Background[]

Utai was the 'Fire' of the Elements, a group of element-themed Burst Linkers loyal to Black Lotus until her disappearance. She was born in a family of Noh performers and started performing at a very young age. Utai enjoyed doing the performance and thought that she would be able to perform even when she is older. However, her family traditions do not allow a female to perform after a certain age which deeply saddens her. Her brother, Mirror Masker, tried to cheer her up by installing Brain Burst program onto her. However, the Ardor Maiden turned out to be from Utai's wish to continue being a performer. Mirror Masker then felt guilty for installing the Brain Burst program into his sister and went to beg his family to allow his sister to continue to perform. That was when huge mirrors fell onto him killing him. Utai who witnessed the scene lost her ability to talk except for the two brain burst commands as well as her life as a Noh performer.[2]
