Description
Born in Mikawa to Honda Masanobu, Masazumi Honda was destined to lead a Matsudaira retainer family. Historical precedent requiring a male heir led her to undergo preparatory gender reassignment, including a mastectomy resulting in a flat chest. This process halted abruptly when Lord Motonobu Matsudaira exiled his subjects in favor of automatons, leaving her transition incomplete. Her family then relocated to Musashi. Years later, her mother vanished under circumstances described as "spirited away," prompting Masazumi to take a position teaching elementary pupils.
Physically, she possesses long black hair, dark brown eyes, and a slim build, marked by the absence of developed breasts. She modified the standard male uniform by shortening the top to her midriff, later adopting the girls' tightsuit while initially retaining slacks.
Her personality reflects seriousness and strict adherence to rules, forged by paternal pressure toward a political career. This intense focus often causes her to neglect personal needs like meals, leading to fainting spells. Though historically at odds with Toori Aoi, she gradually develops concern for him. Her core aspiration is becoming a skilled politician to fulfill her father's expectations.
On April 20, 1648 (Testament Era), the automaton P-01s discovered Masazumi starving at the Blue Thunder shop. The shopkeeper directed her to investigate Remorse Way to understand Toori's past. While cleaning the Honda cenotaph, she encountered P-01s again and recounted painful memories of her mother's disappearance. Later, escorting Academy President Tadatsugu Sakai to Mikawa, she received a box intended to lure Toori past Remorse Way. During this task, she overheard her father discussing the path's history, deepening her unresolved questions.
That night, she witnessed the Mikawa crisis where P-01s was revealed as Horizon Ariadust, Lord Motonobu's daughter. Forced into rapid decisions during K.P.A. Italia's intervention, Masazumi chose to leave P-01s with the invaders and subdued Toori to prevent escalation. The next day, she retained her position as Student Council Vice-President after other leaders lost political standing following Horizon's execution announcement.
Class 3-Plum leveraged her position to advance Horizon's rescue. During a formal student contention, Masazumi debated Toori, who unexpectedly argued against saving Horizon. She countered by advocating rescue to preserve Musashi's sovereignty, asserting war might be unavoidable regardless due to potential poverty deaths. Challenged by questions sourced from her father, she discarded prepared notes, arguing Horizon bore no responsibility for the Mikawa meltdown as she wasn't Motonobu's legal heir at the time and lacked memory of her past. Masazumi condemned the Testament Union's system as monstrous and proposed annexing Mikawa to Musashi to nullify blame.
When Pope Innocentius attacked her arguments, disparaging her family's political failures and incomplete gender transition, Toori intervened with antics but declared full support. Masazumi reframed the rescue as benefiting all nations by normalizing history recreation, preventing apocalypse through gathering Horizon's Mortal Sin Armaments, and offering non-aggressive cooperation. This culminated in her participation in Horizon's rescue operation, where she diverted Innocentius during the assault.
