This shift involved a change in not only her physical characteristics but a complete change in mentality and skill. She pilots the Emblem Frame "Spell Caster". She is the counterpart to Ranpha Franboise, while her Emblem Frame is similar to Mint's. Despite differences of physical, mental and skill characteristics, Kahlua and Tequila are both the same person.

History[]
Early Life (若いころ)[]
Young Kahlua and her mentor Caraway
Kahlua was born on an unknown planet but spent most of her years growing up in Magiic. She competed in a formal tournament to join the "Twelve", the twelve most accomplished mages on the planet. Kahlua won the tournament and joined the Twelve.
In her youth, Kahlua was freely able to utilize her magical talents. She was thinking about how magic could be scary to those who don't know what it is and how she can deal with it. She came up with an idea to separate herself with her personality, requesting Caraway for help and the personality known as Tequila was born. At some point after this, Kahlua gained her familiar and named him Mimolette.
Joining the Rune Angel Wing (ルーンエンジェル隊に参加)[]
After the events of Eternal Lovers with Wein surviving, a Chrono Gate has appeared and was found near Juno and ABSOLUTE was accessed by the Angel Wing and the Elsior. With the technological assets still preserved and with Milfie discovered having the uncanny ability to be able to operate the Master Core, the age of discovery has repeated itself as the Transbaal Empire sought to find other civilizations in the outlying Chrono Gates that led to other dimensions.
Kahlua was chosen to be one of the members of the Rune Angel Wing after the Emblem Frame that was secured from Magiic, Spell Caster, was found to be most compatible with her. She underwent training with her fellow new members, Apricot, Lily, and Nano by the guidance of Forte Stollen and was enlisted to the Neo Luxiole.
Meeting Anise (アニスとの出会い)[]
Kahlua, who is switched to Tequila, was scouting with the others to search for enemies when they see the Relic Raider. Rico opens communication with the Relic Raider, revealing the pilot to be Anise Azeat. Anise demands a race challenge to Rico to see if she can get fast enough. Rico accepts the challenge and the two race each other when Tequila gives them the start sign. The race comes to a halt when the Relic Raider gets hit by small asteroids. Nano uses Repair Wave at Rico's request to fix what damages the asteroids have caused to the Relic Raider. She is brought to the Neo Luxiole as a guest, Anise was suggested by Rico and Kahlua that she work as part of the Rune Angel Wing to pay off her debt, since she was in possession of an Emblem Frame, as well as having the skill to effectively pilot it. As such, she was enlisted as a new member of the Rune Angel Troupe. Kahlua asks her why she wanted a race challenge with Rico, Anise explains that she heard of Rico being the younger sister of the former Moon Angel Troupe member Milfeulle Sakuraba and that she had to escape from the enemy because she didn't want her Relic Raider to be taken. the duo share the information with Coco who calls the bridge to find the enemy that targets Anise. When they found out where the enemy was, Rico deploys first and the team quickly repels the enemy fleet.
Soon afterwards, Anise apologizes to Rico for demanding a race challenge out of the blue, Rico is a bit embarassed and asks her not to apologize much to Kahlua's amusement.
Rescuing a Princess (王女の救出)[]
Tequila was working with her potions when she is called to the briefing room with Rico, Nano, Lily, Anise, Ray and Asuca where Coco informs her that they received a distress signal from an Emblem Frame, the Papillon Chaser and tasks her to go to distress signal's location. The Rune Angel Wing deploy to find the Papillon Chaser that sent out the distress signal. They discover the Emblem Frame that had some scratches and minor damages but its engines were still alright. The pilot opens communication with Rico, revealing to be Natsume Izayoi, the princess of the Izayoi family, much to Rico's surprise. Natsume explains she sent out the distress signal because she was caught off guard due to a surprise attack by the enemy fleet. Tequila alerts Rico that the enemy fleet responsible for the surprise attack has been seen. The Rune Angel Wing, along with Natsume, destroy the enemy fleet and Natsume's damaged Emblem Frame was brought into the Neo Luxiole's Hangar while she herself was taken in by the Neo Luxiole. Natsume is given a tour around the ship by Rico to get herself familiar with. Tequila is introduced with the Rune Angel Wing to Natsume by Rico in the Piroti. Kahlua, along with Lily, Anise, Nano, even Ray and Asuca steathliy follow the duo until Rico found out in the park.
