Hinode Himari

**Himari** Hinode (日ノ出　**陽葵**) is a student Taimanin studying at Gosha Academy.

## Personality

She has a cheerful personality and is regarded as "hot-blooded but reassuring" by those around her. The girls in her class apply sunscreen to their skin before training, both because of the sun and Himari's Yang Art, but she doesn't care at all and willingly gets a nice tan.

She is secretly popular among boys because of her fleshy figure and her closeness to men and women. There is no end to the number of boys who try to get in touch with her by asking her to play the role of a tanner so that they can be popular. During events such as Gosha's Freshmen welcoming ceremony or infiltration missions, she's often asked by the boys to take upon roles and costumes that most other ladies find too suggestive and skimpy.

However, Himari is completely unaware of their intentions, and only seems to think that she is happy to be of service to her friends and fellow Taimanin. That naivety and lack of awareness has also proved to be a fatal flaw in two of her RPGX card scenes, as they led to her being captured on at least two occasions.

## Appearance

She has voluminous and long spiky blonde hair with two red-tinted strands, which she likes to let loose or tie up into twintails depending on her outfit. Her rounded eyes have red irises and her skin is white but usually tanned.

Her Taimanin suit is an off-shoulder fishnet leotard, with a long and wide cleavage cut that starts at a large, sun-shaped metallic piece over her bust, and extends down to her belly. White stripes shoot out from the aforementioned sun-shaped piece to not only contour and define the leotard, but also link and hold it up by a collar at Himari's neck. Her long gloves, thigh-high socks and boots match the leotard's design, the former even having wristbands that match her collar's design, but they're mostly covered by the rest of her outfit's pieces.

Himari wears an orange cropped jacket with black stripes atop her Taimanin suit, with the sun insignia in her leotard replicated at her upper arms, and a black cuff with orange stripes at her sleeves just below the elbow.

At her legs, she wears white side-snap beltless chaps that connect to her leotard that end at a pair of orange and black-striped legwarmers. These chaps feature white knee-pads, themselves furnished with golden buttons and a black fabric wrapping underneath, and are adorned with a pair of the sun insignia found on her jacket.

## History

A student of Gosha Academy she is known for her Yang Art.

In the past, a Taimanin who manifested this power was said to emit heat comparable to that of the sun, and burned several villages to the ground in herself. She has little control over it and only uses it as a last resort. She currently lives in the new female dormitory in the former old Gosha Academy building.

In the year **2085**, appeared in the event of Duke Muscle. Supported Fuuma Kotaro as a cheerleader during the Cervantes show fight, helping to channel the energy of the Spirits. Lastly seen in year **2087**, to be one of the inhabitants of the female dormitory guarding Maya Cordelia.

## Powers/Abilities

**Main Weapon**: Fists and Beast-like ball (Shikigami)

* **Familiar:** Her weapon, simply called *Shikigami (式神),* a living and disembodied lion-like head that is held by a leash and handle, acting like a pet both in and out of combat and requiring Himari to hold it back like one. She likes swinging and throwing it around like a morning star club, especially for hitting multiple targets and clearing areas, as well as using her close combat in conjunction with him.
* **Ninja Art**: "**Fire Art**", "**Yang Art**". According to an old record at the Taimanin Library, a Taimanin who manifested and mastered this power would emit heat comparable to that of the sun. True to that tale, Himari's use of her Yang Art produces both heat and sufficient UV to tan skin, both hers and of others. However, her mastery of said art isn't fully realized, and her current techniques are limited to blinding with luminescence and shooting small fireballs. She's capable of increasing the output of her art, but it's risky for her and whomever is within her direct surroundings, and tremendously straining to her - to the point of causing Himari to pass out shortly after its use.
* **Particle Control**: Taimanin are able to manipulate Taima Particles to enhance their physical strength, speed and defense. The particles are also used to counter demonic influences and strengthen damage to demons.

## Trivia

* So far, it hasn't been confirmed whether her "*Shikigami*" is a Ninja Art Summon or an actual Shikigami Spirit.
* Due to a common auto-translation error of her name, some Websites refer to her as Hinode Aoi.
* Introduced 2021, 3 years into the run of RPGX. She is the same age as Fuuma Kotaro.
