Description: A professional sniper who aims only for the most vital parts of her enemy's anatomy, she has earned a respectable assassination record for her accurate work.

She has wild medium length reddish brown hair, and she is mostly seen in a tight dark greyish jumpsuit with boots. She is a sharpshooter in and out of her AC, using any gun with great precision. She is 1/2 Asian and 1/2 European, has dark slanted eyes and olive skin.
Backstory, the encounter:
A little over one year ago Kasumi was out on a sniping mission. Her target was a government official who would be boarding his transport after exiting a meeting that night. Just as she had her sights set on her target as he exited the building, the rooftop she had her AC perched on was suddenly blown to pieces, sending her falling downward, and alerting the target enabling him to make a quick escape. She landed on the ground below hard, and as she checked her radar she noticed that she was surrounded by three enemy units. She then looked up and saw them, a grey heavyweight AC stood there in front of her, energy machine gun in hand, and at his sides were a lightweight AC and a tank with grenades, undoubtly the one who caused her to fall. She tried to stand, but could only bring her AC to one knee because of the leg damage she took in the fall. The pilot of the grey AC came across on her radio "Hah, you're not going to be picking off anyone anytime soon sniper girl." Fox narrowed her eyes and thought to herself.. "Damn, those must be ACs hired to protect the target..." she then responded. "Well well, what gentlemen, picking on a lady." The heavyweight pilot raised his gun, aiming toward her "This is the end of the line for you, there's no way out now." She managed to get her AC to it's feet, barely holding it steadily she began to stumble backward. Looking around for a way out she could see no way out of this sticky situation. Was this the end?
The pilot of the tank AC then came across on the radio, "Boss... there's something here... There's something else in the... what the hell!?!" The grey AC responded "What are you talking about? I don't see anything."..."Boss I just saw it, I saw something moving fast over there."... The grey AC then replied, "Dammit... you'd better be right. You, go check it out." His AC's hand gestured to the lightweight AC. "Now back to our little lady friend here..."
The lightweight orange AC prowled the complex area, searching between the various buildings finding nothing. He then came across a large empty warehouse type building which he entered. After looking around and finding nothing he turned and there stood a crimson AC, staring him down as if death had cast it's gaze down upon him. "Wha- what! what the hell, who are you?!?" Without a warning the red AC quickly lunged forward and grabbed the lightweight AC's head with his right hand, sparks started to fly as the red AC began to squeeze the orange AC's face. The lightweight pilot was unable to respond, in shock he started screaming as his AC's head was being crushed and sparks of energy started to shoot in every direction. Suddenly the red AC let go of it's head, the orange AC stumbled back. Just as the orange AC regained it's balance the shadow of the red AC overcame it. In an instant the AC bore it's shining blue blade into the core of the orange AC, then ripped it's blade up through the shoulder of the small AC. Sliced in two, the orange AC fell to the ground, the red AC jumped back, turned around and boosted away and out of the entrance of the warehouse as smoke and shrapnel flew past him.
Back at the original scene Fox narrowed her eyes and in a desperate attempt activated her boosters and flew up quickly. The grey AC boosted forward toward her and rammed her hard, sending her light AC flying into a building. The grey AC landed in from of her fallen AC, Fox struggled to raise her head, blood began to drip from her mouth because of the impact and her head being thrown around violently by the sheer force of the large AC. "Hahaha you've gotta be kidding me, that was pathetic. Stupid woman, you will die on this battlefield." The pilot of the tank AC began to advance forward towards the two. Fox somehow scrambled to her feet again, "I can't die like this..." She desperately activated overboost and boosted along the ground to her right. The grey AC lifted his energy machinegun and blasted her ACs legs, sending Fox stumbling along the ground, sparks flying also damaging her boosters as she slid along the ground at such a high speed. She lie there, barely awake, wondering if this was the end for her. The grey AC began walking toward her mangled AC, the tank closely following him. They arrived and stood over her out of commission AC "Heh boss, do ya think we should finish her now?"... "Heh, you think we tortured her enough? Hahaha okay we've had enough fun with this one." The tank's grenade launcher came into place, aimed at her as she lie there motionless, the heavyweight then backed away a few steps. She opened up her eyes slowly, her monitor was somewhat malfuncioning but she could still see enough to tell what was about to happen, yet suddenly in the corner of her eye she saw a red blur...
In a flash of blue light the tank's grenade launcher's barrel fell to the ground. A red AC stood there with his blade activated up at his side behind him, the blue beam receded back into it's source and the red AC stood up facing the tank letting it's left arm fall at it's side. "Who the Hell!?!" the grey AC responded. Suddenly a low voice came across on their radios, "You outnumber and attack a female, where is your honor?" The tank pilot responded "Damn you, you'll pay for that!"... "Hmph... really?" The crimson AC tossed the orange AC's head at the feet of the grey AC. The AC pilot said "You... you destroyed him..."... "I'm gonna kill you you bastard!" The red AC pilot then responded in an harsh voice "No. you die now! HIYAAAA!!!" The red AC lunged forward at the tank as the grey AC jumped backward. The tank AC hit overboost and quickly dashed to the right evading the red AC's blade slash. The tank then activated his chain gun, shooting it at the red AC. The crimson AC dodged the shots then dissappeared suddenly, "What? where'd he go?" In midair at the side of the tank the AC appeared, the AC overboosted sideways, leaving a swarm of missiles spread across the air, all bombarding the confused tank. After the smoke cleared, the tank AC set there, smoke emitting from it's core "Dammit... I can't move...[the tank pilot's sensor came online again and he sees above him a thin figure] NO!!" The red AC came down hard and stabbed his blade into the AC's head, then deeper into it's core , sending it into a violent explosion..
The grey AC's pilot, after watching all of this was a bit stunned, and began to look for a way out. "How.. how could he have done that?!?" The grey AC activated it's Overboost and started to fly along the ground in the opposite direction. The crimson AC leaped into the air as purple energy gathered in his opened back compartment. With a blast of energy the red AC flew after the enemy. It quickly overtook the enemy and circled around, stopping in midair in front of the grey AC, he raised his arm and the plasma rifle's barrel folded outward quickly. In one blast of bright energy the grey AC's core was ravaged, a wide hole through it with smoke spewing outward could be seen as it's wreckage exploded then fell to the ground.
"Enemies destroyed." said the pilot of the crimson AC as he stood there for a few seconds staring at the wreckage of the enemy. After standing there motionless for a moment he turned toward the sniper's AC, he approached it as it began to sit up slowly and move. "Come in, are you okay?" Fox responded "I, I'm... fine, but who are you?"... The crimson AC's pilot replied "My name doesn't matter, and I helped you for my own reasons... I must leave, you will be alright won't you?"... Fox then said in a low weak tone "I'll... be okay, but wait!" He had already turned and began to walk away. Fox was dissappointed that she had to rely on another for help, she felt weak for not being able to stand alone. She opened her cockpit and stood outside of it, watching the red AC as it walked away into the night. Her body was tired and she could barely keep her eyes open. As she wiped the blood from her mouth she turned and saw her pickup ship approaching.
The Crimson AC dissappeared into the dark horizon as Fox's airlift approached from the south. On the way back to base as she lie there after being treated, the thought lingered in her head, "Who was he?"
