[edit] Background
The Knight Sabers are a vigilante team of four young women. To enhance their natural abilities, they each wear a power armor suit. Each of them is a specialist in a different field. They were recruited by Sylia Stingray to battle the corrupt Genom corporation that dominates their home city of Megatokyo and which was responsible for her father's death.
In order to finance their activities, the Knight Sabers also accept paying jobs as bodyguards or mercenaries. Their main activity is fighting out-of-control boomers, half biological/half-mechanical robots built by Genom.
In their civilian guises, each character has a signature vehicle which is strongly associated with her.

In Bubblegum Crash, she has spun off into a solo act and in the remake she is the lead singer of the rock band "Sekiria." Priss is a highly skilled, though highly reckless driver, and drives (and wrecks) numerous motorcycles during the series. She favors small, high-performance "crotch rocket" type bikes.
