Yamanashi Hibari

From Assault Lily Wiki

“ I'm the best Tactical Zone back in the world. There's no one who can beat me! ”

Yamanashi Hibari (山梨日羽梨) is a Lily who attends Yurigaoka Girls' Academy. She is a member of Legion Sanngriðr. Her Schild is Futagawa Fumi.

She was formerly a member of Legion Svanhvít and the Schild of Yanagisawa Ayako.

Personality[edit | edit source]

Hibari was once thought of by some people as conceited. She's since mellowed out, but she's still strong-willed and unafraid to speak her mind. She'll often brag "I'm the best Tactical Zone back in the world!", and she may be right about that, but Watanabe Akane and others are competing fiercely for the honor.

She is friends with Uchida Mayuri[6] and Hirose Minato[7], and considers Watanabe Akane her rival[8][9]. Among the members of Sanngriðr, she is especially close to Kondo Misaka who invited her into the legion[10].

Hibari is a lily otaku[11]. Her topic of interest is in Stats, which are detailed battle report recorded in CHARM. She studied the data from many legions and made the analysis of these records her life work[12].

History[edit | edit source]

Hibari was born in Kamakura[13], and her family lives in in Aobadai, a suburban neighborhood in present day Yokohama, close to Fumi's hometown. Her father is a mechanical watch designer, while her mother is a painter. Hibari herself claim she's a logical person rather than artistic like her parents[14].

She has been in Yurigaoka ever since kindergarten grade[15].

The Magi Rampancy Incident[edit | edit source]

During junior high school, Hibari became close with Yanagisawa Ayako, who would later be her Schutzengel. After Hibari advanced to high school (in 2051), she took the Schutzengel's Oath with Ayako and entered Legion Svanhvít, the legion that Ayako was in.

Later that year, Takegoshi Chihana stepped down as Sigrún. Tamura Nagi, the captain of LG Svanhvít, decided that she wanted to run in the Sigrún election. Unfortunately, it wasn't long after this that Nagi's Magi Rampancy flared up, and she became a violent person as a result. In Svanhvít's legion room, she began talking about "isolating" one of her competitors in the Sigrún election, Watanabe Akane. This left Hibari, who had a friendly rivalry with Akane, stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Then, one day, Nagi suddenly attacked Akane with her CHARM while they were out in public. Nagi wasn't normally the sort of person who would lash out in anger, but her Magi Rampancy was so severe by then that she that was no longer in her right mind, causing her to take up her CHARM and wield it against Akane with killing intent.

Akane managed to avoid a lethal blow, taking the hit to her shoulder instead. When she saw blood flowing freely from Akane's shoulder, Hibari placed herself between Nagi and the other Lily. Even though Nagi was the captain of her legion, and older than she was, Hibari tried to make her stand down.

"Nagi-sama! Are you out of your mind? Drop your weapon!" Hibari exclaimed, but Nagi ignored her words. "Out of the way, Hibari! I said MOVE!" she shouted, and brought her blade down against the training CHARM Hibari had armed herself with.

"Forgive me, but I must stop you, Nagi-sama!" said Hibari. Their blades had clashed over fifty times before the members of LG Svanhvít, and other third-years, forced the two apart[16].

The End of Legion Svanhvít[edit | edit source]

The duel that Nagi and Hibari had fought caused an immediate commotion. Naturally, Nagi was put in confinement, but the student council and Conduct Board then debated what to do with her. The student council was inclined to take Nagi's Magi Rampancy into consideration, but Hibari herself spoke up during their investigation, claiming in public before the inquiry that Nagi's attack on Akane couldn't simply be overlooked.

Since Akane was her friend, it was natural of Hibari to feel that way. Akane's keen instincts had allowed her to avoid injury, but Nagi had struck with the full force of her magie, and had the blow landed just a little differently, it might well have resulted in Akane never being able to hold a CHARM again. Out of all the Lilies at Yurigaoka, it was Hibari who most of all could not forgive what Nagi had tried to do to Akane.

Ayako, Hibari's Schutzengel at the time, told her not to blame Nagi. "Her magie was out of control. Didn't you notice she'd been acting odd lately? And Akane-san, she just wants this to be over. Why don't we go, all of us in Svanhvít, and apologize to her together?" she suggested to Hibari.

Hibari wasn't convinced. "Are you saying Akane was the one in the wrong?!" she retorted. "It doesn't matter to me what Akane wants! Nagi needs to take responsibility for what she did!"