The Shuttle explosion (シャトルの爆発)[]
Rico and Kahlua are assigned by Tact to take a shuttle back to Seldar to pick up Forte. Kahlua switches to Tequila because she has a bad feeling something bad might happen. Rico and Tequila are on the way to Seldar, but a large-scale battle that previously took place near the planet has coated the area with debris. Conditions get worse as the debris hit the shuttle and Tequila reports that the engines have been damaged enough that it will soon overload, Rico decides to put the Autopilot on to get the explosion as far away as possible and the duo evacuate the ship with the shuttle on the verge of detonation. As the two move away to a safe distance, Rico quickly realizes that the resulting explosion will send the debris outward towards them and positions herself between Tequila and the explosion. Tequila wonders what Rico is doing but quickly realizes what she is planning and tries to stop her. As Rico feared, the shuttle's explosion sends the debris flying and she is able to shield Tequila from harm. A number of shards puncture through her suit and Rico starts coughing blood and her consciousness starts to dim. Tequila seals the suit puncture but Rico remains in critical condition. Rico tells Tequila that she didn't want Kahlua to be hurt and the others to be sad before she passes out.
Rico regains consciousness much later and finds herself in the Infirmary where Mordent welcomes her back and explains that Rico and Tequila's assignment was completed by someone else and calls Kahlua down as he prepares to excuse himself. Kahlua arrives in the Infirmary and adresses gratitude as she completely shielded her from harm. Kahlua asks if there is anything at all she can do for her as a thank you, and continues to insist despite Rico's assurances that she's fine. Finally, Rico half-jokingly asks her to lie down with her and to her surprise, she shyly agrees. While lying side-by-side, Kahlua asks Rico if she still feels pain somewhere. Rico answers that she isn't feeling any pain thanks to her superhuman durability. Kahlua shyly admits that she heard everything she said before passing out, much to Rico's embarassment. She then tells her the full detail of her past and how Tequila's personality was born (Similiar to the canon, except that Kahlua didn't lose her magical talent from a traumatizing incident and that she came up with the idea to separate herself with her personality with the help of Caraway). Rico was touched by her story and confessed that she had learned some details of her past before but not the full version of it, surprising Kahlua, who asks her if she remembered what she said before passing out. Rico admits it was embarassing to say something like that because Kahlua and Tequila are both the same person and confesses that she likes them both. Kahlua, touched by this, switches to Tequila and kisses her on the forehead in return. The two share a snuggle before Nano and Natsume burst in to check on Rico, causing the two to leap apart in embarassment.
Full potential (最大の可能性)[]
Kahlua was in the Tea Lounge when she is called for the meeting because an enemy fleet of a wanted criminal named Dippy Rocker, who causes petty deeds and evaded arrest, was found. The Rune Angel Wing deploy to fight off the enemy fleet and catch Dippy. Dippy tries to shoot at Rico, but screws up because the aiming system malfunctioned and ends up hitting the Spell Caster instead. He realized he really screwed up as Rico gets really mad before her Cross Caliber sprouts angelic wings from the side of the hull that physically show the vessel's full potential being unlocked and goes on a rampage. Lily, Anise, Nano, Natsume, Ray, Asuca, and even Tequila, who was a bit embarassed hearing what Rico said to Dippy, were dumbstruck to see Rico being really angry and her vessel's wings as they saw her rampage. Dippy, seeing Rico really angered because he hit Tequila instead, was so scared that he crapped his pants in fear before fainting. He gets arrested and is taken away.
Back on the Neo Luxiole, as the Emblem Frames are retrieved, Tequila is approached by a exhausted Rico and Mimolette notes the battle must have been exhausting for her. Rico collapses from exhaustion after expressing her relief, altering the two and the others. As Tequila enters the Infirmary, Mordent quietly excuses himself from the room. Tequila tells her that Dippy has been finally arrested thanks to her. Rico remembers her rampage, feeling ashamed, and apologizes to Tequila for losing her composure. Tequila dismisses it and tells her she did the right thing and teasefully explains that Rico scared Lily, Anise, Nano, Natsume, Ray and Asuca with her rampage and she heard her words to Dippy, which embarasses Rico, who retorted that she was worried about her. They wonder what they will hear as they are called to the Bridge. As the Rune Angel Wing arrive there, they see Tact, Coco and a dark skinned man. Coco introduces the man to them as Tapio Ca, the Subcommander, much to Rico and Kahlua's confusion about why. Coco explains that Tact will not be returning to command because he is now Chief of the newly formed United Parallel Worlds, much to the duo's shock. Rico asks who will be his successor now that he is no longer commanding the Neo Luxiole, Tact assures them and explains that Coco has been chosen as the commander to take over his place with Tapio as second-in-command. He clears his voice and announces that Coco is officially promoted to Colonel and Tapio second-in-command underneath Coco's leadership. Tact lays his hand on Rico to say goodbye but as soon as he does that, she screams and throws him over her shoulder, much to the amusement of others, even Kahlua as they know that Rico has androphobia. Coco promptly explains to Tapio that Rico has a pathological reflex towards males and as he just witnessed, she will throw any male who so as much makes physical contact with her.
