Primary Nature
SuitonAppearance
A dancer, acrobat, and kunoichi, Hikari walks with light steps and coiled energy, always ready to burst and move at a moment's notice. Having a lower, huskier voice, the bandages around her throat are a holdover from a childish belief that doing so would make her voice sound better and more like other girls. Though she has since accepted her voice as it is, she still keeps the bandages.
Wardrobe
Owing to Amagakure's constant rain, Hikari has taken to wearing a wide variety of ponchos that suit her mood or situation. Underneath, her attire ranges anywhere from tame skirts and leggings to only wearing shorts and a bandeau. She also carries a number of water bottles on her body to keep herself hydrated, with most held in the numerous pockets of her poncho.
While on duty, Hikari dresses in tight and professional clothing to give herself the most free range of motion and in colors that are muted and natural. Her work ponchos in particular will often have mottled patterns, and she always attempts to wear colors that would best blend in to whatever environment she would be deployed to if she is allowed to prepare beforehand. They will also typically be particularly loose and flowy as she uses them in combat to obfuscate her movements.
When off duty, Hikari makes full use of all the bright colors of the rainbow in an attempt to insert a bit of color into the lives of those around her. Most of her bright ponchos are reversible and colored similarly to her work ponchos, however, just in case of any emergencies that may arise while she is out and trying to have fun.

History
Though having lived in the shadow of Amagakure's painful history all her life, Hikari did not have a particularly harsh childhood. The Hoshino clan held some note as arborists, caretakers of a particlar breed of trees named the Fumetsu no Ki, or Immortal Tree. As the name implies, the Fumetsu trees were extremely hardy and robust, capable of storing great amounts of water inside itself with branches that would continue to survive long after being cut off from its parent. They were rumored to have had been from Konoha in years past, taking refuge and bringing their knowledge and talents to Amagakure, but none of that was particularly relevant to Hikari growing up as her family was an offshoot branch of the main family tree.
Instead, her particular family were better known as entertainers. Before that however, both her parents were once shinobi and Hikari remembered many nights in her early childhood to be filled with emptiness and loneliness as her parents were often away on missions. They tried to be good caretakers of course, spending whatever time they could during the rare moments they were home with their daughter and Hikari understood that what they were doing was important work, but she was still a child who only wanted to be with her mom and dad.
Eventually Hikari's parents realized the growing gap they were creating between them and their only child. Not wanting their family to fall victim to the woes of others in similar situations, her mother and father greatly reduced the amount of missions they allowed themselves to be assigned to and instead turned their ninja talents to dance and acrobatics, putting on shows that would put smiles on the faces of others and giving themselves more time to spend with their daughter.
Hikari was ecstatic when they had made that decision, relishing all the newfound time she had with them and being able to admire and train with her parents. Still, she felt guilty from pulling them away from something that she felt was their true calling and joined the academy when she was of age in an attempt to find new ways that her family could be together, despite their initial protests.
During her time there, Hikari quickly found herself easily morphing into a social butterfly, flitting from one group to the next and trying to ingratiate herself with each one and onto every person. However, she also trained and studied hard, knowing her goal to become the best shinobi so that she can push her parents back onto their original path required her to do so. She graduated within the top ten percent of her class.

Hiden
Suiton: Mizu Ori (Water Weave)Description
Strengths
Weaknesses
Even though Hoshinos are known for their unique trees, they have also developed a more hidden art that has grown alongside their duties as caretakers of the Immortal Trees. The Hoshino clan, using very fine chakra control, can thread water together to cover a desired person or object. This technique is easiest for Hoshinos to use when covering objects from a fumetsu tree because of the clan's close connection to them as they can draw upon the great reserves of water held within the object itself, or by using the user's own internal water supply.
The technique depends on the user able to separate their chakra so that they are holding together individual packets of water that then connect to the next, and then the next, and then so on rather than holding on to the entire shape with chakra, with the most advanced users able to connect and hold even the tiniest water droplets.

Strengths
Because of the way the envelopment is held together, the user can quickly change the shape and form of the envelopment with the most common use being to turn any point of a fumetsu staff into a sharp edge, extending the cover out into a sharp lance, or even shooting the water out similar to the Water Gun Technique. More notable uses have been when the envelopment is combined with other chakra natures like with Wind in order to turn the water into ice, or with Fire to create explosive reactive armor.
Weaknesses
The fine chakra control required to use this technique is very taxing to the user, quickly tiring anyone new to the technique. The chakra threads are also best formed when the user is in direct contact with the water envelopment. With the way the chakra threads the water together, most users are only able to hold one envelopment at a time and if the water envelopment is broken at any point the user can add more water to replace the lost supply, but doing so drains the user even further as they have to focus on creating new connections to the new water.

Equipment
Ganko
Fumetsu no Ki Staff
A 1.6m staff carved from a branch of a fumetsu tree. Aside from a beautiful dark purple cloth wrapping its midsection and the remarkable craftsmanship, Ganko is otherwise relatively simple and plain. It doesn't become truly alive until Hikari uses her family's Hiden.
After using her Hiden, she has to ensure the staff has an ample water supply until it replenishes its stock of water to an acceptable level or else it will die. It is extremely difficult for Hikari to use the staff's internal water supply before it reaches back to acceptable levels as it stubbornly holds on to it, but if she tries to force it out anyway the staff will likely die.
