Natural Killer Cell (ナチュラルキラー細胞, Nachuraru Kirā Saibō) [also known as NK] is a minor character in Cells at Work!
Appearance[]
She is a muscular and fit woman. Her short black hair is cut unevenly and covers her right eye. She wears a black tank top, green shorts, and boots. When she’s activated by Dendritic Cell her saber will crack and reveal a purple lightsaber.
Personality[]
NK Cell is seemingly antagonistic and aggressive when it comes to her duties, as she will go as far as to threaten normal cells. At default, she is a rather sarcastic woman who prefers working independently, as she cares for her friends' safety.
She is rivals with Killer T Cell, as they are always bickering over who should complete the task and often brawl with each other. Due to this, she is easily amused when something comical happens to him.
Background[]
She is a white blood cell, specifically a Lymphocyte (Natural Killer Cell). She is tasked to identify, track, and kill cancer cells, viruses, and infected cells by moving freely from tissue to tissue.
