Wakaba is a young martial artist training in Long Chan Chan Style Martial Arts. Wakaba's fascination with martial arts began at a local dojo, where she started her training<ref>"Her love for the martial arts started at a local dojo in her neighborhood, and she's been in training ever since..." - Richmond ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.  
Wakaba was a skilled martial artist who trained in the dragon-style martial arts under her master, [[Long Chan-Chan]]. She was described as a young, unsuspecting woman with an innocent and pure-hearted personality, known for her boundless curiosity and willingness to embrace challenges. Wakaba's infectious enthusiasm served as motivation for her master, Long Chan-Chan, but she was also aware of his imperfections.
One day, her master declared that she needed to seek out stronger opponents and left her<ref>"I'm on a training journey with my master. But... he told me to search for worthy opponents and took off..." - Wakaba ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>. While searching in [[Forest Village]], she encountered [[Hero (Suikoden II)]]. Impressed by the young man's strength, she joined the [[New State Army]].
 
Her journey in martial arts began at a local dojo, conveniently located near her home. Driven by the aspiration to become a proficient martial arts master like her mentor, Wakaba subjected herself to rigorous training, utilizing her leg guards both as a weapon and protection during practice.
 
Combining her dedication to training, innate talent, and the power of the [[White Tiger Rune]] she possesses, Wakaba's strength gradually grew, propelling her to the status of a first-class fighter despite her young age. When her master advised her to seek out stronger opponents, he departed, leaving her to set out on her own path.


During the [[Dunan Unification War]], Wakaba was reunited with her master [[Long Chan Chan]] in [[Crom Village]]. The two trained together for the duration of the war. Wakaba's training routine was demanding<ref>"Yesterday she did 200 squats, 50 pull-ups and then 200 sit-ups.  And that was just before breakfast....." - Richmond ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>, but Wakaba was highly dedicated<ref>"She tries hard at everything she does.  She borrowed a jigsaw puzzle from a friend and worked on it all night.  She got so frustrated that she finally busted it up." - Richmond ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.
While on her way to Tinto Principality in search of Long Chan-Chan, Wakaba's exhaustive training led to fatigue, causing her to collapse in the [[Greenhill Forest]]. There, she was discovered by [[Nash Latkje]], who assisted her in reaching safety on horseback. Wakaba's naïve and curious nature made her fascinated by the various people they encountered during their journey through the forest.


Following the war, Wakaba continued to train with her master, with the goal of being able to beat a bear with her bare hands<ref>"Training daily with her teacher, her goal is to beat a bear with her bare hands." - Wakaba's Ending Text ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.
Subsequently, Wakaba found herself in the [[Forest Village]], where she encountered [[Hero (Suikoden II)|the leader]] of the [[New Alliance Army]]. Impressed by his strength, she joined the force, eventually reuniting with Long Chan-Chan in [[Crom Village]], where they fought together in the army's infantry regiments, forming a well-coordinated duo on the battlefield. The two would also train daily, never wavering in their efforts or their pure-hearted desire to become stronger.


==References==
Even after the [[Dunan Unification War]]'s conclusion, Wakaba continued her training under her master's guidance, striving to achieve the remarkable feat of being able to defeat a bear using only her bare hands.

History

Hmm, there's a limit to how much training I can do by myself. I wonder where Master is?

—  Wakaba

Wakaba was a skilled martial artist who trained in the dragon-style martial arts under her master, Long Chan-Chan. She was described as a young, unsuspecting woman with an innocent and pure-hearted personality, known for her boundless curiosity and willingness to embrace challenges. Wakaba's infectious enthusiasm served as motivation for her master, Long Chan-Chan, but she was also aware of his imperfections.

Her journey in martial arts began at a local dojo, conveniently located near her home. Driven by the aspiration to become a proficient martial arts master like her mentor, Wakaba subjected herself to rigorous training, utilizing her leg guards both as a weapon and protection during practice.

Combining her dedication to training, innate talent, and the power of the White Tiger Rune she possesses, Wakaba's strength gradually grew, propelling her to the status of a first-class fighter despite her young age. When her master advised her to seek out stronger opponents, he departed, leaving her to set out on her own path.

While on her way to Tinto Principality in search of Long Chan-Chan, Wakaba's exhaustive training led to fatigue, causing her to collapse in the Greenhill Forest. There, she was discovered by Nash Latkje, who assisted her in reaching safety on horseback. Wakaba's naïve and curious nature made her fascinated by the various people they encountered during their journey through the forest.

The two would also train daily, never wavering in their efforts or their pure-hearted desire to become stronger.

Even after the Dunan Unification War's conclusion, Wakaba continued her training under her master's guidance, striving to achieve the remarkable feat of being able to defeat a bear using only her bare hands.
