Chisato Madison Age: 22 Birthday: October 22 Height: 5'4" Weight: 114 lbs. Weapons: Fists/Claws Armor: Medium Armor Favorite Food: Fruit Sandwich (dummied item) Favorite Instrument: Organ Starting Equipment: Stun Gun, Mithril Coat, Jeanne's Helm, Silver Greaves, Gale Earring Starting Skills: 290 SP, Copying 4 Voice Actor: Jessica K. Heidt The hotshot reporter for the Nede Chronicle who follows the party around. Also a blackbelt in Shingu style Jujitsu, made even more impressive because she's an expert in a martial art not from Nede... but oh well. Chisato doesn't have that many powerful weapons. In fact, none of her weapons have over 1000 attack power. Her biggest strength, then, is the fact that she has more multi-hit Killer Moves than any other person. Use them liberally. Use them well. Of course, the regular combat skills apply. Chisato also starts out with the Writing Talent, so invest in Authoring if you want, and she also starts out Level 4 in Copying, which is good since Copying takes so many SP. Her attack is okay, kind of slow, but with good range. My nitpicky commentary on voice: It's okay, if a bit off. She can't seem to decide whether she writes standard news ("And this is how the monster ceased to exist"), sports ("I wonder who the MVP is?"), or is in fact a movie director ("Okay, cut, end it there"). Still, she's "in-character" so I like that. Battle Strategy: Even though she is not that powerful, Chisato has some of the most useful Killer Moves in the game. I would recruit her over Noel and even Dias, if it came down to it. Still, you do get her kind of late in the game...

Twister
MP: 5 Proficiency: 240
Chisato somehow turns her body into a buzzsaw like attacking mode and hits the enemy multiple times. Okay if you manage to pull it off, since you can be hit out of it.

Burning Cards
MP: 7 Proficiency: 200
Throws burning business cards at the enemy for multiple hits. As the level increases so does the number of cards. Okay damage, but not that worthwhile unless you really invest.

Whirlwind
MP: 12 Proficiency: 200
A combination of martial arts moves. As the proficiency increases so does the number of moves. If you're good you can "juggle" the enemy since the hits sends to toss the enemy slightly into the air. One of Chisato's better moves.

10,000 Volts
MP: 15 Level: 44 Proficiency: 200
Fires an electrical field, which gets larger and wider with more proficiency. Doesn't hit that many times, but is helpful to keep yourself from getting swarmed by the enemy. If you can pull it off in time, that is...

Flame Thrower
MP: 16 Level: 53 Proficiency: 200
Whoo! This is like a supercharged version of Opera's Flame Launcher. Expect to hit a heck of a lot of times and to kill any enemy weak against fire. Each hit does the same damage as a normal attack! Fire-elemental.

Rising Dragon
MP: 13 Level: 62 Proficiency: 200
Like Whirlwind, only more powerful. Again, more moves as the level increases. At the end, if you're high enough in proficiency, you'll knock the enemy into the air and hit them more times. Another great move.

Tear Gas
MP: 25 Level: 68
Summons a truly ominous looking thing that fires gas at the enemy. Who cares, it hits a heck of a lot of times. If you can get the enemy up against the wall, we're talking at least ten hits! Even though it sounds strange, turn off Strong Blow because that affects even the gas.

Preparation
MP: 16 Level: 76 Proficiency: 240
Chisato calls up some missiles to hit the enemy. It takes forever for the missiles to come, though, and you may very well kill everything before the missiles come. I find Tear Gas more useful than this move.
