On the surface, we are sisters who get along well. In reality, I'm nothing but her plaything.
I'm Katsura Kokoro, and I have to escape this terrifying cage.
Black Lily, Volume One
Development Notes: As I developed Katsura Kokoro, I kept wondering what kind of character she should be.
She bears psychological scars left by Katsura Kotonoha. When triggered in just the right way, her desires surge endlessly and cannot be stopped. They will never be cured over the course of this book.
She was born loving books and has a wealth of knowledge, with interests ranging from literature, aesthetics, medicine, and design. Unfortunately, she has almost no combat ability, and her damaged nerves prevent her from using the most powerful chip technology in this book.
She has a rare strength and boldness for someone in her position, yet her emotions are extraordinarily fragile. Once she is broken emotionally, she can easily lose all will to fight.
Some parts of Katsura Kokoro's personality are innate, others shaped by experience. All mixed together, she is truly full of contradictions.
Will she sink into her desires, or hold on to hope and keep moving forward? I lean toward the former, because I'm a little wicked.
