Yuka Kon

Yuka Kon is the Operator of Kuruma Unit.

Appearance
Kon is a light-skinned young woman of average height with big, close-set eyes in a muted teal hue. Her short black hair is cropped in an angled bobcut with a fringe. She wears contact lenses. Her attire of choice appears to be the combination of a blouse with a knee-length skirt and stockings. In her trion body she wears the standard Operator uniform.

Personality
Kon is considerate, put-together person with a penchant for looking after others. Her serious, no-nonsense personality often causes her to become exasperated with Taichi Betsuyaku's extremely clumsy, boisterous nature; more generally, she will not hesitate to speak up if she believes someone to act or speak in an insensitive manner.

Kō Murakami
Kon and Murakami are teammates and friends, and on occasion hang out together with the rest of Suzunari First. She will often ask him how he feels about fighting opponents he has never or rarely clashed against before. She mostly addresses him by his first name followed by the honorific -kun.

Tatsuya Kuruma
Kon hangs out with her squadmates in her free time, suggesting they are on friendly terms. Kuruma often has to calm her down when Betsuyaku's shenanigans frustrate her. He addresses her by her surname followed by the diminutive suffix -chan.

Taichi Betsuyaku
Betsuyaku's klutziness, which his other teammates tolerate or find amusing, tends to irritate Kon, causing her to sometimes scold or even physically punish him. For these reasons, he finds her slightly intimidating. Nonetheless, the two may hang out with their teammates even outside of Border. She calls him by his first name with no honorific, presumably signifying closeness, whereas he addresses her very respectfully, appending the honorific -senpai to her surname.

Mako Hitomi
Hitomi and Kon are school friends.

Mirai Hatohara, Yuu Kunichika and Isami Tōma
Kon is classmates with Hatohara, Kunichika and Tōma. She has helped the latter two improve their disastrous grades.

Abilities
As the Operator of a unit that has managed to climb to the upper tier of B-rank, Kon is presumably a competent multi-tasker. She appears to have made no notable errors in round 3 or round 7 of the current season of rank battles, giving her teammates timely warnings as well as promptly activating and deactivating visual support. Like her other teammates, she contributes to the strategies of her unit.

Outside of Border, she is known to be a good cook and student. She is also a very skilled calligrapher, having reached the rank 4th dan of the adult division.
