## Personality

Hazuki is a fiercely loyal individual who is dedicated to her fellow Protectors of Aevium. When performing her duties, she is very vigilant and commanding as seen when she interrogates the protagonist and their group when they appear outside Hiyoshi City. Hazuki has no tolerance for disrespect for her fellow protectors or herself and will retaliate against those that speak out of line. She is very traditional in how she interacts with her peers such as addressing Anju as “Lady Anju”.

Outside of her duties, Hazuki is much more relaxed and willing to enjoy time with her friends. She has an excitable and almost carefree spirit and is somewhat naive as demonstrated when Vivian mentioned that Hazuki thought babies came from eggs. She can get easily flustered when it comes to romance such as feeling embarrassed with Nymiera brings up her date plans.

As an older woman, Hazuki initially retains her relaxed nature when interacting with friends though she can be very serious when it comes to her role as headmistress of Axis High University. Upon finding out the truth from the Puppet Master, she becomes consumed with anger and disgust mostly directed at Thomas Blakeory Sr. She also becomes more fanatical and overzealous when she begins to dedicate herself to serving the Puppet Master.

## Biography

Hazuki first appears just outside of Hiyoshi City interrogating the protagonist, Ren, Reina, and Huey after the group was teleported to Past Aevium. After Reina makes a sarcastic comment, Hazuki is quick to threaten her for speaking out of line. Hazuki stands down once Anju appears and recognizes the protagonist. To her surprise and immediate remorse, Hazuki deems herself unfit to protect Anju and prepares to take her own life should Anju make the order. Anju does not see the need for Hazuki to act so formally and reassures her that she does not need protection. After coming to terms with Anju’s words, Hazuki promises to do better. Once Anju decides that the group should visit Nymiera, Hazuki offers to lead the way to Nymiera’s apartment in Hiyoshi City.

Within Nymiera’s apartment, Hazuki completes her escort task and Nymiera permits Hazuki to attend her date. Immediately, she becomes flustered and attempts to clarify but leaves soon after due to Nymiera’s urging.

Later, Hazuki is seen waiting for her date, Thomas Blakeory Sr., who appears shortly after. Hazuki expresses concern that she thought Thomas would abandon her but, Thomas quickly reassures her and proclaims that he will be the one to protect her. Hazuki states she has duties to attend to and that she must leave but does not depart before telling Thomas that she loves him.

Just outside Nymiera’s apartment, Hazuki is seen alongside Anju and Nymiera preparing to search for Vitus’ underground lair to rescue Kanon and defeat Vitus. Nymeria asks Hazuki to search the area near the hospital and Hazuki readily accepts the task and later joins her fellow protectors in fighting against Vitus.

Hazuki next appears in the present time where she arrives at the Grand Dream Tournament to help calm down the guests in attendance. She helps to reassure a worried Amber and confirms Tesla’s safety after Grand Dream City was placed under lockdown. Knowing Amber’s talent as a hostess, Hazuki calls upon Amber to cheer up the audience to which Amber confidently accepts. After Amber departs, Hazuki tells the protagonist, Reina, and Huey that she has arranged something for them to do just outside the tournament building. Before leaving, Hazuki tells the protagonist that she has not forgotten about them and that they will speak again when the time is right.

Later on, while exploring Anju’s estate with Erin, Kanon recalls a memory where Hazuki along with Vivian and Kanon himself were visiting Anju in her bedroom. Anju expresses surprise over them arriving early and Hazuki responds that her place needs to be swept for threats. Hazuki also chuckles over the fact that Anju expected her to be in formal attire rather than in her suit of armor. Feeling excited, Hazuki wishes to see Anju’s son which Anju agrees to do.

Within the nursery, Kanon recalls another memory of the Protectors of Aevium; the flashback shows Hazuki gushing over Anju’s baby. Hazuki comments on Vivian’s sheltered home life after Vivian thought the baby’s crib was a cage. Vivian responds by stating that Hazuki used to believe that babies hatched from eggs and Hazuki implies that she is still skeptical about the origins of babies. While holding the child, Anju’s son pukes all over Hazuki due to her overzealous handling.

While in the ballroom, Kanon reminisces on a ball that was hosted by Anju which Hazuki and Vivian also attended. Anju acknowledges that Hazuki is finally wearing formal attire and Hazuki is reminded of her experiences attending formal events with her family during her childhood. Vivian finds it weird to see Hazuki without her armor and claims that is all she wears, Hazuki boldly states that she must be ready to protect Nymiera at a moment’s notice. Ready to enjoy the evening with her friends, Hazuki invites Vivian to dance with her.

At Axis High University, Hazuki returns and scolds Amber for standing on the panels in the fountain and wishes to know what Amber, the protagonist, and Aelita want while concerning herself with the potential damage to school property. Upon seeing Aelita, Hazuki recognizes her as an old friend and addresses her as Vivian even though she understands that Aelita is not Vivian. Hazuki mentions that she would like to get to know Aelita and invites the group of three for dinner the following night before departing.

