Hiyuki

She fights with a big katana, she uses Ice as her power. Her power is presented as a dual gift: it allows her to protect others, but at the same time makes her vulnerable to the suffering of others. In her personal quests and remarks, the thought often sounds that she is afraid of losing herself in this endless echo of other people's voices. Her weapons and fighting style are just the physical embodiment of this inner struggle: each blow is an attempt to drown out one voice in order to hear another, more important one.

She's a Miko of Flaming Sakura. She works at the temple and accepts other people's wishes.

Hiyuki’s clothing in Wuthering Waves is a refined, shrine-maiden-inspired combat outfit dominated by white, crimson red, black, and touches of gold and silver. Her upper body is covered by a predominantly white, off-the-shoulder kimono-style garment with broad, flowing sleeves and layered fabric, while darker black edging and panels provide contrast around the collar, torso, and waist. The sleeves are loose and elegant, with long white fabric extending outward and decorated with red markings, cords, and tassels, giving the outfit considerable movement. Around her waist she wears a structured black tactical-style obi and belt assembly, consisting of overlapping black fabric, leather-like straps, buckles, pouches, and metallic fittings, with small golden ornaments and floral decorations attached to it. Beneath this, her long pleated lower garment is predominantly deep crimson red, extending almost to the ground like a hakama or kimono skirt, with darker red and black sections creating layered vertical folds; white and grey-blue decorative panels appear along portions of the skirt, accompanied by small gold motifs. Her footwear is largely concealed by the long garment but incorporates dark, traditional-inspired sandals with black and grey elements and elevated soles. Her accessories reinforce the miko aesthetic: her long silver-white hair is arranged in an elaborate high style and decorated with red ribbons and ornamental pieces, while additional cords and tassels hang from her clothing. Overall, the combination of pristine white, vivid crimson, restrained black, and delicate gold/silver accents gives Hiyuki an appearance that combines traditional Japanese shrine-maiden imagery with a distinctly battle-ready Wuthering Waves aesthetic.

Hiyuki is shown to be a tall albino woman with fair skin, long white hair and eyelashes, and vibrant red eyes. She has two distinct beauty marks, a small one under her left eye and a larger one on her right shoulder.

Her Tacet Mark is located on the outer side of her upper right thigh.

Hiyuki is a calm, elegant, and dignified woman whose gentle nature lies beneath an exceptionally composed exterior. As the Miko of Flaming Sakura, she carries herself with the quiet authority and grace expected of someone who has spent a very long time bearing an important responsibility. She rarely allows her emotions to overwhelm her, even when confronted with danger, loss, or difficult decisions, and tends to speak and act with deliberate restraint. However, her composure should not be mistaken for coldness or indifference. Hiyuki is deeply compassionate and empathetic, genuinely caring about the people around her and showing her affection more through her actions than through openly emotional displays. She is strongly duty-driven and possesses an unwavering sense of responsibility, willingly placing the protection of others and the preservation of what she has sworn to defend above her own personal desires. This devotion also gives her a self-sacrificing side, as she is willing to endure hardship and loneliness without complaining if she believes doing so is necessary. Beneath her serene and almost untouchable demeanor, however, Hiyuki carries considerable emotional weight. There is a melancholic and introspective quality to her, as though the long years of responsibility, loss, and the passage of time have left wounds that she rarely allows others to see. She can therefore come across as distant at first, but those who earn her trust are likely to discover someone remarkably warm, considerate, and quietly affectionate. Hiyuki is also strong-willed and determined; once she has accepted something as her responsibility, she does not easily abandon it. Overall, she is a sophisticated combination of serenity, compassion, strength, loyalty, and hidden loneliness—a woman who maintains an almost flawless sense of composure while carrying burdens that she would rather bear herself than place upon someone else.
