Subpages

## Appearance

Nozomi Sawada is a young girl with golden eyes and short brown hair, some of which is tied up with a ribbon. At school she wears the standard Namimori Middle School girls uniform, but with a tie instead of a ribbon, and shorts underneath her skirt.

## Personality

Nozomi is a tough, lively girl, who is determined to follow her dreams. She has a very strong sense of justice, so she does not hesitate to jump in to assist people who need help. Nozomi believes the reason for her existence is to inherit the Vongola, and that it would be a waste of her abilities to not use them to help people in need.

Nozomi experiences anxiety regarding being her true self due to her experiences with discrimination based on her gender. She stubbornly hides away feminine aspects of herself that brings her happiness, and has an inferiority complex regarding her father. As the story goes on, she learns to open up more to the world.

## Biography

Nozomi Sawada is the daughter of Tsunayoshi Sawada and Kyoko Sawada. Ever since she was young, her dreams have been about the past of her ancestor, and founder of the Vongola, Giotto. These dreams caused her to develop a desire to use the Vongola for good.

Nozomi has always been hungry for knowledge and loved all kinds of books. As a child, she would lock herself away in the Vongola library to read for hours on end. Her tendency to put more time into learning instead of socialising made her parents worry, and so they tried to urge her to enjoy her childhood by making friends and playing. Unfortunately, Nozomi misunderstood the meaning behind their disapproval, and began to be envious of their caring relationship with Arina, as they would praise her for the same things they scolded Nozomi for.

Eventually Nozomi befriended two children at school, her first friends not involved with the mafia; Claudio and Fabio. She continued to learn and read, but their friendship helped her enjoy herself and have fun the way a child should. Approximately 2 years later, after Nozomi's 8th birthday, Claudio was murdered, leaving Nozomi traumatised. Soon after the incident, she and Arina moved to Namimori, in order to help Nozomi move on and start a new life.

In Namimori, after losing her pet cat, Fortuna, Nozomi met and became friends with Arashi Fukada. As she grew up, she developed more of a tomboy-ish, reckless personality, and became more prone to getting into fights.

## Abilities

**Sky Flame/Hyper Intuition:** Like her Father and the past bosses of the Vongola Family, Nozomi has inherited both the Sky Flame and Hyper Intuition.

**Hyper Dying Will Mode:** Hyper Mode is a natural form to obtain as a descendant of Giotto, since the Sawada Bloodline has an innate ability to be able to manipulate their dying will flames to this extent.

**Sun Flame:** The flame of the sun, Nozomi's passive flame, allows her to heal from injuries once she gets some kind of rest. When her sun flame activates to heal her, it also speeds up the growth of her hair, causing it to grow to a very long length. It is said that she probably inherited this flame from her mother Kyoko, who is speculated to have it.

**Dreams:** As found out in Target 2 and showcased in Target 3 Nozomi has always had dreams of Vongola Primo, not much is known of this ability as not even Tsuna has been able to uncover the cause or reasons for them.

**Intelligence:** As a result of Nozomi's hunger for knowledge, and all the time she put into reading and learning, she is very intelligent; she always has perfect test scores, putting her as one of the top students in Japan. Even so, Nozomi doesn’t consider herself a genius and says that knowledge isn’t everything.

   **Hand To Hand Combat**: Nozomi began learning self-defense at the age of five, when Kyoko considered Tsuna to allow her to learn. Over the years, Nozomi has used her skills in hand to hand combat to fight, or beat up, bullies and any other thug she comes across. However, Nozomi admits that her punches are weak and she requires a weapon.

## Equipment

**Sky Rod:** After Target 19, Nozomi has finally gained her weapon; the Sky Rod, created by Arashi's brother, Masato Fukada. The Sky Rod is a staff with attachable spear heads at either end. Nozomi is able to take the weapon apart, and assemble it again when required.
