Profile

Kyouka Okazaki is a brash, stubborn, outspoken tomboy, who never backs down from a challenge, but also friendly, outgoing, and enthusiastic when she lets her guard down. She's a recent arrival to Japan, thanks to her family moving, and is still trying to find her footing as a newly-enrolled student at Juuban high school. If learning how to adjust to a whole new culture and attending a real school for the first time in her life weren't bad enough, she also happens to have recently come into the possession of Strike Wolf, an Intelligent Device that has granted her the ability to turn into a magical girl. The only problem is, the device is incomplete and the creator is missing. So now as she learns the ins and outs of fighting evil, she's also searching for the missing inventor so she can return the device to its rightful owner.

Background

Kyouka is the Japanese-American daughter of a military family, and has moved around far, far too many times for her liking. As a result she's been all over the place and seen far more of the world than most girls her age. She's officially a U.S. citizen born abroad, but has barely spent any time in her 'home' country.

While her father is the one in the armed services, her mother is a teacher, and as such Kyouka has never lacked for constant access to schooling no matter their posting. Her mother is a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Japan, and has made sure that Kyouka is fluent in Japanese as well as English, as a way of providing a root to her heritage and culture. (Kyouka has also joked that she knows how to ask "Where is the bathroom?" in more languages than anyone else on Earth.)

On their most recent posting, Kyouka convinced her parents to het her enroll in a regular high school, arguing that by the next time they moved she might have missed out entirely on the chance to have any kind of a normal childhood experience. They finally relented after Kyouka demonstrated that she could pass the entrance exams. Kyouka's mother pushed for her to attend Ohtori because of the prestige it would bring, but Kyouka pushed for Juuban and won out when she pointed out that the Sister Schools program would give her access to Ohtori (and the Infinity Institute.) Her mother has taken up residence off base with Kyouka in order to help support her.

One recommendation she did accept from her mother was to use her mother's maiden name of Okazaki rather than her father's last name of Channing, though begrudgingly. As much as it pains her to 'pretend', there's also a part of her desparate to fit in.

Her life took a much more complicated turn when she happened across a rank D mage terrorizing people in the street (including a classmate of hers, Himeko, who had formed an instant dislike of Kyouka and made no attempt to hide it.)

Or at least, attempting to terrorize people. The intelligent Device he was holding, Strike Wolf, refused to obey his commands. So distracted was he by the device's refusal to obey, that Kyouka was able to intervene, directly saving Himiko's life and drawing the mage's attention away from several others. Kyouka pressed her surprise advantage to startle the rogue mage into dropping the device, whereupon she snatched it and took off, looking for cover and to draw the mage away from the scene.

Strike Wolf revealed itself to her, deeming Kyouka worthy of wielding its power (thanks to her selflessness and willingness to endanger herself for the sake of others.) They formed a contract, and, newly empowered, Kyouka and Strike Wolf were able to quickly dispatch the mage.

Sadly, once Kyouka made the contract, Recognition Inhibition took hold, meaning that Himiko doesn't remember Kyouka's involvement let alone the event itselkf (much to the latter's annoyance), but Kyouka has much bigger problems on her plate now.

Strike Wolf's creator is missing, and neither she nor the device itself know where she is. Even worse, the device is incomplete, and lacking many functions that would be useful in protecting the streets or locating the creator. So, in addition to fitting in in a new place, she works to master her new powers, do her part to keep Tokyo safe, and searches for Strike Wolf's creator so that she may return the device to its rightful owner.

Skills and Abilities

Being an avid fan of the outdoors and physical activities in general, Kyouka's dabbled in almost every sport that she's encountered, but her biggest loves are parkour and martial arts: two activities that don't require any equipment, just her own physical abilities, and that she can carry with her no matter where in the world she goes. Parkour helps her to always view the world in interesting ways, looking for new lines that she can use reach new places. Martial arts feeds into her love of learning about different cultures, and she's studied under everyone she could, preferring to mix and match the different things she knows rather than strictly sticking to a single style.


