Name: Kaminari Hotaru
Nicknames: The Firefly Maiden, firefly, Lady Hotaru (by her familiars)
Age: 16
Gender: female
Race: onmyoji (affinity fire, yang)
Appearance: "I'm not much..."
Personality: Hotaru is a quiet person. She isn't a fan of social interaction, because she has poor conversational skills and is afraid of scaring people away. She is a real softy, but due to her antisocial demeanor people mark her as cold and mean without attempting to meet her. Hotaru hates to see people upset or hurt, and always helps those who need it. However, she still avoids any form of relationship out of fear of getting attached.
Abilities:
- Familiar summoning:
- Inugami, the wolf-dog demon
- Nure, the snake demon
- Juju, the tanuki
- Will O' the wisps
* 1-8 Will O' the Wisps count as a single shikigami summon, 8+ counts as two
* Spirits who come of their own accord and are not summoned by user, either through song or talisman, do not count as one of the shikigami summons.
- Inugami, the wolf-dog demon
- Paper Talismans
- Healing/purifying
- Barriers
- Sealing and banishment
- Blessed "Golden" Fire
Skills: Hotaru has incredible magical abilities, being able to control blessed fire rather than just the usual Wu Xing element. She plays the flute beautifully, and has the ability to sense evil.
Weaknesses: She is not physically strong and often comes down with fevers because her magic is too much for her weak physical body to contain. She cannot fight in close combat and can only summon two familiars at a time. Though she can sense evil, it suffocates her and can make her faint if she's surrounded by it for too long.
Equipment:

Brief Backstory: Her father was an onmyoji who fell in love with her mother, a priestess. He died saving the mother, pregnant with Hotaru, from a wild yokai. Her mother raised her but soon left after her fifteenth birthday, telling Hotaru that she must learn to take care of herself. She left Hotaru with the shrine and it's guardian, Inugami, as well as a shikigami egg that Hotaru raised to later hatch Juju. Inugami caught Nure trying to attack Hotaru in her sleep, and the snake demon asked to become her familiar. Hotaru agreed, much to Inugami's dismay, and now the two constantly argue over their Lady.
