Hana

"Should I incapacitate her? Neh, the dragon protects her, see? But if we approach this carefully, she could be of great use..."

- Saeyuku and Sōsaku Yawarakai discussing Hana.


 * "Innocent flower basking in the sun" - Kai no Kimi

Hana (花, Hana; lit. "flower") is one of the, if not the, last Suhina that Sōsaku Yawarakai has persuaded into joining his cause, mainly to exploit her ancient and mysterious set of abilities. Hana herself is a very young, even by Shinigami terms, and has yet to understand the true intentions of Sōsaku and his band, seeing them as nothing but a loving foster family.

What happened to Hana's parents is unknown, and she doesn't seem to possess any other acquaintances except for the dragon that accompanies her, which she appositely calls Nii-san (お兄さん, Big Brother).

Personality
Hana is portrayed as very cheery and ignorant, something considered quite normal for the childlike age she physically has. Even so, her ignorance stretches sometimes far beyond belief, shown by her inability to recognize the Eijiru as criminals, despite witnessing obvious acts such as vandalism, theft and the massacre of innocents. She is very fond of donning nicknames to people, referring to Sōsaku as Otō-san (お父さん, Father), and to Saeyuku as Sa-Sa, because she deems his full name to hard to pronounce.

Hana is very tender and kind to the people around her, caring much for Sōsaku and often getting worried when he's fighting. She is incredibly supportive of him, shouting at his enemies and praising his powers, but also listening immediately when he tells her to back off. She looks up to him as a hero, because he "saved" her from the gutter and gave her a home. Hana's innocence makes it almost impossible for even the cruelest of enemies to involve her in a battle, generally leaving her out of any potential danger.

Uguisu
Uguisu (鴬, Nightingale) is the term used to refer to the spells of the Suhina, usually administered through the use of songs and poems. Because Hana hasn't received any official training within this area and because of her youth, she is very unversed in Uguisu, making her capable of only one spell unconsciously.
 * Kōbika (交尾歌, Attraction Song); Hana is capable of using this song through a tune she's almost constantly humming, seeing it is the only thing she can remember before she met Sōsaku. When she experiences great emotional distress, it summons a green-maned, white chinese dragon. The dragon is very protective of Hana, assaulting anyone who nears her with great force and incredible ferocity. Hana cheerily calls the dragon Nii-san (お兄さん, Big Brother), and often caresses him when she's sad. The dragon has the ability to fly and carry Hana on it's back, and can project a fiery beam of energy from it's mouth, as well as control earth and water.

Behind the Scenes
Hana's appearance and that of her dragon originate from Spirited Away's Chihoro and Kohaku, respectively.
