Bullet was brought up in a mercenary squad, the only girl among its all-male members. She considered them the only family she knew and grew attached to the captain of her squadron. At some point, a combat instructor known as Amane Nishiki was hired by the squadron's drill sergeant; compelled to join in with her family, Bullet participated in the training of three days and nights of solely Oriental dance. Amane soon left, realizing that he had mistaken the "troops" for a "troupe," and Bullet swore revenge, the music of that night permanently engraved into her memory.

Stage 3: Amane Nishiki

Bullet: ...You...?! Amane: Hm? Are you talking to me? Bullet: Oh, never mind... I think I have the wrong person. Sorry. Amane: Whoa whoa, are you trying to say there are others out there who look just like me? You've got my attention. Would you mind sharing your story? Bullet: I didn't mean to say you looked like someone else, I just... Well, how about I share my story as an apology? Amane: Sounds like a fair trade to me. Bullet: That was nearly 10 years ago...when I was still a child. Our drill sergeant said something about integrating new moves into our combat, so he brought a guest instructor... I remember the instructor saying, "I heard you guys were amazing troops! I've come all the way to witness your prowess!" Or something. Amane: I see, I see. Bullet: And this instructor...he kept telling us, "You guys don't even have the basics down!" and made us dance around some strange watch-tower like structure... Apparently it's some sort of traditional dance from the Orient. The troops took good care of me, so I participated... Amane: And then? And then? Bullet: For three days and three nights, the instructor forced us to perform this dance, until suddenly, he said, "Dammit, I got the wrong troupe!" and vanished completely... Amane: Oh my... Bullet: That was hell itself...and I still remember it like yesterday. And that oriental music...is...is still burned into my memory! Amane: Hahaha, so that instructor mixed up "troops" with "troupe" huh? What a clumsy little fellow. And you're saying this instructor guy looks a lot like me? Bullet: Exactly... Amane: That's because...it was me. Bullet: ...You're dead! <Bullet Victory> Amane: Guheah... This isn't good. I shall take my leave here. Bullet: I don't ever want to see your face again! Still... Can that man be telling the truth? If he really was that instructor from 10 years ago, how does he not age?

Stage 6: Valkenhayn R. Hellsing

Bullet: Non-humans like you walking amongst us... I must be getting warm. Valkenhayn: That is quite a strong accusation you make, young lady, and an impolite one at that. Nonetheless, I thought I was doing a good job concealing my presence. I suppose age is a foe against which no man can fight. Bullet: There is no need for manners against non-humans. Valkenhayn: A vigorous young lady, you are... Now, what might a humble old man do for you? Bullet: ...I'm looking for another non-human named "Kokonoe". If you know anything about her, I suggest you begin talking. Valkenhayn: Even if I had that knowledge, I would not simply hand it over to a little GIRL with no manners. Bullet: I normally don't cross fists with the elderly, but... To a non-human wrought with the stench of blood like yourself, I will show no mercy. Valkenhayn: You, too, leave me no choice. I suppose it is up to me to teach you some manners. <Bullet Victory> Bullet: Guh... Damn non-human...you're strong. Valkenhayn: Quite impressive for a young girl... I'm not sure this old body can take much more punishment of that caliber. Nonetheless, your combat form...it seems somehow...familiar. Bullet: Huh? Valkenhayn: ?! Madam Rachel...?! Understood. I am heading over post-haste. Bullet: What's going on!? H-Hey, wait, you non-human! Guh...damn, my legs... I guess I'm still no match for the likes of him.

