Strea

Strea (ストレア) is one of the characters in Sword Art Online: Infinity Moment and Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment, voiced by Misawa Sachika, who also voices Kuroyukihime in Accel World, a series by the same author.

SAO Infinity Moment/Hollow Fragment Avatar
Strea's Infinity Moment and Hollow Fragment Avatar has lavender hair which goes down to the base of her neck with two long strands on either side of her head which go down to the top of her breasts. She has two moles on her left breast inside her cleavage. Her eyes are red-violet, nearly pink.

She wears a lilac-color, strapless dress with a black piece of fabric going across the breasts and down to her stomach, below an intricate coat. This coat is made up of violet and plum shaded components, reaching as far down as the hem of her dress but also leaving some areas open which expose the dress below. Above that she wears a collar of the same violet of her coat, outlined in lavender with a red jewel securing the collar in place. It appears that the components that go over her detached black sleeves are connected to this collar. These components that go over the black sleeves appear to cover them completely except for at the wrist and hand where it joins to her finger. She wears plum stockings, which have, much like the rest of her outfit, whorls etched on. They go up under the dress and are connected by something triangular.

Her main weapon of choice is a large, purple two-handed blade with silver edges.

Infinity Moment
Strea started tailing Kirito after the events of the 75th Floor's boss fight. She did so without him noticing, even with his high-level detection skill. Although his skill could not detect anything, he could feel her presence and, eventually, forced her to reveal herself. Strea greeted him with a smile and introduced herself, though she did not tell Kirito the reason why she had been tailing him in the first place.

Thoughout the game, Strea will seen in a Labyrinth searching for "something". She claims that this "something" is important, but she has no idea what it was or what it looks like. She will also occasionally experience headaches the further the group gets in reaching the top floor. After getting close to the 100th floor, Strea will join the Assault group in subduing the floor master (However she will not participate in the battle or be available as a partner) and receive a severe headache before suddenly changing her personality and disappearing into thin air.

Strea will reappear in the next couple of floors, attempting to prevent Kirito and the others from completing the game. She reappears after Alberich(who is revealed to be Sugou Nobiyuki) attempts to eliminate all the players (except Asuna) from the game, using a special blade that held an incurable "poison" that would slowly kill anyone who was injured by it. Protecting Kirito from getting hit, she slowly succumbs to the blade's poison until she surprisingly fuses with "Hollow Avatar" and disappears.

It is later revealed that Strea is actually a mental-health program, similar to Yui, who was somehow able to appear using an unused avatar that was still registered to Aincrad. However, the near-death experience had slowly altered her data and resulted in her fusion with "Hollow Avatar". Vowing to rescue her, Kirito and the group agrees to save Strea by reaching the 100th floor.

After defeating Hollow Avatar and the other mental-health programs, Strea will appear in a large monstrous form and attempt to eliminate the Assault team. Her defeat leads to the completion of Aincrad, and her temporary freedom. Strea will slowly disappear as her fusion with Hollow Avatar had revealed her true identity as a mental-health care program to the game, and led to her returning to her true form. At the last minute, Yui will absorb Strea's program and assure the rest of the group that she was still "alive".

Heathcliff (Kayaba Akihiko) shortly reappears to congratulate the group for making it all the way to the end, and explains that the cause of the glitch which resulted in his disappearance was partly due to Strea accumulating all the negative emotions from the players, which accidentally "overloaded" the game for a short brief time.
