Takara Shimizu

Takara Shimizu is a 19-year-old Cyber-Newtype who served in the Ivalice Alliance as an ensign.

Thanks to her intensity and dedication in the war effort, her performance was exemplary, even among her fellow Newtypes. However, when the war was eventually lost, the Ivalice government ordered her killed, to hide the fact that artificially-created Newtypes were used. Using her skills, she somehow managed to escape, but they still disavaowed any knowledge of and erased any information about her existence and/or actions, so she has nothing to fall back on--no home to return to. This is when she learns about the Strugglers. Lacking better options, she investigates.

Takara is tall, and a very tough woman both physically and mentally, and one of the hardest workers you'll ever find. However, due to a lack of recreational opportunities in the service, she plays just as hard as she works when she has the chance, making sure to embrace the opportunity all she can while it lasts.
