**Mumei** (無(む)名(めい), *Mumei*?) whose real name is **Hozumi** (穂(ほ)積(づみ), *Hozumi*?), is a main character in the fan-made series **Universal Warriors**, and the main protagonist of **Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress** by **Hiroyuki Sawano Series**.

A mysterious and anonymous girl whom later reveals herself to be a **Kabaneri**. She is the adoptive younger sister of **Biba Amatori**, leader of the Hunters.

Upon visiting Aragane Station, she meets **Ikoma**, a fellow Kabaneri and the two board the Koutetsujou where they proved their allegiance towards Princess **Ayame Yomogawa** and began their journey towards Kongoukaku.

## Personality

Mumei generally acts much like a child and can sometimes be seen playing with toys. Even when fighting Kabane, Mumei treats any situation as though it is a game. Despite her apparent immaturity, she understands her strength as a means to protect others.

Although she is rather detached and even ill-mannered towards others, she appears to take interest in Ikoma. Mumei appears to have a soft spot for children as well.

Mumei may also give a sense of terror or eeriness when it comes to small situations that doesn't seem too important to her, which may be a factor from her past, like when she tells the family that it was supposedly good that they lost their dog to the Kabane, or when she asked one of the women at the time of fix up and prayers at the Koutetsujou for their blood like it was nothing to her, but was obviously a somewhat threat to them.

She also tends to express or state quotes that her "brother" may have expressed when she was younger, like "May karma smile upon him/her".

## Character Design

Mumei is a girl with short brown hair and reddish-brown eyes. She wears an indigo ribbon tied tightly around her neck, which suppresses the Kabane virus. Removing the ribbon enables her to access her Kabaneri abilities fully.

Her back is home to a large scar. When active, the scar glows a fiery yellow, in the same way that a Kabane's body glows.

## Abilities and Equipment

### Powers and Abilities

Mumei is a Kabaneri, which grants her superhuman abilities. She is fast and nimble enough to leap across rooftops, and strong enough to fight Kabane in hand-to-hand combat. She first displays the full extent of her abilities when she single-handedly kills several Kabane with limited ammunition and melee prowess, during a time in which fully killing Kabane was thought to be near-impossible.

* **Enhanced Strength**: She was able to singlehandedly sever the head of the Kabane, and is capable of knocking down a fully grown man, as well as Ikoma.

* **Enhanced Speed**: By removing her "limiter", Mumei's speed is enhanced to superhuman level. She was able to tear through a horde that attacked the Aragane Station and quickly ambush and kill the Kabane infesting the top of the locomotive.

* **Enhanced Reflexes**: As a Kabaneri, Mumei's reflexes are also evidently increased. Mumei is capable of dodging and parring many attacks thrown at her, despite her appearance.

* **Enhanced Senses**: Mumei has keen senses that are superior to those of humans. She was the first one to notice the change in Ikoma only by smelling him, and is also able to sense the turning Kabane from a long distance.

Mumei is most powerful when she releases her restraint, in the form of a pastel purple ribbon around her neck. However, after fighting without her restraint for long periods of time, she becomes extremely tired and falling asleep right away. Also, her hunger for blood also grows.

## Story

### Original

Hozumi was born in Hinomoto, originally she resided in a station and was raised by her loving mother whom gave Hozumi's name as she wished to feed her daughter as much rice as she wanted; an impossiblity as, to her knowledge, all the rice paddies were lost to the Kabane outbreak. As a child, Hozumi often watched alongside her mother when people died, butterflies surrounded their corpses, where her mother told her that the butterflies would help guide their souls into the afterlife.
