Chiyoko Sakuta

Chiyoko Sakuta (朔田=千代子, "Sakuta Chiyoko") is a member of the Nagano Police Department's Paranormal Crime Investigation Division (超常犯罪捜査課, Chōjō Hanzai Sōsaka), which deals in tackling supernatural crimes. Ironically, Chiyoko has no supernatural power of her own, and relies on the department's superpowered exoskeletion to deal with threats. She is a self-dubbed "hardboiled detective", though considered "half-boiled" by others, who dresses in the style of the late 1930s. She works as a detective in Nagano in her spare time.

However, when she is investigating the dealings of a possible new Xcution, called EXE, the wandering soul of Gai Nagareboshi possesses her. Due to her strong will, she had managed to compromise with the spirit.

Personality and Traits
Chiyoko's basic personality is an homage to the fiction character of Philip Marlowe, as is her sense of being a hard-boiled detective. Chiyoko is decisive and intuitive making her a remarkable detective even without the help of Gai. At times Chiyoko's emotion and dedication to the choices that she makes causes her to come to blows with others, but she cares deeply about her clients, her friends, and Nagano and will do anything in her power to protect them. Chiyoko often displays great emotion and intuition, and because of her emotional side, she is capable of understanding the emotions and actions of others.

Powers and Abilities
Although outwardly, she seems to be a particularly frail woman, this cannot be further from the truth. Chiyoko possesses excellent physical ability, capable of feats comparable to at least an olympic-level athlete.

Enhanced Endurance: As a result of her training, Chiyoko possesses a rather amazing endurance, and an ability to survive near-death blows.
