Ringing the changes on the support device concept: "Daisy", Ruiko Saten's device
Appearance and personality: When in standby mode, looks exactly like the flower ornament that Ruiko wears in canon. When in active mode, a 20-meter-tall humaniform mecha (complete with a faux samauri helmet on the head) in white with emerald green trim, with a beam saber carried at the waist.
Magical Esper support capability: A Lambda Driver (go on, tell Washuu-chan that she can't reverse-engineer and debug the one in Sosuke's mecha), keyed to Ruiko's brainwaves.
Main defensive spell ability: Did I already mention the Lambda Driver? Also, it's a giant mecha.
Flight capability: Giant mecha can't fly... at least, not until a surplus X-Wing engine and Starfleet sensors and life-support are installed, at which point interstellar flight becomes possible.
Other Support: GENOM fusion-boomer tech - heavily debugged and nerfed by Washuu-chan to prevent any Grey Goo disasters like the one in BGC OAV #1 - for field repairs; Starfleet phaser strips for point defense; one passenger seat.
Obvious hole in the programming: No forcefield, "shield" spell, or equivalent. (No room in the chassis for the generator. Then again, it has a frickin' Lambda Driver.)
Introduction in the story: That's a tricky one to answer. The base mecha frame appears in the 2016 Christmas Party. After Mérida Island shows up in the Metacontinuity and Washuu-chan can help MITHRIL's engineer Nora Lemming debug the Lambda Driver, the AI "Daisy" and the Lambda Driver are added. (Wraith noticed the flower in Ruiko's hair while observing the Ottawa displacees, and mentioned it in the report about them to MITHRIL - misidentifying it as a daisy. Thus, Nora Lemming used "Daisy" as the codename for the AI based on Sosuke's Arbalest's "Al".) Shamal, Mariel, and Washuu-chan install Barrier Jacket and Belkan Device tech to make Daisy summonable and give her a psi-link to Ruiko - which, beause of Ruiko's background, becomes Daisy's only esper ability. Once Starfleet gives Ami the Rideau, the runabout's life-support and phaser technologies get copied over to Daisy. Jedi tech provides the hyperdrive and beamsaber. GENOM tech provides the self-repair ability. So... Base frame at Christmas 2016, but the mecha as described above won't be completed until the end of Arc 2 at the earliest.
