Kanon Daiba (19)

Joined Fenrir Far East Branch in 2070.

''A Gods Eater with the 2nd Unit. Although she is highly compatible with the bias factor, she is often guilty of friendly fire during drills.''

Kanon Daiba: 2 (19)

Joined Fenrir Far East Branch in 2070.

''A Gods Eater in the 2nd Unit. She has the highest misfire-rate in all of Fenrir.''

Because of this, many Gods Eaters refuse to go on mission with her, but a certain group has found an attraction to her fighting style and selects her as their teammate, which gives her a high sortie rate.

Joined the Fenrir Far East Branch in 2070.

Born: February 28, Height: 165 cm

''Although blessed with an extremely high Bias Factor compatibility, her tendency for friendly fire and her complete failure to improve on this remains a serious issue. Although trained as a combat medic, her huge cannon can deliver a powerful punch.''

Original
Kanon is reckless, brash and dislikes being ordered by her team members. She also impatient as pointed out in one of her speech lines.

Burst
Kanon is well-known for her split personality. She is normally kind, friendly, and slightly clumsy but turns into a sadist during battle and shoots her Radial/Mortar Bomb bullets regardless if she hits an ally or not. She has been known to admit that some of her instances of friendly fire were on purpose.

She has the highest misfire rate of the entire Fenrir as a result; she pushes herself to accept missions on her own to train herself.

Kanon is also good at baking, as she mentions that she baked cookies to thank Soma for saving her (despite the latter telling her to go off and train).

Trivia

 * It's possible to play as the generic Kanon from God Eater via Character Creation.
 * Contrary to rumors, Kanon does not possess the "God of Rare Drops" skill.
 * Her original Japanese name is spelled "Canon". This was probably changed to prevent association with the camera company of the same name.
 * Kanon uses a similar blast cannon from her Burst one. She also has her own unique God Arc in God Eater 2 that is similar to her Burst counterpart. This change was made perhaps to indicate that "no one is a minor character" idea stated by the Project GE Team.
 * True to her personality, Kanon in-game will fire at the Aragami even if there is an ally character in her way or vicinity.
 * Not many people are aware of the origin of her name; the name Kanon was chosen when American writer and self described weaboo Peter Goudanis first saw the art for the character and remarked "She's too beautiful for this story, there's no way she's canon!", and after a hearty and sensual laugh the group decided it fit perfectly. Note that Peter Goudanis ended up marrying Kanon (pillow) and have been together since 2013.
 * In God Eater 2, a certain one of her Character Episodes must be completed before she can use Oracle Reserve.
 * Kanon's Oracle Reserve was sealed through the request of Haruomi
 * Before her Character Episode is completed, she shoots a small mortar bullet. When it's completed, she'll shoot a cluster bomb bullet.
 * Emil also mentions that Kanon is good at playing billiards.
