She does not have much interaction with Alita in the manga, but instead helps other young characters, such as Yoko and Erica.
Alita: Battle Angel is the next manga set to get the live-action treatment, and in a premise that is slightly similar to Ghost in the Shell, will follow the titular young female hero Alita (played by Rosa Salazar).
Meanwhile, 20th Century Fox is not waiting to see how well Ghost in the Shell does to get a jump on the next potential franchise.
The movie is set to be a high-budget, CGI heavy adaptation, which makes sense with James Cameron being attached as a producer.