The next day, Hazuki appears in the auditorium wearing a Puppet Master mask and announces the beginning of the academic year for the new students attending the School of Nightmares. Hazuki declares herself as a representative of the Puppet Master and informs each group they have been enrolled in his academy. She proceeds to explain the rules and conditions of the academy which are necessary for both groups to find all truths before they can escape the school.

During Aelita’s path, we later see the Puppet Master speaking through Hazuki while confronting Thomas Blakeory Sr. While chastising Mr. Blakeory for his actions in the world, the Puppet Master informs him that Hazuki is aware of the situation currently playing out.

Later, while the protagonist completes their nightmare realm, Hazuki is seen pacing in a room with a tied-up Thomas Blakeory Sr., a tied-up Amber, Saki, and Thomas Blakeory Jr. When Thomas Sr. attempts to question his wife, Hazuki tells him he has no authority and proceeds to speak about her meeting with the Puppet Master that changed her life. Hazuki informs Thomas Sr. that she has become privy to all of his malicious actions, including manipulating her during the events of Storm-9. Thomas Sr. had found an unconscious Hazuki and told her that her friends rescued her and she was to get on the nearest evacuation ship. The Puppet Master showed Hazuki that Thomas Sr.’s words were fraudulent and that her friends were still fighting against Vitus. Throughout her life since getting on the ship, Hazuki was plagued with the lingering regret of not having done more that day to help her friends. Hazuki goes on and states that Thomas Sr. only desired to merge his family fortune with Hazuki’s in order to rebuild the Blakeory name which Thomas Sr. vehemently denies. Hazuki goes further and reveals that Thomas Sr. is connected, along with Cassandra, to Team Xen.

Hazuki then turns to Saki and hands her a knife telling her that she must kill Thomas Sr. Saki questions this and Hazuki responds that Saki is the one that Thomas Sr. actually cares for and if she were to cut ties with him that it would break him. Embittered by the Puppet Master’s revelations, Hazuki wishes to see Thomas Sr.’s face change as he’s about to die and that his granddaughter will be the one to do the deed. Hazuki also goes on to reveal to Saki that her invention for the Top-Notch student competition was supposed to finish in 3rd place and that Thomas Sr. had been forging her life as an extension of his own. As Hazuki urges Saki to take his life, Amber adamantly tries to convince Saki not to do the deed much to Hazuki’s annoyance. Amber proceeds to call Hazuki a coward and berates her for not turning in Thomas Sr. and forcing Saki to enact revenge for her. This angers Hazuki to the point where she hits Amber; though Hazuki is caught off guard when Amber is able to break free from her restraints and attempts to leave with Saki and Thomas Jr.

Within the Puppet Master’s nightmare realm, Hazuki awakens and relishes in the distortion that has affected Axis High University she also proceeds to block Aelita, the protagonist, and Saki from progressing. Seeing Aeita as Vivian, Hazuki chastises her for disgracing Nymiera and labels her a coward. Hazuki fully devotes herself to becoming the Puppet Master’s warrior and engages the protagonist, who fights on behalf of Aelita, in a battle.

After being defeated, Hazuki attempts to attack the group herself only to be intercepted by Adam, Valarie, and Delpha. She then unleashes her Anti-Matter Cage defensive technique as a means to block everyone from reaching the Puppet Master and she summons her Registeel to provide offensive support. Saki attempts to stand up to her grandmother despite receiving her jeers and while demonstrating her resolve, Registeel moves to her side much to Hazuki’s shock. Bearing the brunt of Registeel’s retaliation, Hazuki realizes Nymiera has acknowledged Saki and her cage crumbles. Overwhelmed with grief, Hazuki uses her Aegislash to take her own life.

## Relationships

Anju - Hazuki holds Anju and her opinion in high regard; when she felt she messed up, Hazuki was willing to take her own life depending on Anju’s word. She is always willing to escort Anju to places and ensure her safety. Also, though she is initially hesitant, Anju allows Hazuki to hold her child showing the trust Anju has for Hazuki.

Vivian - Vivian and Hazuki do not frequently interact with each other, however as fellow Protectors of Aevium, they are fully dedicated and friendly with each other. In Kanon’s memory, they take playful jabs at each other’s sheltered home lives. While seeing Vivian through Aelita, Hazuki harbors some resentment for Vivian choosing her own path and doubting Nymiera. She even goes as far as to call Vivian a coward.

Nymiera - Hazuki sees Nymiera as a true leader and idolizes her power. She is a fervent believer in Nymiera’s goals and will lay down her life to protect and serve Nymiera. In their interaction in Hiyoshi City, they maintain a professional relationship as seen when Hazuki briefs Nymiera on escorting Anju safely to her apartment and Nymiera permits Hazuki to go attend her date with Thomas Sr. A core reason why Hazuki always wears her armor is to remain ready to protect Nymiera at any time.

Thomas Blakeory Sr. - Initially, Hazuki deeply loved and cared for Thomas Sr. After learning about Thomas Sr.’s atrocities, Hazuki grew to despise him for his actions to the point of wanting him dead, though she could not perform the deed herself.
