Kabura Honda

Kabura Honda is a friend in Nico Hirata's clique who was originally a regular human patient at a hospital, where she fell in love with Haru Nanakusa. After Haru made Kabura her underling to cure her of her afflictions, she was requested by her to look after Haru's child, Nazuna Nanakusa. Raising Nazuna as her own daughter, she continued to relish her life as a vampire and nurse at the hospital Haru worked at. Following her first encounter with Nazuna's underling candidate, Kou Yamori, Kabura served an important role in uncovering Nazuna's past. Kabura is somewhat tall, the second-tallest vampire in Nico Hirata's clique, second only to Nico herself. She has frizzy black hair that reaches her shoulders and black, vacant eyes. Typical for vampires, Kabura is exceptionally attractive. Her outfits are defined by a preference for dresses and long skirts. Her main outfit is a black dress with a turtleneck, with a part of her chest and arms covered by diaphanous fabric, and shoes with heels. At work, she wears a classic nurse uniform that ends at her upper thighs, with slippers serving as her footwear. When she was still a human, her fashion style was about the same as her current one. However, she only got to wear regular clothes when she was out of the hospital and mostly wore a standard patient gown. Kabura gives off a gloomy aura and is scarred on the inside. In her first appearance, she is first shown to have a playful attitude and sense of humor when around her fellow vampires. Like her friends, Kabura loves alcohol, like red wine and beer, and likes talking about romantic topics. She enjoys teasing others and has an infamous reputation for wanting to take people who are already in a relationship, believing that those who claim to be completely loyal to their partners are liars. Later, Kabura displays a much more serious side, being blunt, pulling no punches, and having a no-nonsense attitude when it comes to her job; when Kou and Nazuna enter the hospital illegally at night, she first threatens to report them and only allows them to stay if they wear outfits appropriate for the hospital. In spite of that, she can also be surprisingly pleasant. When Kou and Nazuna try to impress her in their investigation and come to the wrong conclusions, Kabura tells them that the lines they tried to pull off sounded good regardless. As a human, Kabura had a much more friendly personality. Due to getting frequently hospitalized, she felt like a burden and avoided calling for help even when her nose bled. She also disliked making promises since she mostly couldn't keep them. Kabura genuinely wanted to experience everything an ordinary girl would experience but couldn't because of her illness. For her, ordinary activities like taking hot baths, drinking alcohol, or sports like snowboarding were impossible since they required too much energy. Whenever her friends and family neglected her, she would ignore it, make excuses for them, and bury any negative thoughts. But when she realized that her friends never bothered to understand her and didn't honestly care about her, the resentment Kabura built up until that point surfaced; she gave up and confessed that she hated everything, including her parents and friends. She wanted to have a lover, but she hated men. After becoming a vampire, Kabura could live life without worries and felt happy for the first time. She eventually started to enjoy things like alcohol and spending time with men. Her happiness was cut short when her first love fell in love with someone else and died after giving birth. The effect this had on her can still be seen in the present. She is in a constant state of reminiscing the past and questions her own sanity, urging Kou to not become like her. Still, she isn't worried about the effect this has on her popularity, as even in her current emotional state, there will always be men who are willing to listen to her. Kabura doesn't care about her life much but is determined to honor her promise.
