Overview: Aiko’s a very nice, happy girl. She does have the potential to be very devious, though. Despite her nice exterior, she is not above using her body or other underhanded techniques to get information or access to places. She’s not afraid to get into a scrap. Hell, she wears a potentially lethal weapon as a belt. She also gets REALLY into her work; she can’t focus on much of anything else when pursuing a story, save in case of emergency, and she will beat the hell out of anyone who gets in her way and refuses to budge.
Despite this, she’s a very nice person. She hates it when people are jealous of her for her body, but she’s not willing to give up her greatest reporting asset, so she’ll try to equalize; if someone is jealous of her, she’ll try to find something in them for her to be jealous of.
She’s incredibly protective of her city, and she doesn’t like the crime presence. And thus Drosselmeyer was born, defending her city from the shadows by taking out those who would harm it further.

Hero Stuff
Name: Kamen Rider Griton
Type Of Hero: Kamen Rider
Henshin Device: Sengoku Driver and the Acorn Lockseed
Henshin Sequence: She puts the Driver on and clicks the Acorn Lockseed open. It announces, “DONGURI!” and a circular zipper portal opens above her head, a huge acorn floating down. She announces, “Henshin!” and puts the Lockseed on the Driver, closing it on. The Driver announces “LOCK ON!” and she moves the knife so it “cuts” the Lockseed open, causing the acorn to drop onto her head and create her Pre-Arms form. It announces “Acorn Arms! Never Give Up!”, then it unfolds down and forms her Acorn Arms.
Forms:

• Form Name: Acorn Arms
  Image/ Description: Here
  Motif: Acorn, Viking
  Color Scheme: Brown, Silver, Black
  Transformation: See above
  Fighting Style: She uses a very power-oriented style, focusing on strong blows with the Donkachi, since she can handle attacks
  Weapons: The Donkachi, a one-handed hammer. She also has a Musou Sabre.
  Abilities: She has minor electrical abilities, allowing her to use her hands like a Taser of sorts and shock people and objects through contact. She can also throw the Donkachi, using a magnetic effect to call it back to her hand.
  Finisher(s): Spin Striker- She triggers the knife, and the belt announces “ACORN SQUASH!” She holds the Donkachi out, and begins spinning wildly, bouncing around the immediate area before smashing into her opponent and destroying them.
• Form Name: Chestnut Arms
  Image/ Description: Her forearms are rather bulky, heavily armored with attachments like a fourth of a chestnut shell on either arm, and plating on her knuckles. Her upper arms are unarmored for the most part, and her chest has a moderate chest plate. Her upper legs are unarmored, her lower legs having armored pieces similar to her arms.
  Motif: Chestnut, Boxer, Shield
  Color Scheme: Brown, Silver, Orange
  Transformation: As above, but with the Chestnut Lockseed and it announces, “Chestnut Arms! Round 1, Start!”
  Fighting Style: She boxes, light on her feet and heavy to hit.
  Weapons: The chestnut shells on her arms can combine to form a shield, but her main weapons are her armored fists, in addition to the Musou Sabre.
  Abilities: The shield can block almost any attack, and she can deliver incredibly powerful punches, the armor actually adding force to her blows.
  Finisher(s): Nut Cracker- She triggers the knife, and the belt announces “CHESTNUT SQUASH!” She winds back, spins her hand a few times, and slams a single punch into her target, sending them flying and breaking any armor they might have.
• Form Name: Double Coconut Arms
  Image/ Description: Her Pre-Arms form, but she now has a grass skirt over her legs, a chestplate that is best described as “little more than a coconut bra” and coconuts as shoulder plates.
  Motif: Coconut, Tropical
  Color Scheme: Brown, Silver, Green, Orange
  Transformation: As above, but a big double coconut falls onto her head and it announces “Double Coconut Arms! Prepare for a tropical storm!”
  Fighting Style: She prefers to avoid using the Girls, only using them at incredibly close range when she has no other options. She relies on her unarmored fighting style.
  Weapons: The Girls, a pair of high-caliber, high rate-of-fire machine guns contained within the coconut bra on her chest, and the Musou Sabre
  Abilities: Beyond the Girls, she’s also capable of reflecting weak attacks using the grass skirt.
  Finisher(s): Luau Demolish-She triggers the knife, and it announces “DOUBLE COCONUT SQUASH!” She then unleashes a high-powered, prolonged barrage of fire from the Girls.
• Form Name: Horned Arms
  Image/ Description: Very similar to this but a slightly darker green and the armor has a whole buncha spikes on it, including two rather prominent ones on her chest, right where you’d expect them to be.
  Motif: Horned melon, Armor
  Color Scheme: Green, White, Brown, Silver
  Transformation: As above, but with the Horned Lockseed, and it announces, “Horned Arms! Let’s get prickly!”
  Fighting Style: She uses a power style much like her normal form
  Weapons: The Horned Defender, a shield much like the Melon Defender but with a bladed edge and some spikes sticking out of the front. The various spikes on her armor are also viable weapons, as well as the Musou Sabre.
  Abilities: The spikes on her armor are quite sharp, and are quite viable weapons for her to use.
  Finisher(s): Horned Bash- She triggers the knife, triggering the announcement, and slams the Defender into her opponent, and several energy spikes appear and stab them, eventually resulting in around 60 stabs.
• Form Name: Silkworm Arms
  Image/ Description: She has an somewhat-armored version of one of those Chinese dresses on her body. Her right shoulder has a grey orb, about 3 inches in diameter, mounted on it, and her right arm is wrapped in what looks like spider silk from the elbow to the bases of her fingers. Her left is arm is relatively unarmored, and her legs are unarmored besides the dress.
  Motif: Silkworm, Chinese, thorn
  Color Scheme: Grey, Red, Gold, Orange, Brown, Silver
  Transformation: As above, but with the Silkworm Lockseed. It announces “Silkworm Arms! Don’t Get Caught!”
  Fighting Style: She dodges attacks, trying to ensnare her opponent mostly
  Weapons: The Thorn, a cone-shaped dagger-like weapon, and the Musou Sabre.
  Abilities: She can administer either knock-out or lethal poison from the Thorn, and her right arm is capable of producing and firing a sticky silk-like substance, useful in mostly the same way Spiderman would use his.
  Finisher(s): Cocoon Drill- She triggers the knife, the announcement happens, and she holds the Thorn above her head, leaping into the air and latching a string of silk onto her target. She begins to spin, cocooning herself in silk as she travels toward her target before drilling through them. This can penetrate almost any armor, but has the rather unfortunate side-effect of rendering Aiko immobile until the silk dissolves.
• Form Name: Monster Arms
  Image/ Description: Her Pre-Arms form is now a light grey mostly instead of brown, and her armor resembles this (minus the tail).
  Motif: Monster, Armor
  Color Scheme: Grey, White, Red
  Transformation: See above, but with the Monster Lockseed. It announces, “Monster Arms! Time for rampage!”
  Fighting Style: Pure, utter brutality. She tears her opponent to shreds.
  Weapons: She has hyper-sharp claws on the tips of her fingers.
  Abilities: She’s amazingly strong, and her claws can cut through almost anything you can think of. But she doesn’t have much control of herself. The Seed somewhat takes over, turning her into a crazed rampager. This form can only last about 5 minutes before Aiko’s body is too tired to carry on, and someone has to undo her transformation.
  Finisher(s): She has a finisher, but she’s never in the state of mind to properly activate it. She usually just tears her target into tiny pieces.
  

