Princess Hibana, formally Hibana, captains Special Fire Force Company 5. She grew up an orphan at Holy Sol Temple with Iris, standing apart as its sole pyrokinetic resident. As a child, she conjured fiery blossoms to soothe fellow sisters, though she lacked their devotion to the Sun God. A catastrophic fire from spontaneous human combustion ravaged the temple, sparing only Hibana and Iris while claiming others. This trauma shattered her faith, cementing her view of fire as pure evil and driving her toward scientific study of Infernals. Abandoning Iris to pursue power and vengeance, she traded infernal research to Haijima Industries for command of Company 5. Her investigations later exposed Sister Sumire—an Evangelist operative—as orchestrating the temple blaze, transforming nuns into Infernals rather than killing them. Hibana bears light brown skin, shoulder-length light pink hair, and blue eyes with distinct pink flower-shaped pupils. Her signature attire blends elegance and exposure: a pearl-white sleeveless dress with a thigh-high split, layered with a fur-trimmed black jacket, high heels, and an iron fan. The number "5" always marks her garments, signifying company loyalty. Earlier, she wore a nun’s habit at the temple. Initially manipulative, sadistic, and domineering, Hibana scorned subordinates—dubbing men "gravel"—and performed cruel experiments on sentient Infernals, espousing "evil to fight evil." Shinra Kusakabe’s heroism during their clash sparked a transformation, reawakening childhood ideals. This softened her demeanor, unveiling compassion and shifting her focus from vengeance to justice. She developed romantic feelings for Shinra and reconnected with Iris, though vestiges of pride and arrogance lingered. Despite evolution, she maintained cynicism toward entities like Haijima Industries and occasional lewd conduct. A former Third Generation pyrokinetic, Hibana wields the Ignition Ability Clematis to generate and control flower-shaped flames. Her techniques include Cherry Blossom, launching petal-like projectiles, and Cherry Blossom Snowstorm, encircling foes with slicing embers. She manipulates ambient heat to neutralize flame-based powers and induce Heat Syncope—disrupting temperature regulation to cause collapse. Her combat style emphasizes precision over force, leveraging scientific insight to dissect opponents. However, she lacks formal combat training and physical resilience, relying on strategy. Her exceptional intellect fuels complex chemical flame applications and tactical operations, like infiltrating Company 1 to expose artificial Infernal production. Key involvements include overseeing the Rookie Fire Soldier Games, capturing sentient Infernal Setsuo Miyamoto for tests, and confronting Sister Sumire to unravel spontaneous combustion’s truth. Hibana discovered combustion occurs when humans overlap with Adolla doppelgängers and that the Great Cataclysm was the Evangelist’s bid to remake Earth into a sun. She continues aiding Company 8’s inquiries while seeking justice for her sisters.
