Hoshimi

She was a Fox Thiren and a prominent member of the Hoshimi family, a legendary clan of martial artists and elite swordsmen known for dealing with the Hollows. Unlike the rest of her battle-hardened clan, she deeply desired a normal, safe, and happy life for Miyabi. She tried her best to shield her daughter from the bloody and burdensome destiny of the family. She actively tried to keep Miyabi away from swords and martial training. Even when Miyabi showed an innate, obsessive desire to practice, her mother tried to redirect that energy into ordinary things, like planting flowers. When Miyabi was around 10 years old, their home was completely devastated during the catastrophic expansion of Hollow Zero During the attack, Miyabi's mother was heavily corrupted by the Hollow radiation and Ethereals. In her final moments of sanity, to prevent herself from fully mutating into a monster, she begged a young Miyabi to end her life using Tailless—the family's cursed, legendary blade.
