[Spiritual Human -- WIP for Critiques] Hanako Iramasha

The Spiritual Human Template

Basic Information
_____________________________

• Name: Hanako Iramasha
• Titles: Wife of Koichi; Mother of Hideki, Ren, InuYasha, Alice and Hikaru; Proprietor of Hanako’s Pub; Trillionaire Daughter
• Age: Born in Nov. 25th, 2392 and is 23 this year (2415).
• Gender: Female
• Affiliation/Rank: Iramasha Clan -- Koichi’s Wife

• Appearance Description: Standing at five foot flat with a medium hourglass frame, Hanako is a lightweight at the heavier side with 124 pounds. Throughout her struggles to tame her powers, she has undergone multiple transformation between what she is and what she wants to become; that is carried through by her hair color and eye color. At first, it is golden blond (dull, yet has some luster), then it changes to black, and then to dark brown before it settled to her normal hair color, but when becoming aggressive enough, her hair can change from golden blond, to dark brown and then to black. Her eyes is normally bright blue, but when agitated to the point of wishing at enact violence, her eyes can turn red, but rarely it would turn pupiless white. Overall, her skin stays the same as a smooth, peach color.

Her frequent choice of accessories are a pink ribbon to restrain her hair and a ring signifying her marriage to Koichi Iramasha. Beyond the two items, her outfit changes between the days and occasions; an example of it was a halter-neck tank top with a pair of jeans with a pair of sneakers during the summer.

Personality

• Personality: Passionate and experienced since a young age, Hanako is an expedient academic and a rivaling athlete through sheer determination inspired by her former master who she said to shared the same, intense determination to overcome limitations and transcend mastery. However, before she was taken under the wing of her former master, she was a traumatized child who lost her mother on her tenth birthday and was forced to leave her friends and the city of Osaka because of a psychopathic terrorist who was after her and her alone for seemingly no reason. The slap of surreality brought her into a standstill in her development until she met her former master; even to this day, the primary sight of a mass murder or a mass grave can trigger her panic attack, which she becomes to incapacitated to fall and to move away--she just stands there in pure shock and horror as if to represent the standstill she had as a child. But seemingly like her former master, she loses sight of her dismay when she recognizes what would threaten her life, even if the threat was not intended for her. Most of the time, she would shirk her internal anguish with a light-hearted persona that most can recognize upon meeting her, but when her anguish consumes her, her darker persona is perceived as quiet, cryptic and assertive through action and inquiry rather than comfort and knowledge. The darker persona was evident for the first time during her rehabilitation as her caretaker reported her “being relaxed, but an alien presence dominates from the same space as the patient.” While the doctors are trying to find links to the change in behavior, Hanako no longer shown signs of that eerie persona. Her notable weakness when deducing who the person is telling the difference between alter-personas and the actual person; an example of it is the scenario; “If Ichigo and his Inner Hollow stood side by side, would Hanako depict the difference? Hanako could not tell the difference because they both looked the same to her.” I can be theorized that Hanako instinctually can recognize souls who were separated from each other when they are meant to be whole or Hanako has an inherent blindness when it comes to recognizing between light versus dark, and order versus chaos.

Adoration
She remains faithful to her husband, Koichi Iramasha, but her adventurous nature as a human also remains to be a tiny wrench thrown into the machine of a normal life. Despite being an adventurer at heart (or little troublemaker in Koichi’s case), she does not like being away from her family for a long time, especially from her husband. Being away from the family for longer than needed will cause Hanako to become anxious and eager as she would push for any opportunity to return to her family when she originally could not, but when away from Koichi for too long, she becomes very depressed and even stressed out during the time she is taking care of her five kids.

Likes
She likes dark chocolate; there is no questioning that. In the past, she would pass up payment of yen for these dark treats. She is a dog person, thus one of the reasons she loves her husband; it is according to the myths that she believed that dogs are great judges of character as they can “sense” the difference between good or bad people. Through that belief, she always trust her husband when it comes to unusual encounters and detecting liars. As for music, she was into various genres, but her favorites are mainly in Jazz, which was a contrast towards her former master’s metalhead nature. Secretly, she has a stash of erotic manga hidden in her old home in Downtown Karakura.

Dislikes
She does not like cats because it seems the cats do not like her at the sight of her, but she suspects that they could sense the dog on her and reacted in a natural enemy way. The main reason that she doesn’t like using weapons beyond guns and her martial arts is because of her former master as Hanako felt it is more of her former master’s style that she could not compete or ascend to such expectations when she already exceeded the expectations with just her fists and kicks; whenever she uses something like a sword, any expert and master swordsmen can see how she is blundering instead of trying to master the weapon, yet they would not normally know that Hanako instinctually limited herself with such doubt. In the past, she does not like having to kill someone and she still does not like it despite she can carry the guilt of ending someone’s life as necessary; she would usually start off trying to convince the opponent to not get themselves killed and withdraw while they still can, but when forced, she gradually tries to subdue the opponent and at worse, be forced to kill the opponent due to the threat being too great to be left alive after her experience fighting Mana in Malaysia. Despite how many times she dealt with Shinigami and Hollows, she never likes ghost stories and horror films so whenever she had to listen or watch them, she huddles close to Koichi or something to comfort her; a jump scare seems to always get her (and whoever she punched by reflex if unfortunate enough).

