Major Motoko Kusanagi is a member of the elite Unit 501 and later Public Security Section 9 in Ghost in the Shell: Arise.
History[]
Early life[]
Motoko Kusanagi's birth and upbringing occurred under unusual circumstances. Her mother died in an accident while she was still pregnant with Motoko, but doctors were able save the fetus's brain and implant it in a cyborg body, meaning that Motoko was effectively cyberized from birth. As cyborgs were extremely expensive and the procedure could not be covered by health insurance, the government placed Motoko in the care of the JGSDF's Unit 501, where she was raised by the unit's leader, Lieutenant Colonel Mamuro. Eventually, she entered active duty and employed her skills as a wizard-class hacker in the service of Unit 501, attaining the rank of major.
Appearance[]
Motoko is completely redesigned in Arise. Her cybernetic body is shown as far younger in appearance and shorter in height to other versions, resembling a teenager or young adult and not much taller than Chief Aramaki. Her hair is blue and cut in a close, straight bang form, and she is usually shown wearing full red leather pants and jackets and high heel boots. Was damit war scheinlich zu tun hat das Motoko in dieser Intapreation ein Motorrad fährt.
Personality and traits[]
Arise is Motoko wilder than in other Iker nations. At some points she is impatient and impulsive, which is why she places a lot of value on her independence. She has a distant relationship with team members and often refers to them as material.
