**Hikari Zhang** is a recurring character on *Teen Wolf: The Movie*. She is a Kitsune that owns a Ramen Shop in Japan with her cousin Paxton Yoshida and is in a romantic relationship with Beta Werewolf Liam Dunbar as well as one of the protections of the jar containing the Nogitsune.

## Personality

During her only appearance in the Teen Wolf Movie, Hikari demonstrated herself as a brave and compassionate woman who was willing to fight and do whatever was necessary to keep her loved ones safe, similar to the Kitsune who came before her, Kira Yukimura. She demonstrated incredible knowledge of her species as shown when she described the Nogitsune as an ancient creature who was "practically elemental" and was quite aware of the danger the Void represented to the world, with her trying to protect at all costs the urn containing the dark spirit. Her intelligence and Kitsune spirit eventually became the major factors that allowed the McCall Pack to outsmart the Dark Kitsune as she managed to transfer her fox spirit to Scott, protecting him from the arrows Allison shot at his chest.

## Physical Appearance

Hikari is an attractive Japanese woman in her mid-early twenties, with long black hair, dark brown eyes and very pale skin. Her attire leans towards leather jackets, cashmere sweaters, skinny jeans and combat boots.

## Powers and Abilities

Hikari possesses the common abilities of a Kitsune, though she may have specific powers that were not yet demonstrated on-screen:

* **Super Strength**: Hikari possesses superhuman strength, though the strength of most Kitsune is still inferior to that of average werecreatures unless they are especially old and/or powerful.
* **Super Speed:** As a Kitsune, Hikari can run at speeds faster than even the finest human athlete. They are among the fastest creatures in the *Teen Wolf* universe; at full speed, they can run faster than most Alpha Werewolves, though they are not as fast as a Demon Wolf or as a Hellhound.
* **Super Agility:** As a Kitsune, Hikari is preternaturally agile, and can quickly dodge attacks, perform a wide variety of gymnastic and acrobatic feats, and slice arrows in half in mid-air with her katana.
* **Accelerated Healing**: Hikari possesses an enhanced regenerative healing ability that gives them immunity from any human illness or condition. It also allows them to heal from minor to moderate wounds in moments, and even severe injuries, such as being stabbed in the heart, can be fully healed within hours.
	+ **Longevity**: As a Kitsune and a very long-lived creature, Hikari will be able to live for many centuries as a result of her advanced healing powers, which keeps them from dying due to most natural causes and slows their aging down tremendously.
* **Shapeshifting:** As a Kitsune, Hikari can make her eyes glow an orange color when she is actively accessing her supernatural powers. It is possible that, with time, wisdom, training, and/or additional tails, she can learn to change her form even more than this, as Kitsune have been referred to as "shapeshifters" on several occasions, and Kitsune who are not part-human, such as Kira Yukimura, gain the ability to take a human form upon reaching 100 years of age, which suggests that they are born into a non-human form.
* **Intuitive Combat and Weaponry Aptitude**: As a Kitsune, Hikari possesses an innate ability to engage in any form of combat with a high level of skill through her own intuition and muscle memory alone, both with and without weapons.
* **Aura Manipulation**: Hikari has a flaming fox aura around her and she appears to have enough age and experience to conceal her aura from supernatural eyes or make them visible to even human eyes. Through her aura, she was able to incinerate an arrow Allison Argent had shot at Derek Hale to save his life. Moments before the final battle against the Nogitsune, she was able to transfer off-screen her aura to Scott, which protected him from dying from three arrows to his chest fired by Allison. The aura incinerated the arrows and healed Scott's apparent wounds.

## Name
