About Character and Role:
The series' most prominent villain, Alphard is an attractive young woman who is both the leader of a terrorist organization called Snake and Canaan's arch-enemy.

Canaan
🇯🇵 カナン
Character ID : 19713
About Character and Role:
Canaan is the main character of the series, a mercenary currently operating in Shanghai. She was the only survivor of a village destroyed by war in the middle East before being found and trained by Siam, who has her adopting the name Canaan. She developed a mutual respect for her mentor during the course of her training, but after he was killed by Alphard, her mind is consumed by the thought of revenge and often gets serious whenever she sees Alphard. As an elite mercenary, Canaan is also a skilled marksman and an expert of combat. She possesses the ability known as synesthesia which allows her to concentrate and combine her senses. She uses this ability as a radar to locate others, to hack into mechanical systems, and to dodge/deflect bullets easily. If she overuses it, however, her strength will be exhausted and she will collapse. Canaan has blond hair and hazel eyes, but whenever she uses synesthesia, her eyes turn red. As she was living in isolation for most of her life, she treasures the friendship with Maria Ōsawa, the first friend she has in years, to the point of prioritizing Maria's safety above all else and ruthlessly killing anyone she deems as a threat to Maria. Despite this cold-blooded nature, she enjoys going out with Maria as well as living a normal life.

About Character and Role:
Usually seen smiling, Maria is one of the central characters of the series. Two years ago during the events of 428: Fūsasareta Shibuya de, she was abducted by terrorists and was infected with the Ua virus, surviving the ordeal only thanks to the anti-virus her father developed. She befriended Canaan after being saved from hoodlums during a trip somewhere in the Middle East. As her dream is to become a photographer, she became the partner of Minoru Minorikawa before the pair's assignment in Shanghai and her subsequent reuniting with Canaan. Despite being aware of Canaan's dangerous life, Maria tries her best to stay close to her friend. Many characters have made fun of her ahoge hairstyle and her relatively small bust size.
