An Esper who emerged from nothingness, with an uncanny sense for the "Nexus" residing within every anomaly.

Per special assignment from the Bureau, Zero went to work for Eibon—part antique shop, part anomaly hunter outfit—as their newest appraiser.

Thing is, Zero hasn't secured an official anomaly hunter license yet... Is diving straight into fieldwork really a good idea?

"Relax, if we only dealt in above-board stuff, half this shop would be empty—and yet here we are, open for business! And with a promising recruit like you? My precious, a little rule-bending never hurt anyone!"

…Well, if the owner of Eibon says so, looks like it's time to dive headfirst into everything this vibrant city has to offer.

A rising star in the BAC's Containment Strike Unit 2 (CSU-2). Mint is a walking encyclopedia of everyone in the neighborhood, and the best local guide to cheap eats anywhere in the city! From the no-nonsense payroll lady in General Affairs, the stingy cafeteria guy who always skimps on the fries, and the stoic head chef at the Budoriya, to the hyperactive cashier at DSD Pop Toy Shop, Mint can chat the ear off of anyone... but only when she's not on duty, of course!

You can go off on the wildest tangents, and she'll happily keep the conversation rolling...

Just don't bring up her scores on the containment safety exams. That's the one topic she'd rather avoid!

The top ace of Eibon Antique Shop, the most renowned family head in the Bridge Crossings, and the brightest rising star Esper in all of Hethereau!

Steadfast and dignified. Generous and kind. Wise and calm.

Nanally Colucci has taken part in countless major anomaly containment and nullification operations, including "Danzaburou's Revenge," the "Fluffy Demon King Showdown," and the "V-class Wrath GR Cloud Crisis." With her signature move, the "Colucci Ultimate Death Shadow Nether Punch," she sweeps the floor with every opponent she's ever faced, undefeated!

She may look like an intern, but her badge reads "Pink Paws Bank (New Herland District HQ) - Lobby Manager." You might raise an eyebrow at the bank's hiring standards—until Chiz opens her mouth. Every clause, every condition, every fine-print footnote, recited without missing a beat. Okay, maybe she is the real deal.

"H-Hello, would you like to apply for a card... W-Wait, it's not a scam, I swear!"

At Sterry, intel has a way of arriving before packages do, and this network runs smoothly thanks to Jiuyuan's coordination.

She excels at reading people, piecing together the full story from the smallest of details. A few quiet words are all it takes for someone to let something slip without ever realizing it. With her first-rate social instincts and years of carefully cultivated connections, she is a regular guest at Hethereau's most exclusive, off-the-books private gatherings—rubbing elbows with powerful figures who'd rather not be seen, and walking away with exactly what she came for.

Hathor didn't overthink it when her Mentor gave her the task—become an elite courier. She learned the workflow, and then got straight to work.

Precise. Punctual. No complaints, no matter how far the destination or how many flights of stairs.

She can pinpoint an unmarked drop-off in the middle of a storm without a map or GPS.

Even when a client fills out the wrong address, she figures it out, from whatever scraps of information there are.

A client once called her memory incredible, but she just finished the job and said nothing.

To Hathor, it's simple: plan the route, cut out the variables, and execute. Everything else is just going through the motions.

Captain of ETD-4 at the Bureau of Anomaly Control. Baicang—carefree, irreverent, blunt to a fault, master of dodging work, and a walking troublemaker.

Over on the BAC-internal Bagel chat group, a thread has taken on a life of its own: "Who's the least captain-like captain in all of ETD?"

"Is it just me, or does Captain Baicang from Squad 4 have a seriously messed-up sense of humor???"

"Drop the 'or', every night I'm lying in bed and it hits me, he's pranked me again. I can't even describe the rage."

...

With zero remorse for his antics, Baicang swoops in to gleefully leave likes and add the whole thread to his favorites.

Even by the ETD's enigmatic hiring standards, Fadia is something else entirely.

"...so we got orders to back up ETD-4, and I... I tried to remind her the Bureau wanted to minimize collateral damage. She just smiled at me. Told me to close my eyes..."

"It was a beautiful smile, but I wasn't getting any ideas, I swear!"

"So I closed my eyes, and next thing I knew, something wet got pressed on my mouth."

"It was the oddity we'd been chasing through the sewers. THE SEWER ODDITY TOOK MY FIRST KISS! WAAAAAH!"

Normally, Fadia would be more than happy to stick around and tease the traumatized little rookie. But why play with her food when a truly worthy prey just stepped onto her hunting ground?

"Ohhh~ what kind of pain are you going to bring? I can't wait to find out~"

It's not that Daffodill dislikes talking. She just never quite knows how to start. She's less interested in reading people than she is in observing anomalies and the world around her. Focus on the target, coil up muscles, dash forward, draw blade and strike... her well-honed skills serve only those she deems worthy. Beneath her unreadable expression, there might just be a flicker of warmth, like sunlight catching fresh snow.

"If you need me... I am here."

"Rule 1: Don't feed random junk to Kiroumaru!"

"Rule 2: Don't look down on people!"

"Rule 3: Don't open the third shelf in the fridge!"

Meet Sakiri—author of the sticky-note rules on Eibon's fridge.

Not that anyone actually follows them. Ahem.

But if you get on her bad side, you'll have her Anomaly war hammer, Kiroumaru, to worry about. So remember to keep a respectful distance.
