Personality: Hibana is a little bundle of joy. She's really the ideal little girl- a sweet little darling with soft blonde hair and wide, innocent blue eyes. She's astoundingly polite for her age- seven- and her manners are impeccable. She addresses all adults with respect and often ends her conversations with an adorable little curtsey. Hibana is perfect, really- unsettlingly perfect. It's almost eerie; there has to be a catch. And there is. For all of Hibana's naivety and sweet smiles, she's not what she seems to be. Though she's a hard-working, intelligent, well-mannered little girl, Hibana is also a groomed murderer and psychopath.

Hibana has no memories which do not include her mother's presence and influence. This is important in coming to understand her character; she experiences the world from a very, very different point of view than most. After all, when your entire life has been warped and controlled and you have been conditioned to believe certain things and behave in a certain way by someone who controlled every aspect of you, it would be almost impossible to change your world-view. The world, as Hibana sees it, is an unfair place, and the only way to earn her place in it- to earn, as her mother advised, the respect she could come to deserve- would be to be perfect. To be perfect is to excel at everything, to never make any mistake, and to be a flawless example of what it means to be a lady. Hibana was forbidden to fail at this, which made perfect sense to her- after all, if her beloved mother said it was that way, why would it not be true?

Many people have the desire to be perfect- to Hibana, it is not only a want, but a need. She does not know how to comprehend anything else but perfection and the concept of being a 'proper lady'. She is obsessed with schedules, manners, and punishing those she perceives as having 'bad meat'. The most interesting part of this all is that Hibana truly does not see anything wrong with this. She is confused when others point out to her that her view is wrong. She holds everyone to the same standards she holds to herself and will constantly nitpick at others. For the most part, these traits are harmless- unless you imply that Hibana is not a proper lady. She grows extremely violent to the point of hysteria at this, and will not hesitate to attempt to kill (or kill, as it has been in the past) the one that said it.

When it comes to life outside of her work as an Undertaker, Hibana is actually not all that hard to get along with. In many ways she is like a normal little girl. When her homework is done, she likes playing with toys and colouring books. She grows flustered easily, and despite her insistences otherwise and her refined-sounding speech, her childishness tends to show quite a bit. She sometimes talks in third person, and she has thrown temper tantrums before.
