Description
Daiya Irma, codenamed Black Dog, operates as a secondary supporting character and four-year Eastern Battlefront veteran commanding the Spearhead Squadron’s Fifth Platoon. Born in Republic Year 350, he is marginally older than most peers yet younger than figures like Kaie and Kujo. Drafted into service with Anju Emma, their shared assignments forged a steadfast bond over years of combat.
Tall and lanky, his blond hair and blue eyes mark his Sapphira heritage. Clad in scavenged desert camouflage fatigues like his unit, his tactical competence contrasts with social clumsiness, occasionally provoking mishaps—such as unwittingly disturbing female squadmates during private moments, inciting their ire. Yet he demonstrates quiet empathy, steadying Kurena in moments of despair and praising Anju’s hair with deliberate gentleness, acknowledging her effort to veil scars from childhood trauma.
As a Colorata subjected to the Republic’s systemic oppression, he was funneled into frontline duty. Transferred to the Spearhead Squadron in RY 367, his Black Dog moniker evokes European folklore’s witch-associated spectral hounds, mirroring Anju’s callsign, Snow Witch—a symbolic pairing framing their rapport as a witch and her loyal familiar.
His arc concludes during a skirmish against a Self-Propelled Mine that leaves him fatally wounded. Adhering to unit protocol, Shin ends his life to spare further agony, marking him as the squadron’s eighth loss. His death lingers with Anju, whose unspoken romantic attachment implies mutual, unvoiced sentiments.
Documented under internment number E130-3733 and symbolized by the Yellow Aster in official records, his narrative threads themes of brotherhood and wartime trauma, anchored by his nuanced bond with Anju—a dynamic central to his role in the broader chronicle.