Maki Wakana, who was at that time a member of the Conduct Board, thought long and hard about the issue, but eventually decided to punish Nagi for her actions.

"We will not take action against Legion Svanhvít as a whole, but I believe Nagi-san must consider whether she is qualified to be the captain of a legion," she said. "She may be permitted to resume her captaincy in the future, but Svanhvít is asked to remit the position of their legion captain to the Brynhildr." She thus ordered Svanhvít to select a new captain.

Hibari suggested to her Schutzengel, Ayako, that she should become the captain. "Me instead of Nagi? Are you even listening to yourself?!" Ayako exclaimed. She'd predicted what would happen, and didn't want to add to the chaos. But, knowing all too well what would come next, she collapsed in tears.

Mitsui Ko, Nagi's partner and the vice-captain of Legion Svanhvít, suggested as she looked upon the weeping Ayako that they disband the legion. "Nagi was the one who brought us together. This legion was her dream," Ko said. "If she can no longer be our leader, then Svanhvít's journey ends here."

When Nagi's magie finally calmed down and she returned to her senses, she voluntarily resigned as Svanhvít's captain, while expressing the wish the legion would go on. Mozuna Noa in turn said "We should just start a new legion together, all of us, and Nagi too!" But Ko felt differently from the two of them.

"We have all lost our way," Ko said quietly. "And we must each find it again on our own. If we can pick ourselves back up, and find how to continue onward, that's when we'll fight together once more."

"I love you, Nagi... but this is where we part ways."

With those words, Legion Svanhvít—the strongest legion of the Dueling Generation—came to an end[16].

Parting Ways[edit | edit source]

Hibari was left in shock. She'd never imagined that the lengths to which she'd gone would result in Legion Svanhvít disbanding, and she struggled to accept the reality of it. "Is this my fault?" she asked her Schutzengel, Ayako.

"Yes, this is in large part because of what you did," Ayako told her. "Nagi's dream, and my own dream... they've all crumbled away. Hibari, it's time for the two of us to part ways as well."

Ayako moved to have their Schutzengel's Oath annulled, leaving Hibari in tears. "If you do that, Oneesama, I'll—" she started to say.

"Please don't call me that anymore," Ayako said to Hibari. "Cry however much you must, and then find a new life for yourself. You aren't the only one responsible for this. It's also my fault for not guiding you properly."

Ayako embraced Hibari one last time, and then departed, leaving her alone[16].

Joining Sanngriðr[edit | edit source]

After that, Hibari was a shell of her former self. The Conduct Board (Okada Kisara in particular) thought she'd been correct to do what she had, but Hibari herself no longer had a reason to fight, or even live.

Uchida Mayuri, the new Sigrún, and Kondo Misaka were both old friends of Hibari's, and they tried to support her. Hibari spent every day shut in her room, but Misaka encouraged her to fight as a Lily again. "This isn't the last anyone will hear of the amazing Yamanashi Hibari, is it?" she said.

Akane also tried to cheer up Hibari. Later, after Hibari returned to being a Lily, Akane asked to be her roommate and the two became partners.

One day, Misaka saw Hibari staring at a knife as if in a daze, and then lifting it to her throat. Misaka grabbed the knife away from Hibari and slapped her on the cheek.

"If you're throwing your life away, give it to me!" Misaka exclaimed, shaking Hibari by the shoulders as she did. "Just don't do something this stupid! I get how badly your oneesama leaving you hurt. But you can't forget, you still have friends!" Her words finally stirred the embers in Hibari's heart back to life.

"Misaka... I was..." Hibari said, bursting into tears. Misaka hugged the girl tightly and asked Hibari to fight by her side. "Thank you, Misaka," said Hibari as she agreed[16].

Stage plays[edit | edit source]

Twilight of the Flowers / The Ringing Depths[edit | edit source]

During the play, Hibari asks Futagawa Fumi to take the Schutzengel's Oath with her and become her Schild, and Fumi accepts.

Combat Style[edit | edit source]

Hibari uses the Dueling Generation's style of fighting, and just like Lilies from the Dueling Generation once did, she wields a B-type Armament.

Hibari has awoken to what is most likely the subskill version of Z[17], and she can use it to return her CHARM to normal from an overheated state. As soon as it's confirmed, she will be the first Lily in history to possess the subskill version of Z. She refers to this ability by the unofficial name of "Restarigi."

Trivia[edit | edit source]
