OVA
Description
Canaan, a mercenary operating primarily in Shanghai, originated from a war-torn Middle Eastern village where she was the sole survivor. Discovered and trained by the mentor Siam, he instilled in her a personal code of honor emphasizing the avoidance of revenge-fueled fights and gave her the name "Canaan." Alphard later revealed her intended name was "Despair."
She possesses tan skin, shoulder-length white-blonde hair with distinctive bangs framing her face, gray eyes, and a slim, muscular build. Canaan typically wears a red sleeveless shirt, tan khaki pants, combat boots, and a layered red armband on her left arm concealing a tattoo; this armband frequently sustains damage during combat.
Her personality shifts to intense seriousness when encountering Alphard Al Sheya, a former training partner under Siam. Alphard betrayed Siam, killing him and severing ties with Canaan, leaving a profound emotional scar and fueling Canaan's desire for vengeance – a direct contradiction to Siam's teachings.
Canaan's combat skills include expert marksmanship, favoring the Beretta Px4 Type G 9 mm semi-automatic pistol, and advanced hand-to-hand proficiency. Her unique ability is synesthesia, a rare neurological condition allowing her to perceive emotions as colors. She leverages this in combat to visualize the world in varying color spectra, distinguishing enemies from civilians.
Years prior, Canaan rescued Maria Osawa from harassment in the Middle East. Maria became her closest friend, with their relationship heavily suggested to involve mutual romantic feelings. Canaan deeply cherishes Maria and consistently prioritizes protecting her from threats linked to her mercenary activities. Despite this bond, Canaan ultimately severs ties with Maria following her final confrontation with Alphard to distance her from danger.
A post-credits scene implies Alphard survived their climactic battle; Canaan is later offered an assassination contract targeting a "one-armed woman," a description matching Alphard, setting the stage for unresolved conflict.
