Hikari Setsuna

Hikari Setsuna is a kinetic kunoichi who moves through the world in flashes of living light, her presence marked only by the brief afterimage of motion. Raised in the discipline of silence and precision, she learned to treat speed not as recklessness, but as control—measuring distance, timing, and intent down to the smallest instant. In lantern-lit streets and moon-shadowed alleys, she is felt more often than seen.

Unlike assassins who rely on poison or brute force, Hikari channels stored momentum into sudden bursts of radiant energy. Each strike releases a precise discharge of kinetic light, ending conflicts before they can escalate. Her power is exacting and unforgiving; a single misjudged moment can turn speed into self-destruction. For that reason, restraint is as vital to her as velocity.

Hikari does not serve clans or banners. She intervenes only when balance has already fractured, appearing briefly to correct the moment before vanishing again. To those she saves, she is a rumor. To those she defeats, she is remembered as a single, blinding instant—gone before it can be understood.
