Appearance
Edit
Added by GegegeAt the beginning of the series Simca had extremely long, pink hair past her waist and usually wore a police hat with goggles and a sailor uniform.
Later in the series she is given a relatively short haircut that reaches to her chin. Simca is an extremely well-endowed figure and often wears revealing outfits.
As a first generation Gravity Child, Simca is in her mid twenties.
PersonalityEdit
Simca is cheerful, energetic, friendly, polite, care-free, calm, laid-back and kind towards others. She is always usually friendly towards others and smiles most of the time. She is very caring towards her friends and always tries to help them whenever she can. She also is against the idea of needless bloodshed, such as when she had Behemoth incapacitate the weaker teams so they wouldn't get caught up in the Parts Wars so others won't get killed. She hates when her friends are hurt and is touched by when others try to help anyone who needs help.
Simca is very flirtatious, constantly flirting with Ikki on more than one occasion and even allowing him to see her naked on more than one occasion. This is due to her strong feelings for him (which is later developed into love). She doesn't appear to have much modesty, as she isn't uncomfortable to dress in revealing clothing (though she usually does it to impress Ikki or get his attention) and at points to show off her figure and is confident in her sex appeal.
However, Simca is serious when the situation demands it, such as when her friends lives are on the line; she doesn't hesitate to assist them in any way. Such as when Gorgon's body was left in her care, she refused to abandon her at the hands of Drake and fought him to protect her friends. Simca has also shown great bravery on more than one occasion, such as when Nike tried to sexually assaulted her and tried to kiss her, she played along and showed no fear towards him (though she later broke down terrified of what he did and prayed for Ikki and his team to be safe). After Nike was defeated by Kazu , Simca finally stood up against him and punched him in the face for everything he did and told him he would never be allowed to touch her again.
Surprisingly, Simca has shown quiet a strong sense of wisdom for her age, such as giving Ikki and his friends words of advice and telling Ringo not to keep interfering with Kogarasumaru's fights as they never asked for her help and that Ringo trying to help them would only insult their pride. Even Ringo (albeit reluctantly) admitted she was right. Even Sano has been impressed by her wisdom.
Simca seems to be fond of singing. She sings whenever she feels like it or to encourage others to not give up, such as she sang in the genesis ship to encourage Ikki by trying to inspire him to win his upcoming battle. She is also quite good at her singing.
Like Ikki, Simca loves Air Treck and loves to use it to feel the wind in her hair like she was flying.
SynopsisEdit
When first introduced, she works at a store called Mamurasaki Sports, where, among other equipment, Air TrecksandAir Treck parts are sold. Although part time, she quits later on to dedicate time to her team (This part hasn't been stated in anime). Simca's intent is to gather all the Kings, and their Regalia, for the purpose of conquering the Trophaeum tower, and acquiring the Sky Regalia. She takes a great interest in Ikki, whom she believes is destined to one day become the legendary Shitaku, and who has practically idolized her since watching her ride AT through his neighborhood. Despite protests, she convinces Ikki to take the Storm Rider team Genesis under his leadership after Kogarasumaru's triumph over Behemoth, and her interactions with Ikki eventually draws the ire of the new Sleeping Forest team, led by Noyamano Ringo.
She also appears to have a somewhat romantic interest in Ikki, and is not hesitant to allow him to grope her breasts. Though Ikki has no objections, and appears to have a crush on Simca, it is Ringo who always stops Simca from getting out of hand. These actions are not so persistent, and after the defeat of Behemoth, her character takes a dramatic change which is noted by Spitfire soon after.
At a later point, Simca had her hair cut short and her usual care-free attitude of "Migratory Bird"has all but disappeared, especially when anything related to Ikki is concerned (who Simca now has fallen in love with by having a feeling of a wind blowing in her heart about him). She constantly tried to get Ikki to formally sign on as head of Genesis but he refused, even calling her his "enemy" something that brought tears to her eyes moments before she was attacked by Sleeping Forest.
Added by WulveGaleShe is currently bound to a wheelchair due to injuries sustained from Om's Bubblegum Crisis attack. It would be proven that the person who attacked her was actually Ringo. This was due to them being enemies and Ringo almost killed Simca, causing Ikki to consider Ringo a traitor. This is proven to be only temporary, as revealed by Ringo. In reality, the 6 months of recovery is long enough to keep Simca out of harm's way in the upcoming battle (which was Ringo's intention to keep her from getting hurt and in the way of others).
During her time at the hospital, she began to remember what happened and, after calming down, she noticed Ikki sleeping in the chair next to her bed. She crawled out despite the pain and commented that he was too late. She snuggled up to him while being happy that he was there for her. She commented to herself that he's usually like a powerful and tempestuous wind, and yet when bundled up next to him, he's so peaceful and warm.
