Hanyu

Standing fairly tall with a muscular frame, Hanyu sports long, light-colored hair that spills down her back and morphs in shape whenever her cursed technique kicks in. Her eyes are small and dark, set under dark brows that don't match the lighter tone of her hair.

For clothing she favors a cropped tank top that bares her midriff, worn with cargo pants and combat boots. A wristband, a walkie-talkie clipped to her shirt, and a pair of aviator goggles complete the look, the goggles shielding her eyes during flight.

Little of Hanyu's inner character has surfaced, but her conduct after nearly two weeks inside the Culling Game reveals someone who does whatever survival demands. She strong-armed Rin Amai into serving as her errand boy, threatening his life to keep him in line, and she and Haba made a habit of ambushing fresh arrivals while they were still rattled from the transfer. Killing carries no weight for her, and Rin himself believed she would have disposed of him in the end once he had outlived his usefulness.

Marked by Kenjaku earlier in her life, Hanyu had her brain altered on the night of October 31, 2018 so she could develop a cursed technique ahead of the game. The result was a sorcerer of below-average power equipped with a hair-based ability that lets her rocket through the air and strike at high velocity, forceful enough to drive a target clean through a building. She could menace someone as helpless as Rin, yet she stood no chance against an opponent of Yuji's caliber. Her unnamed innate technique, dubbed Airplane Hair, reshapes her hair into a jet plane fitted with fiery boosters, concentrating most of her cursed energy into that region; the trade-off is that the rest of her body, left thinly protected, becomes vulnerable while the technique is active. When she charged Yuji, smashing through two buildings, his sheer toughness let him survive, and a cursed-energy-laced chunk of rubble he hurled back knocked her out.