Other Equipment:

• Her belt is actually a surujin, which she uses for self-defensive purposes
  
• Her notebook and camera, which she keeps in her messenger bag
  
• 
  

Aiko was very young when Yggdrasil moved into Zawame. Her mother, one of the foremost investigative reporters in the city, was instantly curious about some of the things that happened behind the scenes at Yggdrasil and began looking into it. Watching her mother slave over it made Aiko want to be like her mother, but her father was having none of it. He’d rather obviously wanted a son, a male heir to pass on his family martial art to. So, as opposed to actually having one, he made one. He trained Aiko in her ancestral family style, Aiko learning rather quickly due to her young age.
Things further complicated when Aiko bloomed a bit early, getting a rather large pair of sweater puppies. Her father made her bind them down, but as she grew, so did they. Her father eventually realized the futility of it and stopped making her do it. Aiko learned just as quickly, taking up writing for the school newspaper as her extracurricular. She worked long and hard, graduating high school third in her class by a hairsbreadth and going on to university, where she got a job with the Zawame local newspaper. She graduated with an English degree and went to work full-time for them, becoming a investigative reporter just like her mother.
She used both her body and her combat skill to use, becoming a legend in the newsmedia community of Zawame in no time at all. Her ability to obtain information rivaled some of the most legendary hackers of the time, but she didn’t use a computer. As she was walking home one day, she saw a toy shop being robbed. She walked in after the robbers had left and helped the old man clean his store up. While there, she saw a statue he had in the back room of the Herr Drosselmeyer, from the fairy tale of the Nutcracker. She swore its one eye glowed red when she looked. It inspired her to try and keep this kind of injustice from happening, so she trolled the thrift shops and became Drosselmeyer.
She began using the costume on a regular basis to fight crime, recently beginning to investigate the Lockseeds and the men who deal in them. She began using her clout as a reporter to learn more as well. Within the last few months, she’s decided to write a novel, a fantasy tale. She’s been working on it on and off since.