After being released from the hospital and after the intentions of the Takeuchi brothers are revealed, she is seen on board Nike's ship, where he aggressively expresses his sexual attraction to her by sexually assaulting her by ripping her dress off and groping her breasts and almost kissing her on the lips, and she plays along, although she prays for Kogarasumaru's safety soon after. Simca is again seen meeting with Ringo and Kururu Sumeragi to give Ikki the way to enter the Gram Scale tournament since they were disqualified. A struggle to see who could pass this information to Ikki first soon ensued. During the meeting she appears to be hoping to get a kiss from Ikki (ironically, so were Ringo and Kururu, though both attempted to deny this). This was interrupted when Kazu found out about the method and told Ikki himself. Simca then waits for a helicopter to pick her up once the meeting was over. While waiting, Ikki later asks her out to go on a "date" with her once the tournament ends, telling her to meet in the place where he discovered ATs which he means if she would like to run with him after everything is over. Upon hearing this she sheds tears of happiness and accepts the invitation. After she boards back with Nike and Sora, she says the reason why she likes him so much is because of him being able to look so strong in one small moment, and is seen crying tears of happiness and smiling at Ikki as they leave. Simca was one of the first-generation Gravity Children, along with Spitfire, Kilik, Sora and others. She is also Kilik's twin sister.
It is later revealed that Simca, under Makigami Ine's wing, was one of the founding members of Tool Toul To when the original Sleeping Forest was still around; and apparently held an exceptional amount of talent as a Tuner. She witnessed the aftermath of Takeuchi Sora, the original Wind King and candidate for the Sky King title, being betrayed by Kilik, the former Gem King, and her twin brother.
Added by Idontcare1111Simca is later confronted by Drake while she attempts to free Gorgon. He quickly rips off Simca's clothes and begins to tell her that Gorgon is an important hostage, and that they must not let her go or else Genesis will not be able to control Aeon Clock or the Sano corporation. Simca tells Drake that Sano will definitely come, and she starts to taunt him for messing with an innocent girl like herself. Drake grabs on to Simca violently telling her to shut her mouth, as he voices his confidence that Sano will not show up to rescue her - reason being that his opponent is the new powerful "Flame King" of Genesis Alexander Locke (ironically, Locke is actually completely defeated by Sano within a few seconds). Afterwards Drake becomes distracted when Gorgon regains consciousness, and Simca quickly decapitates him with her wheelchair. She later frees Gorgon and tells her they need to figure out a way to get off the ship.
Added by KaiserMarDuring Kazu and Nike's fight another torpedo was left off causing a massive explosion that destroyed the floor beneath them. This seemingly leads them to the floor where Simca is currently on. Seeing the explosion, Simca closes her eyes and when she opens them she finds Nike on top of her. Nike has a flashback showing Simca encouraging him to go to the top of the 'Tower'. Nike figures out that his weakness was his old teammates. Nike transforms his hand into a claw and stabs Simca through the chest, seemingly killing her. However, Simca survived (she was actually only hit hard enough to stun), and was last seen giving the Gem Regalia to Ikki after Nike's defeat and thanked Ikki for saving her and the others. Later, as Nike's body was being transported to survive she took pity on him and as he began to lose control of himself, she punched him fiercely in the face and sat on him stating that Sora used him and he should join their side. She stated she likes good-looking guys and would take care of him and would wear an apron for him or whatever, but coldly and ruthlessly stated she would never allow him to ever lay a finger on her again. It should be noted this is the first time Simca ever stood up to Nike and actually threatened his life.
Added by GegegeAfter gaining some new clothes (though keeping Ikki's coat for the top), Simca stops the others from going help fight Sora and Rika stating they need to have faith in Ikki and Ringo, knowing they can win the fight. Simca felt jealous, states that Ikki's willpower has gone to Ringo. She goes on to state that if one strong person is enough to compensate for the weakness of other members, what everyone should do is spread your strong wings like Ikki did.
Three months later after Sora's defeat, Simca became a freelance journalist.
RoadEdit
Simca is a rider of the Ring Road. She is said to be just as skilled as Kururu. She wears unique looking but nothing out of the ordinary ATs. They are black stilettos with a single wheel. She once had her own Regalia, but their current status and whereabouts are unknown. She is masterful in the art of riding, being able to perform difficult tricks, run fast, and climb buildings, but she lacks actual fighting abilities as stated by Ringo.
Being a Gravity Child, she posseses physical strength much greater than an ordinary human. In chapter 334, she was shown to be able to send Nike, a muscular man of much greater stature and weight, flying and the impact left an indent on his face. She also posseses the twinkle eye which gives her superior and natural riding abilities.
