- Those that break certain civilized rules of fighting or conducting their business. (tl;dr dishonor)

- Fast, agile and flexible...partially learned, partially trained.
- Perceptive, a differing trait from her half-brother.

- Andrea Tachibana - High school friend and secret crush, but the other left for Spain and hasn't been seen again..
Overview: Has a confident, serious personality that won't let herself be pushed around by anyone, but once one gets to know her, she relaxes a bit and shows a kinder side.. Having been broken of her naivete after receiving the gear, she's more of a realist, and some of the light in her heart is gone.. Having the wealth and position, along with being involved in this war, makes her a bit jaded. Natsumi is also very technical minded, but pursues that in private at her half-brother's mansion, which is where she lives at present.
Hero Stuff
Name: Kamen Rider ZangetsuType Of Hero: Kamen Rider
Henshin Device: Sengoku Driver, Melon Lockseed
Henshin Sequence: Activation of the Lockseed is done with "Melon." An artificial Crack opens and a melon comes down. A Warring era theme tune plays from the Driver before she cuts the lockseed open. "Soiya! Melon Arms!" The Melon comes down and unfolds, to the proclamation of: "By Heaven's Decree."
Forms:
- Form Name: Zangetsu
Image/ Description: Here
Motif: Melon, Samurai, Protector.
Color Scheme: Green, white and gold.
Transformation: See Above
Fighting Style: Fast, quick, accurate and highly lethal.
Weapons: Musou Saber, The Melon Defender.
Abilities: Higher stats. She can swing her Defender and send a greenish-black energy shockwave out or focus it into an edge for close range slashing. If she hits the knife three times, her armor folds up and acts as a shield. Hit it twice, and the shield glows, either absorbing a ranged energy attack or developing it from her own reserve, before expelling it back in a shield sized high-power beam. Without the knife-play, she can toss her shield which glows mid-flight, like a boomerang, to hit someone. Because of her different build, she is faster than her half-brother, and can flash-step more freely.
Finisher(s): #1: 1-10000 Melon Charge: Placing the Melon Lockseed in the Musou Saber and locking it on for a slash, or pulling back the lever for a shooting strike.
Melon Squash (One slash of the driver): Her Rider Kick, or, a stronger version of her shield shockwave attack in a melon pattern, or, a spinning tornado style attack in which the finishing energy serves as both offense and defense, followed up by a few slashes from the Saber.
Melon Au Lait (Two slashes): She throws her shield and then runs and jumps up, coming down with a Rider Kick into the shield after it has made contact with the enemy, pushing the shield through them.
Melon Sparkling (Three Slashes): Her Musou Saber charges with energy and she slashes the enemy while an afterimage of a melon appears behind them, almost like a moon. She basically slashes the moon in half.
Shield Bash: strong enough to defeat some mooks and put other riders on their backs.
Acceleration slashes: Or she could just beat the crap out of them with regular slashes. - Form Name: Zangetsu Shin
Image/ Description: This
Motif: Offense, Powerhouse, Archer
Color Scheme: Green, White, black and orange shoulder pauldron
Transformation: She belt swaps mid-fight and uses the Melon Energy Lockseed, summoning the fruit of the same name from an artificial crack. She Locks On the seed, and then presses the lever to create Soda. Then the fruit above spins around and down, locking on to her body and deploying the Melon Energy Arms with a musical jingle.
Fighting Style: Power, Quick and Brutal slashes with the Sonic Arrow, accurate bow shots
Weapons: Sonic Arrow, modified Musou Saber.
Abilities: Increased Power, Agility and Speed, maintains an evolved ability of Flash-step, though she doesn't use it often. The loss of the shield lowers her defense, but her suit's endurance quality makes up for it.
Finisher(s):
Melon Energy Volley - The Lock On with the Sonic Arrow.
Melon Energy Charge - The Lock On used with the modified Saber.
Melon Energy Squash - The blades of the Arrow ignite in green for a melee slash.
Melon Energy Au Lait - The side-lever is pushed twice to upgrade her performance in battle for a sudden burst of endurance power for a few-second duration, momentarily almost doubling her armor and resilience. Alternatively, it could be used as finisher to initiate a Rider Punch. The Au-Lait function is the equivalent of Jinba Melon's special ability, which is best used in moderation.
Melon Energy Sparkling - Thrice pushed, the side-lever sets up her Rider Kick.
- SakuraHurricane LockVehicle. Open up the lockseed, it becomes a bike.
History
Natsumi grew up in Zawame, and her family life was less than ideal. Upon entry into the Kureshima family, she stayed in daycares for a while until the age of 7, regularly going to and from there back to her home.
Her mind was advanced already, and was maturing faster than normal. This meant that she was gifted, and attended the same school that her half-brothers had gone to. In essence, she took after her father in a lot of ways, not having much else of an example to go on, but as she became a teenager some of her own touch began to shine through.
Around this time, there was a bit of upheaval in the family. And she was sent away to a high school in Nagoya, with the regular commute from there to Zawame. This was coupled with a lot of physical training and hard work with the family business. She was informed about other riders, monsters, and the multi-colored people. Given her sometimes disagreement with the family, she took up dancing as a means of defiance, of finding herself there and being free..
It was during this time that she met Andrea. They hit it off right away, having a similar taste in dancing and music, and a similar problem with families. They never exchanged last names...which was unheard of, but spoke to their unique friendship. They became fast friends and their coordination was top-notch. Somewhere along the way, Natsumi developed feelings for her, but never got to tell her, because Andrea had to return to Spain. It felt like a part of her had died, after that, and she threw herself into her studies with reckless abandon, along with her training.
When she turned 18, she graduated high school, and was brought into Yggdrasil to work. The company sponsored a 4 year college tenure for her at a prestigious university, and, having nothing else to live for, she ran right in to that. Becoming familiar with her co-workers left her with more questions than answers, and at least two that didn't like her. Even Minato was cold...and the younger had some suspicions of her loyalty.
But she kept her mouth shut, and finished her university at the age of 22, free of debt, and coming into quite a few assets and riches as a result of the family. Upon return to Yggdrasil, she's issued a Sengoku Driver and Melon Lockseed by her half-brother, and she takes up the mantle of being a Rider. Though here is where their disagreements began. He wanted the Riders to show the power and prestige of the Kureshima name. She wanted to use her power in a more heroine like fashion. The stress, the occasional fight with Seto or Takanashi..the occasional romp with the latter that was supposed to let off steam but only dispersed it..it stayed above her head. Like a sword hanging by a thread...
