Description
Hiro, the half-human, half-demon daughter of Janus, witnesses her father's assassination. The Demon Lord who ruled Neverland for nearly 1,000 years falls to the human rebel Chiffon wielding the god-slaying sword Tenmaken. This act ignites the First Neverland War and propels Hiro into leadership to defend her father's legacy and demonkind's sovereignty.
Initially consumed by hatred for humanity after her father's murder, Hiro's perspective shifts through encounters with human allies. Her fiercely loyal bodyguard Sato and mercenaries like Chic, serving in her demon army, reveal that not all humans are enemies. These relationships complicate her worldview.
Strategic alliances become vital for survival in the continental conflict. Hiro negotiates with Azalea, leader of the forest elf land Pliesta, and seeks support from Orochimaru, ruler of the island nation Muromachi. These efforts underscore her evolution into a military leader navigating fragmented politics. A crucial alliance forms with Muromachi warrior Simba, whose aid proves essential against threats like Mugen, the God of the Underworld.
Hiro's development intensifies confronting Jadou, her banished half-brother. Resentful of demonkind's treatment, Jadou seeks to create a demon-exclusive world, aided by Little Snow, a summoned human from Earth who becomes his loyal magic user. Hiro battles Jadou, with narrative branches exploring a potential outcome where she chooses mercy over vengeance, sparing him. This forces her to reconcile familial loyalty with wider ethical dilemmas.
Over time, Hiro transitions from isolationist vengeance toward cautious cooperation. Relying on human allies in Muromachi and accepting Simba's help signifies a reluctant acknowledgment of humanity's varied trustworthiness. Yet this growth is tempered by disillusionment; post-war, humans revert to oppressing demons, sowing seeds for future conflict. Her arc concludes not with resolution but in ongoing ambassadorial roles. In later IF Neverland timelines, she becomes a roving figure, often aiding those aligned with justice while acknowledging the cyclical nature of interspecies strife.
