Rakshata Chawla

Voiced by: Masayo Kurata (Japanese), Laura Bailey (English)

Rakshata Chawla (ラクシャータ・チャウラー, Rakushāta Chaurā?) is an Indian scientist who secretly backed the Kyoto Group before becoming the head of the Black Knights' research and development team. She has extensive experience in medical cybernetics, and though she is not fond of speaking of the past, Rakshata is known to have studied at the Imperial Colchester Institute. She is fairly laid back in most situations, usually seen laying on a couch when not actively working, and is never seen without her tobacco pipe. She is visibly enraged, a contrast to her normal demeanor, upon learning that Lloyd and Cécile modified the Guren without her consent. Upon the formation of the UFN and the reorganization of the Black Knights as its military force, Rakshata is designated as the Chief of Science, similar to her previous position within the Black Knights. She reacts to the Black Knights' betrayal of Zero with apathy, more concerned with the aftermath. She is captured and imprisoned along with the rest of the Black Knights after the fall of Schniezel. Rakshata is the creator of the Guren Mk-II and its radiant wave surger (輻射波動, fukushahadō?, lit. radiation surge) weapon. She also developed the Gefjun Disturber (ゲフィオンディスターバー, Gefion Disutābā?), a force field generator that disables all sakuradite-powered technology within its area of effect. Rakshata also creates the Shinkirō for Zero in season two.
