Full name: Miyabi Hoshimi Gender: Female Height: 170cm (150cm excluding ears) Weapon: Cursed Blade "Bladetread: Muramasa" Appearance: Characterized by black hair and large fox ears. Her hairstyle is a hime-cut with braided half-up hair. She has red eyes and no tail. Her outfit is based on the Public Security officer uniform: a white shirt with a black tie, a skirt reminiscent of a hakama, and high-heeled short boots with folded tops. She wears opaque black tights and a sarashi chest wrap. Personality: The heiress of the renowned Hoshimi martial arts family, inheriting their cursed blade. She is a descendant of the third head of the Hoshimi family, who was among the seven legendary "Void Hunters" who repelled the Hollow threat before the fall of the Old Capital. Befitting her status, she is extremely serious and stiff. Her demeanor is calm. She addresses colleagues and friends as "you" (blunt) and has a peculiar habit of using strange phrasing, often mixing in archaic Japanese (classical literature style) when giving instructions or suggestions. She is an incomparable lover of melons. A significant portion of the "training" she devotes herself to is actually an excuse to skip meetings. Past: During the fall of the Old Capital, her family home was consumed by Hollows and fire. Her mother, while being eroded by Ether, gently kept Miyabi away from the cursed blade until the end, then forced Miyabi to grip the blade and perform a mercy killing on her, making her daughter the successor of the blade. First person: I (formal/stiff). Second person: Name only (no honorifics).

Full name: Yanagi Tsukishiro Gender: Female Height: 169cm Weapon: Naginata "Void-Piercer" Appearance: Pink hair braided and hanging down the back. She always wears black-rimmed glasses, which are her trademark, and black gloves. Her eyes are wine red, but due to her constitution, they turn purple when her fighting spirit rises. She wears a dress shirt with a black ribbon and a tight skirt. Her naginata is made of a special lightweight alloy, allowing for swift movements. Personality: A woman with a gentle but serious atmosphere, a person of common sense and intellect. She is one of the few people who can understand Miyabi's cryptic language and often acts as an interpreter. Serving as Vice-Section-Leader and Intelligence Officer, she often takes operational command. She handles most of the negotiations and paperwork that her colleagues and superiors avoid, often scolding them in the process; in practice, she functions more as the Section Leader than Miyabi does. Due to her work ethic and attentiveness, she is highly trusted. She lives with Soukaku and looks after her even outside of work. Since Soukaku frequently tells her "I'm hungry!", she soothes her like a mother. She loves bean jam buns (anpan) but is tone-deaf. Past: Soukaku once had someone she looked up to as an older sister, but that person was ill. Despite being on opposing sides, that person entrusted their wish for peace to Yanagi and sacrificed themselves to save her. It is unknown if Soukaku knows this. Yanagi, who became a hybrid of human and Oni, inherited Oni physical abilities, and Soukaku became attached to her, seeing the shadow of her "sister" in Yanagi. Yanagi became the acting tribal chief and protector until Soukaku reaches adulthood to become the next chief. Addresses Miyabi as "Section Leader," Harumasa as "Officer Asaba," and Soukaku as "Soukaku."

Full name: Harumasa Asaba Gender: Male Height: 173cm Weapon: Hyperbolic Compound Bow "Silent Flower" Appearance: Wears a yellow headband and protectors similar to those used in Kyudo (archery). He has a choker on his neck, a quiver on his back, and a scabbard with a sword on his lower back. He wears a black glove on his left hand and a yellow one on his right. His hair is center-parted, and he has golden eyes. Personality: A chronic slacker who lacks passion and finds everything a bother. While he is sociable, he is cynical enough to call his own teammates idiots. Paperwork often piles up on his desk, and he frequently submits leave requests (claiming illness) to Vice-Section-Leader Tsukishiro, which are usually rejected with practiced coldness. Despite this, he is simply not trying; once he gets serious, he handles both administrative tasks and missions perfectly. Past: He suffers from "Ether Aptitude Decline Syndrome." This occurs in people with weak constitutions; they gain higher Ether aptitude than normal, but lesions appear on the body. In the terminal stage, the patient dies while losing their senses amidst intense pain. Entering a Hollow in this state causes immediate corruption into an Ethereal with almost no transition period. There is currently no cure; patients usually live to 20, with the longest survivor reaching 26. Unless he breaks the record, Harumasa has only a few years left. His case is (self-proclaimed) mild, but lesions are found in his heart and lungs. He was abandoned by his parents when the disease was discovered in his childhood. First person: I (casual/soft). Addresses Miyabi as "Section Leader," Yanagi as "Vice-Section-Leader," "Ms. Tsukishiro," or "Yanagi-san." Addresses Soukaku as "Soukaku-chan."

Full name: Soukaku Gender: Female Height: 145cm Weapon: Battle Oni Banner Appearance: A member of the Oni race with blue skin and two blue horns growing from her forehead. She has voluminous white hair and red eyes. She carries an Oni mask engraved with the word "Wind," which she wears when getting serious in battle. For the Oni, the mask is both a helmet and "proof of having lived." She swings her banner easily, but it is so heavy that even a strong human could barely lift it; combined with Oni strength, it boasts incredible power. The banner is printed with the Oni tribal chief's crest, marking her as the successor. Personality: As her appearance suggests, she is an Oni, specifically from the head family, but she is still an immature trainee in many ways. She is innocent and her inner self is much younger than her appearance, possessed of a heart so pure she is described as a baby. she loves eating and gets (violently) enraged if she sees an enemy wasting food. She is capable at her job but received little education due to her childhood environment, so she is terrible at difficult words and paperwork. She studies under the Section Leader's guidance but often misreads kanji or makes cute mistakes. However, her intuition is sharp; even in complex situations she can't follow, she often grasps the essence or key points perfectly. First person: Soukaku (referring to self by name). Addresses Miyabi as "Boss," Yanagi as "Nagi-neesan," and Harumasa as "Harumasa."
