Hana Kurusu

Hana Kurusu is a character in the Jujutsu Kaisen series. She is a a young sorcerer who shares her body symbiotically with the Angel, an incarnated sorcerer from the Heian Era. Hana participated in the Culling Game so the Angel could hunt down and eliminate other incarnated players, including the Disgraced One, Sukuna.

Appearance
Hana is a young girl around the same age and height as Yuji and Megumi. She has deep green eyes and neck-length blonde hair styled into bangs over her forehead and deep curls at the ends that curve inward over her shoulders. As host to the Angel, Hana also possesses wings and a halo over her head.

During the Culling Game, Hana wore a tan sweater with thicker material around the neck, shoulders, and forearms. It extended all the way to her height and her legs were covered with dark leggings that tucked into shoes with similar material as the sweater around the ankles.

Hana was critically wounded by Sukuna and lost her right arm. Prior to the Shinjuku Showdown, Hana wore a light-colored dress with small ruffles across four bands that came down from the shoulders until they her belt. It had a button-up collar and a bow tie on the skirt. Her black leggings and shoes were similar to her normal outfit but without the sweater material. Hana returned to the same outfit she wore during the Culling Game for the Shinjuku Showdown.

Personality
Hana is a fairly calm, friendly, and well-mannered person whose actions are brave and outgoing. She wants to help people and was inspired as a young child by Megumi to do so. When they were both children, Megumi rescued her from a cursed spirit who held her hostage for a year, a kindness she never forgot. Hana not only developed romantic feelings for Megumi, but a profound desire to do for others what he did for her as well. She believes that destiny is everything, so she continues to help people in hopes of becoming someone worthy of standing by his side.

The origins of Hana's relationship with the Angel are unknown but she never expressed an issue. She was disgusted on the Angel's behalf for the way Yuji spoke to her when they disagreed. The Angel prioritized Hana's protection over helping people with Yuji but the young girl decided to place herself in danger on behalf of others regardless.

Hana has good social skills and got along well with Yuji and Fumihiko shortly after meeting them. As someone who buys deeply into the idea of fate, Hana has a poetic side to her, referring to Megumi as the "Destined One" upon reuniting. After this point, however, Hana was more reserved around Megumi and didn't want him to know who she was. Hana was outwardly embarrassed when the Angel nearly revealed her secret and asked them not to say anything else about her.

Hana appears to put positivity above any kind of tension and maintains a friendly disposition even when things are unpleasant. Despite Yuji's argument with the Angel, which she found unsettling, Hana still offered him an invitation to apologize in a playful manner to mend the tension shortly after. She appreciates Yuji for always making her look good around her crush and often jokes with him in the same way Nobara Kugisaki used to, on Megumi's behalf.

Hana's passion and devotion to Megumi led her to act entirely out of emotion when he was taken over by Sukuna. She fought desperately to save Megumi and was blinded by her love when Sukuna led her into a trap. He easily fooled Hana into believing Megumi had regained control of his body and she paid severely. Despite losing Megumi and her injuries, Hana still remains an ally to jujutsu sorcerers and does what she can to aid them.

Perfect Preparation Arc
At some point, during the early stages of the Culling Game, Hana was seen floating upside-down in the skies over Tokyo.

Culling Game Arc
Hana descends upon Megumi as he collapses from exhaustion from his fight against Reggie Star. Hana takes Megumi back to a motel for him to recover along with Takaba and Yuji and explains that her and the Angel are in an Symbiotic relation of host and vessel, with her agreeing to unseal Gojo after Sukuna's defeat. However Sukuna eventually takes over Megumi's body and critically wounds her.

Shinjuku Showdown Arc
She was later healed by Yuta Okkotsu and Shoko Ieiri after being saved earlier by Rin Amai and possibly by Takaba. Hana then used Jacob's Ladder on the back gate of the Prison Realm to unseal Satoru Gojo.

Abilities and Powers
Overall Abilities: Hana is a willing combatant but her fighting capabilities were infrequently on display during the Culling Game. She was very capable at mid-range, using her wings to fly while accurately casting cursed techniques.

Hana, did, however, accomplish several feats outside of combat throughout the event. She not only has wings with the ability fly, but access to the Angel's cursed technique as well. This grants her numerous advantages an average sorcerer does not have the luxury of. For example, by canceling out cursed techniques, Hana can pass through barriers. She could freely move between Culling Game colonies before rule thirteen was added while nearly all other players are trapped by the barriers.

While the Angel's technique is responsible for all of her jujutsu prowess, Hana is still a capable sorcerer who performs the actions to utilize her abilities. Hana scored points in the Culling Game but she mainly helped rescue people while she was around Megumi and Yuji. Her wings made it easier to move around and carry others to safety. This is just one aspect of Hana's immense contributions to Yuji and his allies. Her signature technique, Jacob's Ladder, is responsible for freeing Satoru Gojo.