A fatal injury (致命傷)[]
Midway through the journey to a Chrono Gate, Coco deploys the Angel Wing to clear out the scouting forces in their proximity. At the battle's end, Nano and Rico discover one more enemy signature and request that they check it out. The two discover a derelict enemy ship and prepared to head back, only for one of its turrets to come back online and fire at the Emblem Frames, but Rico shoots down the enemy ship down before it could hit the First Aider. Before the explosion reached the turret, it fires a few last small shots and one of them hits the Cross Caliber and pierces through its hull. The shot hits Rico in the right elbow, severing her right arm and grazing the right side of her stomach, which Tequila witnesses it through Mimolette. On the Neo Luxiole, Naoru Ogyouji reports the damage and Coco quickly rushes to the Hangar as the Emblem Frames are retrieved. She reaches the Cross Caliber first and orders for the cockpit to be opened, and is shocked at Rico's current state and the rest of the team have the same reactions as they realized what happened to Rico when Tequila mentioned her severed arm. While Coco contacts Mordent, Tequila slips by her with Nano and enters the Cross Caliber and seals the Emblem Frame shut behind her, much to the clamor of voices outside. Tequila inspects Rico's condition as something clearly beyond what normal healing can accomplish and uses her magic with Nano's nanomachines to restore Rico's fatal injury with ease thanks to her unbelieveable mana pool. The Cross Caliber's cockpit opens and shows Rico's arm restored with a smiling Tequila and Nano giving an ok sign. By that, Rico later wakes up in the Infirmary where Mordent, Lily and Kahlua explain that Tequila used her magic and Nano her nanomachines to heal Rico's fatal injury out of concern for her condition.
The Anniversary (記念日)[]
Tequila along with the rest of the Neo Luxiole's crew attended the 5th anniversary of Eden's liberation from the Val-Fasq on Juno. After the ceremony, she, along with Natsume and Rico catch the perpetrator that wanted to ruin the anniversary.
Relaxing in Hokkori (ほっこりでリラックス)[]
Rico and Kahlua get notified they are going to the resort of Hokkori to have fun. In Hokkori after arriving, Rico gets dragged to go shopping with Tequila, but was so embarrassed to think they might go to a lingerie shop that she was close to fainting from embarrassment, but Tequila tells her that they are going to shop for swimsuits much to her relief. Tequila meets up with the Rune Angel Wing in the swimsuit shop to choose their swinsuits. The girls enjoy themselves on the resort's beach and are engaging in a variety of activities on Hokkori. Unfortunately, the fun is ruined when they see reports that Rippy, the twin of Dippy, causes petty trouble around Hokkori, which upsets Rico as she remembers the incident with Dippy. Not wanting Rippy to cause more troubles, the Rune Angel Wing decide to hatch a plan with the locals to catch him. Just as he arrives to steal something, he gets busted by Rico and the others.
A certain spell (ある呪文)[]
Kahlua is sitting with Lily, Anise, Nano, Natsume, Ray and Asuca while discussing about they could do. To their surprise, Rico arrives here to explain that the ship will go for a resupply and suggests that going to a restaurant might be a good idea. The five were about to reply, but their stomach growled, making it clear that they are hungry much to their embarassment. Rico explains that there is a curry restaurant in Magiic where Ranpha, the ambassador of EDEN, works here. Coco notifies the Rune Angel Wing that the Neo-Luxiole will set its course for Magiic for a resupply. Once the ship arrived here, Coco issued for resupply while she gave the Angel Wing a small break and allowed them to make planet-fall. The Rune Angel Wing go to a nearby curry restaurant that had recently opened. They immediately hear some commotion going from a customer who complains about his food. Anise decides to stop the man from making too much noise and she pickpockets him to see that he was trying to get a free meal as his wallet was completely empty. The man tries to retaliate and Anise prepares herself before someone else kicks the swindler away. The team, recognize the individual as Ranpha Franboise, the ambassador Rico had mentioned. Anise takes an immediate liking to Ranpha for her display of physical ability. Ranpha however takes more interest in Kahlua, who Ranpha has heard of. The restaurant chef thanks the team for dealing with the rabblerouser and offer them some complimentary food and the team head to their seats.
