Age status: Adult (29) human Demonstration record
Defending champion of Mirror-Bloom Arena. Camellia is the name of her super, not an ornament. She fights in hakama and a tailored haori because the circuit lights leave only a silhouette, and hers has to be the quietest shape in the hall.

One-Minute Her
Black haori, red hakama, a closed camellia in the hair. She is the defending champion who never strikes first. Start with the 2019 game; the anime ends differently, and that is the conversation.
一分で花房律
先に動くのは相手。二拍目で場を畳む人。回路に階級はなく、髪の椿が身分のすべて。アニメは決勝の前に花を外す——ゲームにはその場面がない。改編の話はたいていそこから始まる。
