A girl from the future after the destruction of the Second Crusades. 
Daughter of Ky and Dizzy, she inherits Gear blood like her brother Sin. 
In the ruined future, Nerville discovers her while still inside her egg and raises her to faithfully follow his orders. 
She travels to the past from the future where mankind is on the brink of extinction, convinced by Nerville that this is how to save the world, and engages Sol and the others in combat. 
Her feelings begin to waver after meeting Sin and Bridget, leading to her parting ways with Nerville. She teams up with Sin and the others to thwart Nerville’s attempted invasion. 
Aware that her origins left her unfamiliar with the world and humanity, Unika sets off on a journey under supervision of the United States. 
Through her many encounters with others during her travels, she learns of peace and herself. She decides to use her power to ensure people like her future self do not come to be. 
After a long journey, she refuses the offer to stay with her family in Vialattea and instead ends up working as Presidential Bodyguard Trainee. 
She is allowed to handle missions on her own, although the United States constantly tracks her using magic. 

Guilty Gear Strive has also added two new additional stages, “In the Name of Peace” and “New Dawn, A Future Unfolding” have also been added.

“In the Name of Peace” features plains where signs of the Crusades still linger, and greenery has started to cover the rubble and the abandoned base, creating a sense of the flow of time and the harsh reality of the fight for peace. 

“New Dawn, A Future Unfolding” features an autonomous city of Gears, and along with showing their culture, this stage includes not only human tourists but also people helping construct the symbol of the city to provide a glimpse at the deepening bond between Gears and humans. 

Unika is now available on Guilty Gear Strive and for all players who own Season Pass 4.
