-----Abilities:

-No Longer Human: The ability annuls the skills of anyone Natsumi touches. Furthermore, the ability relies on skin contact and is always active. As such, she can nullify any ability even while restrained as soon and so long as it touches her. Due to their specific condition, the ability also apparently nullifies Sakura Fujimoto’s healing ability.

However, in the case of death, particularly the moment her heart stops beating, Natsumi can be barely saved by an ability - moreover by Alyx's Time Machine by slowing down her flow of time, since No Longer Human won't activate if the user is dead. When Natsumi's heart has been stopped, the blood supply to her brain would cease, causing her to die. When that happens, her ability would cease to exist, and other abilities would work on her again. Therefore, her wounds needed to be swiftly treated and needed immediate resuscitation afterwards to start Natsumi's heart through electric stimulation. If that works, Natsumi will "on the brink of death" state.

There is a specific condition for Fujimoto’s ability to work on Natsumi (in case there are instances when there are no medical devices/services available at a moment) and this is only possible so long as she is in the brink of death. But these abilities would still clash with each other - Natsumi's ability will try to get in the way, however there is a 0.5 second window of opportunity to heal her. After Natsumi is resuscitated and her heart starts moving again, there would be a brief window before the blood reaches her brain. Since her heart would be beating, meaning she is on the brink of death, Fujimoto’s ability will work on her since Natsumi's brain won't be functioning, and her ability won't get in the way. There is the only condition Natsumi may possibly be healed using an ability, but the odds of it succeeding are low. It is also noted that the less time that passed after Natsumi's death, the greater the rate of success would be with the resuscitation method.

-Heat Flame Haze: Natsumi is a very skilled Enjutsushi user and the named successor to the head of the Amanai family. Natsumi's power is the Heat Flame Haze, with it, Natsumi can create and manipulate flames for long-range attacks or use it to create wings, imbue her weapons with fire or super heat them for greater cutting power.

-----Skills:
-Overall Skill Level: Even among the special grade Gifted Users, Natsumi is known to be the strongest Gifted User among the Greenhouse Students, holding both immense amounts of energy and a set of dangerously powerful techniques.

As a student, Natsumi and Alyx were both considered "the strongest", capable of making short work of experienced and powerful gifted users. After realizing and perfecting her capabilities, Natsumi's abilities vastly increased to where she was able to put Xander Caldwell, an elite mercenary hired by The Institution into the defensive and ultimately kill him with her strongest technique, whereas before she and Alyx were no match for the renowned Gifted Killer. As she continued to grow, she eclipsed Alyx's might to where Alyx admitted Natsumi has truly become the strongest alone.


-Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Natsumi, in addition to her overwhelming levels of energy, is also an incredibly formidable martial artist in close combat, with extraordinary physical prowess to back up her skills. She was capable of completely overpowering Agent 6 in hand-to-hand combat, delivering several precise attacks on The Institution's Agent 6's fatal spots, and could even casually fight off and overpower both Agent 3 and Agent 1 with sheer close combat, easily countering their attacks and landing powerful hits that swiftly pummeled them into submission.

-Immense Strength: Natsumi possesses tremendous physical strength to fight against powerful anomalies without a problem, easily causing severe injuries to Agent 6 with powerful punches and throwing him a considerable distance with a single kick during their fight.

-Enhanced Speed and Reflexes: Natsumi is shown to have great speed and can finish a 50-meter track within 3 seconds, implying she can run at speeds of 37.3mph. She's also been shown to dodge the attacks of all five opposing gifted users from The Institution who tried to murder her. Recent events have shown Natsumi to be fast enough to evade Agent 0's Piercing Blood, which travels at the speed of sound, proving she has superb reflexes.

-Expert Swordswoman: Natsumi was given a katana mainly to channel her Flame Haze. Through vigorous training with Megumi, a special weapons master, Natsumi became decent with a sword, able to hold her own against powerful anomalies and even Agent 1, who has exceptional physical prowess.  Natsumi is far more proficient and moves extremely well as a swordswoman. She reinforces her body and blade with Flame Haze energy, allowing her to wield it with superhuman physical prowess. She defeated a large high-level anomaly with a diving stab so powerful it cracked the ground beneath the anomaly.

-----Techniques:
-Blazing Courage: This technique allows the user to eject flames from their weapon.

-Dismantle: Natsumi's default slashing attack. It is normally used for inanimate objects, however it can be used for anomalous entities to great effectiveness.

-Cleave: A slashing attack that adjusts itself depending on the target's toughness and cursed energy level to cut them down in one fell swoop.

-Wings of Crimson: A pair of fiery wings appear on her back, allowing flight.

-Great Blade of Crimson: It coats Natsumi's sword with a flame which she can use to hurl at enemies from a distance, whether as a wave of fire or fireballs. She is also capable of creating fiery constructs to do her bidding.

-Construction: Construction allows the user to conjure an object from nothing. Unlike creating objects within a Domain, things constructed by this technique will not disappear once it has been used.

-Unknowing Fire: Natsumi charges towards her opponent at high speed and delivers a flaming slash usually intending to maim or kill.

-Clear Blue Sky: The user spins their body vertically to deliver a 360° slash.

