Innate Technique: Chronosurge. By amplifying her cursed energy Hina can augment time. The usual application of this is altering how her own body is moving in time, enabling her improved speed and unpredictable timing. The reverse is funneling her energy into someone else to augment time in their body, though generally Hina cannot stop more than one part of the body (I.e. an arm) at a time. Hinas domain expansion is the exception, allowing her to freeze anyone in a small space. Hinas technique takes a lot of cursed energy and can be difficult to maintain for king periods of time.
PERSONALITY
Likes: Stuffed animals, Tea, Fantasy books, Electronic music, Street food
Demeanor: Younger Hina has a very sweet, shy, girl-next-door demeanor. She is friendly, warm, and open. As an adult Hina’s demeanor does a heavy shift as she is cold, quiet, distrusting, and anxious - but significantly more confident.
Hina is both quiet and shy. Not one to share her thoughts unless prompted, she has a vibe of mystery to some, though others think of her as snooty. Realistically, she’s just a little awkward. Very much an introvert Hina has always been more the type to stick to herself unless approached, or to sit as a quiet and comforting presence in the room with friends. She isn’t an amazing conversationalist when it comes to small talk, but she can keep things going if someone else initiates. Being the type to keep to herself, Hina is hyper-independent and will refuse help even when she needs it - a trait that becomes worse as she ages.
Soft Spoken and not overly willful, Hina doesn’t voice her opinion often. She seldom asks for things, even when she wants them, and will actively go without for almost no tangible reason if she perceives it as polite. That being said, when Hina does feel strongly about something, she’ll let you know. Because so few things evoke strong emotional responses from Hina in an outward sense, it is always very telling as to the depth of her feelings when she expresses them. The only exception to this rule is excitement. Most of the time Hina is great at hiding her emotions, or at least veiling them - when she is excited it is almost always apparent. She gets embarrassed if you point it out, though.
At her core, Hina is deeply empathetic. She feels the weight of others emotions and needs heavily. Nurturing, Hina tends to feel responsible for others emotions - a trait that was doubled in her youth. While she was a people pleaser in her early years and would bend over backwards if she simply thought she was supposed to, she has become much more jaded in her adulthood. While she is prone to feeling responsible for others all on her own, she can lash out after perceiving someone else as trying to exploit her. On the flipside, if Hina feels safe with someone and trusts them not to exploit her, she is almost too self-sacrificing. In short, Hina is kind, but hurt, and it causes her to have issues finding balance in her social life.
Extremely anxious, Hina struggled to make personal decisions in her youth. While she is still very anxious as a person, life forces her to become more decisive as she ages. As she gets older Hina becomes more decisive, but, in exchange, loses a level of empathy as she forces herself to change the criteria for her decision making. As she becomes more confident, self-assured, and self-interested, Hina slowly loses the soft, sweet pushover she grew up as - and the kindness that came with it.
HISTORY
Hina was born to a small-time, but very ambitious clan of newer sorcerers known as the Ikagiri. Since the family’s founding their focus had been solely on strength, and arranged marriages and such were common as to produce the strongest potential children. Hina was raised with the belief that she was born for the progress of her clan and took her duty seriously. When it became apparent that she was deeply gifted, both with an immense amount of cursed energy as well as a strong ability, it became apparent that the name of her clan was on her shoulders -- at least in the eyes of her parents, who hoped to get as much credit as possible. It was with this pressure weighing her down that Hina was enrolled at Jujutsu High. Despite her potential to be one of the best, her own self-doubt and fear of failure held her back, preventing her from devoting herself fully. Due to this her performance was middling throughout most of her schooling, much to everyone’s disappointment.
It is when Geto and Gojo take on the mission to escort the vessel that things go south. Hina insists on coming along and, when things do not turn out as planned, it ends up being the final strike. Deciding that she would be more useful as a bargaining chip or gene pool, her parents removed her from school and had her married to the heir of another sorcerer clan. Crushed, Hina didn’t argue and allowed herself to fade out of the lives of everyone she had cared for.
