"The truth isn’t going to wait politely for someone to find it. You have to chase it down, corner it, and rip off its mask—no matter what it takes. Now, if you’ll excuse me… I have a mystery to solve." (adjusts glasses, lenses gleaming ominously)

Bio Nozomi Hanabusa – The Relentless Seeker of Truth​ Age: 19 Element: Knowledge Steed: The Ink-Touched Stag – A sleek, shadowy stag with glowing script along its antlers and legs, representing the written word and accumulated knowledge. It moves silently and can step between places like turning the pages of a book. Weapon: The Scriptorium – A ranged weapon that inscribes its own bolts with luminous script before firing. These bolts pierce deception and illusions, leaving behind brief echoes of knowledge—fragments of whispered truths or visions of the past. The weapon can shift into a short blade, where strikes leave lingering words that reveal unsettling information or weaken foes. Personality & Motivations:​ Nozomi is driven by the thrill of the chase, always seeking the next mystery, the next hidden truth waiting to be uncovered. She has little respect for rules and social norms, willing to sneak, scheme, and push boundaries to get her scoop. Her rivalry with another Film Club member fuels her passion—whether it’s about proving she’s the better investigator or something more personal. Appearance:​ Hair: Vivid sapphire blue with streaks of silver, usually tied in a messy half-ponytail or left wild. Eyes: Sharp golden amber, giving her a fox-like gaze. Build: Lean and athletic, built for quick getaways. Clothing Style: Casual street clothes—hoodies, fitted jackets, ripped jeans, fingerless gloves, and worn-out sneakers or boots. She accessorizes with old film reels, vintage camera charms, or mechanical trinkets. Signature Accessory: Glasses that dramatically gloss over at appropriate moments, which she adjusts whenever making a dramatic statement. Quirks & Habits:​ Narrates her own investigations under her breath, often talking to herself when piecing clues together. A master of the investigative chase, fast on her feet, quick-witted, and always ready to duck into an alley or scale a fence if needed. Keeps a notebook filled with frantic scrawls, sketches, and red-string-worthy connections. Nozomi is the kind of person who doesn’t just uncover secrets—she hunts them down like a bloodhound, with a smirk, a knowing gleam in her eye, and a quip on her lips.