-Raging Sun: The user unleashes two horizontal slashes to hit or defend from incoming attacks.

-Solar Heat Haze: The user charges towards the target, unleashing a horizontal slash seemingly covered in haze that fails to land, but actually does hit the target

-Blooming Flame Undulation: The user swings their blade in a circular motion that can defend them from all incoming attacks or decapitate multiple enemies at once.

-Flame Dragon: The user unleashes a powerful series of sword slashes that seemingly takes the form of a rampaging dragon engulfed in flames that charges towards the enemy at blinding speeds.

-Rengoku: A devastating dashing slash that the user initiates from a high stance, the technique had enough power to carve a deep impression that burnt the ground where it was unleashed.

-Phoenix Sun Halo Head Dance: The user unleashes a continuous fast and powerful sword attack that seemingly takes the form of a flaming sun phoenix. This technique is capable of decapitating multiple enemies at once.


-----Equipment/Items/Gear:
-Dragon Bone: Dragon-Bone is a anomalous tool and Nami Kimura's masterpiece. Natsumi obtained it after Master Tenjou informed her of the location of Nami's workshop. Dragon-Bone is a thick single-edged blade with three engine-type holes in the back. The blade is connected to a highly mechanical hilt. The bottom section beneath the holes is covered by the extended handguard, which has several square shapes protruding from it. In contrast, it has a much less mechanical handle where the sword is gripped. The handle appears to be is covered in stitched-together cloth and is decorated with a ribbon at the end of the hilt.

This anomalous tool has the ability to absorb the impact of kinetic force as well as various types of energy. Dragon-Bone can eject both forces back out of the three engines to propel the blade at the user's will, granting it far greater cutting power than normal.

-Chain of a Thousand Miles: The Chain of a Thousand Miles is a special grade anomalous tool that was used by Xander Caldwell. It is a mysterious chain that can keep extending its length forever as long as the back end is hidden from view.

The Chain of a Thousand Miles has the appearance of a perfectly normal metal chain. However, it has the ability to keep extending endlessly as long as its use doesn't allow one of the ends of the chain to be seen. There is a clip on the front end that can be used to connect to other anomalous tools in order to extender their range. The chain can also be swung by the user as a blunt force weapon on its own, or both applications at the same time.

-Inverted Spear of Heaven: The Inverted Spear of Heaven is a dagger with a jutte-like shaped blade. It has a "q" shaped circular hand guard that points out on the side of the longer blade. Additionally, the weapon has a black handle with a circular link at the end that allows it to be connection to metal chains or rope.

It has been imbued with an anomalous technique powered by a special foreign type of anomalous energy that allows it to force the stoppage of any other technique it comes into contact with. If a user's target or their ability is hit by the Inverted Spear of Heaven, it will be immediately nullified. Even powerful anomalous techniques like the Limitless can be completely stopped by this weapon.

Personality:
Natsumi is a complex individual, she is an outspoken and feisty young woman who appears to steadfastly believe in her role as the The Strongest Gifted. Carrying herself with grace and dignity, she prides herself on being both a strong woman and a capable individual. She highly commends "the value of life," and to this end, she will ensure that others receive a "proper death." Although usually composed, good-natured and friendly, Natsumi can be angered quickly in the face of pure malice after witnessing firsthand the cruelty that the GOC and the Institution were capable of, particularly their director's inhuman exploitation of Ryūnosuke. She is normally seen to be nonchalant and playful towards close colleagues and friends. However, after the events of the Falling Moon Event, she is unsympathetic and cruel towards both the GOC and the Institution, an example being her blatant disrespect towards The Institution's Headmaster Ganju Gekoomori, and those she claims her enemies.

Biography: Natsumi was born to a family in Osaka, Japan. Her mother and father being a musician, and former military veteran respectively. SHe lived a relatively uneventful life but it was something she could call her own. As she grew up, by age 9 her powers began to bud. Her parents, realizing what was coming, decided to tell her about their heritage, how her family lineage derives from the two most powerful beings; The Dragon and Phoenix Clans and that, Natsumi was the first child to bear both clan's powers, creating something wholly unique to Natsumi alone. They gave her a choice of living normally until she turns 16 or learn to master and control her budding powers. After much thought, she decided that mastering these powers would be the more fun route. And so as the years went, she learned various techniques, trained countless days under her parents, and soon by the age of 16, became powerful enough that her parents could not teach her anything more, she had an adept control over her powers with a myriad of techniques that were taught and passed down to her. She would later be enrolled into The Greenhouse Academy for the Gifted, by her parents and it was here that her skills exponentially grew as she was deployed on missions to take down anomalous threats that could not be contained. It was through her years at the academy that she learned of its seedy underbelly, growing steadily to resent the higher ups. She soon began skipping school, going solo on her own as a middle finger to the higher ups and to a further extent of The Director of the Academy. Her ventures saw her clashing with hired mercenaries of The Institution, an organization that seeks to rid the world of those who are 'gifted', and these clashes would have her face against her toughest opponent yet, another gifted named Xander Cadwell, after getting thouroughly thrashed along side her newly acquainted friends Alyx and Sakura, dying and being resuscitated by both Alyx and Sakura, she came back for a second round and defeated Xander. The three soon began traveling the world afterwards.
