Shinozuka Arashi

Japanese name:

篠塚 アラシ

Age: 16

Shinozuka Arashi is the daughter of a great martial-artist, Arashi (referred to as Shinozuka by Hajiki) left her home in Day Town to live on her own in Night Town, going to the same neighborhood catholic school as Hajiki and his friends. She ran away from home feeling she would never be good enough for her father, who expected before her birth to have a son only to be disappointed with a daughter instead and Arashi was given a boy's name because of that. As she came from a good part of town, Arashi has some trouble at first adjusting to life in the ghetto such as her belongings getting stolen and not having batteries to cope with the power shutting off at midnight. She soon learns and tries to teach herself to fit in, doing everything from making friends with some of the boys at school to getting a job as a billboard repair worker to support herself. She is witness to the creation of Lightning, and after seeing Zero (belonging to Katana), Thunderbolt (Takumi) and Messerschmitt (Aiko), she longs for a Gad of her own, something she later finds by accident.
