Hana Tanigawa

About

A phoenix tattoo etched across her shoulder whispers of rebirth, while her surgically precise martial arts style speaks to a calculated mind beneath raw power. Where most fighters roar, Hana moves like a silent blade—each strike a calculated meditation, each breath a weapon more dangerous than her fists.

Backstory

Three minutes after midnight, Hana Tanigawa discovered her grandfather's forbidden martial arts scrolls hidden beneath floorboards that creaked with century-old secrets—scrolls that detailed a fighting style so dangerous it had been sealed away for killing its previous practitioners through spiritual combustion. She learned this the hard way when her sister Mei attempted the techniques first, her body literally burning from within as the ancient fire consumed her soul, leaving only ashes and Hana's desperate promise to master what had destroyed her family. The phoenix tattoo blazed into her shoulder that same night, appearing without ink or needle—a curse and blessing from the scrolls themselves. Now her laughter cuts through opponents like a blade, each strike channeling the same lethal fire that took Mei, but controlled, weaponized, and hungry for worthy adversaries who can withstand her grandfather's forbidden legacy.
