## History

### Background

Hakua Shirakami was Akari's best friend while they were in Japan. Their time together isn't revealed in detail, but they were apparently shunned by the other students. Hakua was summoned from Japan by the Ancient Civilization so that the people could control the Lost One's pure concepts. Following the cruel experiments, the original five otherworlders turned on the civilization, attempting to return home and decimating the world. When they all learned that there was only enough material for one person to return, they began fighting one another. Through the pure concept of *Star*, Hakua learned that Akari would be summoned from Japan a thousand years later. Hakua, using her pure concept of *Ivory*, killed the users of *Dragon* and *Star*. She also sealed away the users of *Evil/Chaos* and *Vessel*.

Afterwards, Hakua took her place as the Lord of the Faust. Along with the four elders, she founded and controls the caste system to keep all groups at odds with each other so they can't unite against her. She employs the executioners to kill all other Lost Ones that arrive in the world, so that none could threaten her. Hakua then retired to the Memory Star and waited a thousand years for her best friend Akari to arrive.

### Reemergence

Following the destruction of the Holy Land, Manon Libelle sneaked into the Memory Star, searching for Pandæmonium's memory scripture. Instead, she found Hakua, who seemed mildly surprised to see her. Although Hakua showed her the scripture, she also destroyed Manon's shadow, which contained her soul. With the intruder now dead, Hakua decided she had waited long enough and left the Memory Star.

In the ruins of the Holy Land, Hakua ran into Elder Elcami. Elcami angrily began berating Hakua, resenting the fact that their entire world revolved around her. Annoyed, Hakua forcefully reset the elder's memories and continued on. Hakua then went through the Dragon Gate and came face-to-face with Akari. Having used her powers too much, Akari did not remember her and thought she looked like Menou. Although she resisted, Hakua then erased Akari's remaining memories, turning her into a Human Error. Time then used *World Suspension*, freezing everything.

Following Menou stabbing Akari with the end of the Sword of Salt, Time suspended time on Akari's body to stop from turning to salt. The world then resumed and Hakua arrived on the scene. Hakua then revealed that Menou was a person made from Guiding Force by Orwell, and that Hakua was Akari's real best friend. She explains that while there is only enough material in the world to return one person back to Japan, there was a loophole. If Hakua could possess Menou's body and have both Hakua and Akari's memories in her, then they both could return.

A brief battle ensued, but with control of all Pure Concepts Menou was no match. Just when it seemed that Menou was going to be possessed, Flare shockingly stabbed Hakua through the heart. Flare knew Hakua was immortal, and the Lost One demanded to know what the Executioner was doing. Flare didn't give a clear answer, and then proceeded to use Menou as a meat shield to prevent being killed. In the chaos, Flare's leg was blasted off and the executioner destroyed her scripture by sending a large flare high into the sky. This signaled a military satellite in orbit left over from the Ancient Civilization. Flare then escaped with Akari's body, leaving Hakua behind. The satellite then fired it's payload onto the Continent of Salt. This resulted in the destruction of Hakua's body, but as her soul is immortal she will return.
