Being part of the Heroes of Genesis as the current generation of Humanity's Zaynan Hero of Genesis makes her the leader of the Tenka-Goken, comprised of the five most powerful swordswomen of not only the Yamato Empire but also the entire world.

## Appearance

Hana is a considerably tall young woman with pale skin compared to the first snow-white snowflakes that fall in wintertime. She has the traditional fiery scarlet-red hair of the Flame Elemental Dragons of the Yamato Empire, cut at mid-length, with long bangs and two longer sections of hair on her sides that fall over her shoulders. The bottom ends of her hair fade into a cheery, light arctic blue color. She has light arctic blue eyes infused with several small star-shaped sparks of a fiery scarlet-red color (signifying her cross-bred heritage) with vertical-slit pupils and long eyelashes. Her lips are always painted with a fae-favored shade of fiery red.

Her most unique features are her sharpened mostly light arctic blue horns situated on the top of her head, with the curves of her horns covered with fiery scarlet-red lines (signifying the **Lines of Eternal Flames**). Her horns are covered in small ridges, and curve back in an s-shape. Unlike most Elemental Dragons, Hana sports neither the sharp fangs of her parents' race or the flame breath of her father. She is most often shown with a mysterious smile or a taunting smirk.

## Personality

Hana has been described by many students and even other Housewardens to have a regal aura that prevents unruly behavior or antics from occuring in her presence. She is shown to not act incredibly friendly in public but when veiled from the public's everencompassing eyes and prodding remarks, has shown herself to be fiery, passionate, high-energy, determined, confident, and courageous. As an explemenary war hero, Hana stands for everything that the Empire of Yamato expects out of it's heroes and even more. Around her family members, Hana has shown to be a quiet but understanding pillar of support for her relatives and usually she only acts in their best interest.

Born from a pureblooded couple of elemental dragons, Hana has shown herself to possess unnatural resistance to both extreme cold and extreme warmth, her parents denoting her enjoyment of both extreme climates as well as exotic foods. Her love for travel clashes with the often, laberous and constantly enduring restrictions put on her by the Empire of Yamato's upperclass society, something which she considers to be tortureous. Being as bold as she normally is, Hana has blasted past many of the social precedents and protocol in order to engage with her people, leading to her immense popularity to this day, as well as the local people's symbol of address towards her, nationally causing the local children to recognize her as a reliable older sibling-like figure and coming to idolize her in an almost worshipping-like sense.

Around Malleus, Lilia, Sebek, and Silver, Hana has shown herself to be an older sister-like figure that dotes quite heavily on them despite Hana and Lilia being almost the same age.

## Background

Hana was born in Briar Valley on one of her parents' trips to visit Hana's older brother Sōma and his wife Madeline along with their two infant children at the time Maka and Oliver. The Yukihira Dynasty, descended from the first pure-blooded Dragons are notoriously cautious about outsider-like marriages something which even Hana emulated early on in her childhood, as she grew up this behavior was rapidly discarded. Malleus reportably looked up to Hana when he was incredibly young and even modeled some of his signature spells after her offensive magical powers and techniques.

Due to her older brother marrying a member of the Draconia Dynasty, the pure-blooded elemental Dragons that inhabited the Empire of Yamato pushed forward a motion to make Hana the Crown Prince and Crown Jewel of the Empire, the future ruler instead of her older brother. Many of the politicians present in the Empire rejected that idea, as she was born on Briar Valley's soil and was considered unworthy to bear the signet, power, or position of Emperor. Hana and Sōma's grandparents, Jōichirō and Akari Yukihira were deeply insulted by the refusal, retaliating by refusing to allow any other mortals (or children of man as they called them) to be admitted into the Empire, forcing the hand of the politicians who had refused to allow the motion to pass.

She is stated to be the 5th most powerful wizard in the world and to the common people of the Yamato Empire, she is referred to only as the **Sage Princess** (セージプリンセス, *Sēji Purinsesu*?) out of respect and as a sign of her prestige as the 5th most powerful wizard in the entire world. The nobles as a sign of their undying loyalty to her, have assigned many monikers to Hana, most used of these monikers is **Heaven's Undying Dragon General** (天不滅の竜将, *Ten Fumetsu no Tatsumasa*?).

## Abilities & Powers

**Overall Abilities**: Current Vortigen Hero of Genesis---Hana is a powerful warrior and leads the legendary Tenka-Goken comprised of some of the current Heroes of Genesis (included among their numbers, the MC)---as a result of this, she is considered one of the most powerful warriors known to man. A title granted to her by the nobles is **Heaven's Undying Dragon General** (天不滅の竜将, *Ten Fumetsu no Tatsumasa*?), meaning that in some capacity and form, that she can control Qi, a different type of magic.

