History[]
New Generation[]
During an office job, Natsumi Miwa is refused a promotion by her boss and resigns. Later, while out walking, Natsumi is attacked by the Peacock Undead. Meanwhile, a mysterious figure watches the assault and starts to approach her. Later Shin Magaki bumps into a fleeing Natsumi, and both start running from the Undead. Natsumi and Shin continue running from the Undead.
Natsumi finds a steel pipe and tries to get Shin to cover her escape claiming that men are supposed to protect women. This fails and the Undead continues chasing them until an explosion destroys it. The mysterious figure approaches them, no longer hiding and throws them both Change Kerberos Rouse Cards. He then returns back to human form.
Junichi offers them both to be Kamen Riders. He also explains that the incident with the Undead ended once, but the power of the Kamen Riders is needed again. Natsumi and Shin refuse and give back the cards. Junichi says to himself that they will return, and that it is their fate is to become Riders. Behind Junichi is Kazuma Kenzaki, who becomes a garbageman. Natsumi and Shin walk away, with images of their Rider forms being shown.

Natsumi's death

Her weapon is based on the Garren Rouser and the Chalice Arrow. Her primary finisher is Ray Bullet, a supercharged energy arrow. Upon Kenzaki and Mutsuki regaining their respective belts as Blade and Leangle, Miwa and Magaki have grown jealous against them. Attempting to gain more power, obtains the King Category Club card from the dying Shin Magaki, and later she steals the remaining King Category cards from Junichi, until she was killed by the Albino Joker, who is actually Junichi Shimura in shadow, leaving the Four card in her hand.
After his death. Kotaro reveals to everyone that Junichi himself is the Albino Joker as both of his victims Natsumi and Shin hold the cards 4 and Jack (both of which are a pun of his name (i.e. "Jack" and "Shi")).

Notes[]
- Natsumi is the second official female Rider in the Kamen Rider Franchise.
- Larc suffered the same fate as her Female Rider predecessors and died (Tackle & Femme, although Tackle's status as rider is debatable).
- Ironically, her counterpart in Kamen Rider Decade, Haruka Miwa, survives the events of the World of Diend two-parter, in fact, all three of the New Generation Riders in Decade survive while the originals in Missing Ace all died.
- Larc suffered the same fate as her Female Rider predecessors and died (Tackle & Femme, although Tackle's status as rider is debatable).
- Larc's color scheme and use of a long-range weapon make her analogous to Garren, whereas Lance is analogous to Leangle and Glaive is analogous to Blade.
- Sometimes, Natsumi's Rider alias is spelled as Lark (due to the kana used) or L'arc (due to her name coming from a French term).
- "L'Arc" is French for "the bow".
- New Generation Riders is the first movie trio Riders in the Heisei Era, followed by Kabutick Riders from Kamen Rider Kabuto. This is subsequently followed by the Dark Necrom riders from Kamen Rider Ghost and Quartzer from Kamen Rider Zi-O.
- Kamen Rider Double in the (right side) and Kamen Rider OOO , the Gaia Memories and Core medals that both uses are the same color to the three New Generation Riders.
- Double (right side) uses the Gaia memories Cyclone Heat and Luna.
- OOO in his Tatoba Combo uses the medals Taka, Tora and Batta.
