11BansyAppearancePink hair, street-punk styleOccupationStreet artistRoleCreative combat specialistWeaponPaintball minigun (laser plus paint splash)AffiliationA.C.D.First revealProject Mugen era, 2024Playable in CBT1Not confirmed22Bansy is a pink-haired street artist and one of the A.C.D. characters. She has a street-punk aesthetic and wields a gun that fires lasers with colorful paint splashes. Her attacks are messy and colorful, which fits the game's urban art style. Press descriptions summarize her personality as "as destructive as she is creative."33Overview55Bansy is the closest the revealed Ananta cast comes to a straight-up graffiti-punk archetype. Her personal identity is wrapped around making art in public spaces inside Nova Cityand her combat style lets her keep painting even while she is in a fight. That makes her a walking brand for the game's urban-sandbox hook, and explains why her design has appeared heavily in promotional key art and fan galleries since the Project Mugen announcement.77Like the rest of the main roster, she is an Espera person with supernatural abilities inside Ananta's setting. Whether her paint-based attacks are a product of her Esper power, a piece of custom gear she built herself, or both has not been explicitly clarified in public materials.1010Combat1212Bansy uses a paintball minigun as her signature weapon. It appears to shoot lasers, but every shot leaves behind a vivid paint splash wherever it lands. The visual effects of her attacks are chaotic and colorful, like splattered graffiti across the battlefield, and coverage from previews describes her as a "creative combat specialist."1414That description fits Ananta's broader design of improvisational, sandbox-style fights. The base combat system leans on environmental weapons such as golf clubs and trash bins, encourages creative improvised tactics, and is built around 4-character parties that swap on the fly. A high-rate-of-fire paint weapon dovetails neatly with that design, letting Bansy lay down area pressure while the rest of the party closes the distance with melee.1616Paint as Combat Signal1818The paint-splash layer doubles as a visual identity marker: between fights, Bansy's trail of color is left on surfaces, hinting at a world-state system where her passage marks the city. This is consistent with the game's framing that every character leaves something behind in Nova City, whether that is Taffy's delivery routes, Richie's arrest records, or, for Bansy, literal paint. No verified gameplay footage has shown persistent paint marks lasting across missions, so the full scope of this mechanic is not yet confirmed.2020Story and Relationships2222Bansy's backstory, her job in the Identity Systemand the full extent of her abilities have not been detailed in official materials. She is aligned with the A.C.D. roster at least in early concept, and her "destructive as she is creative" framing fits a rebellious, questioning temperament that would clash productively with more rules-bound party members such as Richie and the Captain.2424She is one of four Project Mugen era characters (with AlanMechanikaand Dila) whose dedicated bios were removed from the official site during its September 2025 redesign, so her final narrative arc remains open.2626Appearance2828Bansy's promotional art is built around a punk-streetwear silhouette. She has pink hair, typically styled into low twintails, with a small tag-friendly hat and a tied-off jacket look. Her outfit palette shifts around yellow and black accents, with fingerless gloves and loose shorts that let her move. This visual identity contrasts with Richie's sharper, uniformed policing look and sets her apart from Mechanika's cooler techno silhouette, making the three visually distinct on key art lineups.3030Media Appearances3232EventDateNotesProject Mugen character reveal2024Introduced as a street artist with a paintball minigun.Rebrand to AnantaNovember 2024Project Mugen renamed to Ananta; Bansy retained on the early website.Site restructureSeptember 23, 2025Bansy's bio removed from the official Ananta site alongside Alan, Meg, and Dila.CBT1January 16-20, 2026Captain, Taffy, and Richie confirmed playable; Bansy not among them.3434Trivia3535Bansy's name and punk-art aesthetic visibly echo real-world street artist Banksy, though NetEase has not commented on the reference in official materials.Her weapon is one of the few that doubles as a visual-identity statement: paint splashes mark every fight, which is thematically consistent with a graffiti artist who leaves their tag wherever they go.Bansy was heavily featured in early fan-facing key art and community channels during the Project Mugen era, which is why she retains strong name recognition even after the September 2025 site purge.3737What We Don't Know Yet3939Bansy's backstory, her job in the Identity System, whether her paint weapon has elemental variants or tied-in utility effects, and her final launch status remain unconfirmed. If she returns as a playable hero, she is a natural fit for either a ranged DPS slot or a crowd-control specialist who leans on paint coverage to zone enemies.4141Related4343CharactersA.C.D.