Stage 7: Iron Tager

Bullet: Tch...I've lost him. Clearly, he knew something... Tager: Hey, what are you doing here? Bullet: ?! You're...the Red Devil from Sector Seven. Tager: I'm still waiting for an answer... Bullet: Heh heh heh... Today must be my lucky day. To think I would just happen to run into Kokonoe's little puppy... Tager: Are you with the Library? Bullet: ...Where's your master, Kokonoe? Hm? Tager: Do you really think I'll answer that? Kokonoe: *Noise* I'm right here. What do you want? Tager: H-Hey... Kokonoe. Kokonoe: Don't worry... She piqued my interest, and I felt like talking to her. What's your name? Bullet: This isn't ars magus... Are you using radio waves transmitted through some relay? The noise is terrible... To think that THE Kokonoe would be using such outdated technology. Tager: ... Bullet: The name's "Bullet"... I was one of the mercenaries hired by you, Sector Seven. I have questions about the incident from 5 years ago... The mission to take back a phenomena weapon. Kokonoe: ...You must be talking about Nirvana. For the record, I don't know much about that incident myself. I suppose you could say "They found something shiny and went after it"... Bullet: Bullshit. I'm not sure what you told the public, but that mission was carefully orchestrated by "Relius Clover". I know that much... ...Because it was my team that took point. Kokonoe: Huh? Tager: ... Bullet: I was injured in a previous mission and didn't take part in the strike team...so here I am. Alive. But what I really want to know is...where is the other survivor? Kokonoe: Dead. Bullet: Tch... Lies. Kokonoe: Tager, eliminate her. Tager: Huh? O-Oh, right... Sorry, could you repeat that? Kokonoe: ...Terminate that girl...now. Tager: Roger that. <Bullet Victory> Bullet: Hmph, like you were barely even trying... Are you mocking me? Tager: ...Guh. Bullet: What the–?!

Stage 8: Nu-13

Bullet: Red Devil...where the hell did you go? Where is this...? Some facility in the Library? Nu: ...Activating. Activating. Activating. Bullet: Who's there!? Nu: Target confirmed... Combat ability level B+. Commencing operation mode C. Bullet: ...A girl? Hazama: Oh my...looks like I fished out a strange one... Now, who might you be? Bullet: A voice? Where are you!? Tch... One thing after another. What the hell's going on here? Hazama: Hmm...but the fact that you're here must mean you have an invitation to the "party". I suppose you're a piece of the puzzle, too... Somehow... Bullet: Party...? What are you talking about? Nu: ...Roger. Deploying petals. Bullet: Hmph, not even going to dignify that with an answer, huh? *Sigh* Calm down. Focus on the opponent in front of you... She's definitely dangerous. Nu: Murakumo Unit...activate. Now commencing termination.

Paranoia

AD2200/01/29 Bullet: Hm...? U-Uh...! Shit...did I really just doze off? Bullet: ...Tomorrow, I'll be in Ikaruga. I suppose I should go over my infiltration plan and remember the layout... Still, this isn't my first time in Ikaruga, but it looks...quite different. Right now this place is governed by... The Black Knight: Kagura...and the Mutsuki family. Of all people... I should try to avoid any contact with the Library. Mmm, I guess I lucked out...there wasn't much seithr here. Wasn't hard to throw up a barrier. ...But it's strange. It's almost too thin. Ah, I should stop thinking about that stuff. My thoughts are all over the place. Focus, focus. Bullet: Heh, the guys in my squad used to tell me that a lot... I need to focus more. ...Guys... Bullet: ... Bullet: ...I will...avenge you. Captain...did you really... ...Betray us?

Story Mode

Chrono Phantasma

Just outside of the Ikaruga Region, Bullet woke from a nightmare in cold sweat. She collected her thoughts and reminded herself that she would be in the region tomorrow morning. She soon arrived at the 7th Hierarchical City of Kazamotsu where she accidentally bumped into Ragna the Bloodedge at a Chinese restaurant. Bullet recognized him from his wanted posters and asked what she should do if she theoretically came across the Grim Reaper, the most wanted man in the world. Taokaka, who was with Ragna, insensitively commented on her risque uniform, provoking Bullet into punching Ragna, only making him call her “butt floss” in retaliation. He then continued to mock her uniform, further angering Bullet, until she threatened to not show any mercy the next time they would meet. Ragna insults her again before she left in a huff. This exchange was undone by Phenomenon Intervention done by Izanami and the Takamagahara System.

Instead of bumping into Ragna and there being aggravation between the two, Bullet ran to his side as blood gushed out of him. He knew her name, having remembered it from the previous phase leaving her shocked. She let him leave the restaurant, not knowing what to do.

Bullet joined as a participator of the Battle of Ragna the Bloodedge, winning her first victory in supposed style, being good enough that even Rachel Alucard had casually bet on her. As she entered the Colosseum for the final qualifiers, her opponent, Bob, was defeated by Azrael, who entered the arena. He told her that he killed most of her unit and she engaged him battle, but was defeated; the Mad Dog broke both her legs and one of her arms, taunting her again and again. She couldn't fight, Azrael was going to kill her, but Ragna jumped into the arena, handing Bullet to Celica A. Mercury, who took her back to the infirmary. Bullet's weakness was because of Celica's presence, which restricted her use of Ars Magus.

