Project X Zone 2 FANDUB: Prologue 3 - "Dancers in Shadow"
ChristinaElizaVO for Hibana (Nightshade)
(Click here to see Hibana with her mask up, which is her default appearance)
A kunoichi from a future not so far from Hotsuma's. She seems to know something about Hotsuma's fate, but refuses to elaborate in fear of interfering with events in time.
Like Hotsuma, Hibana was born into the Oboro clan, but was sent to train under a separate branch from an early age. She was taught by a former Shinobi Agency operative, but said master eventually disappeared from her life. Being abandoned by both her family AND her master caused Hibana to become bitter and dispassionate, leading to her catchphrase "Today's just not my day".
While on a mission, Hibana finds herself pulled through a time portal into Shibuya, and reacts in disbelief upon seeing Hotsuma apparently alive and well. When she gets told by Hiryu that she's been pulled into the past, she initially doesn't believe him, though Hotsuma's presence eventually convinces her.
Voice Tips: As with the other ninja, Hibana should be voiced in a controlled and stoic manner, very rarely showcasing any emotions at all beyond her usual despondent nature (though she's not above peppering her dialogue with a snide comment or two). She should carry a particular level of carefulness and mystery around Hotsuma, due to her not wanting to reveal too much about the future.
Voice Type: Medium Female
- female young adult
- fandub
...Hibana. Just another shinobi the Agency makes use of. About the sword... Yes, I've seen the Agency's files. Akujiki... The cursed blade that devours men's souls, linchpin of the Ariake Seal... It's held by the leader of the Oboro warrior clan, no?
(aggressively) Another era? Care to wipe off that smug look off your face and explain? (disbelieving, shocked) ...I'm... I'm in the past? I was just out on a mission, and now you say I've travelled through TIME?!
(reluctantly accepting) ...I believe you. After all, you're standing right here in front of me. (dejected, bitter) And here it was supposed to be a simple mission... This is so not my day.