The marriage was mostly as non-traumatic as it could have been expected to be - although loveless, Hina’s partner wasn’t particularly abusive. She grew into the routine of her life for a little over a year before her husband was killed by a cursed spirit. It was at that point that Hina decided to take her own freedom into her hands. Cutting ties once more as to keep herself out of the world of sorcery to the extent possible, Hina tried to fade into lonely obscurity.
RELATIONSHIPS
Sunji and Yuna Ikairi: Hina’s estranged mother and father. They have never had a close relationship, Hina having always been something of a means to an end in typical Ikagiri clan fashion. Having given up on their daughter after her failure to thrive in Jujutsu High Hina’s parents saw her less and less and time went on, and once Hina’s husband passed they stopped contacting her altogether. Hina, while estranged from her parents, holds resentment towards them. They are her only blood family.
Geto: Classmates from her school days, and the person Hina felt most for. Powerful sorcerers with bleeding hearts bonded a little too closely in a spark that ultimately faded to nothing in the blood of their failures. Mutual pining and tension was minor for the two of them, but present throughout their first two high school years. Once Hina left the school they lost track of one another, and are not current aware of one another’s status’.
Gojo: Classmates from her school days. Hina has always found Gojo somewhat fascinating. While his technique and mastery of it warrants enough attention, she was always amazed by how unwaveringly confident and self-assured he tended to be. Hina and Gojo had something of a mentor/mentee relationship from time to time, and generally got along as classmates. While Hina hears word of Gojo from time to time, he does not know her current status.
Mei Mei: Upperclassman. Mei Mei and Hina were never particularly close, but they are familiar as Mei was Hina’s upperclassman. Mei would tease her sometimes, and tried a few times to help her hone her abilities and they had a neutral-positive relationship.
Utahime: Upperclassman. A little more similar, Utahime and Hina were closer in Hina’s first two years at Jujutsu High and often spent down-time together. Despite Utahime’s efforts to keep in touch their relationship faded after Hina left Jujutsu High.
Nanami: Underclassman. Hina and Nanami only ever really interacting during missions, but they always respected one another. Nanami always had some idea that Hina’s situation was volatile or complicated, but never pried.
APPEARANCE
Height: 5’2”
Weight: 150lbs // 110lbs
Skin: Peach; Pale
Hair: Pink. In school Hina kept her hair around shoulder length with straight bangs, opting to grow it out and go for a shaggier side bang once she got older so it would be less maintenance. Her hair is very wavy with a lot of volume and tends to frizz up in the humidity. Hina’s hair has always been wildly uncooperative. In her younger days she would try to keep it, often resulting in odd pieces sticking out here and there - now though she embraces the shaggy look.
Eyes: Gold. Hina has wide, rounded eyes with heavy lashes a few shades darker than her hair. Hina’s eyes are extraordinarily expressive. Though it takes some effort on the looker’s part it is quite easy to tell how well Hina is doing by looking at her eyes once they’ve figured her out. They dull and lighten considerably depending on her feelings (or lack there of)
Facial Features: Hina’s features are small, rounded, and youthful. Her brow is subtle, eyebrows matching closer to her eyelashes in colour. Keeping them well-maintained, thin, and rounded, is one bit of personal grooming Hina is actually willing to put effort into. She has a short, button-esque nose, and thicker lips with a smaller mouth.
Body: Petite. Hina is decently small with a not-so-tall stature and a thin frame. She has a somewhat more apple-like body structure carrying more weight in her chest with slightly wider shoulders, though is fairly proportionate. In her youth she carried a little more weight on her but due to stress she is now quite thin. Compared to your average person Hina has a decent bit of muscle mass and definition, though that still leaves her looking weak and thin compared to most others around her overall strength.
Distinguishing Features: Hina has various small scars all over her body, especially present across her abdomen. It is more the quantity than ‘quality’ so to speak, though, as none of her scars are severe enough to stand out on their own. These grow more numerous over time. After the death of her husband Hina stops caring as much about public perception and begins wearing nostril and tongue rings, and gets a few smaller tattoos as well.
Tell me who I’m supposed to be now
Make me better
I can’t stay halfway dead forever
I fear now
There’s not much left of me
When you take the sick away
Who am I supposed to be?
Who am I supposed to be?
Recovery time, a condition like mine
What are we talking here?
Getting so close, I can taste the hope
But I still feel the fear

