Chisato Nishikigi

Chisato Nishikigi (錦木 千束) is the main protagonist of the original anime series, Lycoris Recoil.

Appearance
Chisato is a young girl with medium-length blonde hair and red eyes. She usually wears a red ribbon, tied in a bow in the left side of her hair. When operating as a Lycoris, she wears her red 1st Lycoris uniform paired with black knee-high socks. When working at café LycoReco, she wears a red samue with grey and lime-green accents, a grey kimono skirt and a beige apron wrapped around her waist. She also wears an Alan Institute pendant around her neck at all times.

Profile
Said to be the strongest Lycoris of all time. She enjoys solving private-sector problems that the DA would not address. At Café LycoReco, she works joyfully and cheerfully as the self-proclaimed poster girl.

Movement Prediction
Chisato is a genius at predicting her opponent's next move. Utilising information such as the movement of muscles and clothing, a weapon's characteristics and ballistic properties, the shooter's line of sight and trigger finger position, she can time the perfect evasive maneuver or counterattack. Chisato also accounts for the experience of her opponents. Fuki surmised that the more precise the shooter, the easier it is for her to dodge. As shots become more consistent, they become more predictable. As such, she is even able to dodge projectiles at point blank range.

Athleticism
Chisato displays abnormally high levels of raw athleticism, with strength, stamina, agility and reaction times far surpassing even the top Lycoris at DA Headquarters. When completing her physical fitness test alongside Fuki, an A-rated 1st Lycoris, she far outperforms her peer with little exertion. She is also extremely physically resilient, being able to perform without compromise even after sustaining intense physical trauma.