Animosity
After an attempt on her husband by Shiki, a minion of Eric Zarathos, Hanako will not hesitate to retaliate against an attempt to seduce her husband or an attempt to seduce her by someone impersonating as her or as her husband. Knowing Koichi, he would feel the same after that incident. The typical response to the act was a swift Destroyer Dive technique that can snap the opponent’s neck on top of smashing their skull in by the heads-first spinning pile driver. The first time done was in the same situation, but the opponent in question was Shiki, which did not survive the impact and the neck snapping. If their marriage is being jeopardized by an outsider of the family, Hanako will spend no second of hesitation in tag-teaming with Koichi in decimating the outsider because it is as much of her problem as it is for her husband.

Natural Attributes & Supernatural Powers

• Natural Attributes: Improved Reiatsu Immunity: Hanako is immune to effects brought upon by Reiatsu directly such as the use to stun, to kill and to overwhelm. Even in her released state, she is capable of maintaining the immunity through the evolution of her powers during her rehabilitation from a power surge. Instead of completely locking her soul within her body, she created a new strand within her soul that only allows her pure reishi to reenter and any exposure to foreign reishi are actively broken down and refined within her own reiatsu. If foreign reishi managed to enter her body, her soul and body will attack the reishi and force it out, appearing as a fluctuation in her spiritual aura. On its own, the immunity does nothing to help her in combat beyond allowing her to stand in hazardous areas involving reiatsu being directly used. Pure Abilities and other abilities that qualified as a branch beyond the use of reiatsu still can bypass it and do harm to her because her body and soul do not react that fast versus the slow creep effect of the direct exposure to reiatsu.

Eternal Body: Hanako cannot deteriorate by age and cannot be subjected to age-modification abilities. While she can still be killed by conventional means (such as violence and illnesses), she is unable to feel the effect of “getting older” while also cannot feel “any younger” after fighting Mana Asthavon and experiencing the power that nearly killed her if Koichi and her former master had not intervened and helped her in her recovery. It is believed that a portion of Death Energy that she was exposed to from the fight is involved in her agelessness. Another belief is that during the rehabilitation, the power that nearly killed her reconfigured her soul and body to the point that she is no longer mortal and in fact became an ascended human being. Despite this immunity to the decay through time, Hanako still often fear the chance of dying unceremoniously alone and unfinished.

• Powers: Her powers are separated into categories; modifiers and supports. Supports are the foundation, marked by the color of the core in Hanako’s reiatsu as they affect her as a person in the situation as well as the environment around her such as allies and enemies. Modifiers are essentially the change in her ability rules signified in the outlines of her reiatsu while they only affect how her abilities affect the environment or to the object. While Modifiers’ abilities can be altered by another modifier, passives and Supports’ abilities are not able to be used outside their parent power. All powers will be deactivated when Hanako is rendered incapacitated or was deemed dead.

(Modifier) The Grace of the Opened Palm: This modifier spawns from Hanako being spurred by the desire for mercy towards her opponent who may not have known their true way. Through such desires, her fists and kicks are not allowed to touch while only her hits that it would allow is when her hands shown an opened palm as the most effective method. Should she attack with her punches and kicks, Hanako’s lethal forces is converted to fatigue-inducing blasts of reiryoku that disperses reiryoku and reiatsu, converting them into reishi in the air while each strike can reduce the person’s endurance until they are too exhausted to continue. It is achieved by creating miniature barriers around the areas where the attacks would land, but it is actively protecting the enemy in the process. When doing so with an opened palm, she can actively strike at key points and causing limbs to be limped for a short period of time, to temporarily prevent the target from using their natural abilities effectively for a short period of time, or to disrupt the flow of energy in the target’s body to cause the target to hurt themselves due to power fluctuations and surges at affected parts of the body; while all of her attacks (even when deemed lethal originally) are non-lethal, it can turn lethal when the target pushes themselves too far with the restraints. This modifier’s outline color is white.

(Modifier) The Power of the Closed Fist: The modifier is activated through the desire to punish and to defeat as Hanako enhances her ability to cause damage. It is achieved by creating spheres of energy around her punches and kicks that appear like stars, which upon impact bursts the star that takes the hit and create an explosive force that slashes and pierces into the opponent’s body. Alternatively, it creates a shell around the opponent which falsifies the sense of security when it is actually a bomb built up by the opponent’s reiatsu until someone cracks the shell. Once the shell cracks, it instantaneously shatter into tiny pieces as an explosion erupts from the opponent and damage all who are in the area as pieces of the barrier slashes and pierces by or into everyone else like shrapnels. While the bomb does not harm the target at the epicenter, Hanako and the others can defend against it by creating a flash barrier or prepared barriers, which protect them from the shrapnels. This is her aggressive modifier and it can turn lethal quickly as the modifier’s outline is black.

