Description
Yuzu Hanaoka presides over the Game Development Department at Millennium Science School. Profoundly introverted due to social anxiety and fear of judgment, she retreats into isolation, often hiding inside a locker within the clubroom or cardboard boxes outside. This behavior originates from the severe school-wide ridicule her prototype game, "Tales Saga Chronicle," received, shattering her self-confidence. Despite this, she possesses an extraordinary passion for developing and playing video games.
Her appearance features salmon-pink wavy hair styled in short pigtails with a small braid on the left front section and white ribbons woven throughout. She typically wears a white baggy jacket bearing Millennium logos over a yellow hoodie, paired with white sandals displaying the school emblem, though she remains barefoot inside them. A distinctive orange power button-shaped halo floats above her head.
In combat, she wields a customized H&K M320 grenade launcher named "Nyan's Dash," resembling a Nintendo Switch displaying a looping nyan cat video. Her combat skills include area-of-effect explosives and critical damage enhancements: "Game Start!" deals percentage-based area damage, while "Debugging..." boosts critical damage output.
Online, she operates anonymously as "UZQueen," an undefeated legend in fighting and rhythm games. This gaming prowess enhances her reflexes and strategic thinking, increasing visual processing by 2.8 times and decision speed by 1.5 times during high-stakes scenarios. She utilized this ability to remotely pilot the "Avant-garde Mk.3" combat robot during the "Sanctum of Delusion" battle.
Her closest relationships are with Saiba Momoi and Saiba Midori, who joined the department after appreciating her maligned game; their support helps her gradually confront her anxieties. She also bonds with Tendou Alice, notably during the mission infiltrating DIVI:SION's headquarters to rescue Alice from reprogramming. In the ONA *Beautiful Day Dreamer*, she participates in a dream-sequence baseball game and assists Momoi in rescuing Midori from antagonists, reflecting her loyalty despite discomfort in active field roles.
Her character evolves from isolation toward cautious engagement. She volunteers for the "Utnapishtim Ark" expedition alongside Alice, demonstrating increased resolve to protect friends. Her journey includes reconciling her online identity as UZQueen with her real-life persona, though crowds still unsettle her when recognized.
