Hana Sasorijou

**Hana Sasorijou**「ハナ・サソリジョウ?」is a student of Royal Diana Academy assigned to Pandora's Box, the coven Claude Sirius teaches.

## Appearance

Hana is a short girl with shoulder-length black hair with a slight tint of maroon. She also has a braid running from the sides to the back of her hair. Her eyes are dark brown.

During school, Hana wears a standard Royal Diana Academy school uniform with a Scorpio badge on the left side of her chest.

Her casual clothes consist of a black button-up shirt with a white collar and buttons. She also wears a knee-length black skirt with a belt around her waist. Underneath, Hana wears dark tights.

Hana's wand is black with a layered pattern at its base resembling a scorpion's tail.

## Personality

Hana appears like a very cold and distant person with a dark look on her face. Her scary appearance is only amplified by her aesthetics and hobbies, like decorating her room with skulls & magic circles, and conducting research on potions requiring ingredients from animals like claws. Even early on she shows a softer side though, like quietly apologizing to animals she had to paralyze for a lesson.

As a child, Hana accidentally hurt another kid with minor use of magic and was called a monster for doing so, since magic is not well understood where Hana is from. This not only made Hana realize how dangerous her magic can be, but also traumatized her immensly. She started to distance herself from other people in fear of accidentally hurting someone again, eventually rejecting any kind of affection and retaliating with rude comments.

However, deep down she longs for friends and affection. After Spica gave her the confidence to control her poison powers, Hana slowly started to open up and even went on trips to the city with Spica and her friend group. Due to isolating herself for such a long time, Hana is extremely awkward in social situations though. She is anxious the whole time, wondering if she stands out, is letting conversations die too quickly, is too boring, etc. At the end of the day, she still enjoys the time with her friends though and is thankful for being invited. Her sharp tongue still remains, but in a more sarcastic way than outright rude.

If someone shows her a lot of affection, Hana tends to get overly attached and protective, even going as far as threatening to poison anyone who dares to lay a finger on that person.

## Abilities

#### **Scorpio Magic**

(蠍座魔法スコルピオン・マジック *Sukorupion Majikku*)

Scorpio Magic is associated with the attribute of poison. Hana is able to create all sorts of poisons, including paralyzing ones to incapacitate animals, and even corrosive ones that can melt through fabric. She can also protect herself with poison and use it form various shapes like stingers and entire scorpions.

Hana can also use her magic passively by surrounding herself with poison. This protects her from wild and dangerous animals since most of them instinctively avoid poison.

Her magic also makes Hana resistant to poison. Her own magic cannot harm her, and she can eat poisonous food without consequences.

* **Fog Scorpion** (キリサソリ *Kirisasori*): Hana covers her surroundings with poisonous fog, paralyzing those within its radius. The fog spreads quickly, giving even nimble creatures no time to escape.
* **Red Stinger: Poison Injection** (赤鉤毒絶セキコウドクゼツ *Sekikou Dokuzetsu*): Hana creates a dark venomous liquid and forms it into the shape of a scorpion. The scorpion will then sting her target, injecting the poison.
* **Poison Rain** (毒どくノ雨あめ *Doku no Ame*): Hana creates a large amount of liquid poison and blasts it high in the air, causing big drops of poison to rain down on her surroundings. The poison is strong enough to defeat a swarm of giant insects and seems to have corrosive properties as well, since it easily melted through part of Spica's cloak.
* **Octuple Scorpion** (八重やえサソリ *Yae Sasori*): Hana creates eight large stingers in a circle around herself. The stingers automatically detect and attack anything approaching Hana, injecting a strong poison. The spell provides 360° protection, but consumes a lot of magic power and also attacks allies if they get too close.
* **Emperor Scorpion** (大王だいおうサソリ *Daiou Sasori*): Hana gathers all of her magic power to summon a large amount of dark poison and form it into the shape of a huge scorpion, several times her sizes. She describes it as her strongest spell.

#### **Cross Magic**

(クロス・マジック *Kurosu Majikku*)

Cross Magic allows users of two different Zodiac signs to combine their powers, forming a synergy.

* **Efflorescent Equinox** (百華彼岸ひゃっかひがん *Hyakka Higan*): A Cross Magic spell with Spica's Virgo Magic. Hana synthesizes her poison into a plant seed Spica created. They then throw the synthesized seed onto a target, causing the seed to latch on and bloom into a poisonous lily orchid which continously poisons their target. Spica then uses her "Anima" to increase the amount of these flowers and rapidly spread poison through the target's body, eventually knocking them out.

#### **Potion Synthesis**

Hana is able to create various potions, including a mild asphrodiac. Her potions often require ingredients from animals, like claws from a cat. She spends a lot of time studying this topic.