(Modifier) The Way of the Focused Step: While the Opened Palm is the mercy and the Closed Fist is the punishment, then the Focused Step is the swiftness of such justice. When active, it shows an outline of red. The modifier is activated through the desire to end the fight quickly as any means are necessary. It is inherently both nonlethal and lethal as it based on how Hanako wished to end the fight either with execution or with mercy. The focus lies in how fast she can attack and land them. With enhanced agility and reflexes, she can be visibly seen as being faster than normal when Hanako could see them as slower than normal. However, movements are not affected; only her attacks and reflexes are affected. While momentum and inertia are applicable, the modifier has no further benefits beyond enhanced agility and reflexes of her attack and close-quarter evasion.

(Support) The Flight of the Golden Sparrow: Formerly called “Sparrow Flight” as a technique used by Hanako to swiftly knock out her opponent with a kick to the head while perched on their shoulders, this evolved into a power which allows Hanako to accelerate at a greater rate than normal. This means that Hanako can sprint faster, jump higher and farther than normal as if she had a running start, despite initially standing still. To a degree, Hanako can manipulate the immediate reishi around her to create a platform for her to stand on, imitating levitation or flight as the platforms then can be manipulated by Hanako to accelerate at any direction while in mid-air. This variation is also supported by the power, thus she can potentially imitate Geppo or Soul Dash. As a support power, it appears as a golden core in her reiatsu.

(Support) The Will of the Platinum Heart: Evoked from her love and resolution for the good of her family and friends, Hanako forms the core of platinum yellow as her aura shields her from doubt and remorse. Her joy emanates from the success of giving it her all to end the fight on a good note, even if it is just for herself. For her, the aura comforts her and embraces her from the fears of failure as if her mother was there to support her, even at the darkest of times. This comfort protects her from illusions and feelings that would normally demoralize those of her own kind. When active, no ability that is normally used to demoralize her or to bring her into doubt will not affect her as uncertainty is solved before her eyes in visions of the truth long past. Each time a form of doubt comes at her with uncertainty, she could feel as if someone she knows was telling her the answer; whether it is a ghost or her own personal illusion, lies from her past cannot be heard in this space of peace within chaos.

(Support) The Virtue of the Silver Soul: Bore from the kindred spirit ensnared within the surrealistic fate for what to come for Hanako--or is it was Okanah’s that remains still? Unlike the reiatsu cores that would rise from her feet, this core swirls as an incomplete sphere of silver clouds. As often difficult to tell if it was Hanako or Okanah that was invoking the need to mend broken souls and bodies around her. While Hanako wanted answers to her fate, Okanah wanted to correct the surrealism of her fate so happiness can be found. While active, Hanako can actively heal those around her by maintaining hand contact to the target. How much reiryoku would be depleted is based on the reasonable discretion of the target depending on the severity of the wound. In some cases, Hanako would deplete enough of it that she cannot enter combat unless she would wish to risk being incapacitated by the lack of reiryoku. While healing, Hanako is vulnerable and can be disrupted by an outside force that can exceed her Focus will skill.

• Pure Abilities:

The Grace of the Opened Palm
(Passive) Subdue: When sharing the same situation (or topic) with Hanako when the aura is active, everyone becomes ethereal or immune to death, instead they become incapacitated when sufficient damage is being done. Weapons seem to pass through them and drawn out the energy they have before they become fatigued. This is often used to prevent people from getting killed meaninglessly and to prevent anyone from killing those whom she desired to live. However, this also affects enemies that she wanted defeated and gone, so if someone she cared about is in the same area as the enemy that she wanted dead, Hanako cannot cancel this passive without risking the life of the one she cared about while she cannot kill the person she wanted dead. The enemies can take that into advantage by knocking out her allies and forcing her to submit against her wishes in exchange for the lives of her allies while allies can take advantage to give it their all without fearing the possibility of wrongfully killing someone. All injuries are reduced to bruises, including possible dismemberment while attempts to dismember results in the target’s body being strengthened by the reiatsu to prevent dismemberment.

(Ability) Paragon Strike: While striking with an opened palm, it sends a ripple throughout the target’s body, causing the body to focus its energy on mitigating what it would instinctively thought to be a blast attack when it is just a well-placed strike to where the defense is soft or rigid. By forcing the body to overreact, Hanako was causing the target to lose more energy with each strike. How many times it would take to subdue the target is dependent on how strong the target is versus her weapon skill rank. When influenced by the Opened Palm, Hanako can actively disable a limb for a brief period of time to allow her to strike consistently maybe without the target blocking such targeted spots on their body.

