Description:
A serious girl and a fierce fighter, Hiromi is the oldest member of the team and the eldest Kasaikōri sibling. She and Rev are the best fighters on the team and natural leaders, and as such, she is his right-hand woman. Hiromi trains constantly to bolster her powers and skills, hoping to someday become strong enough to match her mother's skill levels. She prefers to go on missions by herself, making better use of her stealth capabilities. Hiromi also rarely ever smiles and doesn't really have a sense of humor... opposite to her younger sister, Hana. Despite her serious (and sometimes cold) demeanor, she cares greatly for her team, especially of Hana.
The sorest loser of the team~

Story:
Hiromi was born to Himari, daughter of the Aorikuan emperor, and Tamotsu, a noble warrior who protected the family, four years before the fall of the empire. Unbeknownst to many, Hiromi's mother was a powerful Omnivoyant, possessing powers of fire and ice, while her younger sister (Hiromi's aunt) possessed powers of wind, and her younger brother (Hiromi's uncle) possessed powers of electricity. They were some of the most powerful Omnivoyant in Aoriku. As a teen, Hiromi's mother would often spend her nights as a masked vigilante protecting the land, going under the alias 'Kasaikōri'. She had special tutelage under a close friend of the family who had previously taught her father (the emperor) how to use his powers. However, the friend ended up leaving Aoriku in hopes of researching more on the history of Omnivoyance a few years later. Regardless, 'Kasaikōri' became a very powerful guardian and was well-known and loved among the populace, even getting some action figures and other merchandise. When Himari eventually became pregnant with Hiromi, she desired to move on from the vigilante life, but knew that the people would still need protecting, especially with the growing threat of MAVRO looming over Omnivoyant. Himari used an old family secret to keep part of her Omnivoyant powers and transfer the other part of her Omnivoyance to Hiromi when she was born. Himari ended up losing her fire abilities, but would continue to serve as the 'Kasaikōri' with her remaining ice powers while also training her younger brother to take the mantle someday. Eventually, Himari felt he was good enough that she could finally put away the mask and focus on her family, eventually becoming pregnant once again and planning to pass on the remainder of her power to her second child.
During Hiromi's first few years of life, she showed a growing interest and admiration for 'Kasaikōri', oblivious to the fact that it was her mother. She often watched old videos of 'Kasaikōri' in action, and her favorite toys were the 'Kasaikōri' plushies. After Hiromi turned four and her sister was close to being born, their lives would take a turn for the worse. A group of armed people made an attempt on the emperor's life and succeeded, killing many of the guards and staff of the palace as well. Hiromi would also end up watching her father die to give her and her mother time to escape. In addition, her Omnivoyant aunt and uncle seem to have vanished, but Himari believes she saw her sister being taken by some people clad in black. Suspecting MAVRO's responsibility in the coup d'etat and wishing to protect her remaining family (now down to just Hiromi and her unborn child), Himari fled the palace with Hiromi, utilizing her stealth experience as a vigilante to her advantage. Arriving at a safehouse, Himari gave birth to Hiromi's sister Hana, before escaping on a boat to Qhroma.
Abandoning her surname to hide the truth of their lineage, Himari tried to find a safe place in Qhroma for her children. Eventually, she came across a little orphanage and foster home away from the major Qhroman cities, and with nowhere else to go, she reluctantly left her children there. Tearfully bidding her children farewell and with parting words to Hiromi to always protect her sister, Himari departed back to Aoriku, intent on donning the mask of 'Kasaikōri' again, find her siblings, and save her home from MAVRO. She knew she would see her children again.. it's just a matter of time.
Hiromi's childhood at her new home was a trying one. She started to develop a cold personality due to past traumatic events, but tried to maintain a strong persona for her sister's sake. They didn't make any friends.. quite the opposite actually; Hiromi had to constantly defend herself and her sister from bullies and delinquents. One day however, she did meet another, equally troubled child at the orphanage: a fiery-haired girl named Deirdre. The two became quick best friends and spent much of their childhood together and with Hana. Years later, one day while defending Deirdre and herself from a violent group of bullies, Hiromi's Omnivoyant powers manifested. As if out of instinct, she clasped her hands together to make a hand sign and channeled a large stream of fire from her hands, badly burning some of her attackers. Horrified, Hiromi fled to her room. Deep inside her mind, a certain intuition was trying to tell her to leave the orphanage and search out a specific location that was unknown to her. Believing this was the best course of action (to also prevent herself from hurting others), Hiromi prepared to leave alone. She thought Hana would be safer away from her dangerous fire powers and planned to leave her there, but remembering her mother's parting words, ultimately decided to take Hana with her. Hiromi planned to take Deirdre with her too, but she soon heard the distant sounds of sirens headed towards them, and was fearful of what would happen if she and her powers were discovered to be responsible. With Deirdre nowhere to be seen nearby, Hiromi quickly wrote her a note, hoping to see her again someday, before barely evading the authorities and fleeing from the orphanage with Hana.
Arriving at the location her intuition was leading her, Hiromi and Hana found themselves at the isolated home of an old man. He took one look at the girls before realizing they were Aorikuan like him. Hiromi revealed themselves as the daughters of formerly Princess Himari, and the old man warmly welcomed them into his home, revealing that he was a close friend of their family and taught their mother how to use her Omnivoyant powers. Hiromi learned then that the 'Kasaikōri' that she idolized as a child was in fact her mother, and that her mother had managed to use her powers with amazing strength to defend others. The old man took the girls in and raised them for many years. And Hiromi, taking the surname Kasaikōri in hopes of upholding her mother's legacy, trained with her new mentor with the intent of becoming as strong as her mother.
Soon after Hiromi learned all the old man could teach her, he passed away. Hiromi and Hana returned to their old orphanage and foster home in hopes of reuniting with Deirdre, but discovered it as a smoldering pile of ash and debris. The pair were shocked, but had no time to despair due to the large squad of MAVRO operatives still lurking in the area. They were soon spotted, and Hiromi fought fiercely to defend her sister. Things were starting to look grim for the girls, but another figure suddenly emerged and helped Hiromi dispatch the rest of their enemies. He revealed himself as a blue-haired boy with a robotic arm, stating he was planning on putting an end to MAVRO. With nowhere else to go, the two girls offered him their assistance, becoming the first members of the team that would eventually see the additions of Leuedai, Ella, Adelaide, and Tsukimaru over the next several years.

