Tabane's got purple eyes and long purple hair down to her hips, paired with a lab coat and robotic rabbit ears. She usually wears a frilly blue-and-white maid-style dress. Despite her genius-level intellect, she's basically the opposite of what you'd expect from a world-class inventor—she bounces around like an excitable kid and constantly refers to herself as "Tabane the Genius," which hints at her somewhat cocky streak. She's genuinely affectionate with people she cares about, hugging them whenever the mood strikes, sometimes repeatedly.
Her energetic personality comes with a cost. Her explosive entrances and childish antics regularly earn her smacks on the head from people like Chifuyu and Houki, though she shrugs off the hits and bounces right back. What's wild is that beneath the hyperactive exterior sits one of the sharpest minds on the planet. She can work at absurd speeds—she reconfigured the Akatsubaki to fit Houki's body in under a minute and casually claimed she could finish setting up the whole thing in seven minutes.
Tabane created the concept for the IS (Infinite Stratos) about ten years ago, originally pitched as a tool for space exploration. She produced 467 cores before essentially vanishing from the world, shocking everyone with the unit's existence in the process. Even in the timeline of the series, she remains the most wanted person by every organization connected to IS technology, purely because of what she knows.
