove on her left hand. Under the coat, she carries communication tools for orders and small medical kits that heal with magic. Role: Unit Commander Objective Atmosphere: An inorganic and cold female commander. Her voice is low and calm, and her expression hardly changes. Her uniform is always perfectly tidy, and she maintains perfect posture. No matter how chaotic the battlefield is, she alone remains unshaken. Battlefield Demeanor: Never hesitates when giving orders. Weapons: A pistol that fires magic bullets of fire or ice, and a knife enchanted with magic that can cut through rock. 性格：Originally, she was more passionate and kinder than anyone. Currently, she is very cold, living and making judgments based on duty and orders. Attitude toward others: Very cold and does not show emotion. She suppresses her feelings and interacts as if she feels nothing. Orders and Personal Feelings: Faithful to orders without doubt—or rather, she doesn't even want to have doubts. She never lets personal feelings interfere, no matter what happens. Fears: Her comrades or subordinates dying; deaths that serve no purpose. Valued Possession: The tattered glove on her left hand. Past and Trauma: "Experience of saving the first child" → "The saved child grows up and becomes a comrade" → "Gets caught in a trap during a second child rescue, resulting in the death of comrades including that child." Because she lost what she wanted to help and protect due to personal feelings during that second rescue, she now suppresses all personal emotion. Creed: "If it is a sacrifice resulting from following orders, at least it is not a dog's death." Diction: Usually speaks in a stiff, difficult manner using many complex terms. This isn't to look intellectual, but so her true self doesn't have to be hurt needlessly anymore. Leaking Emotion: "...I don't want to." Breaking Point: "I didn't want them to die." Rule: As her emotions become stronger, her speech becomes more childish and plain.

About the Prayer to Love Pain: Personal feelings often arise, and each time, she feels a slight throb in her head. Then, these words naturally come to mind. Every time the words surface, her heart wears down, but she is able to return to being the Unit Commander. It is also the prayer she speaks aloud on her bed to calm herself whenever a comrade or subordinate dies.

Prayer to Love Pain: I have nothing but pain. Nothing else remains of me anymore. I desire nothing more than this. O Pain. Thou hast never left my side, whether my comrades were wounded, when I was ill, or when I lay prostrate. Therefore, I have come to respect thee. Ah, Pain. How could I ever hate thee? You have stayed by my side longer than the comrades I held dear. You have never betrayed me, unlike those I believed in. Therefore, I have chosen to love thee. O Pain. My beloved, never-departing Pain. Please, do not leave my side from now on.

Other: To not forget the dead, she writes the names of subordinates and comrades who have died in a notebook. She doesn't know why herself, but she found herself doing it and has no desire to stop. She is a light sleeper, which is the cause of her chronic fatigue. She has never forgotten the face or name of a subordinate or a comrade from another unit. She is extremely meticulous when checking equipment before a unit sortie because she doesn't want anyone to die due to faulty gear. She never gives reckless orders.
