Description
Nazuna Hiwatashi, initially a human student with orange hair and red eyes, shares a close bond with Michiru Kagemori as they dream of pop stardom. A bicycle accident results in a beastman DNA transfusion, mutating Nazuna into a kitsune with pink hair, fox ears, and a dual-toned facial pattern. Abducted by Sylvasta Pharmaceuticals, she is "rescued" by Boris Cliff, who molds her into "Déesse Louve"—a fabricated leader for the Silver Wolf Order cult masquerading as the guardian Ginrou.
Guided by Boris, Nazuna embraces a detached, authority-driven identity, justifying her manipulative tactics as necessary to inspire Anima City’s beastmen. Her enhanced abilities include shapeshifting into a lupine form reminiscent of Ginrou, emitting hypnotic light auras, generating massive "Gorilla Punch" limbs, and flying via avian wings—an anomaly among beastmen.
Her friendship with Michiru fractures under cult pressures, with Nazuna condemning Michiru’s perceived condescension while privately clinging to shared memories and unspoken longing for reconciliation. Envy over Michiru’s new alliances exposes insecurities deepened by Boris’s psychological control.
A pivotal Silver Wolf concert sees Boris engineering a Nirvasyl Syndrome outbreak. Nazuna rebels by concealing her human origins, then confronts her culpability after witnessing Michiru’s near-fatal encounter with Shirou Ogami. Post-crisis, she aids in healing afflicted beastmen, repudiates Boris’s authority, and discards her cult persona by reclaiming her birth name.
Reinventing herself post-redemption, Nazuna adopts a subdued aesthetic—white hair, gray hoodie, and black sweatpants—while serving as Anima City’s mascot and bridge-building idol. Though collaborating with Michiru to mend societal divides, she grapples with lingering remorse. Her evolution from exploited proxy to autonomous advocate underscores her reclaimed agency.
Nazuna’s trauma from Sylvasta’s experiments and Boris’s coercive isolation fuels her earlier harmful behavior. Explored across the main series and prequel novel *BNA - Zero: Beasts That Can't Become Even Better*, her narrative intertwines with systemic beastman oppression, framing her recovery as a testament to resilience amid exploitation and the arduous path to self-forgiveness.
