Hanten

Hanten (はんてん) is one of the main characters of Obsolete Dream. She is a demon girl and Kurotsuno's best friend.

Physical Description
Hanten has short gray hair, red eyes, and grayish skin. She has curly black horns with two white dots at the base of each, black wings, and a black curly tail. Her hands are also completely black. She wears a green hanten coat, as well as a white dress shirt, black tie, gray sweater, and dark gray pleated skirt underneath. She also wears gray socks and black shoes.

In her other form, she has a more maddened look to her, with her hair turning white and her horns changing to resemble her father's. She also has fair skin and red nails. She wears a red shirt, a black skirt, black knee-socks, and black boots. She retains her wings from her normal form, though she lacks a tail in her character portrait. She is, however, shown with a tail in her previous form in illustrations, indicating that this might be a mistake or something which was changed later on.

Personality
Hanten is a laid back, yet violent and scary demon. She spends her time napping on the couch, brutally bullying others such as Met and Shikabone, or hanging out with Kurotsuno. It has also been shown that she enjoys drinking. She uses the personal pronoun "atashi" (あたし).

From what can be gathered by looking at illustrations, Hanten used to have a similar personality in her past form. A somewhat softer side to her can be seen in drawings with her past self and Olivia.

Background
Not much is currently known about Hanten's past. She used to have a different appearance, the details around which have yet to be revealed. She has also been said to be "an evildoer since ancient times," and was shown to have fought with Shikabone in an illustration, furthermore hinting at her backstory.

Major

 * Obsolete Dream - Part of the main cast.

Minor

 * Deep Kiss Mini-Comics - Makes a brief appearance.

Cameo

 * Mogeko Castle - Met and her are found throughout the castle while looking for Kurotsuno.

Gyakuten
Gyakuten is Hanten's father. They appear to be on good terms.

Chikemuri
Chikemuri is Hanten's younger brother. She has a habit of bullying him, resulting in his weak physical and mental state.

Kurotsuno
Kurotsuno is Hanten's best friend and housemate. Kurotsuno tolerates her, but at times also expresses sharp disapproval of her and her sleazy behavior.

Doodles and illustrations by Deep-Sea Prisoner indicate that Hanten and Olivia, Kurotsuno's past self, used to be close. They are depicted holding hands, and in one drawing, Hanten is shown holding Olivia bridal style. In the present, however, Kurotsuno shoves Hanten away whenever she initiates physical contact (e.g. grabbing Kurotsuno's shoulder or holding her hand); what caused this shift has yet to be revealed.

Met
Met is Hanten's subordinate who also has an unrequited crush on her. Hanten enjoys inflicting acts of violence on Met, for example by breaking her helmet or putting out her guts, though Met does not seem to mind this.

Anten
Hanten and Anten bear an uncanny resemblance to one another, but why they share this fundamental connection has yet to be revealed. It has been strongly implied that they are not blood related in chapter 8 of Obsolete Dream.

They furthermore seem to get along fine. Anten is sometimes seen in Hanten's presence, hiding in her coat in his snake form. It has also been shown in multiple instances that he has the ability to hide in her shadow.

Bis
Bis is one of Hanten's acquaintances and housemates. They have not been shown directly interacting, but it has been said that Bis is afraid and a bit uncomfortable around Hanten. Bis has also expressed skepticism about Hanten and her past on more than one occasion. In chapter 5 of Obsolete Dream, Bis makes an off-handed comment about not understanding Hanten's way of thinking. This is later returned to in chapter 8, when Bis inquires Met about Hanten and her mysterious connection to Anten.

Shikabone
Shikabone is Hanten's bullying victim; she enjoys scaring him. The precise ways she bullies him is currently still unknown. Furthermore, there is an illustration which depicts Shikabone stabbing Hanten's older form through the chest with his scythe; the details surrounding this incident have yet to be revealed.

Tsumuri
It is unknown what relationship they have. Hanten once told Tsumuri about how Glasses blushes easily just by taking the hands of his girlfriend, Kiku.

Glasses
It seems that the two do not have any kind of relationship, but for some reason, Hanten knows how Glasses easily blushes when he is with his girlfriend, Kiku.

Skillset

 * Stealth - As shown throughout Obsolete Dream, Hanten is notorious for sneaking up on others.
 * Katana Wielding - She has been shown wielding a katana in multiple illustrations.

Natural Abilities

 * Nigh-Absolute Immortality - Being a demon, Hanten cannot die from natural causes such as aging or disease.
 * Flight - Being a demon, she is able to fly.
 * Fire Generation - In two LOG images, she is shown having the ability to generate fire.
 * Eye Color Shifting - She has been shown with one yellow eye in a LOG Artwork. It was implied that she changed her eye to this color as well in chapter 8 of Obsolete Dream.

Trivia

 * "Hanten" in Japanese means "inversio/negative image" and is also a pun on 半纏 (Hanten), a type of winter coat that Hanten usually wears.
 * Hanten seems to have another "self," who is often seen with Olivia. This seems to be her original form, as she bears more resemblance to her family in this form. When drawn as a child, she is also depicted in her older form.
 * Clicking on her full portrait on Deep-Sea Prisoner's CHARACTER page will load up her alternate portrait.
 * Hanten has a scar with stitches on her chest; this is visible in a Skeb commission. Why she has this scar has yet to be officially revealed, though in one illustration it has been shown that Shikabone pierced her through her chest in the same spot.
 * The same illustration shows Hanten's arms regenerating, meaning this is when she might have gotten her black hands.
 * Hanten has red eyes, but in one drawing her left eye is colored yellow; why this is the case is unknown.
 * Her choice of underwear is spats.
 * Hanten - along with Kurotsuno and Met - only occasionally attends school, since attendance is voluntary in Ne-no-Kuni.
