## History

The Hanayo sisters lived In a big village far south in Tokyo, Himari was the beauty of their town, she could play the koto, she could arrange flowers, and make tea. The town praised Himari for this, unlike Mitsuko. Mitsuko was very strong and ate as much as 5 sumo wrestlers along with a terrifying amount of flexibility. Her parents wished Mitsuko was more like her older sister which broke Mitsuko's heart, but this didn't mean Himari and Mitsuko weren't close. Himari and Mitsuko were like best friends.

Time went by until Himari turned 14 and Mitsuko turned 12, a large demon attack happened at their village killing almost everybody in the village, when a demon came into their house it quickly killed and ate Himari and Mitsuko's parents right in front of them. Enraged Mitsuko tore the demons limbs off, she then took a nearby katana from a samurai and decapitated it. A nearby Kinoe ranked demon slayer had witnessed this and asked Himari and Mitsuko if they would like to become demon slayers, the sisters agreed. The demon slayer introduced themselves as **Aki**, Aki took the 2 sisters in and had more interest in Mitsuko then Himari, but Aki trained Himari first because she was older. She taught Himari Mist Breathing, Himari quickly mastered this breath and easily passed the final selection when she was 15 and quickly went up the ranks. Aki then tried to teach Mitsuko Mist Breathing but Mitsuko did not master it, but she did make her own breathing style that she could easily master, Lunar Breathing. Mitsuko passed the final selection when she was 13 (Himari was already a Hashira by this point). Mitsuko also quickly went up the ranks and waiting on becoming a Hashira.

Some years later, Himari got engaged to a nice man and was soon going to resign from her Hashira position. But one night, Mitsuko encountered Uppermoon 4 Hantengu when she was still in the Kanoe rank. Himari was nearby when Mitsuko was about to be impaled by Sekido's spear. But then Himari appeared out of no where and was impaled instead of Mitsuko, Himari kept fighting with an impaled chest until the sun started rising and Hantengu ran away. Himari loved her younger sister dearly enough to save her with her own life, even despite being set to marry the next week.

After Himari's death became a Hashira. Within a few days she killed over 100 demons with her finally fully designed Lunar Breathing. A few years later Mitsuko fell in love with Giyū Tomioka as they had talked a lot and understood each other a lot. Mitsuko stayed with Giyu throughout the entire Infinity Castle Arc so Tomioka didn't lose his arm. After the Demon Slayer Corps ended they got married and had a few kids.
