ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
Background
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Minami Kotobuki is a princess of the Kotobuki family (寿家 Kotobuki-ke) and the current heir of her family's business: Kotobuki Zaibatsu (寿財閥). However, because she was raised in a high life society, people are always expected to do something for them in return. Even, her parents want her to follow the high and near unbearable standards of a noble. They've hardly shown any honest affection to her just like any other parents would. Because of expectations from her 'peers' and surroundings, Minami was stressed out and desperately seeks her freedom.

Until one day, Minami was just minding her own business before she got sent to the alternate world of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and forced to work with the White Clothes to attained their goals in exchange for her freedom, even though she must stain her hands in blood.

As time passes, she encountered with Yuuki Kusanagi (草薙悠来 Kusanagi Yūki) of Shoku (蜀 Shu), who wants to ease her burdens and persuaded her to join him, much to her surprise. Ever since then, Minami always thinking of him and his offer to join him before she was pressured by DJ Sagara to accept Yuuki's offer and she ultimately decided to join with Shoku and prepares herself by playing her part as the 'perfect princess'.

After successfully betrayed the White Clothes and joins with Shoku, Minami decides to repay her gratitude by fighting at Yuuki's side and put an end to the White Clothes.

Power and Abilities
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

・Bowmanship: Like Haruna Sakurada/Kamen Rider Ryugen, Minami is also an expert marksman, but excels at the archery. She was able to fire multiple arrows at once, firing arrows in rapid succession to hitting multiple targets with great accuracy, and hit small targets from extreme distances.

・Enhanced Reflexes: As an archer, her eyesight has surpassed beyond the human limit.

Arms
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Like the other Sengoku Riders and Genesis Riders, Kamen Rider Marika's forms are called Arms (アームズ Āmuzu). Her Genesis Driver announces "Soda" (ソーダ Sōda) before every transformation.

By pushing the Genesis Driver's Seaboll Compressor into the Energy Lockseed after transforming from one to two times, Marika can activate one of two finishing moves based on her current Arms form:

　・Squash (スカッシュ Sukasshu)
　・Sparking (スパーキング Supākingu)

In addition to the Genesis Driver's finishing moves, Marika can perform a Sonic Volley (ソニックボレー Sonikku Borē) finishing attack by inserting an Energy Lockseed into the Energy Drive Bay of her Sonic Arrow.

・Genetic Ride Wear

The Genetic Ride Wear (ジェネティック Jenetikku Raido Uea) is Marika's default form undersuit, which is briefly seen during Marika's transformation sequence before the Armor Part attaches. However, this form is completely vulnerable to any incoming attacks when shot at directly in the suit rather than at the Arms that is descending down on the Rider.

・Peach Energy Arms

Rider Statistics

・Height: 198 cm (6 ft. 5 in.)
・Weight: 93 kg (205.03 lb.)

Ability Perimeters

・Punching Power: 14.3 t.
・Kicking Power: 18.2 t.
・Maximum Jump Height: 24 m.
・Maximum Running Speed: 100 m. per 6.1 sec.

Peach Energy Arms (ピーチエナジーアームズ Pīchi Enajī Āmuzu) is Marika's default peach-based form. Accessed through the Peach Energy Lockseed, this form bears the Momoc Headpiece (モモックヘッドピース Momokku Heddopīsu, lit. "Pink Headpiece") helmet with the Steering Eye (ステアリングアイ Sutearingu Ai) visor.

While assuming Peach Energy Arms, Marika dons the Peach Energy Armor Part (ピーチエナジーアーマーパート Pīchi Enajī Āmā Pāto) and her primary Arms Weapon is the Sonic Arrow.

Compared to the other Genesis Riders, Marika has the weakest punches and kicks, though Minami compensates for her weakest punches and kicks with her own fighting prowess. She does have an advantage over them in terms of jumping height and running speed, making her the swiftest of all the Genesis Riders.

Kamen Rider Marika can perform her following finishers:

　・Unnamed Rider Slash: Marika activates the Squash function on her Genesis Driver and fuels all the energy from the Peach Energy Lockseed into her body, which is then converted into her Sonic Arrow before she slashes the target.

　・Sonice Volley (ソニックボレー Sonikku Borē): Marika locks the Peach Energy Lockseed into the Sonic Arrow and fires a powerful arrow shot that when it hits a target traps them in a peach-shaped sphere before they are assaulted by multiple arrows being fired in a row.

Genesis Driver

Genesis Driver (Lockseed-In)

Genesis Driver w/Folding Band

The Genesis Driver (ゲネシスドライバー Geneshisu Doraibā) is the transformation belt for the Genesis Riders. It utilizes powerful artificial Lockseeds known as Energy Lockseeds (エナジーロックシード Enajī Rokkushīdo). Unlike the Sengoku Drivers, the Genesis Drivers didn't have DNA Restriction features and the Genetic Ride Wear undersuits are programmed within the Energy Lockseeds rather than onto the Driver itself.

Like the Sengoku Driver, the Genesis Driver is usually only in its buckle form. If the user wants to use the belt, all they have to do is place it on their waist and the Folding Band (フォルディングバンド Forudingu Bando) will automatically wrap around their body, fastening the belt.

