Details[]
The Yaksha is a small android with a female appearance, dressed in a white gi and wearing a small crown on her head. She is a more technical character, recommended for more experienced players. Despite her small frame and light weight she isn't particularly fast, and her normal range and jumping height are rather poor. However, she has multiple tools on her arsenal to compensate, such as her extendable arms, which allows her to hit and grapple enemies from a distance, use them to propel herself in the air or swing them around herself to hit enemies in all directions. Additionally, quite a few of her attacks will propel her into the air, giving her a lot of juggling potential.

Trivia[]
- She is named after the Yaksha, a nature spirit from Hindu mythology.
- One of the Yaksha's most prominent design features is her rather large bust size. Her breasts actually work as a storage compartment for her extendable arms, swelling down whenever she extends them to attack.
