Profile
Age: 16 (at first appearance)
Weapon: Shuriken
Voice Actor (JP): Asumi Nakata
Voice Actor (ENG): Carrie Savage
She holds the record for being the youngest person to join the Turks. Shinra discovered her potential when she was a child in the Orphanage, and trained her specifically to become a Turk. Although she is the youngest in the group, she is a caring person who refuses to abandon those in need. While on patrol in Sector 8, she meets Zack and is drawn to him by his humanity.
A Girl with a Complicated Background
Cissnei, unlike Reno and Rude, participates in the Turks’ auxiliary force. Even among the Turks, few people know about this unit, and only those with special training are affiliated with it. Cissnei, in particular, was educated as a gifted student so she could dedicate her entire life to the Turks, and was taught “everyone except myself is an enemy”. But through her contact with her teammates and Zack, she is learning to appreciate the value of human relationships.
↑ As she spends more time with Zack, she gradually begins to tell him about her upbringing, how she was raised by Shinra and received special training.
“When I was a kid, I always wanted to have wings.”
――Sector 8: Looking at the wing of a Genesis Copy
“I’ll give you ten minutes. After that, I return to the Turks.”
――Gongaga: Passing up the chance to ambush Zack
→ Her remark about desiring wings of freedom suggest the difficulties she faced in her childhood.
← At Costa del Sol, she showed off her swimsuit. Being sporty is her thing.
→ Does she help Zack because she is his friend or because of her feelings as a woman?

An Elite Warrior Who Joins at the End of the Story
Out of the eleven main characters (Player Turks) in BC, Cissnei is the one designated as “Shuriken (F)”. However, her role in the main story of BC begins at the end of the story, in late October [ν]-εγλ 0006. Until then, she had been secretly operating as part of the auxiliary unit that consisted of a handful of elites within the Turks. In April [ν]-εγλ 0001, when she first appeared in CC, she was not well known by the general Turks, making her a unique individual.
↑ The conversation with a fugitive Zack on the beach of the Nibel Plain in Chapter 19 of BC is also recreated in CC.
