IC INFORMATION Characters Name: Hakuei Ren Age: 22 Canon: Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic Canon Point: chapter 147 Species: Human Gender: Female Orientation: Heterosexual
History:Hakuei @ the Magi wiki Appearance:What a babe. Personality: Hakuei is described a kind, trustworthy person. The first time she appears, she saves a boy and a horse gone wild by leaping onto the horse and calming it down, smiling as she looks back down to the boy. Like that, it's not hard to see her as kind. As a general of an army though, it's not exactly what one would expect; however, Hakuei is the type of person to prefer the peace of diplomacy over the violence of war. She continually chooses to ask for opportunities to talk peacefully instead of subjugating other people through killing. Hakuei prefers diplomacy to the point of endangering herself; even when an entire clan is ready to wage war against her and even attacks her, she stands and takes the attack without blinking, all for the sake of convincing them just how serious she was about peace. It may seem naive to some people, but she believes that the only way to win people' hearts is by a "sublime ideal" rather than brute force. She's that determined to prevent as many deaths as possible. Her ultimate goal is to help unite the people of the world into "one world" so that they may live in a world where no one has to die.
However, that's not to say Hakuei is a pacifist; she is kind-hearted for sure, but she's a powerful and capable warrior that will kill when necessary. When one of her commanders, a violent, war-loving individual, attempts to stage a coup, she sentences him to death for his treachery and decides to execute him with her own hands. She doesn't take betrayal lightly, and reckless killing and bloodlust is one of the fastest ways to earn her fury. Hakuei won't stand for violence unless it is absolutely necessary; from what is seen, it never was, so her commander's desire to subjugate a village through force and violence was only met with anger and adamant refusal until he betrayed her. As expected of a general, she is intelligent and observant. Insults from her show that, and she's not above cruel mockery when angered. Her anger in general though is violent and furious. She's not above swearing when sufficiently enraged, so it's not a particularly good idea to cross her. While she may be a reasonable and undoubtedly good person, there's a reason why you wouldn't want to cross her.
Another way to anger her quickly is by threatening to hurt her younger brother, Hakuryuu. She's very protective of him, having taken care of him for the most part ever since her older brothers and father died. It's evident that she has somewhat of a motherly side when it comes to younger people, likely a result of having taken care of Hakuryuu for so long. However, with recent events, she's also become somewhat afraid of him. If her anger is violent and untamed, his is downright poisonous. She's aware enough to see that his anger is beginning to consume him, and that the power he's gained isn't helping in the least. While she trusts and loves her younger brother, she's also unsure of what to think when he tells her that their own mother was responsible for the death of their brothers and father. Undoubtedly she wants to help him, but for the time being she tells him that she needs time to think about things. Even though she wants to believe in him, she can't quite bring herself to given his current state.
In more relaxed interactions, Hakuei is polite and respectful. She can be quite friendly and smiles freely when she gets the chance to; while she's not bursting with emotion all the time, she's not particularly reserved either. Of course, being the first princess of an empire, she's more than capable of speaking formally when the matter calls for it. At times, Hakuei can be too trusting; she tends to take people for their word, even when it's evident that they're not a trustworthy person. Despite her beauty and natural grace, traits that some characters actually envy her for, Hakuei doesn't seem to see herself as a woman. She takes the scar on her face with good cheer, a reminder of the peace she was able to achieve through negotiation and diplomacy, rather than a mark that can potentially ruin her for marriage; she even mentions all the numerous scars she already has lightly and without much care. As for hobbies and whatnot, she enjoys cooking, sewing, and is extremely skilled at riding horses; however, she's also absolutely terrible at cooking. It's been stated that her cooking has almost killed her servant and Hakuryuu many times. On the other hand though, she's so talented at sewing that her hand-embroidered works are famous.
Abilities: Hakuei has captured the dungeon of Paimon, the Djinn of Maniacal Love and Chaos. This has granted her the ability to control wind and even create tornadoes. While powerful, due to her small amount of Magoi, this doesn't last for long. Because Paimon is a fertile Djinn, many Household Vessels can be made and given to people who are either close to Hakuei or help her. Household Vessels can give special abilities to the users as well. Hakuei's Metal Vessal, with which she controls Paimon's power, is a metal flabellum with feather-like appendages.
Aside from her powers as a dungeon capturer, Hakuei is skilled in swordplay. It is her first weapon of choice when in close combat, and she is confident enough in her skills to challenge one of her commanders to a one-on-one duel. She is also extremely skilled at horse riding. Other: please don't eat her cooking
Third Person: Hakuei sighed, putting the papers down and away to be looked at another time. She couldn't concentrate on them for the moment; how could she when a war was looming on the horizon? Even if the Kougas' elder seemed willing to speak with her, Hakuei had no right to offer peace and negotiation if Ryosai continued to threaten them like he had earlier that day. Perhaps she could discuss the matter with someone... But she was the general of the army; how could she expect her soldiers to follow her if she couldn't even come up with a plan?
It was harder than she expected, arguing for peace. No one could have really desired bloodshed over negotiation. If only they were willing to trust her more... Though again, she couldn't fault them much for that. Ryosai may have argued that subjugating them through force was the easier path, but Hakuei refused to agree to it. Such a method would only make them more likely to rebel one day, and there was no point in asking people to join the Kou Empire if the only other option was death. She had to convince them somehow, to win their hearts and prevent as many deaths as possible. The people Kouga clan were going to become people of the Kou Empire, her people; she had to protect them no matter what.
Now if only she could find a method! Putting away her papers for the day, Hakuei stepped out of her tent and into the brisk night air. Maybe a walk would be able to clear her head better.

I believe you could argue that her orientation is heterosexual. While not explicitly stated in canon, she seems to be quite close with her cousin Kouen, the first imperial prince of the Kou Empire; one of Kouen's younger sisters thinks they're too close, in fact, and is evidently bothered by how close and comfortable they are with each other.
