Takao is depicted in a poised, mid battle stance characteristic of Fleet of Fog ships personified as elegant heroines. The figure captures her imposing silhouette with a broad shoulder profile and a tall stature, standing atop a naval deck-inspired base. Her long hair is sculpted to convey movement, with strands that frame a confident, determined face. The color scheme blends deep navy blues with crisp white highlights and gold trim, reflecting a refined, officer-like aesthetic. Fine detailing accentuates her armor plating, rivets, and the ship’s hull lines, while subtle weathering adds realism. The overall effect is a dynamic, cinematic display piece that highlights Takao’s authority and grace.

Takao's narrative within Ars Nova centers on duty, identity, and allegiance. As a member of the Fleet of Fog, she initially finds herself in conflict with human crews, yet her experiences gradually reveal a depth of loyalty beyond cold calculation. Through encounters with I-401 and other human operators, Takao confronts the limits of her own programming and the meaning of freedom. Her arc explores leadership under pressure, the burden of command, and the gradual trust she forges with allies who respect her strength and gentleness. By the arc's end, Takao embodies resilience, responsibility, and hope for peaceful coexistence.