Abilities:
Hiromi's fire powers are a reflection of her sister Hana's ice powers. Having trained since around the time her powers first manifested, Hiromi is proficient at using many of her abilities, however she has to perform specific mudra for each power and focus on conjuring it. In addition, there are a few powers she is still unable to master. Even her mother was unable to use said abilities. The main powers Hiromi can use are listed:
-Fire generation and manipulation.
-Briefly turn into a smoke cloud.
-Regain energy to stay functional and at 100% longer (but after this new energy is used up, she becomes even more exhausted).
-Heightened senses and awareness of her surroundings.
-Engulf other objects with fire with her touch, either burning it or imbuing it with a fire element (if it can withstand the intense heat). In the case of her kunai, it becomes so hot it can sear through metal.
In addition to her range of powers, Hiromi is also very skilled in hand-to-hand combat and with melee weaponry.
Hiromi's pupils appear to disappear and blue specular highlights appear on her eyes whenever her Omnivoyant powers activate.

Tools:
-The kunai she wields was a weapon her mother used decades ago. It was gifted to the old man upon his departure from Aoriku, and was returned back to Hiromi for her to use. It's made of a rare metal that can withstand intense heat and cold. Hiromi keeps it close, intending to return it to her mother when they meet again.
-Hiromi's main weapon is a blade that Hana helped develop. It uses magnetic rails to protrude the blade from the hilt near-instantaneously, and can emerge from either end depending on which switch is triggered on the hilt. Hiromi does not use this weapon to kill however. It's more of a tool and scare tactic if she's questioning people for information.

Trivia:
-Hiromi's current attire is very similar to the attire worn by the vigilante, 'Kasaikōri', her mother and childhood hero.
-The mudra were inspired by Taoist hand seals, nine of which can be seen here: 3.bp.blogspot.com/-U_rqxahefjM…
-Her powers keep her warm in cold environments (given her lack of clothing).
-Her favorite activity (other than spending quality time with Hana) is meditating.
-The mask she wears is made of a special fiber that creates a form-fitting seal around her face. This prevents it from moving around and she can still breathe, but it prevents her from opening her lower jaw.
-She often uses the revealing nature of her outfit to her advantage, incapacitating enemies when they show the slightest sign of being distracted.
-Ironically, Hana's ice powers would be a better match for Hiromi's colder and serious personality. Likewise, some could say Hiromi's fire powers would better match Hana's energetic and 'sunshiny' nature. Kinda funny XP.
-She feels incredibly guilty for Deirdre's fate. While she hopes they can see eye-to-eye again, she will not back down if a fight breaks out between them.
-To date, her first encounter with Banshee is the only time she has been captured on a mission canonically. She hates the feeling of being a damsel-in-distress because it gives her a sense of failure, submission, and loss.
-She hates losing.
-Supposedly, Hiromi still has a 'Kasaikōri' plushie from her childhood somewhere in her room...
