Aisha Clanclan (エイシャ・クランクラン)



The Girl

Aisha is an 18 year old Ctarl-Ctarl officer. She can be rather absent-minded at times, acting on rash impulse and not really caring about anyone other than herself and tends to act like a child. She is a dark-skinned catgirl with a considerable ego and greater than human strength. She is also far more durable than any human. She also claims to have the best ears in the universe. While it is unknown if they are the best, she is shown to be able to hear small noises that no one else on the crew can. She claims to be immortal, but it is unknown whether or not this is based in fact or is merely Aisha's immense ego and racial pride. Even if it is true, it is more likely a reference to how difficult Ctarl-Ctarls are to kill than to an increased life-span. As with all Ctarl-Ctarl, Aisha has access to an ability "Beast Strength" where she taps into the primeval powers of her racial ancestors. This allows her to increase her strength and possibly her speed and durability, but is extremely energy draining. Aisha burns a lot of calories by using this ability and is always depicted as eating massive quantities of food afterwards.


Her Story

Aisha belongs to one of the noble houses of the Ctarl-Ctarl Empire. She won her place in space when she was promoted to the rank of Ambassador Plenipotentiary and given command of the starship, Orta Honehone. Aisha was originally in charge of locating the Galactic Leyline for the Ctarl-Ctarl Empire, but after she unknowingly allowed for Hot Ice Hilda to escape, her government demoted her and ordered her to stay behind on Blue Heaven to look for clues as punishment. Aisha finds out that Gene Starwind (main character) is connected to Hilda and tries to pump him for information. However, Gene knows nothing of the Galactic Leyline, and eludes her by stunning her with a Caster and leaving her to pay the considerable restaurant bill she racked up. Later on, Aisha was able to trick Gene into letting her on board the Outlaw Star during the Space Race, where she finds out that the MacDougall Brothers have more information on Hilda than they do. Aisha then decides to join the crew, since they are the ones who were indirectly responsible for her demotion in the first place. Eventually she does start to have more positive relationships with the crew and especially Jim (crew boy and Gene's friend). She starts to concern herself with Jims well-being and acts like an older sister to him.
