The Fighting Chef Jam Kuradoberi Joins Guilty Gear -Strive-

A chef who fights with her bare fists. She is extremely stubborn and hates losing. She is easily irritated, especially by indecisiveness, but is fast to excuse her own faults. Pretty boys are the only exception. This may make her sound like a narcissistic hypocrite, but in truth, Jam is a realist with a sharp eye on her surroundings. Jam's almost inhuman fighting skill is the result of her grounded perspective, total faith in herself, and perseverance. A few months have passed since her third restaurant burned down. Jam takes her food stand on the road, searching for someone with Usagi, her only clue, at her side…

Usagi

A mysterious rabbit that appeared suddenly before Jam. Jam calls him Usagi, with no intention of giving him a proper name. He helps Jam out, although he's always trying to steal her food. He possesses dexterity and gluttony unthinkable for a normal rabbit.
