## Personality

As an officer from Schicksal organization, Himeko takes her job very seriously. She considers herself a warrior who fights Honkai beasts and protects innocent lives. Himeko is very headstrong, to the point where some may consider her reckless. She will go out of her way to act strong in front of her comrades to inspire them to keep fighting. Himeko is also considered a genius, as she graduated high school at the top of her class.

Outside of work, though, Himeko is quite lazy and messy, a fact only known by those close to her. Evident by the fact that prior to Kiana, Mei, and Bronya moving in, her apartment was so dirty it can only be described as a dump site by Kiana. Her competency at work is also often questioned by Theresa and her closest subordinate, which the former states that Himeko often drinks at work. Her recklessness is also considered her greatest weakness, which Theresa warns will one day become Himeko’s downfall.

Underneath her headstrong persona, Himeko is a caring individual who worries about her comrades. Secretly, she ponders about the future of her students (especially the Squad V members,) and worries what will happen to them if she’s not around anymore.

Despite all that, Himeko is dedicated to her job and protecting the ones she care about, and she would never hesitate risking her own life in order to save another.

## Character Introduction

At the age of 21, Murata Himeko obtained her PhD from the California Institute of Technology. She had originally dreamed of following her father's path as a scientist, but she lost everything because of the Houkai.

In order to investigate the truth about her father's death, Himeko accepted the invitation of Theresa Apocalypse and joined the Valkyrie forces of the St. Freya High School the following year.

## Houkai 3rd Plotline

### Becoming a Valkyrja

Because Himeko doesn't have Houkai resistance from birth, she was transplanted with artificial stigmata developed by Schicksal. As a result, her body is now able to equip the Nexus Armor but at the cost of her lifespan.

2 years after her father's death, Himeko participated in the Houkai Fighting Strategy Unit Training Program - Valkyrja's first recruitment, and became the first batch of Schicksal's commando Valkyrja at A-Rank. She also joined the Valkyrie Assault Squad, commanded by Ragna, who became Himeko's close friend, teacher and influenced her fighting style with greatsword.

In 2010, the Valkyrie Assault Squad was nearly annihilated in a mission. Her teacher, Ragna, also died in that mission. The Squad was disbanded never re-established.

#### Nuclear Fusion Armor

Nuclear Fusion Armor is the one of the many prototype god killer armors made by Destiny that improved overall durability and gives the wearer a high amount of electrical energy at the cost of own lifespan.

Himeko used this armor for the first time to fight against the 3rd Herscherr in the manga.

### Xuanyuan Sword Incident

When she picked up the Xuanyuan Sword, she became a zombie controlled by the Houkai's will that was contained within the sword. Kiana managed to take down Himeko and reconciled the Houkai's will inside the sword using her pure soul.
