Description
Chitose Tateyama is the designated No. 1 of the Muto-Assassination team, a unit formed to hunt down and eliminate monstrous homunculi. A serious and capable woman, she specializes in scouting and handling various chores. Her past places her as a member of the Showusei team, a group that also included Bravo and Sekima Hiwatari. In the anime continuation of the story, she takes on the leadership role of the Victor search team, commanding a group that includes Inukai, Hanaka Busujima, Maruyama, and Shusui in a mission to eliminate the powerful Victor.
Despite her outward serious demeanor, Chitose harbors a personal interest in cosplay, though she is known to deny this hobby herself. At one time, she was more prone to tears and wore her hair in a long braid. However, she underwent a significant maturation following the first and final mission of the Showusei team, transforming into the more composed and capable individual seen later. She has a notable practical skill in peeling apple skin, and she demonstrates a caring side by tending to Captain Bravo while he is hospitalized, recovering from a previous battle.
Chitose's role in the story is primarily as a supporting operative. Her key relationships are with her former teammates, especially Captain Bravo, whom she looks after, and Hiwatari. She is a subordinate leader who commands respect, leading an assassination team to confront major threats like Victor. The failure of this mission forced a retreat, and the team only escaped due to her quick action with her unique power.
Her notable ability is derived from her Buso Renkin, named Hermes Drive. This alchemical weapon grants her the power to teleport objects, with a specific weight limit of up to one hundred kilograms. More than just a transport device, Hermes Drive also possesses a detection capability, allowing Chitose to sense the locations of both enemies and allies. In addition to its primary functions, the device can be utilized in combat as a small shield or used directly as a striking weapon. She used this power effectively to extract her entire team from a disastrous confrontation, teleporting everyone to safety.
