Kurokawa Nady Hanna

From Assault Lily Wiki

Kurokawa Nady Hanna (黒川・ナディ・絆奈) is a Lily who attends Yurigaoka Girls' Academy. She is a member of Legion Sanngriðr. Her Schutzengel is Kondo Misaka.

Personality[edit | edit source]

Hanna likes to wear kimono-like haori even when going to battle, and because of this people call her things like "Hime-chan" and "The Princess of Sanngriðr."

Though Sanngriðr as a whole have a poor reputation, most people hold Hanna in esteem due to her Rare Skill and lovable personality. Hanna's so amiable that even when she was at the GEHENA facility, she made friends with the researchers and they were kind to her in return[7].

History[edit | edit source]

Hanna is half-American[8] and was born in Boston[9]. Her parents are still alive[10].

When Hanna was first born, she had a weak constitution and needed Magi supplementation. Because her Skiller Value was high on top of that, GEHENA set their sights upon her. They offered to provide her with medical treatment, and in exchange, required her to stay in one of their facilities.

Hanna was given the Regenerator skill to improve her health. But later on, when her parents learned about the dark side of GEHENA, they got her out of the facility with Yurigaoka's help[7].

The GEHENA Research Facility[edit | edit source]

According to rumors, Hanna was subjected to experiments in a offshore research facility that no longer exists. The lab, where they performed dangerous experiments, was like an aircraft carrier that cruised the Pacific[11].

Hanna stayed at the GEHENA facility for about a year, and during that time, she watched in helpless misery as the test subjects who were held captive there suffered. She also made friends with a girl named Kate, who, like her, had been brought to the facility to improve her health. Unlike Hanna, Kate was subjected to drastic experiments which steadily took their toll upon her. After a time, she lost control of herself and wasn't even able to recognize Hanna any longer.

But just before her life ended, as Hanna was holding Kate in her arms, Kate's sanity returned to her and she curled her pinky finger around Hanna's. "Live happily, with no regrets, for the both of us, okay?" she told Hanna. Through her tears, Hanna nodded, and she's kept that vow ever since.

It was right after Kate's death that Hanna's parents took action and had Yurigaoka rescue her[7].

Hanna at Yurigaoka[edit | edit source]

Since she was a Boosted Lily, Hanna was put in the special dormitory at Yurigaoka, where the other "Sisters of Lyfjaberg" quickly grew fond of her.

Everyone thought of her as an adorable little sister, and not only older girls like Rosalinde Friedegunde von Otto and Ishigami Mio but those of the same age like Kitagawara Inori doted upon her. Inori was especially fond of Hanna and hoped the two of them would fight together in the future.

But destiny had other ideas. Hanna met a girl one year older than her—Kondo Misaka, a promising Lily who was expected to become the Brynhildr in the future.

Most people only saw Hanna's charming personality, but Misaka viewed her differently, as someone with the potential to become a great Lily in the future. The only other person who thought of Hanna as a Lily with promise was Inori, and everyone thought that was just because she liked Hanna so much.

"You think she might awaken Circlet Bless or Phantasm? I mean, it's Hanna-chan we're talking about. Are you serious?"

Misaka doted on Hanna like everyone else, but also helped her improve as a Lily by saying things like "You ought to practice that more" or "Want to train together?", and so Hanna began to think of her as a big sister.

Not only that, but Misaka reminded her of her parents, who were far away and out of contact with her. Even when everyone else began to dismiss Misaka as mediocre and refused to let her form a legion, Hanna never even considered leaving her side.

When Hanna awakened Phantasm and people's evaluation of her as a Lily did an about-face, quite a few legions tried to recruit her, but Hanna gave them a puzzling response. "I'm not planning on going anywhere unless Misaka-sama is there with me," she told them[7].

Combat Style[edit | edit source]

Quite unusually for a Lily with Phantasm, Hanna has a talent for fighting at close range in the manner of a duelist. This is likely because she has trained diligently with Misaka, who is herself the most duel-oriented of the second-year Lilies at Yurigaoka.

Hanna is perhaps the most attuned to Phantasm of any Lily who has it. Her actions and tempo in battle are unpredictable, and combined with her flawless CHARM handling oriented towards overpowering the enemy, she can crush any foe. She's a klutz, and that doesn't disappear in battle, but it just serves as a spice on top of her innate talent with Phantasm.

Hanna likes to play around and show off her moves when she has the Magisphere, and will toss it up in the air while flipping her CHARM. This makes Kiko Totori angry every time she does it[7].

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • The gesture of kissing her pinky after battle is her prayer for the friends she lost in the research facility[12].
    • According to Hanna, her friend is a cheerful and talkative person[13].
  • She can speak English, although she almost never use it in daily conversation[14].
  • Hanna has similarity to Kozue from Hronesnæsse. Both has Phantasm skill. They are half (Kozue had English father, while Hanna had American father). Their uniform design also has elements from Japanese clothes.
  • She likes pizza and cola[15].
