Physical Description:
Hotaru is what is known as an Amanojaku, an Oni-like creature often seen as a heavenly evil spirit. As such, it is rather natural for her to possess traits that could be seen only very rarely in humans or even other non-humans. Her hair is pitch-black and easily reaches all the way to her lower back while a number of strands over her forehead and around this area are colored in shades of red and white. From beneath this silken hair, a pair of short white horns is sticking out - the first sign of something unusual. The second one being her crimson red eyes that appear the faintly glow in the dark, pupils long and thin, very reminiscent of the feline species. The skin of her fairly small, only 5.2 feet tall, body is also almost unnaturally pale, nearly snow white and slightly cold to the touch. Even her build can appear fairly fragile at first, though it is very fit for battle despite outer appearances. Because of this, she often chooses black clothing that contrasts rather well with her visage. She mainly wears kimonos and yukatas that can be specifically adjusted to fit for a lot of movement during combat or even outside of it. Aside from required clothes, she can also sometimes be spotted with capes or another kimono covering her back for the sake of appearing all the more alluring to those around her. But with that said, she is not afraid to dress in something completely different to this norm and can be sometimes even seen wearing completely different colors, such as white and other bright colors, for example.
Mental Description:
It is extremely difficult to truly describe Hotaru’s mental state. The simplest and most fitting word for her could be Unstable. As an Amanojaku, she is naturally driven in the direction of deceiving and harming others, subconsciously attempting to draw out their darkest desires and use those against them. As such, she can often come across as deceiving and even perverse in certain ways. But on more than one occasion, she had tried to fight against this behavior that seems to be engraved in her very being. This can result in actual acts of kindness being displayed even by a creature such as this. However, Hotaru is still very much a solitary creature that tries to isolate herself from others, despite often desiring the company of someone who could perhaps understand her. An internal conflict between trying to chase others or utterly destroy them and be nice or loving is everlasting within her.
But when presented with a situation that could be considered dangerous and even life-threatening, she is much more collected. Often appearing as completely and utterly cold-blooded, Hotaru never hesitates to take a life of another as long as they wronged her in some way, even if it is by the simplest act of looking at her in the wrong way. She is still a blood-thirsty monster that wears a visage similar to a regular human after all. In certain situations, she can even turn to torturing her opponents both physically and mentally on the battlefield, playing with them and in the end, completely obliterating them.

History:
Hotaru’s earliest memories start with the bare and bland walls with an orphanage. She herself is not quite sure how demons such as herself are born into this world, but she knows that she did not have any parents. Left in the house for those with no natural families, she was left to her own devices and feared by most due to her ghastly appearance. But unlike so many others, this did not make her grow spiteful of others or herself and what she was. She appreciated the solitude and bathed in it fully, spending all of her time on studies instead of playing with other children. And not only did she study to increase her mental prowess, but also the physical one. Especially tower her older years in the orphanage, most of her time became dedicated to studying of martial arts and increasing of physique in general. Things like long runs, dancing on a giant wooden pendulum or even fighting with a wooden sword were no strangers to her. Driven by her own blood, she absolutely had to become strong, if not the best around. But this personal training of hers was cut short, however. As she was scouted out to be one of the chosen 100 children that would attend the Academy of Cloud.
There, she seemed to almost fit right in. As only limited amount of students could be chosen to attend a place like this, they all had to be exceptional in their own ways. After all, they were to be turned into ninjas that could be called invincible by regular people. There was only one problem. Others no longer feared Hotaru in the academy and her quiet and peace were lost. Due to the constant competition, a lot of bullying would happen in the sacred halls. Though the girl herself would only rarely be a victim of such acts. She had learned independence far earlier than most and was fairly easily able to defend herself and from time to time, even enjoy a little bit of bullying herself. In one of such instances, she had unintentionally saved a girl named Minako from the bullies. This was the very first time Hotaru had allowed another person into her life, even if the two of them were not much more than friends, and only barely. An act that became quite important for Hotaru, as she had learned how beautiful it can be to have someone close to you. But Minako was older and thus graduated sooner, leaving the young Amanojaku alone again to deal with everything the academy had to offer for three more years.
Strangely, nothing truly important has happened during those years and Hotaru finally graduated from the place she was forced into as a fresh Genin. A point where she was quite lost, as she did not actually attend the academy of her own free will and was forced instead. Now she has no clear goal or even a path ahead of her, leaving a completely blank slate that yet has to be filled.
