Hikari Kamino

## Image Gallery

**Hikari Kamino**, originally known as **Elva Fuar Kamino**, is a member of King Yuni's elite guard, as well as one of the two strongest users of Light Powers.

## Background

The only child of Akichi and Athair, “Elva” was born on the remote island dominated by the couple, raised there as part of their small faction of fighters and hunters. With a relatively unremarkable early life where the girl was raised and trained by her parents, Elva grew and acquired various skills from both her parents: Light Powers and an intrinsic connection to the Angel Ryu from her mother, Removal and various combat techniques and styles from her father. She was taught to live in the wild, in highly populated places and simply at home, given all the essential skills that her parents assumed she may find need for in the coming years.

Eventually though, Elva would go off on her own, traveling away from the isolated island and moving to the mainland. There, the girl would go on to meet the forces of King Yuni and, over the following decade, worked under the tyrant, eventually ending up as one of his most trusted and skillful Royal Guards, mainly thanks to Ryu’s decisions. Even if she didn’t want to be there.

## Personality

Friendly, compassionate and generally aloof, but more than willing to be witty or sarcastic, Hikari is a tender woman and one who greatly contrasts her peers; especially her employer, Yuni himself. She's willing to go out of her way to help those that she feels deserve her help, even going so far as to detest the instructions and schemes of the Royal Family if it means those she cares for are able to be free from the King's tyranny. She can grow easily attached to others, also being quickly tripped up and made sheepish by nudges toward this quickly-growing affection.

Despite her working under Yuni, she entirely distrusts and disagrees with the King's ideals, having learnt more and more of him over her near-decade of working under him. If given a strong enough opportunity, she would happily depart from his service.

## Synopsis

### Pre-series

Elva arrives at the mainland of the United States, is taken in by Yuni's forces and assimilated into his armada. Over the next ten years, Elva worked to have more ability and authority, eventually rising the ranks until she was considered strong, fast and tough enough, as well as especially loyal enough, to be promoted to a Royal Guardsman. She also trained the King's Daughters to better use Light Powers in this time. In this time, she is also given the nickname "**Hikari**", which later becomes her taken name.

Hikari has three minor appearances throughout the ending of Season 1 of DBNG. First, she appears briefly in the opening, showing up behind Jaden amongst the other users of Light Powers. It's hard to see her in this instance due to her hair blending into the background however.

Second, Hikari is briefly seen during Biocent's training montage in Episode 10. As Yuni explains how, despite their best efforts, the royal family couldn't get Biocent back to his full power, Hikari is seen in the background in an arm-wrestling match with Biocent. After a brief moment of struggle, she loses. She isn't seen again for the rest of the episode.

Hikari's last appearance in Yin and Yang comes in Episode 11's climax, where she, along with Epsilon, fights Rose in a training session. Hikari briefly clashes with Rose in close-quarters before Epsilon butts in and is promptly thrown away. Hikari recovers, goes to clash with Rose a second time but is quickly stricken with a heavy blow to the jaw, followed by a feint which ended their fight. Hikari is then seen carrying an injured Epsilon out of shot on her back.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities**: Hikari is much like her parents — surprisingly athletic and agile like her mother, whilst being devastatingly strong and durable like her father. Despite her generally meagre appearance and attitude towards fighting, Hikari is one of the stronger and faster characters in DBNG, be it in her base form or when transformed. This physicality, paired with Hikari's own work to further practise and hone herself after leaving her mother's tutelage, led to Hikari becoming a Royal Guardsman for Yuni, as well as her later helping train Rose, both generally and with Light.

Despite these facts, there is one key thing holding Hikari back: her own unwillingness to go all-out. Frequently restraining herself via various means to avoid harming her friends or loved ones too severely whilst fighting, Hikari actively impedes her own capabilities when sparring and even in some less crucial battles. If she feels comfortable trying all out, like she does when fighting fellow Light Form user 10, she does so to great effectiveness.

### Light Powers

Hikari is one of several characters in DBNG to have access to Light Powers. Similarly to 10, Hikari has a high standard of mastery, far surpassing most others in using Light, with her abilities being so advanced that she, also like 10, can manifest a unique transformation thanks to them. Hikari's abilities and experience with Light mostly come from training with her mother, of whom she inherited her ability to use Light in the first place in a rare case of inheriting it through parentage.

* **Regeneration**: Hikari has a similar regeneration factor to the Periculo (i.e Biocent and Abcell), though not as strong. Thanks to it, not only is Hikari able to recover from various grievous injuries like lost limbs or damaged organs, but she is also virtually immortal from aging and various diseases, her body repairing itself faster than it could decay.

