Description
Towa Amane crafts a charismatic, outgoing public image as a fashion model idolized by teens like Rumi Hizutome. This carefully maintained facade violently clashes with her true self, revealed online. There, she lives as Arthur Pencilgon.
As Pencilgon, her gaming legacy began in *United Rounds* as Pencil Knight. She crowned herself the "Dystopian Empress," ruling tyrannically by exploiting NPCs and players – dragging kings and suspending princesses from ceilings – to fuel conflict and prevent player exodus. Her reign ended when Sunraku and Oikatzo stormed her castle, resulting in mutual destruction and sparking begrudging respect.
In *Shangri-La Frontier*, she continues as Arthur Pencilgon, co-founding the PK clan Ashura-Kai with her younger brother Orcelott and serving as its number two. Dubbed the "Giant Killer" or "No-Life Killer," she specializes in toppling higher-level foes through meticulous strategy and information warfare. Discovering Sunraku's presence, she initiates a manhunt, deploying Ashura-Kai forces as insurance despite his newbie status. Her planning includes equipping status-ailment protections against unforeseen threats. Growing disillusioned with Ashura-Kai's lack of ambition, particularly their refusal to defeat the Colossus Wezaemon after repeated failures, choosing instead to farm it for experience, she betrays the clan. She founds her own guild, Wolfgang, assuming leadership.
Her core personality is fiercely competitive, narcissistic, and ruthlessly sadistic. She openly displays manipulative aggression and unfiltered malice, baiting players for amusement. Yet, she harbors surprising depth: sympathizing deeply with the NPC Setsuna's tragic backstory, an act shocking allies like Sunraku and Oikatzo. She also demonstrates unexpected camaraderie, offering resources and secret grinding spots to help Sunraku and Oikatzo level. Boredom with unchallenging scenarios or unmotivated people drives her decisions, including leaving Ashura-Kai.
Her *Shangri-La Frontier* build leverages the "Guiding Blood" origin, making standard NPCs friendly but drawing hostility from high-Karma NPCs. Her primary job class is "Hero," unlocked by obtaining the Holy Spear Caledfwlch. Her sub-job is "Magic Lancer." At Level 99, she gains the Arcanum "Strength," buffing stats against higher-level enemies but debuffing against lower-level ones. Key abilities include "Broken Shell" (armor-piercing buffs), "Shadow Wedge" (immobilization via shadow-piercing spears), and "All or Nothing" (high-damage spear throws). Other skills involve buffs like "Serial Killer" and debuffs like "Silhouette’s Sneer."
She wears the "Evil Queen’s Battlegear" set and wields the Darkhelm Spear Zanbararia, scaling damage with negative karma. Later, she obtains the Slaughter Bringer sword after killing Orcelott; activated by chant, it deals lethal damage to high-level players. Notable items include the "Karmic Straw Doll" (curse reflection) and "Scales of Compensation" (item sacrifice mechanics).
Her development sees her evolve from a solitary tyrant to Wolfgang's strategic leader, using management skills to forge alliances like with Schwarz Vulf. Though self-serving, she orchestrates Wezaemon's defeat, unifying players for ambitious goals. Her relationship with Sunraku shifts from adversarial to cooperatively competitive, reflecting mutual respect forged through encounters across multiple games.
