Norma Hollowell's Lore

Last updated 2026-09-09

"Norma, you can't tell customers their hair looks like 'a bird's nest that was hit by an EMP blast.' Next time, try saying: 'Your hairstyle is very dynamic.' Come on, repeat after me."
Velina, adding on to the External Strategy Department's Official Handbook

"'Destruction is the mother of creation' — That's our Chief Technician's catchphrase. It's also why our hallways are fixed with fire supression systems every thirty meters... All for encouraging the flourishing of creativity, I guess..."
—An ESD employee, breaking out in a cold sweat

"Ehn nu, neh nu nah, ehn ne...
(If only I hadn't fallen for those honeyed words and slipped right into her trap...)"

—The Bangboo of Norma's Victims Support Group, who all fell into a deep silence after hearing those words

"Battle Sequence B: Ehn-nah Barrage! Battle Sequence A: Rumble Drill! Battle Sequence Z... You won't wanna know~
—Norma, showing off her prized weapon stash

Official Introduction

"If a Hollow Raider and a Bangboo with the same mass both fell from Roscaelifer at the same time, which one would hit the ground first?"
Norma Hollowell

"I'll just need to swap out one more part, and we're done~ I'll hook you up with the latest Ether Battery as a reward!"
"That time when you spun around like a top for three days straight was just a rare occurrence!"
"And that one time you walked around all day with your ears! Isn't that cool?!"

Agent Details

Norma, Chief Technician of the External Strategy Department and a central figure within Marcel Group's technological center. No matter how long or complicated her titles may sound, the young Miss Norma is without question a titan in the field of Bangboo technology. Even Lady Sunbringer herself may not understand every gear and chip inside a Bangboo body better than Norma does.

She fits every stereotype people have about genius scientists: her engineering skills are exceptional, while her people skills are inversely proportional. She takes Velina's "Etiquette Manual" seriously, and is equally serious about never following it.

A firm believer in performance above all, she was once feared by Bangboo due to her radical Bangboo modification techniques and somewhat less-than-Bangboo-centered approach, earning a reputation as a terrifying scientist who would stop at nothing for her research. ...The safety engineers at the External Strategy Department lab may share a similar view.

It's less that the title of "Chief Technician" crowned Norma in the field of Bangboo technology, and more that Norma herself represents the pinnacle of the Marcel Group's technological achievements.

She has absolute confidence in her own technology and is always driven by a curiosity to pursue new things and push boundaries. As for the methods she uses to satisfy that curiosity, depending on one's perspective, they could be described as either "innocent" or "terrifying."

She possesses sharp insight, capable of noticing connections between things that most people would never understand, and her methods of solving problems are often wildly unconventional.

Although feared by Bangboo, she still somehow manages to rope many of them into participating in her experiments. The key is her surprisingly impressive social skills with Bangboo and preschool-aged children alike, though those skills only seem effective on the innocent and inexperienced.

Her methods often leave both people and Bangboo who do not understand her intentions feeling uneasy, yet her deep dedication to Bangboo technology stems not only from scientific curiosity but also from the burden of carrying on Lady Sunbringer's technological legacy.
