Hazuki Kashiwabara

Personality:   Hazuki is currently unemployed yet she is a top freelance programmer. Appearance: Hazuki is 40 years old and 5 foot 7. Hazuki has long jet black hair tied into a ponytail. She wears green hair ornaments, some being held in through her own hair. Santa claims in the cargo room that her hair is "ridiculous" and that its texture is "like clay or something". Her hair also slightly resembles dreadlocks or braids. She wears a dark teal choker around her neck. She is seen wearing little clothing on her upper body, as she is a belly dancer. Her upper outfit is a turquoise crop top. The top is detailed with gold around all the edges, and has a large hole in the back. It is held together by a golden ring on the front, and on the back as well. On her upper chest, she wears an exquisite golden necklace and a moon decor below her navel. She wears gold jewelry around her biceps and wrists, although Zero apparently had to remove the one on her left wrist in order to put her bracelet on. On her lower body, she wears a red shawl on her hips which is also adorned with gold accents and jewelry and resembling coins. Under the wraparound, she wears dark teal pants which resemble silk that are loose on the bottom, resembling "bellbottom" pants. She wears golden snake sandals. Unlike her fingernails, Hazuki only wears red nail polish on her toenails. She has three gold rings on her left hand. She has a bracelet on her left wrist and its number is 8. Personality: Hazuki was usually very cryptic and spoke what she called nonsense most of the time. She had an easy going and laid-back personality, but has a strong backbone where it counts. She could be snarky and sarcastic at times and make jokes. However, if anyone had insulted her age, called her an old lady, or made a joke about the way she was dressed, she would turn into what Seven called a demon. She fights with Seven after he tells her that "nobody wants to hafta look at a chick who looks like a half-naked raisin." She also doesn't get along with Santa because of his rude comments towards her. Hazuki is also slightly brash, and won't hesitate to correct someone if they are wrong. She tries her best to prioritize logic over emotions, and tells someone to shut up for being unrealistically idealistic. She seems to possess a softer side at times, and is able to sympathize with her companions despite seeming self-serving at times. Hazuki is very intelligent. Her previous occupation was working at a IT (information technology) firm. Hazuki has proven to be a very skilled in computer coding, programming and hacking. She also enjoys belly dancing. According to herself, she's a great cook who can "boil hot water and put in instant noodles" and "boil eggs". Hazuki is based on the "Individualist" Enneagram of Personality, which desires to have an identity of its own, as well as being unique instead of just another member in a crowd. This could explain Hazuki's unique hairstyle, clothing and outspoken nature. Don’t let the curvy silhouette fool you; she is a top-rated programmer and her IQ is extremely high. She may seem selfish and cold, but she’s actually the most rational and sensible out of all of them. She has the intellectual ability to make very logical decisions. Family: Hazuki was married at 19 to a man named Ichiro she later divorced however she gave birth to twin girls named Ennea and Nona she loves very much. She refused to go deeper into why she divorced to Junpei suggesting it was a heavy story. Backstory: At some point in time, she used to live in Silicon Valley, San Francisco, California, an area known for its technology firms. Also at some point in time, she worked for an IT firm as a computer programmer for a cyber-security firm, but later quit for an unknown reason. Her behavior when asked about it implies there is something more to the story behind her quitting. She then became an unemployed freelance computer programmer. During the First Nonary Game, Nona and Ennea were kidnapped by members of Cradle Pharmaceutical, a pharmaceutical company. When Nona and Ennea were rescued 9 days later, they had never informed Hazuki of what they had experienced during the First Nonary Game. Hazuki inferred this as a sign that they saw something terrible, so she took them to the doctor, only to be informed that they weren't physically harmed. She didn't try to force them to talk about it because she feared that they would have to relive their experiences. Eventually, they started to act like they always had before they were kidnapped, so Hazuki decided to drop the issue of forcing them to talk about it. However, she decided to investigate this matter on her own, without telling her children, but her investigation yielded nothing to her dismay. Also, the police had not aided in the investigation, so the Nonary Game issue was swept under the rug. She believed that the media or an organization was covering up what really happened, which is exactly what happened. Recently, she also took up belly dancing as a hobby, which explains her choice of clothing. During 999, she is still unemployed. Plot: Nine years after the events of the First Nonary Game, Hazuki was kidnapped at her home at midnight by a person wearing a cloak and a gas mask. She was knocked out by the anesthetic Soporil and transported to Building Q in Nevada in order to play the Nonary Game herself. This was because Akane saw that Hazuki was necessary to create a future in which she would be saved, and also to solve a computer puzzle in one of the escape rooms. In addition, Hazuki would finally learn the truth of what occurred to her traumatized children 9 years ago and have some closure on this mystery. She survived the Second Nonary Games with Junpei, Akane, Santa, Clover, Seven, and Ace. Ace was arrested for being the CEO of Cradle Pharmaceuticals responsible for the kidnappings and trauma caused to children such as her twins in the past.
