Chisato Nishikigi is said to be the strongest Lycoris. She enjoys taking on special missions that others cannot handle and prefers to use non-lethal methods to neutralize her opponents. At Café LycoReco, she works cheerfully and happily, calling herself the café’s poster girl.

History

Chisato Nishikigi was adopted by the DA as a young girl and trained in the Offensive Security Force, earning top marks. She later transferred to the Special Guard Force Tactics Unit, where her grades dropped. Born with a congenital heart disease, she received an artificial heart from the Alan Institute to survive.

While at DA Tokyo Headquarters, she shared a room with Fuki Harukawa. She gained fame for single-handedly protecting the Old Radio Tower from a terrorist attack, earning recognition even in rural areas.

Eventually, Chisato left the DA and began working independently under her Lycoris license at Café LycoReco.