The Power of the Closed Fist
(Passive) Burst: For each hit happened within the same situation (or topic) as Hanako, a small, black sphere of energy based on the reiatsu of the one who made the hit will appear in the battlefield similarly to a landmine. At anytime they made contact, they have a short period before exploding. During the short period, it is possible for anyone to throw or smack them into their intended target (probably even into another sphere). Where the sphere would be placed is determined by the one who made the hit, but at the minimum of 10-feet or 3-meters away from everyone else and other spheres..The blast radius is 11-feet or 3.5 meters (22-feet or 7-meters in diameter). It is quite possible to line them up for a domino effect. Example for it is if Hanako hits someone, she can place a burst sphere 10-feet away from her opponent before kicking them into the burst sphere; the opponent has their turn to react to the burst sphere and have it thrown at Hanako, thus forcing Hanako to try and mitigate the force of the sphere’s explosion, but if the opponent is unable to react to the burst sphere, then the burst sphere explodes close the opponent. Note: The burst sphere does not cause damage at all, but instead lets inertia and environmental collisions do the job as the sphere cause knockback force equal to the tier of the one who summoned it by hitting anyone participating in the fight and only anyone who is participating in the fight. Alternatively, burst spheres can be used as a method of achieving high-speed as individuals can jump far higher than normal and get somewhere faster with them as boosters.

(Ability) Bull of Bullets: When used, Hanako triggers all burst spheres in play and either have them explode on the spot, around the intended target or directly at the target. Given that they are triggered, Hanako must spend her turn directing where they go or how they blow up while those who are targeted or are nearby the spheres must either try their best to mitigate the knockback force or get out of the way. The spheres are technically dumb rounds in term of ballistics, so they can only go to the spot depicted by Hanako and if the object on the spot is no longer there, then the bullets do not follow and will be wasted on that one spot. At worst of circumstances, it is quite possible to get knocked out of the situation (or topic) for a turn or longer if enough burst spheres exploded on the mark (which the receiver can choose to determine how reasonably long they take to get back).

The Way of the Focused Step
(Passive) Respond: When actively in its parent power, those who shares the same situation (or topic) as Hanako are faster to react to surprise attacks as along they are from outside their range of vision including peripheral. Individuals affected include allies and enemies, but it does not enhance their speed or acceleration and it does not as automatic. That means that the character cannot auto-dodge, cannot ignore an attack in the post and cannot assume successful evasion when speed is not good enough or the character was caught in an explosion that he or she could not escape in time. If the individual is already aware of the attackers, this passive does not apply to them. They can tell if the passive is affecting them as they can feel a tingle on their spine whenever someone is trying to attack them from behind or from outside their sight. However, invisible characters and characters who are using teleportation or flash-step to get behind their enemy can still count their attacks as a surprise attack.

(Ability) One Hundred Strikes: By forgoing damage, Hanako strikes at the opponent a hundred times with heightened reflexes and fast-paced agility. On its own, it is useful when wishing to build up for Bull of Bullets since a hundred hits equals a hundred burst spheres when Closed Fist is active. However, with its parent power active, Hanako can strike at her enemy a hundred times, but not forgoing damage, thus the enemy would receive the equivalent of a hundred punches or kicks. Hanako must choose either punching or kicking, but she cannot choose both because the sequence has no transition between punching and kicking. By appearance, it would look like a blur for the flurry of blows, the reality is that Hanako’s agility is great enough that the Focused Step can only allow her to deal damage as otherwise, the punches or the kicks would feel like nothing. Due to how fast the punches or the kicks are going, blocking them would prove to be a harrowing feat, but simply stepping away from her range can be proven simple with at least one hit connected.

The Flight of the Golden Sparrow
(Passive) Freedom’s Flight: When the parent power is in effect, the passive ability to manipulating the immediate reishi in the area for mobility purposes can be spread onto other people who may or may not have the method. Those without the method to move around in the air or move at a great haste are given the method when sharing the same situation (or topic) as Hanako when she is using its parent power. Those who already have the method like Shunpo or Sonido are given the passive ability to use their mobility to overcome limitations imposed by a sealing kido or other restraints, but not the limitations posed on their own nor not the limitations of their own. The breakout ability is not given to those who do not have a high-speed mobility method such as Shunpo and Sonido. Teleporation or ridable transportation (except if created directly from the user) does not count as a high-speed mobility method as the method must be directly from the user, not through a focus or another independent entity. Hanako counts as having a high-speed method, thus she only benefits from it as a breakout ability.

(Ability) Blink: As a method of high-speed movements to compete against those with hoho and sonido, Hanako uses this technique to instantly move a great distance in one step as she followed the philosophy of the Shinigami’s hoho or flash step. Like hoho, she can only move at a straight, visible line and if she wants to get somewhere, she would have to use it multiple times. While she can spare less effort by moving and allowing the high acceleration do the pacing, using Blink cost a small bit of her reiryoku to make the distance and they add up quickly with each uses at moderate distances. The sound of the Blink being used was recognizable as if she was kicking off the ground and ending with a light step at the endpoint of the Blink. How easily she can use it is based on her General Speed skill while focus helps her notice things better when going at high speed. Blink cannot be used to speed up attacks, but it can be used to apply high momentum to a blow if she has sufficient distance to make the charge attack. When under the influence of the Golden Sparrow, the general speed skill can also be used to determine how far she can go from a small portion of energy consumed.

