Taruko Ishibashi was born to young couple on Kyoto base 800 A.S. Taruko couldn't spent her time with parents, because threat from Tekagi's base was bigger and bigger, day by day. Renzo and 'Chimaera' made a difficult choice about young daughter and they flew with her to Sigmas-19 system. Taro Katsuo, current Guild Master, met Taruko and her parents on Gas Miner Ogashawa and promised them Taruko's safety till they will come back for her. Taro found her new family on Ogashawa, a young couple, Kimi and Teto Mishima. They accepted her as their own daughter, they knew it was was for a short time, but they gave her true love as her biologic parents could give her. Teto and Kimi forgot she isn't their daughter and they spent beautiful life with Taruko. It was 818 A.S when Teto and Kimi helped her and she bought her first ship, Eagle. She was flying in Sigma sectors, discovering beautiful systems, stars, jump holes and new adventures. One day it was 819 A.S, stranger met Taruko at Hiran planet and told her, that her parents have fatal decease and they would like meet her once more. Few hours later she arrived to Ogashawa and ran to her 'parents'. Teto and Kimi were surprised when Taruko walked in and hugged them. They asked her why is she so sad and Taruko told them about 'their decease'. Teto, Kimi and Taruko sat down on the chairs around the table. Teto took Kimi's hand and they told Taruko what happend in 800 A.S. They told her she isn't their daughter, but her parents are in Hokkaido or Chugoku. Taruko was disapointed but she accepted the truth about her parents and asked Teto and Kimi, if they can help her.
Teto, Kimi and Taruko contacted Guild Master Katsuo and Taro told them where they can find Renzo and 'Chimaera', her parents. Teto and Kimi had their own ship, Karasu, so they flew to Renzo's last known location, Kyoto. Few hours later they landed, including some security problems. Young Dragon lead them and after few minutes later they were standing in large dark hall. Dragon left them and few seconds later Renzo and Chimaera arrived. Renzo was wearing old armor without his helm and Chimaera was wearing beautiful kimono. Chimaera and Taruko had beautiful eyes and long silver hair, Chimaera looked like older version of Taruko, but still she was beautiful 38 years old woman. Renzo was 42 years old man, he had short brown hair , green eyes. Taruko found her parents, she came to her mother and hugged her mother carefuly . Chimaera was crying and Renzo hugged them both. Teto and Kimi were watching them and told Renzo and Chimaera everything about Taruko. Renzo answered, they were missing Taruko so much, but they were busy and Kyoto wasn't safe place during Nomad war. Renzo and Chimaera told Taruko everything about her. They told her she is half-dragon and half-chrysanthemum, and told her about her great potential. Teto, Kimi, Renzo, Chimaera and Taruko sat down and young dragon brought glasses and cups. Few seconds later another dragon brought bottle of Sake and Blossom tea.
Last days has come, day when her parents must leave this world, day full of sad feelings, day when decease won this battle.
One year later, Taruko became pilot of Gas Miners Guild Paramilitary, but she couldn't stop... Her Parents...Chrysanthemum and Dragon...
Her first day was quite difficult. She received her first GMG ship, Karasu and few minutes later she met Guild Master Katsuo, who helped her with first patrol. Unfortunaly, they met strangers at Honshu jump gate. Chimaeras... Weird equipment, Weird feelings... Taruko's first encounter with Aoi Iseijin. Aoi Iseijin Chimaeras engaged Taruko and Taro and after a while both ships were destroyed... Fortunaly GMG wing arrived, picked both escape pods and brought them back to Ogashawa where Taruko had interesting talks with Paramilitary pilots. She received new Karasu and next day she found AI ships in Sigma-13. Taruko called Paramilitary wing, which followed AI intrudors and stopped them in Sigma-17 system. Unfortunatly Contari Lanciers arrived and engaged AI intrudors, our Paramilitary wing was watching this show, but we made a mistake. Few minutes later, Aoi Iseijin group arrived and helped Contari Lanciers against AI. After AI destruction, Lanciers and Iseijins made a circle around our wing... Taruko, Taro, Kami and Johnny were like a group of sheeps waiting for their death. They knew it's suicide, but they couldn't run. Taruko and her friends were engaged by Aoi Iseijin group again between Sigma-19 jump gate and wreck of Freeport-7.Few minutes later or Taruko's friends were down and she was the last one standing. She couldn't hit them, because feeling were blocking her skills. Taro exploded in front of her Karasu, Kami too and Johnny... His ship was destroyed by Umibozu. Taruko was counting last seconds and Iseijin destroyed her ship by Nomad Antimatter cannon.
