[*]Through her research within the Synthetics Club Mato has gained a strong basis of knowledge on the workings of Life Fibers and things constructed from them[/*]
[*]Before losing her arms Mato practiced sewing as something to do during her many stays in the hospital. Gaining he prosthetic arms after entering the academy and her study of life fibers has allowed her to further this skill. [/*]

[*]Prototype ”Nano-Fiber” Injector:[/*]A prototype device installed into her uniform which injects nanoscale Life Fibers into her bloodstream. Provides increased stamina and endurance coupled with minor regenerative capabilities(Small/Shallow cuts, sprained joints, minor blunt force wounds etc) in its current state. 
[*]Life Fiber Synthesize:[/*]Mato's uniform generates synthetic Life Fibers upping her uniforms combat potential to around 2.5 stars. Her uniform forms a half star on its back to reflect this until the effect wears off. 
[*]Life Fiber Alloy Prosthesis:[/*]Prosthetic arms composed of an alloy consisting of Life Fibers and metals. Due to incorporating Life Fibers they are considered part of her uniform. The prosthesis are hard enough to deflect most conventional weapons with only minor knocks and scratches and allow Mato to strike with at least twice the force of an average person. 
[*]Auxiliary Prosthesis:[/*]A second set of prosthetic arms with a similar composition to that of her main prosthesis. These limbs lean more towards natural metals than life fibers making them not quite as durable as her main set. The auxiliary prosthesis is an independent unit which can have its position changed depending on the situation. Mato most often keeps them positioned at her waist in out of combat situations for utility purposes or upon her shoulders, towards her back during combat situations.

[u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] Not especially smart or gifted, Mato is a person left to accomplish her goals purely through dedication and stubborn determination. While she is generally friendly she is not one to be above stepping on another toes if it means furthering her own goals. Being forced to face her own mortality she is someone who lives almost purely in the present. Her days before the academy were lost due to illness, the future remains uncertain and so she focuses on doing the best for herself in the here and now. 

Dealing with people she is fairly open minded and is not one to hold grudges in most situations. Because of this she tends to treat most people the same with little mind for formalities or rank. She tends to be energetic and rather casual with others, all of this leading to Mato holding a rather loose structure of power within her Synthetics Club. Ideas from any member are valid and should be considered regardless of rank, outright rejecting ideas based on formalities is the death of productive research in her mind. Still she is not one to allow herself to be walked over, her position within the club was earned and she will demand proper respect when need be. 

[u][b]History:[/b][/u] Mato was an otherwise normal girl who was dealt the unfortunate card of being born with a degenerative disease which would plague her throughout her life. As such she would become well accustomed to frequent hospital visits, examinations and a plethora of medicines over the years in effort to slow the spread of her condition. Despite such efforts the disease would soon take a toll on the girls body with the weakening of muscles and organs, leading to the eventual amputation of her arms due to infection and severe tissue breakdown within the limbs. 

This would be the way she would have to live most of her days, up until a turning point three years ago at the age of 14. She would once again have a series of now routine tests as she readied to enter high which would end up delivering a result which was far from routine. Several weeks after the tests she would be scouted by the Kiriyuin Academy due to her tests over the years showing data which corresponded to a steadily rising compatibility with Life Fibers. With a life on a timer due to her condition and no better options Mato would place an application and soon be excepted, quickly entering the academy. 

Though she would enter as a simple no star student with nothing but a decent affinity for Life Fibers she would become motivated and determined to climb the ranks after discovering a certain club. The Synthetics Club, based around studying the Life Fibers and creating various technologies related to them. Seeing this research it would spark her interest in their activities, seeing a possibility of the research bringing some degree of comfort to her life. Her first year would be spent attempting to get close to members of the club in order to gain favor and enter herself. After some time she would volunteer to act as a tester for prosthesis and devices they could otherwise not test themselves. This offer would be what would gain her entrance to Synthetics and her raise in rank to a one star student. 

With a place in the Synthetics Club she would now be able to study the Life Fibers herself. Already seeing the benefits of Life Fibers due to her newly acquired one star uniform which would make her frail and weak body achieve some semblance of normalcy, and the prosthetic arms, primitive as they were, restoring some of her lost freedom she would begin to do just that. And so her second year began began as a lowly tester for the Synthetics Club but with no small amount of hard work and determination Mato would prove herself to the higher ranking members. With her interest and determination for the research proven Mato would begin working more closely with those in the prosthesis project which in turn gave her knowledge of the process of hardening and manipulating Life Fibers.

Armed with this growing knowledge Mato would begin a project of her own when nearing the end of her second year. This project which would take up much of her time not already being used for the prosthesis projects would be towards the use of life fibers directly on the body without the need to be worn. A long process with many failures and missteps would eventually result in the creation of what she would simply call Nano-Fibers. Life Fibers divided and divided and divided until they are able to be injected directly into the bloodstream. With this Mato discovered that in this state one with proper affinity could use Life Fibers to provide an additional boost of power and was promoted to the captain of the Synthetics Club, gaining a two star rank. Though only a proto-type with the limitation of these nano-fibers gradually dissolving in the bloodstream it has proved in invaluable asset to Mato allowing it to significantly strengthen her body despite the risks due to its nature as a proto-type. Mato has yet to test the nano-fibers on anyone other than herself and the methods being used to apply them are still being researched. Because of this the research is currently only known to the Synthetics club and the academies student console. 

Lastly, from the research on Life Fibers which spawned the nano-fibers came several splinter projects, the most notable being a breakthrough in the creation of synthetic Life-Fibers for which the club was originally founded. Though less effective and less durable they are currently used to provide additional strength boosts. 

[u][b]Other:[/b][/u]Since becoming captain Mato has requested elevation to a three star student in order to further speed up her research and projects. She cares little about actually gaining a position on the student console but would accept the responsibilities for the sake of her projects. So far she has heard nothing back.
