Character: Human! Otachi 
Canon/canon point: Pacific Rim - post death

Personality:

Otachi is cunning, violent and stubborn. She keeps fighting no matter how hurt she gets during a fight. The pain only fuels her rage and her tolerance to damage is noticeable. That might a common trait among 4- 5 category kaijus. She moves like a hunter and she likes to take people off guard. In battle she doesn't bother with teasing, she's efficient and quick, and pretty ruthless. Now she’s more wary about jaegers and sharp blades, thanks to her first and last encounter with Gypsy danger.

‘If you want to stop them you need to understand them’, Newton said. Otachi is more inclined to follow Raleigh way of action: ‘or we could just blow’em to pieces’. Seeing as how her opportunities to do that in game will be suddenly crippled she’s going to try a different approach. Learning about them is it the only way to know where to hurt them most and that’s what she will do. She will never forget her reason to exist, however. It’s a constant that defines her whole being like Newton’s existence is also imprinted on her mind.

Part of her wants to find the human and know, understand, how was Newton able to connect to them and invade their collective subconscious. Another strong part of her just wants to rip him open with the claws she no longer has.

As human, that connection to the hivemind had faded but it’s still there. It’s like a chorus of voices, thoughts, in the back of her mind. Humanity is nothing more than vermin, a nuisance and a treat to be eliminated. But to do that fist she has to be patient.

- Body changes and how she will cope with them in game.

To start with the most obvious one, she’s no longer a giant alien beast but a small human. She’s going to have trouble adapting to the simpler things at first, like walking on two legs. Otachi is one of the few kaiju that can fly and she walks on all fours rather than in a straight position due to her original short legs and wing arms. The change won’t sit well with her until she realizes that she can run faster than before.

She’s going to feel like a stranger in her new body and want to claw off her own skin. Her jaw and mouth feel too small, her eyesight is limited, her limbs are too long, she can’t breathe underwater and her body is weaker and far too easy to crush. The phantom limb feeling she’s going to get due to her tail and wings missing won’t help her bad mood. Balance issues all around.

Her acid sac was already ripped off by Gypsy danger before her death but she’s going to miss being able to end unpleasant meetings spitting acid at people’s face. Instead, she’s going to have to learn how to communicate with proper language rather than growls and thoughts. Otachi acquired English through the Drift and hivemind but talking still feels odd to her. Around other kaijus she will be able to use the faint connection between them to understand each other but when it comes to interacting with humans all gets more complicated.