Sector Seven

When Bullet arrived in Ikaruga she found Amane, recognizing him from years before. She did not believe he was the same person since his appearance was the same, and told him the story of the dancing instructor from years ago. At the end of it, Amane confessed he was the same person and Bullet promised that she would kill him. The battle, however, was a stalemate and Amane left after telling her to follow her instincts. Bullet then flipped a coin, taking his advice – it landed on heads, so she pursued Kokonoe with renewed vigor.

Bullet was found by Azrael near the 8th Hierarchical City of Wadatsumi and he told her that he recognized her unit's emblem. Bullet attempted to fight, but was nearly bested, so used a grenade to cover her retreat. She hid in Yabiko from the Mad Dog, knowing that he would be unlikely to walk into the area's shopping district. Bullet saw Litchi Faye-Ling outside of restaurant's window and chased after her, demanding to know Kokonoe's location. Even though Litchi did not know the answer, Bullet still attacked, but the doctor escaped. Bullet was angry at herself for this, saying she was no better than Azrael.

When at Wadatsumi again, Bullet found Bang Shishigami, who had fallen deep into the underground area she was in. He initially mistook her for Litchi but she slapped some sense into him and the two decided to work together in order to find Relius. Bang told her that Relius likely instigated the Ikaruga Civil War, and that he was responsible for organizing the death of Tenjo Amanohokosaka. She attacked Bang when he kept talking about Litchi's figure.

Both Bang and Bullet set up camp that night, although she was initially on guard for most of the time they spent together. Bang eventually made her laugh with a belly dance and the two talked about their past – they were kindred spirits – both were dedicated to a master who was no longer with them, and they promised each other that they help one another on their quests.

Bang and Bullet went to Yabiko to continue their investigation, although Bullet's questionable methods of borderline interrogation were stopped by Bang, who wondered how she was not already in prison. They both saw Arakune, noting it to be extremely suspicious – they both gave chase, ending up in the Grave Marker of Bases. Relius was there, as was Litchi, Kagura, Makoto Nanaya, and Kokonoe. She listened to Relius and Kokonoe explain about the Ikaruga Civil War, and that her squadron was just a pawn in Relius' game. The mad scientist also revealed that he was going to create another Black Beast with Arakune as the foundation.

Central Fiction

A warrior who wandered around as an orphan of war before she was picked up and raised by a mercenary squad. That squad, with the exception of the caption Tager and Bullet herself, was annihilated. Since then, together with Tager, she has worked as a mercenary under Kokonoe's watch.

Becoming one of the chosen, Bullet was absorbed into the Embryo, and came to believe that she had been a member of Sector Seven as her memories were altered. She was deployed by Kokonoe alongside Tager to the 13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi to capture the Azure Grimoire. En route to Kagutsuchi's main hub, she came across Platinum the Trinity in Bascule but was unable to properly see her due to her fluctuating existence, and continued forward towards her objective. She was found by Noel in Roningai, and was nearly arrested until Tager came to her aide – they both retreated. She descended to the lower levels, admitting to herself that she had underestimated Noel, and coming into contact with Arakune and fighting him off

Like all the other Entited, Bullet was transported to Ikaruga. Because of the seithr around where she was transported, it took her longer than she expected to get back into contact with Sector Seven. She eventually found Tager and, despite his warnings, went to pursue Arakune to bring him back to Kokonoe. In a forest, Bullet's memories had failed to truly return to her, as she only saw flashes of her past. Azrael found her, but was disappointed in her being one of the last of the chosen to regain their memories. He ruthlessly beat her and left her and telling her about her past. Bullet resolved to find Tager, unsure if he was or wasn't the captain of her squad. Ragna would soon appear and devour her dream.

Finally putting her past behind her

Soon enough, Bullet's memories did return, and she called out for Tager to meet her in the Colosseum. There she challenged him over his memories, knowing that he had to be the captain that she had spent the last few years searching for, but Tager revealed to her that his memories had been sealed away and that he can't remember anything before coming into Kokonoe's service. Bullet challenged him, hoping that she could prove to her former captain that she is stronger than she was when she was a child – through her strength and resolve, Bullet won, and told him that she would striving down her own path, and would not be weighed down by her past.

In the new world created by Ragna, Bullet returned to Sector Seven, being sent on a mission with Tager to Yabiko.
