About

「Shakuso (The Blade Without Me)」 Can a single blade cut through this endless night? She seeks only an answer, continuing to walk forward with unwavering resolve. Countless wishes, lost and shattered into fragments, have melted into her blood; they still burn hot, pulsing with every beat of her heart. As Hiyuki's own power grows, after applying the Frostbite effect, her Resonance abilities are strengthened by 1.35x. Her Resonance Liberation damage ignores 15% of the target's defense, regardless of how heavily armored they are. Targets within a certain range receive a 25% damage boost to Frostbite damage. These effects last for 6 seconds and can be triggered once every 0.1 seconds. 「Hiyuki」 A "Shrine Maiden of the Scorching Sakura" from Ashinohara. Currently, she resides in Rahairoi as the sole member of the Special Countermeasures Unit. Gender: Female. Origin: Ashinohara. Affiliation: Shrine Maiden of the Scorching Sakura. 「Interests」 "In my spare time, I carve wooden dolls. Sculpture is an accumulation of many small steps... thus, it allows me to empty my mind and find stillness. Furthermore, no matter the wood, if you put in the effort, it yields a result. In this world today, there are few things that reward you as much as the labor you expend." 「Favorite Food」 "When it comes to tea, Ashinohara's Gyokuro is supreme. When I was young and stole a sip from an adult's teacup, it was merely bitter... but once I came to understand the beauty of its pure fragrance, I found myself craving that initial bitterness instead." 「Disliked Food」 "Sweets... and not because I prefer subtle flavors. It is simply that tasting something sweet evokes bitter memories. Because the happy days were so sweet... the pain of losing them runs deep." 「Dreams」 "My wish... I pray that a 'Shrine Maiden of the Scorching Sakura' never appears again. The destiny intertwined with the Echoes must not be repeated... or perhaps, what I truly seek is a world where everyone can live as an ordinary person." Much of Ashinohara was devastated by the Lament, and perhaps because of that, discrimination and prejudice against Resonators are prominent there. 「Ashinohara」 Rather than a traditional Japanese aesthetic focused on kimonos and wooden architecture, it seems to be modeled after modern Japanese landscapes. Since the ratio of Resonators is lower compared to other nations, those with the power to harm others—carrying the 'Overclock' bomb that could explode at any time—are seen by the public as nothing more than 'un-timed bombs.'
