Description
Homura Kōgetsu is a human swordswoman from the planet Oedo, distinguished by her long navy blue hair tied in a high ponytail with a yellow ribbon, dark-brown eyes, a beauty mark under her left eye, and a curvaceous figure. Her attire varies, primarily featuring a sleeveless yellow kimono with red flower-like designs, loose forearm sleeves, and knee-length black stockings. Alternate outfits include a light-colored kimono worn during the Digitalis arc and a bunny girl-inspired outfit on Mildian.
Abandoned on Oedo by her mother, Kurenai Kōgetsu, who left her only a stuffed animal, Homura was later rescued from traffickers bound for Guilst by Valkyrie Yuna of the Four Shining Stars. Valkyrie became her mentor, training her in the Ether Gear "Soul Blade" for creating and manipulating ether-based blades, and sharing tales of the Edens Zero starship and its captain, the Demon King. Valkyrie eventually departed Oedo to search for Kurenai after facing discrimination, prompting Homura's own quest to find her mentor.
Homura maintains a calm demeanor and speaks directly, often unintentionally voicing her thoughts aloud, which can seem rude. She finds keeping secrets difficult and endures hot temperatures poorly. A strong sense of justice motivates her, and she relishes challenging formidable opponents, expressing particular interest in facing the Demon King. Despite her composure, she exhibits intense anger when provoked, such as encountering replicas of Valkyrie.
She joined the Edens Zero crew during the Guilst arc, aiding Shiki Granbell and Weisz Steiner in rescuing B-cubers. Homura bargained ship access from Weisz in exchange for her help, formally introducing herself as an Ether Gear user. Key combat feats there include bisecting a heat-seeking missile and defeating Rogue Out soldiers. On Digitalis, Galactic Intelligence Agency agent Amira imprisoned Homura and impersonated her. Homura escaped, confronted Amira, and deflected a bullet to expose her.
The Sun Jewel arc revealed Valkyrie's death. Homura inherited her mentor's title as the "Sword of Edens," adopting the name "Valkyrie Homura" in her honor. This arc also involved confronting her mother, Kurenai, who exploited Sun Jewel's citizens. Later, within Universe 0—a temporal convergence influencing all realities—Homura discovered Valkyrie alive and learned Kurenai genuinely loved her, resolving core conflicts about family and acceptance.
Her combat abilities focus on Soul Blade techniques:
- **Leopard Stance**: Splits her sword into two blades for rapid slashes.
- **Leopard Claw Frenzy**: Executes wide-range cuts capable of severing thick obstacles.
- **Dragon Flash**: A lunging attack combining a downward spin and slash.
- **Snake Strike/Snake Bite**: Delivers rapid thrusts or a single empowered pierce.
- **Odin Strike**: Summons and launches numerous ether blades simultaneously.
Additional skills include enhanced reflexes for dodging bullets, high-speed agility, and horseback riding. As an Edens Zero crew member, Homura prioritizes protecting allies and contributes to missions like locating Mother, serving as a foundational combatant within the team.
