Hori Naomasa

One Half of the Charming Pair

Charming Hori Naomasa (a.k.a. 堀 直政)

Summary:

One member of the self-named Charming Pair. Hori Naomasa and her sister originally served the Oda Clan, but were given into Ryūzaki Sanosuke's service as a gift by Oda Nobunaga. Naomasa is the more combat-focused of the two; her latent psychic abilities boost her own combat prowess to an extreme degree, making her unbelievably fast and powerful for a girl of her size.
The opposite of her twin, Naomasa is reserved, shy, and very self-conscious. She stays away from social contact with all but Hidemasa, and is always being dragged into difficult situations by the latter. Fortunately, her sense of duty is strong enough to overcome this interpersonal ineptitude, and she strives hard not to let it get in the way of anything she's actually promised to do.
Though she does not share her sister's aptitude for art, Naomasa does enjoy music and dancing, so long as no one is watching her.

Combat Role:

Hori Naomasa is an impossibly fast, powerful, and well-protected melee fighter, thanks to the psychic matrices she uses to boost her own physical abilities. Her weapon is also capable of inflicting emotional sadness, as well as physical wounds, upon those it strikes.