Few months later Taruko visited Kyoto base and her Dragon friends in awesome Red Dragon bar. Taruko met there her old GC friend and few hours later both flew to the Ainu depot, where Taruko met Lady Red, miss Subarashi and Savannah Maya. Taruko told them about her life story, Iseijins, GMG, parents... And few hours later... Taruko has began her second life... Life of the Golden Chrysanthemum.

Height: 170 cm
Affilation: GMG Paramilitary, Golden Chrysanthemums
Parents: Dragon Renzo Ishibashi ^ Sister "Chimaera"
Taruko choosed her new GC nickname, which perfectly described her life and her kind heart. Taruko's heart was, is and will be beating for Guild and Sisterhood, so Taruko named herself Fuel Lady. Her sisters helped Taruko with Karasu transponder and they changed it to GC transponder easily. New adventures has begun, but she never forget her true love... Her Guild...her life...Guild friends. Taruko's main enemies were Corsairs, Outcasts, AI, Hogosha, Samura and the worst enemy was Kruger Minerals. GMG and Kruger encounters weren't the happiest events in Sigma systems, everytime was someone harmed or ships were destroyed. But these days are Krugers flying without escorts.. Samura... They never used escorts in Sigmas, so they were easy targets. Taruko loved hunting season, when she was hunting Samura and Kruger transports in Sigma13 and Sigma19 system. The craziest encounter with Kruger was few weeks ago, when Taruko and Taro prepared trap. Taruko disrupted lane between Naha and Helgoland station and Kruger convoy has been caught there. Taro Katsuo arrived there, but Military ships arrived too. Taruko fined Kruger vessels, but Military denied and Kruger refused to pay our fine. So Taruko and Taro engaged Kruger train and destroyed it in Frankfurt. Rheinlanders weren't happy, but they couldn't do anything. Next day Lady Red visited Taruko in Sigma-13. They weren't here alone because Iseijin was there too and it told Taruko and Lady about right path, genesis and problems . It was the first time when Taruko was thinking about Iseijin group. She flew back to the the Ogashawa and tried to find some information about group called Aoi Iseijin.
Few days later, Taruko was doing her routine patrol in Sigma-19 system when she found AI machines lurking around Ogashawa and Planet Hiran. Taruko was so angry, because she hate AI, especialy when they are lurking in Guild's systems. Taruko contacted Ogashawa defense wing and few minutes later there were 2 GMG Bombers and Dragon Gunboat. Taruko wanted blow this bastard AI Cruiser, but... But something was talking to her... Something she couldn't see... Voice controled her mind, dreams, feelings... Taruko couldn't resist and voice showed her darkness, beautiful Siren, everything about human race. Taruko knew people are killing their own race, but voice shows her right path. "One human can't change human race, it's shame to be part of this dumb race, which isn't uniting people against Human enemies." she said and followed weird voice which led her to the Sigma-19 asteroid field, after battle against AI cruiser. Taruko met Iseijin named Mortensen and her old memories showed her last encounters with Iseijin. Her Kaichou was prepared for Iseijin destruction, antimatter cannon has been charged, but Mortensen told her about her potential about Divine and about right path. Taruko nodded and opened her mind. Few seconds later, darkness consumed her and new Taruko has begun her third life.
Next day Taruko met Mortensen in Sigma-19 again. This day with another Iseijin and they flew to the Honshu system, where they caught IMG transport. Taruko was playing role of defender and her Iseijin friends wanted pirate this transport. Unfortunaly KNF arrived and Iseijin disappeared and Taruko new problem. When she arrived to Tokio with transport, KNF Chimaeras were waiting there. It was well prepared trap. One officer escorted transport out of jump gate. Transport captain was refusing, he was worried about Taruko's life, but he listened and flew to the Tokio planet. KNF weren't friendly and Taruko was angry, Mortensen stopped her. It would be suicide and KNF shouldn't capture her. So she listened and flew back to the Aomori station where she met transport again. Few minutes later KNF came back to the Aomori and they were aggresive towards Taruko again. She annoyed them and docked to Aomori station, where Iseijin told her it was admirable act.
