Princess Hibana, formally Captain of Special Fire Force Company 5, is a Third Generation pyrokinetic raised in the Holy Sol Temple orphanage alongside Iris and other sisters. As the sole pyrokinetic there, she initially created fiery flowers to spread joy and demonstrated scientific aptitude by altering flame colors through chemistry. A devastating temple fire killed nearly all residents except Hibana and Iris, shattering Hibana’s faith in the Sun God. Viewing fire purely as destruction, she abandoned Iris to pursue vengeance, conducting experiments on Infernals and trading research with Haijima Industries for resources and her captaincy. Initially manipulative, sadistic, and domineering, Hibana exhibited a sovereign complex toward men and relished inflicting pain during experiments. She justified her cruelty as necessary to combat evil, believing she must become a "demon." A confrontation with Shinra Kusakabe challenged this outlook, reminding her of fire’s potential for heroism and rekindling aspects of her childhood self. She grew kinder, more open emotionally, and actively repaired her friendship with Iris. Despite this shift, she retained a commanding presence in combat and leadership, often masking compassion with pride-driven excuses. She developed indirect romantic feelings for Shinra. While suspicious of organizations like Haijima, she maintained strategic alliances. Hibana wields the Ignition Ability "Clematis," generating intricate flower-like flames—typically cherry blossoms—from her hands or an iron fan. Her techniques include "Cherry Blossom Snowstorm," where swirling petals cut targets, and precise heat manipulation inducing "Heat Syncope" to cause dizziness, fainting, or paralysis across multiple foes. Her scientific expertise lets her analyze opponents’ powers and exploit weaknesses, such as nullifying illusions by heating air. However, lacking combat training and endurance, she has low durability; one solid strike can incapacitate her. She explicitly rejects combat training, identifying solely as a researcher. Physically, Hibana is a light-brown-skinned young woman with shoulder-length light-pink hair, blue eyes featuring distinctive pink flower-shaped pupils, and a notably curvaceous figure. She wears a white sleeveless dress with a high left-leg slit, a black belt holding her fan and whip, high heels, and a personalized fur-trimmed black jacket adorned with blue lines and a Company 5 insignia patch. She consistently exudes elegance and authority. As Company 5 Captain, she commands with strict authority, initially viewing subordinates as tools. Her leadership involves strategic observation—like monitoring the Rookie Fire Soldier Games—and intervening in conflicts such as the capture of the sentient Infernal Setsuo Miyamoto. After her alignment shift, she actively cooperates with Company 8, providing intelligence and support in investigations of the Evangelist and spontaneous human combustion. Her scientific research into Infernals remains central to her role, even as her motivations evolve toward seeking justice for her past.
