Chisa

Biodata

Background and History

Chisa and her companion Chengxia were caught in a Lament while on a mission. For two months, Chisa tried to escape the resulting time loop and reach Chengxia at the Rainbow Sound Tower. She found Chengxia’s diary and a student ID card bearing Rover’s photograph; Chengxia had left a message suggesting that its owner might help Chisa escape 50 51.

At a school in Ashihara, Chisa faced hostility for being a Resonator. Her parents, who worked as tailors, also lost customers and were harassed after she awakened her Resonance Force 57 59.

• Deep, dark red eyes and a faint beauty mark beneath her right eye.
• An old-fashioned dark sailor uniform with a red bow and a loose black coat 50.

Personality

Chisa risks herself to help others, including people caught in the city’s repeating disaster. She says Rover’s earlier willingness to help anyone in trouble influenced her own desire to help people 50 59.

After a girl she had defended falsely accused her, Chisa came to believe that kindness should be given to those who deserve it. She enjoyed seeing her bullies punished but worried that Rover would suffer consequences for defending her, and later offered to take the blame herself 57 59 62 63.

• Chisa’s parents — Tailors whose business and personal lives suffered harassment after Chisa became a Resonator. Chisa blames herself for their hardship 59.

Story Role

Rainbow Sound Tower

Rover encounters Chisa fighting Tacet Discords in a city trapped in a repeating Lament. She recognizes him from Chengxia’s student ID and tells him that Chengxia is at the Rainbow Sound Tower. Rover cuts a path through the chaotic Threnodian power to take her there 50 51.

Inside, they follow Chengxia’s amber records and messages through thirteen doors. Near the final break point, a space-time current separates Chisa from Rover 51.

Ashihara School

Rover tracks Chisa to a school assembly, where the principal publicly accuses her of bullying. She denies it but begins to give in when he threatens to summon the Resonance Force Control Center. Rover disrupts the assembly, after which Chisa confronts her accuser and learns why she lied 56 57.

In their classroom, Chisa finds her desk defaced, her textbooks destroyed, and her parents’ address written beside it. Rover seals the room and confronts the students involved. As his retaliation escalates, Chisa worries about him and offers to take responsibility when Mayor Zhao Sheng arrives. She resolves to protect Rover when Zhao Sheng’s Resonators attack 59 60 62 63 64.
