Cave is a sniper belonging to the Leanbox RRoD. She's close friends with Chika Hakozaki and 5pb., who are also Leanbox natives. People tend to think of her as a cool and stylish adult woman, but in reality, she is self-conscious about the fact that her appearance doesn't translate well to cuter clothes.
Profile[]
Appearance[]
Cave is a tall woman with long off-red colored hair worn in short, shoulder length pigtails held with black ribbons attached to a white, maid/nurse like cap. Her eyes are bright emerald green while her skin is fair in coloring.
Cave wears a somewhat revealing outfit looking to be a mixture of a nurse, maid, and magical girl uniforms. It's white with red lining and minimal golden pieces. At her chest, legs, arms, and lower half is black parts. At her neck is a red ribbon with a green piece in the center. Her gloves and boots are long with small red lining near the end and black and gold parts above them. While the front of her dress is short, the back of it is longer with light orange coloring inside. She has pink ball/orb earrings. The upper arm on her outfit also sport a Cave Co. "C" logo.
Personality[]
Cave has a very calm and collected personality, similar to Purple Heart, Neptune's goddess form. She speaks in such a proper manner that it's almost robotic; she is also pretty blunt with her opinions and words.
Cave has insecurities regarding her self-esteem, she thinks that people consider her cold and stiff. Thus, she believes that cute things do not fit her image as a "cool" and "mature" woman.
Being a member of the military, Cave also has a sense of justice and is willing to save strangers in need, as shown when she saves Nepgear despite having never met her before. With her close friends, this kindness is much more apparent, although she is not above playfully teasing her friends for the sake of humor.
Cave is also very prideful and passionate regarding competitions that involve dodging, her specialty. Even a playful splash of water can trigger her competitive streak and she will treat it as a splash battle.