The Will of the Platinum Heart
(Passive) Mother’s Love: When in effect from the Platinum Heart, the regeneration rate of the individuals sharing the same situation (or topic) as Hanako will be accelerated greatly, which means that the allies and the enemies will heal faster on their own, but often not enough to be very noticeable. The more noticeable effect is how much harder it is to lose faith and to lose will to continue as if someone is supporting them from out of sight. At the same time, it becomes easier to be inspired when demoralized before. Sorrow becomes comfort and any sight of a smile causes the affected individuals to unconsciously smile while feeling warm about it. Those who were raised with good mothers tend to recognize that feeling while those who did not could not recognize it and can feel whatever they wanted to feel in reaction to that alien feeling. While comforted, illnesses and poison would die out faster before they could get worse as Hanako’s reiatsu is actively supporting the other individuals’ bodies in fighting off the conditions. Towards Mana, she would recognize the feeling during the battle between her and Hanako and would remember it well.

(Ability) Peace: A technique of infusing all her reiryoku into one strike, causing an eruption of power that can decimate an opponent who is the center point of the explosion while stunning onlookers with a blinding dome of platinum-colored light. Being at the center point of the explosion as well, Hanako will always be rendered incapacitated and unable to act further regardless if it hits or not due to how dangerously low her reiryoku is. In the aftermath when the air is cleared, all who are caught in the explosion are healed while remaining oblivious of their foes and allies due to the aftershock as a peace settles in their heart(s). Those with willpower or determination stronger than beginner rank are capable of determining how long their bliss would reasonably last; only the directly affected opponent must be equal or stronger than Hanako’s willpower or determination rank in order to determine how long the bliss would last after their recovery. Should the attempt miss, the explosion still goes off and the intended opponent will have to face the explosion of light instead of the direct impact of the technique. Eternal Heaven cannot kill the opponent by default, but when affected by the Power of the Closed Fist, Eternal Heaven can become lethal by Hanako’s choice with those who are equal or stronger in willpower or determination than Hanako being able to survive it with only incapacitation applied. Relatively on average, she can affect a city block of area in her normal state, an entire city in released state, and then an entire prefecture/state/shire in ascended state. This ability can only be used when under the influence of its parent power and Hanako knows not to use it unless she really has to while not getting killed off in her aftermath slumber, but due to the trauma caused by the technique onto her will also include memory loss of the event leading up to the use of the technique, so she often not understand or realize what people are trying to tell her until she notice the signs herself by revisiting the site of her previous use of this technique.

The Virtue of the Silver Soul
(Passive) Healing Wind: When active by the parent power, all individuals (including allies and enemies) who share the same situation as Hanako would have their wound constantly heal up while their bones becoming less painful to reset. This happens because Hanako’s Reiatsu during this parent power becomes generalized and anyone can connect with her to be healed. The healing starts off weak, but Okanah is capable of healing moderately without spending much, and then when Hanako is in her goddess state, the healing becomes strong. This would be when it is not costly for Hanako to do, but it can escalate the amount of energy that the individuals could draw from Hanako for an advantage most likely without realizing it without knowledge of how the healing kido works. The cost raises when Hanako performs a concentrated healing, which steps up the healing rate on one person, leading to full healing if Hanako was in her goddess state. If most of her reiryoku is drawn out without rest, Hanako can become incapacitated and need rest before continuing; at worst case, she could be rendered near-death without direct intervention to restore her depleted reiryoku.

(Ability) Bless: Similar to how a healing kido would work, Hanako temporarily implants her reiatsu into the target’s body and enhance the reiatsu to be considered on par with Hanako’s. This method expels spiritual ailments and poisons from the body with the reiatsu’s enhanced force. Once the ailment and poisons are “bled out”, Hanako bends her reiatsu to manipulate the fluid state of the ailment and poison and then crush them inside an orb of silver light. While superficially crushed by her reiatsu, the combined ailment and poison is turned to one crystal that is harmless to the touch, but can be grounded to dust and added to water in order to restore the ailments and the poisons. Due to the nature of it, Hanako often makes the personal delivery of such samples to Karakura Hospital, the Iramasha Clan’s healers and then to the 12th Division of the Gotei 13, so researchers can make antibiotics and antidotes for the poison or ailment. Hanako cannot reverse the effects with the method and how much of her reiryoku is spent is depended on the strength of the poison or the ailment and how far they have spread before being stopped by Hanako. If the poison or the ailment are in a specific stage before being extracted, the resulting crystal will carry that poison and ailment in their specific stage. When under the influence of the Silver Soul, Hanako can actively suspend the timeframe of the poison and the ailment, thus the conditions are frozen in whatever stage they are on before being extracted unless Hanako was disrupted during the extraction process; should that happen, the condition continues until paused again by Hanako.

