Himiko

Himiko [WIP] is a character in *Jujutsu Kaisen*. She currently resides in Kyoto Metropolitan Curse Technical College.

## Appearance

In her first life, Himiko was a relatively tall woman with long, waist-length black hair and sharp, golden eyes. She used to wear many accessories, which included a ceremonial golden diadem.

During her time as a queen, she usually wore a one-piece, wide-sleeved *kosode* under a vest and sash, as befitting a woman of her status.

After her resurrection, Himiko's appearance changed, although not too drastically. Her new body has short, neck-length black hair and violet eyes. Naturally, her attired changed as well. Himiko is now usually seen sporting a simple t-shirt and shorts under a loose, cream-coloured cardigan.

## Synopsis

### History

Himiko was born in the year 170 AD, during Japan's Yayoi Period. She was born into a time of war, when the many clans across Japan, then known as the Land of Wa, battled for control. Himiko's own clan, the Yamatai clan, was not very important in the war, seen by their stronger adversaries as nothing more than a push-over. That was soon to change when Himiko discovered her cursed technique. Blessed with an incredibly ability, Himiko rose to power within her clan, becoming the head at the age of 17. Then she began the arduous process of expanding the territories of her clan. Himiko's crusade continued for two years, until what were once hundreds of inter-warring clans were now just 30, all of which acknowledged and chose Himiko as their queen in the year 189 AD. Thus, the nation of Yamatai-koku was born.

Himiko's reign was one of peace and prosperity. She lived in a large estate, surrounded with armed guards and towers. She took a thousand handmaidens, but only one male attendant, who was her brother. Her brother handled affairs of state, whilst Himiko busied herself in keeping her nation secure and safe from threats, both from rival kingdoms and cursed spirits. This arrangement would continue for the next 59 years until Himiko's death in 248 AD. She was buried inside Hashihaka Kofun, followed by at least a hundred attendants, who would serve as guardians of her tomb.

### Resurrection

In January of the year 2018, a group of curse users attempted to resurrect Himiko using her remains found in Hashihaka Kofun, as well as a human sacrifice in the form of a 19 year old girl. While the curse users succeeded in resurrecting the ancient queen, they failed to control her after the binding ritual was interrupted by a student force from Kyoto Metropolitan Curse Technical College. The students managed to distract the curse users long enough for Himiko to completely break free of the bindings, after which she easily finished the curse users off.

As part of the mission, the sorcerers from Kyoto attempt to kill Himiko, however they are easily thwarted by the newly-reborn queen. Himiko spares them, and admits she is actually curious about this new world she has awakened in, expressing a desire to explore it rather than destroy it, as the Kyoto sorcerers were led to believe. After their leader, Utahime Iori, confirms Himiko's intentions to be peaceful, they take her back to the college for further evaluation. There, Himiko is classified as a special-grade, and put under strict watch.

## Abilities and Powers

**Overall Skill Level**: Because of Himiko's Innate Technique, she is a feared and respected sorcerer, in her first life and her current one.

**Genius Intellect**: The largest downside of Vector Manipulation's almost limitless potential is the extremely complicated calculations its user must solve to use it effectively. When manipulating a vector, Himiko must also take into account other vectors around her, to ensure she does not disturb them and cause an unwanted effect. These other variables include atmospheric pressure, gravity, and the Earth's magnetic field, among other things. As such, Himiko has developed a brilliant mathematical mind.

**Weapon Mastery**: Himiko is very adept at the use of weapons, or more specifically, her own weapon Amenonuhoko, a double-bladed naginata capable of breaking into a three section staff linked by a chain. Himiko can fight with Amenonuhoko very efficiently, and is able to incorporate her cursed technique into each of her strikes.

**Proficient Hand-to-Hand Combatant**: Himiko is a capable hand-to-hand combatant, and is able to hold her ground when unarmed. However, she greatly dislikes this form of combat, preferring to keep distance between her and her opponent.
