Hanaka Himeri

Hanaka is a supporting character of the *Warped Eternity: Living Destruction's Abyssal Remnants* and is one of the wives of Rokihiko Aoki. She dies during the Third Part, the Grounds of the Hidden Realms of the Warped Eternity series to one of the corrupted gods of the Warped Domain's Lords, Sasaki Akiyama while attempting to mix different poisons and gaining information about the glass shards of the Warped Domain's Lords. She is one of the kunoichi of the series, and is a user of the Poisonous Nectar Style. She is also the younger sister of Mushihime Hiori, who she was separated from at a young age and is trying to avenge her sister's deception and manipulation at the hands of Sasaki Akiyama.

## Personality

Hanaka is known as a kunoichi of sharp wit and a sound mind, in contrasting to her other fellow kunoichi wives. She is always strategic and analytical in her approaches, always being calculating like Natsu Anchali. However, she is known to be more serious than him as she often is frustrated by Natsu's nonchalance. She is very serious about her work, and never loses her resolve to find strategies to make sure the end results are what they wanted. She is always calm and collected, seemingly never losing her patience even when dealing with the antics of Kazuo Yasahana and Ryuga Chisaka.

Hanaka also possesses an inferiority complex due to her high judgement and expectations which has obviously led to a huge lack of self-confidence. She feels inferior to her fellow wives and the warriors of the Knights of the Crystal Rose due to the fact they developed stronger bodies than her and how she was forced to rely on thrusting, stabbing, and piercing Dolls due to her muscle mass not being enough at cases to decapitate them. She feels guilty and remorseful for not possessing enough muscle mass to defeat a Doll in one swing of her weapons. This inferiority complex pushes her often to overwork herself to tremendous levels even if it meant pushing her limits and exhausting herself too much. This often pushes her to become overworking, hardworking, and overly diligent with her tasks and duties. She always feels like her contributions are never enough due to her perceived inferiority to the other clans, warriors, and her fellow wives. Due to her disciplined nature, she also became incredibly dutiful towards her jobs as one of the main pillars of the Knights of the Crystal Rose as the Supreme of White Nectar.

Hanaka also put a heavy emphasis on rules, as she sees them as one of the ways that an organization could be successful in reaching their goals. She is rather rule-following and is always punctual, expecting to set an example tor others and believing rules are a key aspect to an organization's success. This was evident by her heavy disdain and embarassment over the likes of Kaoru Yuragami's flashiness, alongside the disobedience and rebelliousness of Ryuga Chisaka and Kazuo Yasahana alongside the boldness of Naree Suwan. She also shows heavy amount of disdain towards reckless people or those who seek fights for pleasure, even completely avoiding to speak with them in a similar manner to Kazuo Yasahana. Despite this, she does have some camaderie towards her fellow warriors at the Knights of Crystal Rose. This was evident by her horror and concerns about the amount of deaths that occured during the Sanje Realm's Entrance Arc and her desire to aid in eradicating Daiki due to losing much of her comrades. Many of her comrades consider her to be quite aloof but nonetheless, very caring towards the organization and humanity as she always works to eradicate the creatures of the Warped Domain's Lords, due to the harm they cause to humans.

Hanaka also is very bold and strong-willed. Even after noticing her small arms and her inability to swing or slash the bones of the Dolls too efficiently, she was still able to force herself to fight alongside her comrades due to her indomitable will. Her boldness is seen by her bold words towards everyone she meets, including the noble warlords and the nobles themselves. This boldness is due to her commitment to standing up for her code of honor and righteousness, and she is truly fearless of other's judgements.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities:** Hanaka doesn't possess that much combat-experience as she only joined the Defenders of the Light five months prior to the main story. Despite not possessing enough natural strength to slice too much of the bones of the creatures, particularly the Dolls and the Luntao, she possesses more than enough skills to make up for it by injecting and forcefully thrusting her Snakeroot-laced kunai which has dozens of White Snakeroot onto it. As such, she has one of the strongest thrusting power as she mainly relies on piercing, stabbing, thrusting, and shallow cuts to deliver an extremely strong attack using her agility as evident by her skill when battling Sasaki Akiyama. She also used this thrust strength of her short arms to her biggest advantage, as she hones her thrust strength due to it requiring less force. Despite this, she was fairly weaker than the rest of her fellow wives that were also viewed by the warlords as Rokihiko's supporting tools and accessories but this wasn't too bad as they were actually very strong. She also relies on her physical prowess very often, and her Poisonous Nectar Style that she taught to some of the Knights of the Crystal Rose such as Moriko.

**Expert Melee Combatant:** Hanaka is an expert at melee combat as evident by her showing proficiency in piercing, stabbing, and thrusting her kunai and tanto onto her opponent from close ranges with physical contact, and stabbing and piercing them with simple hand to hand combat strikes. Her skills greatly impressed someone like Adonnes De Hanabi, and even Reika Kamino alongside Aoto.

**Enhanced Physical Strength:** Hanaka possesses enhanced amounts of physical strength far superior to the average human being but less than what is required to decapitate a Doll in one swing. Her arm strength allows her to apply her muscular force towards thrusting the Snakeroot-laced kunai onto Dolls given their thick necks. Her enhanced physical strength is actually on her short arms, as she is able to pierce the Doll's thick neck onto half, and breaks it with ease.

## Equipment

**Kunai:** In a similar manner to Anchali Darin, Hanaka's main weapon was several kunai, which were short daggers that she used to stab her opponents with the edges alongside possessing several chains attached to these daggers. The tip of the knives possessed extremely harsh chains and also had poisons, acids, corrosive ashes, and were capable of depleting lots of blood through small wounds. It's tip is designed large enough to slice efficiently even through durable targets, and could also stab, pierce, and be used for thrusting. Relying mostly on these weapons allowed Hanaka to be more adaptable and reliant on her other skills, physicality, and Numen Energy. After her death, Mirai began to wield it with utmost efficiency in her memory alongside the glaives.

**Thin Whip:** Hanaka also wields one thin whiplike katana which slices and cuts many areas at once, and can be used for long-ranged and mid-ranged purposes. The whip is very durable, and is a testament to Hanaka's innate flexibility, which is extremely enhanced. This is what Hanaka wields often in long-ranged combat situations. Due to it's thin structure, the wounds inflicted are huge despite the cuts being thin and shallow due to the poisons inside the whip, and the thin structure. This can also be used for close-ranged combat, making it very effective. The tip is very narrow, and is shaped like nectar and used for stabbing and thrusting.