Released State

• Released Appearance: Alternatively named “Hollow Hanako”, it appears whenever Hanako enters a state when desperation for survival becomes more pronounced and overwhelms her rationality. Hanako has no control when it would come out, what it would do and when it would stop, but she can goad “her inner hollow” to do so and give it temporary presence in the battlefield by negotiating with it and allowing it to possess her for a while before she could get control back. When in that state, Hanako appears completely white with exception for her clothing as her eyes turned to black with silver pupils that appear as a pair of rings. In her hollowed state, she carries the presence of an Arrancar and behaves as such with following skills linked to her three general skills and one will skill; Hierro with Durability, Cero nor Bala with Strength, Sonido with General Speed, and Perquisa with Focus. Unlike Hanako in her normal state, her hollowed state can tap into more of her potential with sheer aggression. While reckless and relentless, “Okanah” as it was called is more than likely to kill and fight to the very end just to survive, but it is smart as well, thus it knows when to retreat if the vessel that it shared with Hanako would not survive the situation. Okanah represented Hanako’s passion and determination to make evil regret ever turning their blade against her and her family. Her former master claimed that “losing control over oneself is necessary because if we stagnate with our current ideals, how do we ever grow when we spent more time worrying about the what-if’s.” Hanako believed that her near-fatal failure to maintain her Goddess State was due to her own doubts and restraints keeping her from developing, and thus learning from her darker self would help her understand more of her powers.

• Released Powers: Entwined Divinity: Instead of accessing one support and one modifier individually, she can have access to two supports and two modifiers for her pure abilities. The default pairs are The Way of the Focused Step and The Flight of the Golden Sparrow followed by the one modifier and one support of choice.
_____________________________

Ascended State

•Ascended Appearance: Alternatively named “Goddess State”, the form is achieved when Hanako reaches the pinnacle of her powers. While she has white skin, her eyes are back to normal and her hair are also back to normal. Instead of her usual outfit, she is donned in eastern styled armor consisting of Togi (body armor), Hachigane (headband), Tekko (vambraces), Haidate (tassets and trousers), and Sune-ate (sabatons).

• Ascended Powers: Trinity of Divinity: She and Okanah mastered their powers and is able to access all six of their powers as a collaboration.
They benefit from the following;
*The disabling capability of the Opened Palm
*The explosive force of the Closed Fist
The expedience of the Focused Step
The freedom of the Golden Sparrow
The resolve of the Platinum Heart
The --- of the Silver Soul
* = They are both lethal and nonlethal as Hanako can choose between them and switch between them.

Background History

• Background: Childhood
She was born in Osaka, Japan as the daughter of Naoki Shikijou and Hanako Yadomaru. Despite her tender years, she was subjected to tutoring from known professors from the universities of Tokyo, Japan, which was described as progressively faster than those who enrolled in elementary going onto senior high school despite being supposed to start at Pre-Kindergarten. As suspected from the progression, Hanako was on a tight schedule with only Saturday to spend in playtime and Sunday to learn what she wanted to learn. Two of the things she wanted to learn were about dogs and self-defense, so her parents brought in an old friend of Hanako Yadomaru named Yuu Doragonraion, which Hanako commented that she has trouble telling the difference between her and her mother, which Yuu humorously replied as, “It is because I’m the devil while your mother is the angel.” Failing to grasp the concept of “good and evil within the monochrome”, Hanako took it as a joke and laughs along before Yuu began training her in unarmed self-defense while teaching her on how to take care of a dog and understand them with Yuu’s faithful companion, Kobie.

Throughout her childhood, Yuu has been her master and Hanako as been Yuu’s student. Eventually, Yuu taught Hanako well enough that Hanako has a fundamental grasp of various styles, qualifying her as a mix-martial artist. However, on her tenth birthday, the martial arts techniques are proven useless against the onslaught of the Osaka Massacre. The man responsible was known as Mr. Caveman as his rage-fueled slaughter killed every servant and family member saved for her father and herself. How a “primitive man” get by sophisticated security and how the counter-terrorist squads are delayed during a time of rapid response expectation was determined a mystery as Mr. Caveman was able to intrude into a highly secured mansion and slaughtered eighty-four people before disappearing, leaving the responders with no suspect to engage nor to arrest. As for Hanako and her father, they fled on a plea from Hanako’s mother before she fights Mr. Caveman to buy them time, but Hanako could have sworn to have seen her mother cut down in front of her by Mr. Caveman before she fled, but the panic shirked the suspicion and made Hanako believed that whoever rescued her was her mother.

Even after being safe in Karakura Central with help from higher places such as the Yuudeshi Clan, Hanako was in a developmental standstill as her entire childhood was brought into question, including the question over her helplessness despite all the training that she received from her former master. During the two-year period, Yuu appeared and once again trains her, but instead of techniques, it is about her fitness as she explained that a stronger body creates a stronger soul and a stronger soul is what makes her strong. When her father returned to Osaka, Yuu volunteered to raise Hanako in Yuu’s mansion at Karakura’s Housing District. Over the period of her education and training, Hanako rebuilds her confidence, though she felt it was still not enough. By the time she graduated, she was sixteen and chosen to be the valedictorian for Karakura City High due to her great improvements over the year to the point that she was taking advanced placement classes and tests.