Food is served with Rico having the spicy curry and Mimolette expresses interest in Ranpha's bright red curry but Rico tells him its very spicy and warns him not to taste it. Anise expresses her concern if she can eat it without being affected by the extreme spice. To the team's shock and Ranpha's surprise, Rico seems to be unaffected by the spice of her curry and seems to enjoy it, realizing she has spice resistance like Anise, to which Ranpha teases her for. Ranpha asks why the team visited and they explain that they were given some free time while the Neo Luxiole is getting resupplied. Ranpha returns to her casual-style and is surprised to learn that someone like Kahlua has joined the Angel Wing and Rico asks if it is that much of a big deal. Ranpha explains that Kahlua is a top ranked A-class mage alongside 11 other similarly ranked mages in all of NEUE to make group known as "The Twelve". Ranpha recounts Kahlua's victory in the duel to decide who would take the seat among the 12 a few years ago, much to the team's surprise. The conversation comes to a halt when a fire breaks out in the kitchen. The team heads toward the kitchen to find the rabblerouser from before setting the kitchen on fire with some magic stones and running off. After putting the fire out with a fire extinguisher and magic, Tequila, Rico and Mimolette leave the burnt building and are met by the rest of the team. The team wonder who supplied the swindler from before with some magic stones.
Appearance[]
In both of her main personalities Kahlua has light purple eyes, with her outfit consisting of a long mantle, light green gloves that reach past her elbows, a green strapless dress, and thigh high boots with a slight heel to them. The main differences between them, though, are a jacket-like piece in the white/black/gold color scheme of the military that is closed on Kahlua and open on Tequila, and hairstyle differences; Kahlua's hair is straight and blonde, while Tequila's is more wavy and purple. It is because of Tequila's larger bust size that the jacket being open reveals the true nature of the dress, as Kahlua, whose bust is smaller than Tequila's, wears the jacket closed (often causing anyone unfamiliar with it to think it's a skirt, with a different top under the jacket).
Personality[]
As Kahlua[]
Being the "original" identity of the duo, Kahlua is the most active of the two personalities and is the "person" that interacts with others the most. Being the only mage on the ship, Kahlua is known for her renowned skill in magic thanks to her education and her position as one of the 12 most skilled mages in the NEUE universe. As such, her knowledge and advice is sought after in situations that involved the usage of magic. As Tequila puts it, Kahlua is good at "using her mind" while Tequila herself is better at "using her body".
Being the oldest and mature member of the team, Kahlua's big sister personality is reflected by her extremely calm and doting nature she has on her teammates. She's caring and generous but is notable for her "slow" demeanor. Unlike in the canon, Kahlua remembers what happened when Tequila is the active personality while when Kahlua is active, Tequila is fully conscious of her surroundings. Kahlua doesn't seem to fazed with this and is perfectly fine with moving at her own pace. Even when the two are fully united, Kahlua still has the ditzier composure. Mimolette usually fills in the gaps of what happened and he makes sure that his master isn't too lost.
As Tequila[]
Replacing Kahlua's calm and gentle attitude, Tequila is proactive, assertive, and is impatient compared to her alter-ego. Able to experience from both ego's memories, Tequila knows her other half better than anyone and views her almost like a little sister and deeply cares for her well-being, often putting Kahlua before her own needs. In turn, Kahlua respects and admires her for her prowess in using magic to pilot their Emblem Frame and her confidence.
With extra awareness, Tequila was more responsible for her actions and for reasons later revealed in later in the canon series, is extremely capable of using magic. Tequila also understood that she was "secondary" in comparison to Kahlua and willingly allowed herself to be inactive to keep Kahlua happy. When others were concerned, Tequila acted like an even bigger "big sister" character to the team as she was understandably more knowing of how to take the initiative of the situation. While Kahlua spoke in a very relaxed manner, Tequila was more informal and livelier in speech, accompanying her sentences with gratuitous English. Tequila's comedic elements came from her promiscuity in teasing Rico sometimes.
