Hibana

is a Third Generation and the Battalion Commander of the 5th Special Fire Brigade.

Appearance
Hibana is a tall woman with tanned skin, long pale-blonde hair and aqua blue eyes, with pink, flower-shaped pupils. Her outfit consists of a personalized protective outer fur-tim jacket with a hood and her respective Fire Brigade digit (5) on the left arm, as well as the same blue lines on the custom Fire Brigade jacket. Underneath the jacket reveals a v-shaped white pencil dress which displays her large bust. She wears light coloured underwear and on her dress, is a belt with a gold buckle with a whip and holster attached to it. Her dress has a split on the side from the belt down so that her left leg is visible, and she wears black high heels. Hibana also dons a golden necklace. As a child, Hibana wore a habit, which consisted of a tunic, covered by a scapular, and a veil, black shoes and a necklace with a cross-like insignia of The Holy Sol Temple.

Personality
Hibana takes her role as the Battalion Commander seriously and doesn't hesitate to remind lower-ranked members of their places. Though she appears friendly and approachable, she's secretly deceiving and has quite a twisted personality, as she seems to enjoy experimenting violently on Flame Humans, to which point even her own brigade members were frightened of her.

Abilities
Princess Hibana is a Third Generation ability user, who has adapted to the Human Body Ignition Phenomenon and was granted the ability to generate flames through her fan. Her gaze allows her to make her opponents fall to their knees, much to their initial confusion.

Background
Princess Hibana attended The Holy Sol Temple during her youth, with Iris as her colleague.

Introduction arc
Hibana watches the Fire Officer Newcomer Tournament, where she supports her peers in the exam, until the simulation is halted after an incident inside the building. After speaking with her fellow brigade members, Hibana interrupts the clash between Shinra and Setsuo in an attempt to stop Shinra from dealing the finishing blow to the Flame Human.

VS 5th Special Fire Brigade arc
Hibana orders her subordinates to take the Flame Human away and gazes at Shinra, causing him to fall to his knees. Princess Hibana tells her subordinates, the 3 Angels of the 5th, to hold Shinra down while she lectures him on how to be respectful towards superiors. The woman orders the Fire Officer to lick her shoe as Shinra acknowledges that what he had done was rude and apologises, however, the woman refuses to listen and repeats her order. Shinra accidentally spots her underwear, slightly startling Hibana and encouraging her to walk away. When the 8th Special Fire Brigade arrives, Hibana explains that she wishes to research the Flame Human and deceitfully claims that she is willing to share the information amongst the Special Fire Brigades. After the 8th Special Fire Brigade picks a fight with a member from the 5th Brigade, the two brigades begin their confrontation.
