Hakuhyō
CharacterHakuhyō was the young son of Kahyō, a boy born with the Ice Release bloodline who fled Kirigakure with his mother for a gentler life in the Land of Waves. His death, brought on by a wartime shortage of healers, became the spark that formed the Ryuha Armament Alliance.
History
Hoping to spare Hakuhyō the cruelty and dark customs that shadowed his birth, Kahyō took her son out of Kirigakure, and the two found a stretch of happiness in the Land of Waves. That peace ended when the boy used his ice to save a friend from a swarm of hornets and was stung in the process. Rather than thank him, the friend recoiled from anyone with such strange powers and walked away. Kahyō went searching for a doctor, but every healer had been snapped up by the Allied Shinobi Forces, and without treatment Hakuhyō succumbed to his wounds.
Personality
Fiercely devoted to his friend, Hakuhyō was willing to shield him at the cost of his own safety. Even as he lay dying, he kept murmuring warnings and advice for the boy, never grasping that the friend had long since turned his back on him.
