This woman is none other than Miss A2—the third-generation general-purpose combat robot created by Loren using nanotechnology.
A2 shares 2B's silver hair, but whereas 2B's is short, A2's flows long and elegant.
Beyond hair length, their attire is also strikingly different. 2B wears a gothic-style dress paired with black lace stockings, exuding a dark yet alluring aura.
In contrast, A2 dons a black leather backless tank top and long black gloves, radiating both elegance and sensuality. She pairs this with an extremely short set of black leather hot pants and—below them—black lace stockings that accentuate her long, straight legs. Completing the look are black high-heeled boots, giving her an air that is both cool and undeniably sexy.
A2's demeanor also sets her apart from 2B.
2B appears gentle, but her personality is icy toward outsiders. She reveals her tenderness only in front of Loren; in public, she is a ruthless and decisive assassin.
A2, on the other hand, carries the presence of a top-tier mature woman—sharp-eyed, coldly beautiful, with a small black mole at the lower left corner of her lip that adds a subtle touch of allure.
Yet those familiar with A2 know she is only cold on the surface; beneath it lies a deeply gentle soul. In the game, she devoted herself selflessly to others, offering unwavering care and protection to her companions even amid endless battles and sacrifice.
In short, A2 is in no way inferior to Tifa or 2B in terms of figure or appearance. The three are equally stunning—each simply embodies a different style.
Tifa is the gentle, considerate, and obedient girl next door.
2B is a slightly yandere neighbor with hidden intensity.
A2 is the charming, mature woman who is cool on the outside but warm within.
Though their styles differ, all three share one profound trait: unwavering loyalty and deep, abiding love for Lorent—so deeply ingrained it resides in the very core of their being.
When A2 appeared, Loren, 2B, and Tifa couldn't help but turn their attention to her.
Immediately, a flicker of crisis crossed 2B's eyes—because even she had to admit the woman before her was breathtakingly beautiful.
This stunning, sensual, and magnetic woman was not only her boss's favorite… but also his equal in kind: another general-purpose combat robot.
And beings of the same type often measure themselves against one another—a natural rivalry born of similarity, not difference. This "like repels like" dynamic only intensified 2B's sense of challenge.
As a fellow combat android, A2 couldn't miss the faint jealousy and tension in 2B's gaze.
Yet she showed no hostility. Instead, she offered a gentle smile.
"You must be 2B and Tifa—the ones who came before me, right?"
She extended a hand in greeting. "Hello. I'm YoRHa Type A No. 2, a general-purpose combat robot. You can call me A2."
"From now on, I'll be your most loyal companion—and the sister you can confide in about anything. I hope you'll take good care of me!"
With that, A2 stepped forward, her smile warm and open, her gesture one of sincere friendship.
Upon hearing this, Tifa immediately stood up eagerly, smiled, and shook hands with A2.
"Sister A2, we've been looking forward to your arrival for so long!" she said happily.
"The boss mentioned you to us a month ago, describing you as an angel—which made us very curious. Before I met you, I didn't really believe it! But now that we've met, I realize what the boss said was absolutely true. A2, you're so beautiful—and so striking!"
Tifa beamed, radiating warmth and offering plenty of emotional support.
Hearing such effusive praise, A2 covered her mouth and chuckled softly—almost like a human woman—her expression both charming and alluring.
However, 2B, standing nearby, gave a nonchalant snort and muttered under her breath, "I think she's nothing special. Her figure and face aren't much better than mine."
"Hehe, of course, Sister 2B—you're a stunning beauty!" Tifa replied instantly. "In this world, it's already hard enough to find someone who can rival your beauty, let alone surpass it!"
As a management-class android, Tifa subconsciously worked to harmonize interpersonal dynamics—a core part of her programming.
Hearing Tifa's flattery, 2B's expression softened slightly.
She sighed with a helpless laugh. "Damn it, Tifa—you're too good at sweet-talking people. Can't you just let someone pretend to be angry for a little while?"
"2B, it's best not to do that," Tifa laughed gently. "Pretending to be angry can hurt the bond between sisters!"
"I know! You're so annoying!" 2B grumbled, but she slowly rose to her feet and extended her hand toward A2. "Welcome to our big family. From now on, we'll be like sisters."
A2's smile grew even gentler as she reached out to accept the handshake.
"Thank you. I look forward to working with you."
"No need to wait," 2B said, already turning her gaze toward Loren. "I can start your orientation right now."
Loren hadn't expected A2's sudden appearance.
He'd assumed her testing would continue into the evening, so he'd planned to wait alone until she was fully activated.
But the process had finished ahead of schedule—and now he found himself in an awkward spot.
The moment A2 appeared, he felt a flush of embarrassment.
Yet A2 approached him with a warm, knowing smile.
