History: Hibana's upbringing was not ideal, to say the least. Raised by a (literally) insane mother, her childhood was warped right from the beginning. It's hard to tell what Hibana's mother's goal was, but whatever it was, it involved attempting to morph her daughter into the perfect lady.
This was achieved not only through etiquette lessons and a good education but torture and abuse both physical and psychological. Hibana was, to put it simply, not allowed to make mistakes, no matter how large or small. Wetting the bed would earn her a world of pain; throwing up would invite even worse punishment. All of this Hibana took quietly and even with gratitude; her mother was helping her. And so it was in that way that Hibana was conditioned to deal with horrific amounts of pain, often in bizarre ways- her mother utilized old-fashioned and long-forgotten torture techniques, the names and methods of which are still memorized by Hibana to this day. Hibana was made to endure great amounts of pain until she could no longer feel it at all. In that way, she would finally be able to become perfect.
But then something happened that Hibana didn't understand. She came home one day to see her mother hanging from the ceiling with a rope around her neck. Confused, she carried on with her life, taking herself to and from school and coming home to talk to a swiftly-rotting corpse. It isn't quite clear how long Hibana carried on like this with no one the wiser, but it was long enough for her mother's corpse to reduce to an almost skeletal state. This is a good indication that Hibana has no surviving family, because nobody noticed what had happened. Hibana continued to 'hear' her mother speaking to her long after she was dead- it seems that she still does not perceive that her mother had actually died.
However, though her mother was gone, her influence had long ago deeply affected Hibana. When a little boy in her class flipped her skirt, she swiftly decided to 'punish' him for the embarrassment he had caused her. She dismembered and buried him in the garden in front of her school. She hadn't done a good job of hiding his body, though, and it was discovered quickly. When she was confronted, Hibana was confused; hadn't she done a good thing? She punished the boy for being naughty. She was soon after put in Japan's only publicly operative prison, Deadman Wonderland.
It was not long after that that Hibana was selected for something special. She would be removed from death row if she could withstand the trials of joining the prison's elite security team- Undertaker. The prison hid many secrets, the most important one being the presence of a secret underground level keeping people known as Deadmen. These Deadmen were given the ability to control their blood after the Great Tokyo Earthquake. This ability made them just as dangerous as they were useful, though, and the assistant warden of the prison, Tamaki Tsunenaga, found the need for a specialized team to control them when things got too rough. Hibana was selected from a pool of the hardest criminals; even of these, not many survived the 'training' to become an Undertaker. This training is implied to have been more like torture, where the 'recruits' were either to die or endure. But torture was nothing new to Hibana, and she flew through the requirements with flying colours.
Hibana had finally found her niche. She made for a perfect Undertaker, concerned with perfection, order, and rules. She had no qualms about 'punishing' the bad little 'birds' (all Deadmen are given a bird designation for a codename), because in her mind, she was helping. Like other Undertakers, Hibana was also given a sword with the ability to negate the power of any Branch of Sin (the Deadmen's power) it touched. She soon settled into a routine of homework and Undertaker work, and she soon escalated to the position of third squad leader.
As of the point Hibana is being taken from, she has been in prison for about a year and a half and is seven years old now. She is somehow able to maintain her education and is in second grade. Much of her time is dedicated to homework, and, for a little girl living in prison, Hibana is alarmingly happy with her life.
