Idolizing the Blades and Drivers of Alrest, Tora wants nothing more than to become a Driver, even though he lacks to ability to resonate with a Blade (he got a nosebleed for three days last time he tried). To that end, he aims to complete Poppi, an artificial Blade originally designed by his father and grandfather. When fully completed, Poppi grants Tora powerful attacks consisting of sword strikes and laser blasts.