RelationshipsEdit
Itsuki MinamiEdit
Main Article: Ikki and Simca/Gallery
Simca has shown to have romantic interest in Ikki. She appears naked to him nearly every time they meet. She has no hesitance to let him grope her breasts. There are various times where they had almost kissed. She always rewards him erotically in some cases and is always there for him. Her feeling for him go largely unaddressed throughout the series, such as kissing him once on the cheek for saving her from the Rez Boa Dogs team. Simca has told Ringo that her feelings for Ikki are real and she is serious about him. In the beginning, she only showed her attention to him because she wanted him to join her team, but refused because they were enemies, which left her walking away in tears before Ringo attacked her. However, she showed he was the only man she ever had feelings for that were real, unlike some of the others she may have shown. Simca's feelings for him are derived for him being able to look so strong in one small moment and believe he is truly strong. She also likes him for being a strong man, stating she likes strong men and considers him handsome. Her feelings for him would later grow into affectionate, romantic love. Almost every time they are together she talks very relaxed to him, happy and cheerful, even in serious situations. She gets very excited when he asks her out on a date and actually hopes for a kiss from him. Simca has shown great rage whenever Ikki is laughed at or insulted, such as when Nike and Sora were laughing at Ikki's situation about not being able to get in the Gram Scale Tournament, Simca was infuriated and gave a terrifying look to the brothers when they couldn't see her. She also has a strong amount of trust in him, going as far as to give him her brothers Gem Regalia to fight Sora. Ikki himself in the beginning has also shown romantic interests in her, such as acting very excited for her "reward" when they first met and when she kissed him on the cheek. He has on more than one occasion wanted to kiss her and even dreamed about her kissing him. He is also rather protective of her and worries about her well-being, going as far as to stay at the hospital till she wakes up and she crawls over to where he's sitting and cuddles up with him as thanks. He even showed great anger when he found out she was attacked and cried over her condition and blamed himself for what happened, showing a deep care for her. However, Ikki has started to show love towards Ringo, though he did promise Simca after all this was over he would run with her afterwards on a date, much to her happiness. Simca is aware that Ikki has chosen ringo over, she claims ikki will power had moved on from her to ringo.
SpitfireEdit
Early on in the series, Simca is seen with Spitfire a lot. They seem to have a close friendship and often talk to each other over certain things (usually regarding Ikki and his team). They've known each other for years and know each other very well. Like Sano, Spitfire would give Simca some good advice and Spitfire was the one who cut her hair when she asked for it (due to her newfound love for Ikki).
KilikEdit
Kilik is Simca's twin brother. It is unknown if she was ever aware of Kilik's feelings for Rika. It can be assumed that Simca was close to her brother, despite being on separate teams and is aware of the talent her brother possesses. Despite being siblings, they haven't been shown interacting much in the series except on rare occasions and haven't talked to each other yet. It's fairly obvious that both Simca and her brother love each other very much as family. It is unknown if Simca is aware of her brother's death at the hands of Sora.
Ringo NoyamanoEdit
Simca and Ringo do not see eye to eye when it comes to Ikki, due to the fact that both girls love him. Simca even stole her outfit for Croissant Mask to teach her a lesson in battle and to have faith in Ikki and his team. In fact, it was because of Ringo that caused Simca to almost be crippled due to her attacking Simca after she talked with Ikki. Ringo showed no remorse for attacking Simca, doing so because they're enemies. It should be noted that Ringo possibly had the intent to kill Simca. However, Ringo only did this so Simca would be out of harms way for the upcoming battles and so Sleeping Forest would not cause more bloodshed than it already has. However, Simca did show that she was upset by what she and her team did to her. Ringo tends to get very irritated by Simca's interactions with Ikki (which usually involved her appearing naked to him at some times) and stops it from going too far. Simca told Ringo in the beginning that if Ringo doesn't have any interest in Ikki, then she let her take him because Simca proved she was serious about her feelings towards him. Ringo even realized what Simca said at that time when Simca pointed out Ringo would bring Ikki down due to them being enemies (which Ringo would realize she was right and almost killed Ikki in their match). Ringo has even shown jealousy towards Simca due to Ikki showning interests in her and making Ringo irritated to the affection she showed her in the beginning. They both do especially care about Ikki's feelings to both of them and their feelings for them and both try to get his attention anyway they can. Recently, Ikki has started to show romantic love towards Ringo, however, whether or not Simca knows or will do something about it or not is unknown.
Nike TakeuchiEdit
Nike is in love with Simca. She does not like him back but acts as she do when he is around. Nike is obsessed with Simca to the point that he told her she belongs to him and no one else. Nike even sexually assaulted her by ripping off her dress and groping her breasts. He almost kissed her on the lips. But, Simca didn't keep him away and acted as if she were in love with him. When he was gone, it was revealed that Simca was just acting and wasn't in love with Nike and broke down and was terrified of what he tried to do to her and prayed for Ikki and the others to be safe. She detests his ruthlessness towards her and her friends and the only reason she puts up with him is because she knows of the danger he possesses and what he can do to her friends. In fact, he tried to kill her to remove the one thing that was holding him back. Simca even gave Nike and his brother an evil look whenever they laugh or insult Ikki. By the time of his defeat, she took pity on him due to what he's become and finally stood up to him and punched him in the face stating that Sora used him. She then sat on his face and told him she would wear an apron or whatever he want and take care of him, but coldly and ruthlessly stated she would never allow him to lay a finger on her again.
TriviaEdit
- In the extras of Air Gear Volume 3, the author shows that Simca had a much different character design which consisted of a tank top, long arm gloves and pants and different shaped goggles, before her final image.
- Simca's name may or may not have been influenced by the French automaker with the same name, who's logo depicts a swallow.
- Simca is probably based of Gum from Jet Set Radio, a female character with a similiar outfit as Simca.
- Simca's "real reward" that she gave Ikki was different in anime and manga. In the manga, she took off her shirt and showed her breasts to Ikki. In the anime, she let Ikki grope her breasts.
