Nowan

Nowan is a new character that was introduced in Metal Slug Attack.

Character Summary
A shapeshifter, capable of transforming into anything it has seen. Nowan has no idea what its original form looks like, however, nor any idea as to its own identity.

Its earliest memory is of seeing a large beast, which it promptly transformed into and then believed itself to be. Sometime thereafter it encountered a beautiful young girl - transforming again, the startled original demanded it to relinquish her form. This confused the shapeshifter. "I could do that, but then what would I become?" It realised it didn't know its own shape, and asked the girl who it was - "No one!" she cried, a label it subsequently took as a name.

Although even Nowan doesn't know its own gender (or even if it has one), other characters refer to it using male pronouns - despite this, it typically takes on the form of the girl who "identified" it. In between transformations, however, it passes through the shape of a purple sphere, with a hue similar to that of a morphing Invader.

Nowan is the most skilled mimic within the Invader army, capable of transforming into anything from just a quick observation (including complex machinery, such as the Sand Marine). It believes itself to become a perfect replication, and considers it odd that others can tell it apart from its subjects, failing to understand the differences even when they're pointed out to it.