Adulthood
She could have been entering the universities of Tokyo like her former master, she instead chose to turn to pickpocketing before buying her first pistol, magnum and wakizashi to become a bounty hunter. To her, a solid fund as foundation is needed in order to get anywhere and despite Yuu’s willingness to support her, she rather act independently. After her purchases, an attack hits Fuma Park with bystanders possibly injured as Hanako began making her way to the scene. Along the way, she ran into men working for her father. The reason for their pursuit of her was a mystery, but Hanako has no intention of being dragged back to Osaka after living in Karakura Central for a long time. First time was before the attack when she was pursued into a music shop owned by Zen, who helped her escape her pursuers, but this time, it was a “dog boy” who saved her from the pursuers; the dog boy identified himself as Koichi Iramasha.

With Koichi’s help and explanation, Hanako has a funny feeling that her adventure is going to end up weirder ever since she was effectively booted out of reality by Mr. Caveman. She arrived to the scene of the attack and immediately began to rescue bystanders who are caught in the crossfire. After the conflict begins to cool down, a bounty hunter working for someone caught the party by surprise with a mutant dog and grabbing Hanako while she is distracted. This led to a chase in the skyway between the bounty hunter, Koichi and a friend of his named Senorn. The chase ended with the bounty hunter’s escape and a skyway disaster with lives lost as Hanako was later on was taken to the Iramasha Island. Apparently even in another world, fate is against her as she was shortly arrested for assaulting a member of the Iramasha Council, which was forgiven after Hanako mistook him for an enemy and fired her pistol at him, which Senorn evaded before pardoning her. From what she can tell, an assistant to one of the leaders pressed the charges against her because even when forgiven, she had to be tried properly before she is fully pardoned for the attack; however Hanako noticed a shadow in that assistant when the other Iramasha around her did not do the same. This time, what she planned is in motion and Hanako had to figure out what are her plans then.

Life just gets weirder and Hanako ended up in prison for a mistake as she is awaiting trial, but when an opportunity came in form of the jailkeeper opening her cell, Hanako learned that someone (most likely Koichi) is trying to bust her out and the jailkeeper is not allowing it by trying to execute her. Given the jailkeeper takes form of a green troll riding on an American Chopper and wearing pink shirt with blue jeans with sunglasses, Hanako could not take him seriously as a threat and fled down the hallway, where she met up with Koichi and his helpers. She and Koichi escaped, but Hanako was sent back home in Karakura Central to lay low and she did so by accepting Yuu’s help in getting a pub going so she can still make some money. Apparently keeping things to a low key is just not her strong suit for what to come.

Hanako responded to a wanted notice on the bounty board for someone in the slums. When she gets there, turned out that Shadin Yuudeshi already beaten her to the punch and killed her mark, which disappointed her, but Shadin promised to compensate her for the loss. During the transaction, Hanako found a notebook on the ground with cryptic messages; utilizing her puzzle-solving skills, she deduced that the message was from “Yakko Grim” after watching an old cartoon with her former master called, “Animaniacs.” This led to a confrontation which is believed to be against Yakko Grim, but was corrected to be Yako Grim. Before the fight escalated, Yako Grim was incapacitated by Shadin to allow Hanako to quickly arrest him, despite that she did not know who Yako Grim is working for, but Shadin did (she think). As a twist in this circumstance, an alien portal appeared and sucked Yako Grim along with Hanako into the world of the Kokuryuteshi or “K-World.” After a few weeks spent in captivity, Hanako took a chance in finding an escape when they took her to the park as a way to comfort her after witnessing an execution of a rescuer. This led to the same portal that took her from Karakura Central, but then it took her to Iramasha Island, where Koichi saved her from a fall off of one of the spires above the Royal Devil Iramasha Mansion. As the fight to reclaim her for the K-World is in action, Hanako fled into the mansion to alert the guards, but she sprained her ankle in the rush (as she is not used to wearing heels). As she was laying on the ground, a demon approached her and claimed himself to be her father, but despite the pain and desperation, she can already see through the lie. Before she could protest or call for help, she was taken to the guest room, where are ankle is treated and Koichi later on entering the room to check on her. After the brief encounter with the demon later known as TelcinVohlis, Hanako ended up with more questions than answers as to what is going on and why she seemed to be walking into a corny conspiracy play.

