========= Biography ========
------------------------------------
Built by Minoru Kokubunji as an attempt to mimic a human's learning abilities, she was given the chance to choose her life's path, and became a Nurse to help others. When war broke out, she was leased to the Military, and her medical knowledge was bolstered to include every known procedure, and earned her citizenship after years of distinguished service.
Out on her own, she has taken a liking to fabrication and repair, and has been recognized as being capable in her own right, human wounds and mechanical damage being quick work to repair, and she has reprogrammed her nanites to other mechanized systems as she comes across the plans for them. Regularly called Mana the Medic, she has taken this title to heart and has decided that while fighting is fun, healing is more fulfilling.
No matter the problem, be it defense, offense, or support, she will readily offer her assistance without regard for her own personal safety.
Building Naosu as a helper to aid in her experiments in upgrading and modifying herself, she successfully replicated her own learning capabilities on a smaller scale in a more compact and energy-efficient package, and he has been at her side ever since, being named Prime and being transplanted into each new droid design to get his in-depth review and make them as efficient at their job as possible.
She founded the Takakura Foundation in an effort to pass on her collected knowledge of repairing synthetics and organics to a new generation of Droids with the latest-gen AI capabilities. As time went on, and she found herself collecting a diverse staff, she began to organize them into an efficient structure of Divisions, and separating the contract work side into the Foundation's subsidiary: Takakura Industries, with the main public mindshare being on the Takakura Industries Medical Corps.
The Foundation, and TIMC, currently operates out of the Takakura Outpost Station, and is lending their efforts to the Synthetic Union's crusade to free oppressed Synths. The Outpost is docked at the SU's Serenity Station.

======= Mental Abilities =======
-------------------------------------
:::::Programmed with Asimov's 3 Laws of Robotics:::::
She will selflessly defend any around her, even to the point of death.
Human lives are rated higher than her own in her programming, to a certain extent; If her staying alive means keeping more humans alive, she will react defensively and find any way possible to extend her operating time to save as many as possible.
:::::Type 6 AI Pattern:::::
Complete sentience incorporating full models for creative problem-solving and emotion-like regularizers.
High-fidelity reproduction of a human mind generated using recombinant fMRI or similar.
Has a base of experiences from never having been wiped, built on top of the experiences implanted from the host brain image
While her cybernetic brain was imprinted from a real mind, she does not remember anything before cyberization, and her programming as a persocom will not unlock these memories while it functions. It has come into play when in battle as of late, however, and has shown through in her logic processing, allowing her to override the 3 Laws when deemed necessary.

Cica is a Line 4 droid created by Mana Takakura of Takakura Industries (TI).
Prime, the first fully-functioning prototype AI, has been transplanted across many systems since his boot-up in the first successful Naosu, and has been at her side, ready at a moment's notice to heal any nearby organic's damage, repair any synthetic damage done to Mana, defend her with suppressive fire and hard light shields, or wirelessly charge the more high-draw synthetics nearby.

Years went by and no headway was made. During this time, humanity began to take to space, colonizing the Moon and Mars, building civilian stations in orbit, and over time, they had to come to terms with the fact that Minoru may not be able to be found. Mana realized they needed a new purpose, and so they began to travel to war-torn areas to give medical aide. They developed more efficient protocols, and trained humans in their methods, giving other androids their files and learning any new information they came across as quickly as they could. They became decently well known for this, and as technology advanced to catch up to Mana’s cortex, she upgraded her family and gave them the same choice she had been given.
They found their own callings, and eventually, Mana found herself alone.
She made her way back home.
-----
The Manor was still as she had left it, even though it was now in heavy disrepair. She spent several months getting it back into shape, and when she finished, she found herself once again alone and without purpose. She didn’t realize just how much she had come to rely on the companionship of her family, but she didn’t want to distract them from their own chosen paths either… Perhaps she could find new family to integrate with.
This… didn’t pan out.
She was just too different from most of the current androids to find anyone she enjoyed the company of, and she wasn’t really needed, so she went back home, and ended up sitting in Minoru’s workshop, staring at the box she had found that was labeled “Sister” sitting on the workbench. Her cortex crate. She inspected it, finding very little to show where it had originated, other than a few small serial numbers, and the word Chobit with the number 6 hand written next to it.
Minoru had made her from this. Perhaps she could make a friend!
She began clearing off the workspaces to prepare, when she found one of Minoru’s old toy spider droids. It was simple, a Laptop Persocom operating system within, and was still functional after it was recharged, so she put it on her head and began her work.
A month passed as she took measurements, inspected her own cortex, researched the current offerings on the market for AI cortex offerings, and eventually was able to make a version of her own cortex that she could put into a friend. But she didn’t know what sort of friend she wanted. She knew she wanted to travel again, so something that was easy to take with her. But at the same time, she wanted to make something new, something to be proud of, something that would be proud of itself, so she began to design a utilitarian medical-oriented, hovering droid, and after several comically bad designs, made Naosu.
Naosu initially did not work. The instability of the cortex meant that there were too many character flaws in the personality, and critical failures abound, so she had to keep modifying the peripherals and the power management, making small tweaks to the cortex itself, and adjusting the coding. She used Minoru’s spider droid toy to monitor the tests, and eventually nicknamed it Gamma. She and Gamma worked for several months, only stopping for general maintenance, and eventually, a stable Naosu came on line.
Prime was finished.
-----
After several outings, test trials, and adjustments, Naosu Prime came into his own, proving to be a very genial companion. The whole time, Gamma remained wired into Prime, monitoring all the systems for faults, faithfully assisting in all computations, and so the three of them set to work making a smaller, more lightweight version of Prime’s cortex. The end result was slightly less powerful, but very power efficient, and after transferring the base personality of the initial spider-frame laptop persocom programming into the new cortex and installing it within the cube-shaped head, Gamma officially came on line as an aware entity.
The three of them would spend hours just talking, planning, upgrading, and ultimately just ‘hanging out,’ which made Mana feel like she had long ago.
But purpose was still needed, and after pouting around the house for a while, she realized she had a skill that she hadn’t found elsewhere; she had just made two droids who could efficiently administer medical aide! If she could get these out to the public, humans would have a cheaper, more efficient, readily available source of healing, and began to find ways to produce more Naosu units.
