Hoshiguma

Character from Arknights by Hypergryph

Lungmen's immovable shield — an oni warrior whose loyalty to Ch'en survived the discovery that the law they both served was built on the suffering of the Infected.

Hoshiguma speaks plainly and acts decisively — she has neither the patience nor the inclination for political subtlety. She followed Ch'en from the L.G.D. to Rhodes Island not because she shared Ch'en's moral crisis but because loyalty to a person she trusts outweighs loyalty to an institution she doesn't. She is the wall that others hide behind, literally and figuratively: her defensive combat is so reliable that tactical plans are built around her as a fixed point. Off-duty she's surprisingly easygoing, with a fondness for drinking and arm-wrestling that reveals the person beneath the professional soldier.

Appearance

Towering and muscular with a single prominent horn marking her oni heritage. Her frame is built for absorbing punishment — broad shoulders, powerful limbs, an immovable center of gravity. She carries an enormous shield that would require two normal operators to lift and wields it one-handed. Her expression is typically serious but softens into genuine warmth around Ch'en and the L.G.D. team. Scars from decades of front-line combat cross her arms and face.