* **Light Hand**: Hikari can cover her arm in a sleeve of Light which improves her attack power temporarily.
* **Light Blast**: Hikari can fire off a blast, bolt or beam of Light with lots of variety in how it’s used.
	+ **Light Scatterbolt**: Hikari can disperse a bolt into six, diverting power between them in exchange for spread.
* **Light Bash**: Hikari can shove an orb of condensed Light at a target, making it detonate on impact to create an explosion. Hikari can affect the density of the orb, making it explode more aggressively.
* **Light Construct**: By condensing Light, Hikari can make structures and shapes out of her Light and use it for short-range purposes.
	+ **Light Shield**: Like 10, Hikari can make a shield or wall out of her Light, making a barrier to protect herself.
* **Elemental Manipulation**: Thanks to how Light Powers work, being made of numerous other energies, Hikari can manipulate various elements like fire and lightning. These are coloured pure white uniquely.
* **Gold Coruscation**: Hikari can manifest a “domain” out of her Light, like Jaden’s Light Void and Black Hole in both design and principle. Hikari can manipulate the Light of the domain to her whims, as well as use it to amplify herself or degrade others’ powers. She mainly uses it to stun her opponents for easier follow ups.
* **Heavenly Vassals/Summons**: By making advanced constructs of Light that take human forms, Hikari can create controlled or autonomous minions that can follow her orders or fight on their own. While weak by themselves, Hikari can create a number of these minions and, in doing so, create a swarm of smaller but noticeable threats.
* **Placeholder Body**: Instead of having Ryu take control of her body, Hikari can give the once Angel a body separate from herself. This body is notably weaker than Hikari herself though gives full autonomy to Ryu, allowing them to use their abilities on their own accord and have complete control of their own body.
* **Lightspeed**: Hikari can warp her body into light to travel as light, allowing her to move at, aptly, lightspeed. This can be very exhausting for Hikari to use, though it allows her to move at speeds that would be otherwise impossible, allowing unnaturally fast attacks or reflexes.

## Transformations

### Removal

The state Hikari got from her father, which releases the subconscious limitations on her body to allow her to fight with more power. In Hikari’s case, Removal allows her to use 92% of her full power at all times, letting her put up more of a fight against either more powerful or more plentiful opponents.

### Divine Expiry

A transformation Hikari has thanks to her special bond to Ryu, which she can either consciously enter or be forced to while Ryu takes control, Divine Expiry is virtually the same thing as 10’s Angel Thesis — both are Light Powers-exclusive forms with origins drawn from Angels, both are roughly equal in terms of power and allow them to stand up against Biocent, and both grant their users halos which give them eternal life and the entirety of their powers. Despite this, there are differences.

* **Halos of Light**: **As said previously Hikari has access to a similar halo as 10’s, though additionally has a larger halo behind her back which is inherited from Ryu. The former halo serves the same purpose as 10’s halo, granting her an additional layer to her semi-immortality, while the latter is a kind of inventory space that Hikari can place anything into for later access. This halo can be summoned out of the form, though is always present with it active.**

## Fighting Styles

**Taekwondo**: Hikari's original fighting style, taught to her by her father. Using her strong legs, Hikari can deliver a number of powerful hits in quick succession with devastating kicking power. Though powerful and a good offence tool for the woman, Hikari relies less on Taekwondo than she used to — predominantly due to Light Powers and its own fruits of combat.

**Wing-Chun**: Where a vast majority of Hikari's more defensive tactics come from. Though used less often than either other option, Hikari can and has used Wing-Chun in the past, mainly for the beginning of conflicts with newer fighters to give her time to adjust without exchanging blows from the get-go.

**Heavenly Guard**: A fighting style invented by the Angels long before their interaction with Akichi; Heavenly Guard employs a varied and vicious combination of numerous striking techniques to create a destructive and near-defenceless flurry of hits and movements. Heavenly Guard differs from user to user, with Hikari herself prioritising using her strong legs over any arm strikes, unlike Akichi or 10 who use punches and tiger claws respectively. Hikari herself has functionally "mastered" her use of Heavenly Guard, wielding it to a much higher standard than the likes of 10 or other such users.

### Weapons

**Solais**: **Hikari’s trusty sword that she can summon from the previously mentioned halo. Thanks to its blade being made of light, it lets her cut through effectively anything not reinforced with some kind of energy. Even then, it helps with attacking those who can use these energies through the burning heat of the Light.**

**General Swordsmanship**: **Hikari picked up larger blades (i.e broadswords, katanas, greatswords etc) from her father, somebody who used to specialize with them. Having a mastery over these due to her extended training alongside her father, Hikari’s adeptness with blades has become a trademark of hers; so much so that Solais was formed through her Light, pairing perfectly with her style.**

**Knives & Daggers**: **Hikari picked up smaller blades (i.e knives or kunai) from her mother, who used those same weapons to earn her fame in her past life. Although Hikari isn’t up to par with the likes of 10 or Epsilon at such weapons, Hikari is still a natural and can hold her own, mainly using these small arms for defensive styles rather than offensive ones.**

## Trivia

* Hikari's name is an anagram for "God of light" in Japanese (光の神 *Hikari no kami*)
	+ This has a mix of significances: Originally it was just a name I(dyl) chose randomly, but as Hikari became a Light Powers user, it became more symbolic of her use of a God's Light: thus, she is a "God of Light".
* Hikari has the biggest breasts in DBNG, tied with Epsilon.
* Hikari is in a love triangle with 10 and Jaden. She loves both.
	+ Evidently this makes Hikari bisexual.
* Hikari is 5'9 (175.2 cm/1.75 m), making her one of the shortest characters in DBNG.
	+ She is still, somehow, taller than her mother.
* Hikari's favourite foods are meats and breads, and her favourite drinks are squashes.
* Hikari has an uncanny amount of Treachery tournament merchandise spread throughout her bedroom at Yuni's castle and at her personal home. This is mostly Jaden and Maizen merchandise.
	+ Most importantly amongst which is a plushie Jaden, which Hikari frequently wanders around with and uses as a stress toy. Why it is specifically *Jaden* isn't clear, as she owned the plush well before meeting the Hybrid face-to-face.
* Hikari is autistic. Just like me, Fr, Fr.
