The Doctor (医者 Isha) is a main character of Akudama Drive. She is an attractive master surgeon, chemist and all-around medical doctor who can heal herself almost instantly from injuries that would normally prove fatal.
Due to killing multiple people and performing surgery on others without their consent, she was classified as an Akudama and given a prison sentence of 432 years.
The Doctor is a tall and beautiful woman with wavy chest-length pink hair that fades to light blue at the tips and tied in a low side ponytail where it usually rests on her left shoulder with bangs swept to the left side while she has a shoulder-length hanging on the right side, golden yellow eyes and a desirable body shape. She wears glasses that have pink glass and black frames. Her eyebrows are noticeably dark, suggesting that she bleaches her hair.
Attirewise, she dresses very skimpily, wearing a dark purple sleeveless, strapless bodysuit with a translucent pink strapless crop top with corset lacing at the front and a matching mini-skirt of the same fabric. She wears a white doctor's coat over this, with a stethoscope as a necklace in addition to her bomb collar and a black belt with a gold circle buckle. She tops this off with wearing thigh-high boots with high heels.
The Doctor is a mad scientist who toys with people's lives for fun. She has a calm demeanor and tends to tease Courier. She has a habit of messing with her nails, and her favorite foods are wine and cheese. She enjoys power and likes to feel she has control over the life and death of those around her, with this ambition having been stated to have been her main motivation for becoming a Doctor in the first place.
As seen with her betrayal of the other Akudama's and her employers (both the Brother and later the Executioners), she does not have any qualms with betraying others for her own benefit and to get what she wants.
The Doctor is also shown to have a murderous streak where she has shown to have a habit of killing anyone for no apparent reason other than a whim, as seen where she was shown to have little to no motivation or care to casually committing mass murder by killing all the passengers in the train or air ship she was taking for no apparent reason other than the fact that they annoyed her. Later as revealed by her, she showed to have no problem with purposefully rigging her first aid treatment on Brawler to subtly kill him due to simply finding him to be "annoying", showing how little she actually cares for others.
As stated by her and observed, Doctor possess a very twisted perception of what it means to be a "doctor", with her believing that as she is a doctor, it is her right and role to "play and toy with everyone's life", this includes her own. This belief being her prime motivation for her highly amoral and sadistic disposition towards others and her lack of regret in any of her actions of operating on people for fun, nonchalantly killing people in scores solely due to boredom or purposefully killing someone due to being annoyed with them.
This belief has been shown to have even given the Doctor something akin to a God Complex, with her ultimate goal being is to obtain the power needed to bend "Death" itself to her will, with her wanting the ability to simply want something to "die" and they die instantly and if she wants them to "live", they live.
It is due to this desire that the Doctor has researched and studied extensively in the medical field for the sole goal of obtaining this "power".
The Doctor is known for her interesting methods of crime; she will save one life, but kill whoever gets in her way, typically with scalpels or other medical tools. She also has an expertise with chemicals such as tranquilizers. She also alludes to the idea that she gives more sexual favors in exchange for what she wants, displayed when she asks for a smoke from Courier and offers that he, "can have a go" while pressing against him.
