"Great! More enemies, meow!"

Whenever Jinx Meow was around, she was almost always the first in the Research Commission to attack...
"Hello there! Come say hi to my good friends! Meowhahahahaha!"
The little lunatic cat pulled out Pow-Pow and fired two bursts at the charging samurai, stopping them in their tracks and forcing them back toward Kawamatsu and the others, then promptly pulled out her Fishbones rocket launcher.

Accompanied by the little lunatic cat's drawn-out, cheerful cry, a shell painted with a vicious face trailed a long plume of flame, cutting off everything Kawamatsu had been about to say to smooth things over.
Jinx Meow was no idiot. Naturally, she knew these samurai weren't really enemies. At most, they had some connection to that idiot Kozuki Oden, so they weren't quite right in the head, just like Cat Viper and Inuarashi back then, and Yamato, whom she had only just met.
But although they weren't enemies, they weren't friends either.
Those samurai attacked first anyway, so it's only natural for us to fight back, right? Besides, they're that idiot Oden's subordinates. As long as I don't kill them, Xie Wen and Big Sister Huamei won't hold it against me for attacking, meow!
Jinx Meow silently worked through her calculations as she raised Pow-Pow again and unleashed another barrage at Kawamatsu and the others.