She calls on both of these abilities when transformed, using Strike Wolf's power to enhance her speed, power, agility, and mobility. When untransformed she's constantly on the move, and this is only more true in her magical girl form. She'll breeze in to deliver a hard and fast blow from up close with her enhanced strength and then dart out of the way of retaliatory attacks, running up and bouncing off of walls and other obstacles to make her position from any moment to the next difficult to predict. She hasn't quite mastered the art of using spells yet, but she has a wealth of fighting techniques to fall back on in the meantime.

Her other biggest love is food--both cooking and eating it. Again, having picked up food and recipes from all over the world, she loves experimenting with new styles and sampling local cuisine.

Relationships

Family

Drew Channing
"That's my dad! He's pretty awesome. We love to go camping and fishing together. I just wish we got to spend more time together... His work keeps him busy."

Drew Channing is a member of the U.S. military, and his work has taken him literally around the world. Very loving, but also very busy. Gets to see his family less than usual since his most recent posting to Japan, as he's living on-base while his wife has taken up residence in Tokyo to give their daughter a chance to have some semblance of a normal childhood for a while.

Yuki Okazaki
"My mom. I know she means well, but... ugh. She's always lecturing me about my future. I don't even know what I want yet, but I wish she'd let me figure it out for myself."

A Japanese-born woman who emigrated to the U.S., then followed along with her husband around the world, but is now living in Tokyo with her daughter to support Kyouka's efforts to lead a normal life. They love each other, though there's often friction between them. They do both share a love of cooking and trying new cuisine, as well as exploring different cultures.

Yuki is a teacher, and was responsible for most of Kyouka's homeschooling until the latter enrolled in Juuban. Now she works as a substitute at Ohtori, filling in when needed and handling other miscellaneous tasks.

Wolfy
"My best friend! We've been inseparable since I was 8. It's nice having someone who loves the outdoors as much as I do."

The family pet, a Siberian husky, who's the only being with as much energy and enthusiasm for the outdoors as Kyouka herself. Named by an 8-year-old Kyouka.

Devices

Strike Wolf
"My partner. I don't know a lot about him yet, but... He chose me when he needed help, and I'm not about to let him down."

An incomplete prototype Intelligent Device, who was stolen by a mage and then recovered by Kyouka. Strike Wolf allowed Kyouka to make a contract with him due to her selflessness and willingness to risk herself for others. Kyouka trusts him with her life (literally), and is dedicated to finding Strike Wolf's creator so he can be returned to his rightful owner. She proposed that they view each other as partners, instead of user and device, which Strike Wolf accepted.

Classmates

Himiko Hasegawa
"Ugh. You'd think after saving someone's life they'd be grateful, but since it involved magic she doesn't remember a thing. I don't hate her or anything, but it'd be nice if she left me alone."

A classmate of Kyouka's. A few different students tried to haze or otherwise put down the new girl, but Kyouka proved difficult to pin anything to. That made most of them lose interest... except for Himiko. Kyouka plays it cool with Himiko, mostly because she knows that not reacting is actually geting under her skin far more than anything else she might do.

Kyouka saved Himiko's live during the same incident where she met Strike Wolf, but once Kyouka formed the contract, she became protected by Recognition Inhibition. Sadly, Kyouka was not fully aware of this fact when she went to check up on Himiko the next day, and accidentally said enough to give Himiko enough fodder to spread some rumors or gossip about her, such as "Hey, did you hear Okazaki telling tall tales about magic like it were a real thing?"

Setsuna Higashi
"We're in Track together. Kind of quiet sometimes, but really friendly if you find the right topics. Also the only person I've ever seen that has a bigger appetite than I do! She... also knows my secret. I... think I can trust her, at least a little bit. "

A classmate of Kyouka's at Juuban, and also in the track club with her. Normally quiet, but she approached Kyouka one day and offered to show her around, and they managed to find some common interests, and Kyouka was looking forward to having made a new friend, finally.

Then Setsuna revealed that she had noticed Kyouka's Intelligent Device, and revealed her own magical girl status, along with her status as a former enemy. Despite that, Kyouka's decided that if Setsuna's intent were to deceive her, there would be far more straightforward ways of going about it--so she's decided to give her the benefit of a doubt, at least for the moment.
