Les oreilles de Kanoko ont percé l'annonce et elle a repris l'affaire, relativement simple qu'elle avait faite avec beaucoup de rembourrage et de protection pour son Gunpla chaque fois qu'elle avait besoin d'en prendre sur la route. Dans ce cas, il a été coupé pour deux costumes et leurs accessoires, avec son sac à dos actuellement rempli de vêtements et de fournitures supplémentaires. Ils ont dit que ce serait un plus long séjour à Nielsen Labs que n'importe quel autre camp de Gunpla qu'elle avait été auparavant.
Avec ses cheveux colorés en carotte, l'étudiante bien construite s'est rendue à l'auditorium, passant par ceux qui s'étaient déjà inscrits ou étaient simplement en tournée; elle ne pouvait pas croire sa chance quand elle a appris qu'elle avait été sélectionnée pour l'examen d'entrée du laboratoire, mais avait passé plusieurs semaines à réfléchir ce qui convient à apporter.
À cette fin, elle avait un Zephyranthes Full Vernier légèrement habillé, et un Sinanju Stein elle avait soigneusement pris des heures et des heures pour s'affiner. Selon les règles, bien sûr.
En entrant dans l'auditorium, elle s'est trouvée un peu trop reconnaissante qu'elle soit presque vide, sauf quelques autres. L'idée des examens la rend toujours nerveuse. En descendant vers l'avant, elle a repéré Sachi en agitant la blonde. "Hé. Je suppose que vous êtes là aussi pour les examens de Nielsen Labs? Je peux m'asseoir?" Kanoko a glissé sur le siège à côté de la fille plus courte, un sourire amical sur ses joues.
Name: Kanoko Tanegashi
Age: 17
Gender: F
Apperance: Kanoko is well built and fairly tall, standing at 5'9" and 160ish pounds. She has wider hips and what seems to be a rather large chest, but in reality her body packs a lot more strength than would first appear. Being a weight lifter and someone who does strength training three times a week, Kanoko's form is thick and solid, with even the loosest clothing providing a very difficult fit for her musculature. Highly unusual for someone who likes gunpla and manages to scratchbuild aspects of a kit, other features that stand out are her rounder, cheerier face and her pastel, carrot-colored hair. With vivid green eyes to provide sharp contrast, her face is what attracts the most attention as she's usually dressed in track or exercise wear, mainly due to her workout schedule. Most days she wears a red track jacket, any kind of T-shirt underneath but traditionally ones with interesting patterns, and a pair of spats which are cut just above the knee, colored gray with a black stripe down the side.
Nationality: Japanese
Favourite Gundam Series: Most of the UC continuity, especially Thunderbolt, 0083, and War in the Pocket, IBO, Gundam 00, with a new eye turning towards SEED suits as long as she can ignore most of the show.
Personality: Kanoko is very upbeat and outgoing, and is usually the life of a party. Almost always in a good mood, her attitude is simply bursting with energy, the girl being enthusiastic in almost all of her ventures no matter how tedious. She puts this to good use outside of her schooling and her workouts in the form of her passion for Gunpla, a highly unusual hobby for a girl of her temperament. However, the intense fights of gunpla tournaments resonate with her, and during battles she can be seen wholly throwing herself into the fray, her excitement flooding every attack and dodge to give her haphazard fighting style its own flavor. She's incredibly friendly, and isn't afraid to tell people off if need be, but she prefers to avoid conflict if she's able to.
History: One wouldn't think that Kanoko would be into Gunpla, but Gundam itself as a whole is one of her greatest interests. Being the daughter of an engineer, she was introduced to Gundam by her father through the Universal Century, where he took his own inspiration in order to become an engineer. In her early years she didn't build Gunpla, but was infatuated with the storyline, gobbling down every book, anime or movie she could possibly get her hands on about the Universal Century, until the series came to a head with: Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt. It was gritty, it was raw, the storyline was enthralling and the mobile suits themselves were detailed to a standard she had never seen before. The redesigns enraptured the weight training fitness girl more than anything else she had found, and the newest designs such as the Atlas or the Gundam Head GMs were fascinating to observe through the pages. Thus began her journey into Gunpla, using the energy and enthusiasm she put towards her athleticism into building gunpla and eventually submitting herself in tournaments.

The biggest difference is the return of the monoeye, in a blazing emerald with the head modded accordingly. Small things have been added, such as metal verniers and accents, but aside from that and meticulous cleanup, it seems relatively normal.
