Hope Oushi

"Whaddya call an Oni Lookout anyway?"

- Hope

Hope Oushi is the Oni lookout on The Survivor.

Appearance
Hope has light blonde hair that goes down to her ears and spikes out, sky blue eyes and pale skin. She has long horns on the top of her head and the hind legs of a fawn. She wears a tight-fitting blue top with green cuffs halfway down her upper arms and a funny pattern at the bottom. Unusually for Oni, she wears no chains.

Personality
Hope is happy and cheery at all times, always keeping everyone around her happy. She tells jokes from her post as lookout to cheer people up and make them laugh. As the sole lookout, she hardly ever comes down from her post, unless they land. When not on duty, she is almost always drunk.

Observant
To be a lookout, you've got to be at least somewhat observant. Hope can spot any inconsistencies in anything she's familiar with, even when drunk.

Phasing
Hope can use an ability known as phasing. By adjusting the density of an object, she can phase other things through those objects, as if they were apparitions or ghosts.

History
The child of a sealed demon, Hope was born in the grip of a sealing curse, held closed by the government's top magic experts. When The Survivor landed on Earth, however, the seal disappeared. Hope didn't know why until she noticed that the magic experts had disappeared too, replaced instead by a yellow-haired man dressed in a doctor's suit. She thanked him for releasing them before collapsing into his arms. Fade then took Hope back to The Survivor and laid her down in a spare cabin to rest.

Trail of The Survivor
The newcomer rested for three days before she finally woke. When she enquired where she was, Fade avoided the question and offered her a position on the ship as Lookout, which she accepted. She wasn't seen again until the whole crew was challenged by Karimaru, the telepathic mute son of Suzaku Umino and the late Mikoki Umino who bore a striking resemblance to a previous opponent - Human Path. Hope was the first to accept Karimaru's challenge and a long fight ensued, ending in a draw with both opponents unable to move from exhaustion.

Tropes

 * Red Oni Blue Oni: Blue Oni, almost literally.
 * Intangible Man: Se isn't this all the time, but she can use phasing on herself and anything she touches, so it counts.

Trivia

 * Hope is possibly based on Suika Ibuki from Touhou.
