Himawari Kazami

Himawari Kazami is the major Antagonist of Brambly Boundaries (Monument 14). Himawari formed the Black Knights after her Husband's mysterious death upon learning more about Sathariel with the intention of using Sathariel's discovery to revive her husband.

She funds the Black Knights and other ventures from her patented Hydroponics discoveries now being used worldwide to solve farming issues and advance agriculture in space travel.

## Appearance

Himawari is 190cm tall with short cut green hair and red eyes, not unlike Lina's as well as a matured yet attractive body. Miss Kazami has been seen in many different outfits such as formal dress and her laboratory PPE but she favours her dress of a long red tartan skirt with an open waistcoat of the same design thrown over a white dress shirt and a yellow bow around a high collar. She often also wears boots owing it to her hobby of gardening and carries a frilly white Umbrella that sees more use as a parasol than as an Umbrella.

## Personality

Himawari is an incredibly smart woman who masks her intelligence and intentions through a veil of ignorance delivered with polite friendliness. Himawari has been shown to foresee events such as ambushes or assassination attempts with incredible accuracy due to research and deductions on her part. She rarely ever drops her polite demeanour except in situations where she shows great animosity towards people such as against the Blackout squad in Chapter 20.

Before her Husband's death, Himawari was a reserved woman who had great trouble communicating with other people, often leading them to think that she was cold, disgusted or scary. Himawari found pleasure in things and people she considered to be cute, including her spouse whom she took up baking for to see him smile whilst eating her food. Gardening was an incredibly absorbing past time for Himawari, so much so that her power and occupation both revolve around plant life.

After her Husband's death, Himawari decided that she'd adopt the faux personality of the polite and amicable socialite in order to disarm people. She likened her personality shift to an Orchid Mantis, *"The Orchid Mantis looks like an Orchid, an attractive, pale flower. Others, mostly bugs, think that it is an Orchid. After all, it looks like one, acts like one, why shouldn't it be? But it is not an Orchid, Orchids don't eat living creatures, Orchids don't kill and they don't deceive. I am not an Orchid."* .

## Castle of Roses and Thorns

Castle of Roses and Thorns or CORAT is a naturally occurring Contract which has no real physical form it can manifest as.

CORAT's ability allows Himawari to fully control plant life, even manipulating it to supernatural degrees by affecting its morphology, speed, liveliness or even features to an unnatural degree.

Castle of Roses and Thorns requires line of sight yet for Himawari to manipulate the plants under her thrall yet she has shown some ability to ambiently influence plant life that is either too far from her or out of her sight such as having the flowers and vines throughout Monument XIV grow at a fast rate even when she has her back turned to them or they are physically blocked from sight. However, no degree of supernatural control seems to be possible to these unseen plants.
