Chelsea Moog
A keyboardist who possesses “Ultimate Pitch.”
Born into a musical family, she was once trained by her parents to become “the world’s greatest pianist.” However, from early childhood she underwent abnormal training that involved heavy use of custom-made nanoparticle drugs. As a result, she gained the ability to read people’s emotions as if they were a kind of inner voice, by sensing subtle cues such as the tone of their voice and the various sounds their bodies produce.
This ability came to be known as “Ultimate Pitch,” surpassing even perfect pitch, and it attracted the attention of researchers. But the people around her—including her parents—found her unsettling because she could perceive their true feelings. Eventually she was taken in and raised at a research facility affiliated with the University of Tokyo. Fortunately, the staff there treated her kindly. Since it was also believed that continuing piano would positively influence her ability, she was allowed to keep playing. Nevertheless, she gradually began to put up emotional walls between herself and others.
Since then, she has lived without opening her heart to anyone. But after seeing Mia Fender’s activities in the city—and hearing Mia’s ridiculously straightforward inner voice—she became drawn to her and joined QuarDead as their keyboardist.
Hearing the inner voices of others causes her intense stress. She calls these voices “noise,” and usually shuts them out by blasting loud music through Eclipse Corporation–made headphones. However, she feels a sense of trust toward her bandmates, who are honest and without hidden motives. When she’s with them, the volume is noticeably lower.
At first glance she appears cool and prickly, but in truth she is deeply attached to music. The aggressive playing style of QuarDead, which seems to blow away all surrounding noise, is something she treasures as truly irreplaceable.
Because she particularly hates the lustful “noise” emitted by the men around her, she also refers to men who approach her as noise. From her perspective, quiet Living Dead are honestly easier to deal with.