> Hana

* **Absolute Freezing**: As a half-Glacier Elemental Dragon that has elemental abilities virtually identical to her fullblooded relatives, Hana is capable of utilizing Absolute Freezing, which is the ability to freeze anything, from tangible targets to intangible energy such as fire, or concepts such as time, even a person's mind. Hana can drop the temperature to absolute zero, which is impossible by natural means, create quantum effects; due to freezing at such otherwise impossible levels, cause breakdowns at Conceptual levels and superconductivity occur but never beyond conceptual levels. Even the ability of Cold Immunity has no affect on this ability and thawing from this ice is more difficult, if not impossible. Given her age of 700+, an ordinary human wizard would find themselves helpless attempting escaping from this power.

## Relationships

### Ramshackle

#### Suzume Ōtsutsuki

Hana first meets Suzume in the aftermath of the War of Domination and took her in despite her lack of emotions. According to Hana, Suzume was so incapable of controlling her magic that upon being reborn into the world as the new Domination Hero of Genesis, she destroyed an entire village in a fit of rage.

Her relationship with Suzume is such a new experience with her, that she sometimes is even shown struggling on what to do with the knowledge of her true identity or background. To Hana, Suzume is a "breath of fresh air" something that is acknowledged as almost never happening in Hana's life. As one of her very first close allies and friends, Hana treats her relationship with the younger Ōtsutsuki heiress with a certain degree of cautiouseness, as a result of being unused to such a friendly relationship with somebody not in her close circle of allies or mentors.

She is quite fond of Suzume and considers them to be like her own flesh and blood, even teasingly calling them "little birdie" as a sign of her immense affection and sense of platonic love towards them. Even after learning her true identity in Book 5, Suzume never treated her like she was some kind of god, something that Hana deeply loved them for.

In Book 6, the strength behind Hana's relationship with the MC is explained to Malleus by Suzume herself as a result of seeing facades of her mortal friends inside Hana, wanting to originally cling to some semblance of home she latched heavily onto Hana but as their relationship developed, Suzume grew a longing to be real friends with Hana, instead of clinging onto the past. This relevation cumilated into the first major fight between Hana and Suzume, which was resolved through the knowledge that the Ōtsutsuki wanted to become genuine friends with her. After they resolved their differences, the two are shown to have become akin to older sister-younger sibling.

As of the beginning of Book 7, Suzume has claimed citizenship from the Yamato Empire, ascending to the Tenka-Goken, as the fifth most powerful swordswoman of the entire Yamato Empire. According to Hana who suspects that the Ōtsutsuki is a child soldier, she is highly trained and wields Juzumaru as recognition of her swordsmanship. Juzumaru was not originally one of the katana's wielded by members of the Tenka-Goken and was forged by Hana's personal swordsmiths as a replacement for Shadowsteel---the katana originally wielded by the fifth most powerful swordswoman of the Tenka-Goken---Shadowsteel having been lost in battle somewhere in the Shaftlands during the events of the cataclysm. At the time of the Ōtsutsuki's ascension to the Tenka-Goken, the threat that the remenants of the cataclysm had posed was mostly migated.

Due to this level of trust, Hana acknowledged the level of threat that Malleus presented during the precautionary warnings, pre-warning Hana against staying in the Isle of Sages. Abandoning Grim, the MC, and her mortal friends in order to retrieve Juzumaru from the Yamato Empire in addition to assembling a series of war plans with the rest of the Tenka-Goken to stop the threat that Malleus' overblot poses to the rest of the world.

#### MC (Main Game Storyline)

Meanwhile, Hana met the MC of the main storyline while visiting Malleus Draconia (her beloved younger brother-in-law) during his nightly walks near Ramshackle Dorm and just like her younger brother-in-law reveals neither her name or identity to them. Instead, she gives the MC a single chance to amuse her by giving her a novelty nickname, something that she considers a "delight" and a "joy" to be able to use in front of her courtiers. She is pleasently suprised when they pick the nickname of "Lily" for her and calls the MC, a "sweet adorable child" before blessing them with a falcon's feather infused with the source of her magic ("Aether").

### Heartslabyul

#### Riddle Rosehearts

As a blood-line descendant of the Queen of Hearts, Riddle is well-informed about the whereabouts of the original dynasty's members, due to his family having once served the Yukihira Dynasty in their peak of absolutisim.
