Minori Amanohara

**Minori Amanohara** is a playable character in the *Arcana Heart* series, who made her debut in *Arcana Heart 3 Love Max Six Stars*. She is a Hybride who escaped from the Drexler Institute thanks to Petra. She is now committed to fight evil as her secret super hero persona.

She serves as the final boss of *Six Stars*, replacing Ragnarok in the game when playing as anyone but her in Story Mode.

Her Arcana is **Ichor**, the Arcana of Blood.

## Bio

*A wannabe hero. After feelings of frustration arose in herself as the Misono Academy girls are off protecting the world in secrecy, she decided to take up the mantle for herself. In her mind, if she has power of her own, there isn't any reason why she can't enter the fray.*

## Appearance

Minori is a fair-skinned girl with large light purple eyes. When her mouth is opened, a single fanged tooth is visible. She has long platinum-blonde hair worn in a low, thin ponytail that goes down to her thighs. The hair that frames her head and face appears short and spiked, with two thin, curled strands of hair sticking up resembling antennae.

Her casual attire consists of red glasses, a white and red hoodie over her school outfit and blue shoes.

Her battle attire consists a white shawl lined in golden-orange with white spiked pieces of material beneath it that reveals her underboob and midriff. At her neck is a black collar with a big purple orb attached to a big pink bow. Her skirt is golden-orange with the same white material sticking out from the top and bottom. She wears a pale indigo belt around her waist with two packs; one on each side, with the entire thing accented with gold. Her shoes are black with gold bottom and metal cuffs on top. On each hand she wears a red metal hand with white claws attached to it. The top of the glove resembles that of a lions mouth and face.

## Personality

From what has been revealed so far, it is implied that Minori may have a hero-complex. Passionate and with the desire to help instead of sitting around doing nothing.

## Story

### *Arcana Heart 3 Love Max Six Stars*

*Main article: Minori Amanohara/AH3 Storyline*
After its establishment, the Drexler Institute developed artificial Valkyries and Arcana. Minori Amanohara was one of the few products of that research who was born at the Japanese Branch of the Institute. She is a “Hybride”, a special Valkyrie who can dual-ly wield the powers of the Arcana and the Geist (armored spirits developed at the Institute). She escaped the facility with the help of Petra. “Doing good deeds in secrecy” is her motto, so she uses her ability to defeat evil without being seen. She actually comes from wealthy noble origins. The outgoing, superhero-like behavior outside is a stark contrast to her attitude at home under the watch of her strict mother.

The dragonhead-like armor on her arms are the Geist of Fafnir and Schwarz.

Although frustrated by her inability to help Heart and the other Angels, she continues to fight for world peace with her newly acquired powers, and stands tall fighting for peace as the "Annihilation Angel Subaru" (self-proclaimed super hero name).