Kimura
Tree Village
The Kimura clan is a relatively small clan that specializes in the time manipulation cursed technique. The user doesn't actually control time it's self, but rather it's the target's perception of what is going on around them and the user. They can speed things up or slow things down with a snap of their fingers. This ability is hard to use as it takes a lot of concentration for the user to hold up while also fighting, so the users usually prioritize using weapons to attack before resorting to their cursed technique.
In the past, only men were able to use the Kimura's sacred technique.
Nanako- Central field.

When meeting strangers / Talking to people while she's on the job, Ari holds herself in a polite manner. Forcing smiles and being polite as she tries to collect the information that is relevant to her and the mission. Doing her best not to cause any fear in those who had no idea in what was going on. She is seen as a kind young lady, someone who is easy to talk to, and a good listener.
Meanwhile, when she's not on the clock and she's around her 'friends' and other sorcerers, Ari is often unsure of how to act. Are these people really there to be her friends or are they after her because of her family? Does she need to be cautious or will she be able to relax? Ari is always on guard when she's not working because of past experiences, so no one is really considered a friend of Ari's unless she feels a strong connection with them. She's not really one to talk to people first but is willing to hold a conversation if someone starts it first. Forcing smiles and laughs to show that she is one of the group is something that Ari has practiced for years and still holds onto to this day. She isn't very fond of crowded places, so she does her best to stay away from crowds and only enters an area where there are few to no people around.
If someone was to ask what Ari was like once they were able to actually get her trust they would probably say something along the lines of, she's very reliable. She isn't one to talk behind others backs and she is protective of those she cares about. She is even willing to put her life on the line for her friends. Ari may not feel like she is close with anyone, but to those she actually trusts, she is a great ally to have and one that will stick with them to the end of time.

Time Distortion
The user snaps their fingers, sending a wave of their cursed energy at a target or the surrounding area. Affecting their perception of time. Making things seem like they are moving faster or slower at the user's will. The ability is hard to maintain in battles, so when used, the user usually has a time limit for how long they can hold onto the target's time perception. The result is mental fatigue for the user which can affect them if they have used up too much of their cursed energy. The ability can usually only be used once or twice a day with a time limit max of five minutes.
Ticking Clock- Domain expansion for the higher users of the time distortion ability. The domain is filled with multiple ticking clocks, designed to distract the foes as they try to fight the user.

Time Distortion- Ari snaps her finger and releases varying amounts of her cursed energy at her target/targets. From there she is able to manipulate how they perceive things. Causing them to move faster or slower, at her own will. This can lead to a target that was too fast for the group to handle, to slow down enough for them to be able to neutralize. Or, it can cause her or a command to speed up their movements to keep up with a foe.

Grade 2
Grade three is a solid position for Ari to be in. Her family has pulled strings and got into contact with the higher-ups, preventing her from reaching anything higher than grade two. They want to keep her under control and remind her that she is only at this school because they've allowed it. So, any advancement would have to go through them and not be through her own merit.

There are a lot of things that Ari doesn't know or remember from her past, but what she does remember. Is that her biological father was absent, well she never met him so she isn't really sure if he was an absent father or if he was dead by the time of her birth. Either way, it doesn't really matter because at the age of four Ari found herself abandoned and put up for adoption. Her mother said she couldn't handle a kid with a mental disorder. Saying she couldn't handle all the creepy things that Ari talked about seeing.
After spending a year in the system Ari was adopted by a couple who had trouble conceiving. The supposed meds never worked, but Ari pretended that they did as she didn't want to be abandoned again. She was happy to pretend that she didn't see the ugly monsters in the world, her 'parents' didn't need to know about them. She didn't want to be left alone again. Yet, like they say. All good things must come to an end because, during the last year of Ari's middle school years, something weird started to happen.
Time would randomly freeze around her. At first, it was just a couple of seconds but then it slowly got longer and Ari started to freak out more and more. Going from the mindset of it just being a coincidence to being amazed by the ability then changing to freaked out about it. It also didn't help that when she went to her 'parents' they freaked out the most and sent her to a psych ward because they were certain that she was possessed by one of the things that she was seeing.
During the last couple of months of her middle school days, Ari was locked in a psych ward because her parents were scared of her and thought that she needed help. That was when Yaga came and got her out of the ward. Telling her 'parents' and staff that he was going to take her to the religious school Jujutsu High to cure her. When in reality he was breaking her out of the ward because she wasn't crazy. She was just unlucky enough to have been living with those who didn't know of the Kimura's power or the ability to deal with curses.
