Homura (Senran Kagura)

How Homura joined the Tourney
In Middle School she wasn't planning on becoming an evil ninja, she was actually from a good ninja clan. Ever since her first year of Elementary school she had been training to become a ninja. Her teacher in Middle School was a kind male University graduate. Every day she was training and under a lot of pressure from her parents, the stress built up. Her teacher was a sort of 'oasis' for her. He would listen to her talk about pointless things, etc. He was a 'special existence' to Homura.

In her second year she talked to the teacher about her plans after Middle School. She reveals her family’s ninja secret for him to keep as a secret. Upon receiving this information her teacher then attacked her, revealing to be an evil ninja.

This caused Homura to snap, she doesn't remember a thing that happened after that other than a blood stained teacher's face. She says if she hadn't met that evil ninja she might've just been a normal Middle School student. She was thrown out of her home because of this act, her parents didn't even listen to her pleas.

Betrayed by people and disowned by her parents she wandered the streets, where she is confronted by a woman who offers her the option to join Hebijo, stating that "The past doesn't matter, Hebijo welcomes anyone. Evil ninja are more tolerant than good ninja."

President Funny Valentine prepared to sponsor a bill that forces all ninja to re-education camps, where they would be brutally taught never to be ninja. Homura was determined to stop this.

After the announcer calls her name
Pulls her six katana and slashes them as the camera zooms saying "I'm not going to die. I will not. Not while I bear the mark of the ninja way!”

Charge (Neutral)
Homura charges in a frenzy of slashes, hitting any and all enemies that are within range of this ferocious onslaught. Like in Shinovi Versus, it takes on a polygonal formation. It finishes with three separate slashes, all with delaying gaps in between to ensure any outliers are hit.

Sound of the Wind (Side)
Homura spins around while attacking with all six of her swords extended outwardly, emulating a mini tornado that sucks in and cuts any and all enemies trapped by it. It finishes with her releasing an explosion of energy, sending her enemies flying.

Dawn (Up)
Whilst airborne, Homura slashes outward with her claws (six katana) and unleashes a wave of Crimson energy in all directions.

Flash (Down)
Homura criss-cross slashes her six katana ten times.

Crimson Lotus (Hyper Smash)
Based on her Senran Kagura: Estival Versus ultimate Secret Ninja Art. Homura is surrounded in a fiery pillar as it explodes, then becomes her Crimson form. When in this form, Homura becomes overwhelmingly powerful. She is allowed to wield all seven of her swords (this includes her nodachi) and can command them at will; tearing through crowds of enemies in a single strike.

While in this form, she is invincible and can take no damage nor can be staggered from any attack. Utilizing this properly in a fight, Crimson Homura is a force to be reckoned with. This wears out after 40 seconds.

Lotus (Final Smash)
Based on her Senran Kagura SHINOVI VERSUS Shōjo-tachi no Shōmei Zetsu • Hiden Ninpō. Homura draws her seventh sword, Engetsuka, and enters her Crimson form. She uses this sword to guide the other six swords out of their sheathes as they become coated in a crimson aura and fly forward. She thrusts her seventh sword up into the air and generates a gigantic tornado of fire. The six swords begin to spin around her as she moves around, finishing the move with a crimson laser from the sky.