To transform, the user opens the lock on the Energy Lockseed, which causes a dimensional opening into the Helheim Forest to materialize above them and an Armor Part that corresponds to the Energy Lockseed used to appear from it. Afterwards, the user attaches the Energy Lockseed onto the belt's Drive Bay (ドライブベイ Doraibu Bei) and closes the lock to secure it into the Lock On Arm (ロックオンアーム Rokku On Āmu). Finally, the user pushes the Seaboll Compressor (シーボルコンプレッサー Shīboru Konpuressā) juicer in, which extracts the juice from the Energy Lockseed itself through the Vascular Duct (バスキュラーダクト Basukyurā Dakuto) and into the glass-like Concentrate Pod (コンセントレイトポッド Konsentraatio Poddo) at the bottom, causing the Armor Part to fall on top of the user's head and the Driver to announce the Arms granted, along with its corresponding music (or in the Lemon Energy and Matsubokkuri Energy Lockseed's case, its corresponding phrase).

When the Seaboll Compressor is pushed in between one and two times, a Rider can activate a certain ability.

　・Once: The Squash (スカッシュ Sukasshu) function can either power up a Rider's Sonic Arrow for a or trigger an alternate finishing attack.

　・Twice: The Sparking (スパーキング Supākingu) function can either enhance a Rider's finishing attack to its full potential, allowing the user to initiate a when infused with the fruit-shaped/nut-shaped energy of their Arms, or temporarily convert the user's Armor Part into its original fruit/nut form to spin and use as a shield.

・Lockseeds

The Lockseeds (ロックシード Rokkushīdo) are mysterious devices that are the source of the Sengoku Riders' powers. They all have powers associated with fruits, seeds, berries, and nuts. Lockseeds were originally fruits that grow on trees in the Helheim Forest.

The Inves love Lockseeds and Helheim's fruits, regarding them as their favorite food. However, if an Inves consumes a Lockseed, it assumes its Advanced State, and if it consumes yet another Lockseed, then that Inves will evolve into its Strengthened Form.

When a person wearing a Sengoku Driver/Genesis Driver picks a Helheim fruit, they will quickly convert into Lockseeds.

If a Sengoku Rider summons an Inves in a battle, then they will be fully materialized in the real world, however, if a Genesis Rider summons an Inves, one Lockseed can call in three at a time. If one manages to jailbreak a Lockseed, they can summon fully materialized Inves as well without being an Sengoku Rider, although there is a chance for the Lockseed to malfunction.

Lockseeds are given ranks, from D to A, but it is unknown if either the number of the Lockseed, the chance of rarity of such a Lockseed being found, or a combination of the two makes the Lockseed's ranking.

A-Class Lockseeds are normally unbreakable (though they can be devoured by an Inves or destroyed by powerful attacks). Given their powerful nature, they are useful for both transformation as an Armored Rider or to summon a high-class Inves. One drawback is that the summoned Inves is in its Advanced State, and if said Inves consumes a Lockseed that summoned it or an entirely different Lockseed, it will evolve into a second form of itself called a Strengthened State (強化体 Kyōka-tai).

Beyond the normal variety of Lockseeds, there exists another brand of Lockseed in the form of Lock Vehicle Lockseeds (ロックビークルロックシード Rokku Bīkuru Rokkushīdo). They are indicated by their rougher design and their theme being based on flowers. Once unlocked, the Lock Vehicles will unfold from their Lockseed Modes into their Vehicle Modes and have the capacity to breach into the Helheim Forest by forming a crack (either at a certain speed or with a beam). Due to these Lockseeds being made mainly as a mode of transportation, Lock Vehicle Lockseeds do not have a Lockseed ranking.

A certain organization has managed to created fully functional artificial and more powerful Lockseeds Energy Lockseeds (エナジーロックシード Enajī Rokkushīdo) that sacrifices the ability to summon a normal Arms Weapons when used in a Driver, instead of summoning a Sonic Arrow (with the exception of Kamen Rider Kurokage Shin). These particular Lockseeds can only be used by a New Generation Rider with a Genesis Driver, though there is a roundabout way Sengoku Driver-wearing Sengoku Riders can use Energy Lockseeds. In terms of rankings, Energy Lockseeds are given the general rank of Class S, outranking even the more powerful nature-converted Lockseeds (except skilled users of the Suika Lockseed). Like A-Classed Lockseeds, they are normally unbreakable.

The Genesis Bow Sonic Arrow (創世弓ソニックアロー Sōseikyū Sonikku Arō), more commonly referred to as the Sonic Arrow, is a bladed bow-like side weapon used primarily by any Kamen Rider who transforms using a fruit-based Class-S Energy Lockseed. Non fruit-based Class-S Energy Lockseeds provide an Arms Weapon instead.

The bow is a modernized bow with blades on the front of the bow, allowing its users to use it as a melee weapon. It features a laser point tracer to aid the user in landing important shots. Depending on the Energy Lockseed the user is equipped with, the Sonic Arrow can serve different purposes, serving a wide range of utility.
