Homura Amanohokosaka (ホムラ＝アマノホコサカ, 天ノ矛坂 焔 Homura=Amanohokosaka, Amanohokosaka Homura) is the current Imperator Librarius of the Novus Orbis Librarium, and the child of a previous Imperator, Tenjo Amanohokosaka.
Homura first debuted as an NPC in BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma. They were revealed for BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War on the 27th of October, 2021.
Appearance
Homura is a young effeminate, yet androgynous human. They have knee-long brown hair, amber eyes, and a pale complexion; on Homura's forehead, there is a small red mark. They wear a highly stylised orange and white sokutai that stops high up on their thighs with small golden ornaments hanging at the rims, and is tied to his waist with a white bow; a red scarf is tied around their collar. A tall black hat sits upon Homura's head that has intricate golden details near its base, and they wear orange platforms over long white socks. According to their mother, Homura inherited their father's hair colour.[1]
During their reign as Imperator, Homura wears a deep purple version of his usual sokutai over numerous layers of red, white, and green kimonos. Instead of their large hat, they wear a large, golden, circular headpiece that faces forward, and instead of their orange platforms, Homura wears red ones.
Personality
Regal and graceful - Homura does not speak much within the series, often keeping quiet whenever present, but isn't afraid to speak their mind, such as defying the wishes of Kagura Mutsuki on at least more than one occasion. Homura is very polite and understanding, having shown a great deal of gratitude to Bang Shishigami for leading the Ikaruga people in their absence, but is also humble, asking that those around them don't fret over their safety. Homura is very close to Kagura, and is fond of Bang.[2]
Powers and Abilities
Individually, Homura does not have much strength and rarely takes to battle because of this. In combat they use a large mirror which can focus a beam of light for combat. Otherwise, this is their only offensive capability. Homura's real strength lies in their ability to inspire their allies and retainers, such as Bang and Kagura, to fight for them in their stead.
