Yamato
Yamato
Delivers charged attacks with finesse
Yamato uses precise strikes to decimate her rivals. However, such damaging attacks often will leave her exposed, so she needs to make every shot count.
犯罪組織のボスの家に生まれた花桜梨とその兄の大和にとって、 父の死後に「セブンスムーン」の跡目を継ぐのは自明のことでもあった。 そして何年もの間、かれらは対等の立場で組織を率いて利益と成功を もたらし、やがてはアメリカへの進出をも目論むようになった。 思い描いていた計画は単純で、 大和がアメリカに渡って花桜梨の 国際的な存在感を高め、その間花桜梨は日本に残って国内を統制する、 といったものだった。 兄妹にとって不運だったのは、花桜梨が日本で 指揮をとるという計画を快く思わない部下たちがいたことだった。 そして迅速かつ暴力的な形で、反乱は発生した。大和は花桜梨を 守るために命を落とし、花桜梨と数人の忠実な部下たちは、 その大和の犠牲のおかげもあって、日本からアメリカへと 逃げ延びることに成功した。 アメリカに着いた花桜梨たちを出迎えたのは、本来であれば大和が 会う予定となっていた男であった。彼は日本人の名前になじみが なかったため性別の区別がついておらず、花桜梨のことを 「ヤマト」と呼んだ。花桜梨は男の間違いを正そうと思ったが、 結局そのままにした。兄の記憶を残し続けるためにも、その名を名乗り、 その夢を受け継ぐことが最善の道であろうと考えたからだ。