After her recovery, she heard about a lost island being found rising out of the ocean on Earth. Her response was immediate initiative to help the Iramasha reclaim the island as a thank you for helping her not-get-captured-again. When the battle gone on in the background relative to Hanako, Hanako was searching in a ruin for any relic or gems belonging to the Iramasha Clan, but she realized that she was followed by three individuals, a demoness known as Hadriel Duran, a traitor Primera named Nino and the terrorist from the Osaka Massacre, Mr. Caveman. Knowing that she cannot fight them while they are together, Hanako fled deep into the ruins while hoping that she could buy enough time for Koichi and the others to back her up. That decision led her into a chapel-like room where she faced off with her pursuers, but Nino and Hadriel decided to leave the “capture” to the man who previously tried to kill her before back at Osaka. As her situation stood, the way out will lead to two powerful enemies and staying will lead to dying to the man who could take on an army on his own just by raw combat prowess; Hanako chose to strengthen her will and resolve as she had to try and defeat Mr. Caveman on her own. The fight eventually caused a transformation where her senses became numbed and all her personality went dull as she was forced to become a hollowed state of herself to fight that monster. This was the time that Hanako deemed to be the moment that she experienced power that she thought is impossible to attain this early being as who she is; the power that matched her up with Mr. Caveman’s immense prowess without any prior training or assistance, but it is also the power that she felt that she had no control over it as she was effectively killing Mr. Caveman against her own will. The fight ended with Mr. Caveman incapacitated or dead as Hanako spared no time to determine if he is really dead, she instead chose to run back to the ruin’s entrance and try to meet up with Koichi and her reinforcement.

Upon arrival, her reinforcement did come, but not before Hanako was cornered by the former Espada and his Fraccion. During the conflict, Hanako was introduced to Ichigo Kurosaki who helped Koichi defeat Nino, but since his body was yet to be found, it is unknown if he survived and retreated or was obliterated. Considering her luck of encountering stronger enemies and lost control during the encounter, Hanako requested to be sent back to Hanako’s Pub in Karakura Central to recuperate. From thereon, Hanako began dating with Koichi until her “hollow side” took over one night when Koichi joined her for the night. All while the real Hanako was asleep, the hollow side named “Okanah” united with Koichi. It is believed that humanity are creatures of both light and dark, order and chaos; Hanako’s other self was Hanako’s chaos and darkness where nothing is uncertain and unexplained, Okanah just performs without telling as if she was the deepest desires that Hanako kept to herself for so long after meeting the surrealism of her life. When Hanako arose from her slumber, she eventually learned that she was impregnated by Koichi and memories of the night was gently given to her, which made her believed that it was her own decision as it is difficult for her to tell the difference between herself and Okanah; as Yuu said, “It is because I’m the devil while your mother is the angel.”

After nine months, she gave birth to quints or five children and she and Koichi named them; Hideki, Ren, InuYasha, Alice and Hikaru. However, with the growing chaos around the world, Koichi’s job as the leader of the Iramasha Elite Guards became more demanding, much to Hanako’s dismay as she spent a lot of her time as the bartender and mother of five with Koichi’s best friend, Kabuto helping her. Eventually, Hanako noticed a call to arms for defense at Malaysia from Mana’s army and the army from the Kokuryuteshi. By then, she already came back from a spiritual journey in Osaka in order to understand her powers better (but failed to fully understand them as she later realized too late later on). She made arrangements to have her kids passed to the Yuudeshi Clan and the Iramasha Clan to keep them from being targeted if Hanako would attract the wrong enemy; TelcinVohlis is of little concerns to her as she learned of his demise at the hands of two Vanguard leaders, Genpaku and Foiche--yet again--they said that he was obliterated, but with his body not found to confirm it, Hanako keeps in mind that TelcinVohlis may have been recovering from his grievous injuries at the moment.

Despite the warnings given to her by her mother’s ghost, Hanako went straight to where Mana would be as she thought that she is able to take on the Queen of Shadow Fall and break the organization enough to afford a period of relief for the allies in Karakura Central, including the Iramasha Clan. At first, Hanako was finding herself being the mouse in the cat-&-mouse game as she was clearly in a disadvantage. During the fight, Hanako was then fighting against two fronts, Mana and Okanah. With some of her on-field allies getting injured and Mana absorbing power from her mechanized black tower, Hanako was forced to call her allies to fall back while she keeps their passage of escape cleared. As for Hanako, she is staying to use her Goddess State when she is too internally conflicted to use it correctly, thus giving her a very short period of its use. When her time is up, Hanako vanished from the battle, leaving Mana almost defeated and astonished by the feat of power.

She was later rescued in middle of the Karakura Graveyard by Koichi and allies and was taken into rehabilitation in the Iramasha Island, where her friends and Koichi’s friends visited her with Koichi from time to time to show support in her recovery; Yuu visited her to help her understand her newfound powers that nearly killed her because she was not ready. During the recovery, Yuu explained her theory to Koichi and Hanako that Hanako’s powers are fluid and cannot take form until it is agitated by spiritual events such as Hanako’s spiritual journey and her fight against Mana. Yuu even theorized that Hanako’s powers are not all that different from Yuu’s in term of source behavior. Thus it began as training to reshape her powers and to understand her own darkness, Okanah.

At one point, she shown progression of recovery when she quickly responded and decimated a woman named Shiki for impersonating her while trying to seduce Koichi; the punishment was death by Destroyer Dive.

Current
She is currently just exited rehabilitation with her newly reformed powers, but with questions yet to be answered, thus she intended to solve her mysteries at her own pace with Koichi hopefully helping her like he usually does.
