Character Name: Konatsu Warren Canon: 07-GHOST Age: 18 Gender: Male
Canon Point: Chapter 89 History:Here! Personality: Konatsu is not the most skilled, experienced, or talented of the Black Hakws. By far, he's the least remarkable of all of them, except in how remarkably plain and remarkably out of place he is -- he is someone that cannot use Wars (a sort of powerful and rare dark magic) and yet he's a member of a group that specializes in such.
And yet, as far as Konatsu is concerned that's just fine. He's not doing what he is for the sake of fame or recognition. In his mind, he exists to serve; he's trained all his life to be able to protect Ayanami and has achieved a position where doing so is not only possible, but is actually his job. He fulfills his duty as Hyuuga's begleiter diligently, as well, despite the many, many, many headaches he receives in the process of doing so. He'll carefully complete any paperwork that's dumped on him, and even when he yells at Hyuuga to do it himself Konatsu tends to be less concerned for himself and more for Hyuuga. Life will be more difficult for the Major if he falls behind, after all.
Put simply, Konatsu is just about the best subordinate one could hope for. He's obedient without sacrificing his intelligence, ambitious enough to benefit his superiors without getting in their way and, above all else, loyal. It would be a stretch to say that everything Konatsu does is in service to the Black Hawks and Ayanami, but it's a close thing. He has ambitions of his own but most of those he thinks about in terms of far-future plans. Konatsu watches after himself, but he would be lying if he said that wasn't mostly because his death would be inconveniencing and worse for Hyuuga.
However, his loyalty reaches such an extent that it can turn right around and become detrimental to his health. If it's to protect Hyuuga or Ayanami, Konatsu doesn't balk at facing opponents that direly outclass him. It combines unpleasantly with his strong will at times. The same stubbornness that saw him picking himself up again and again despite suffering from broken bones and lacerations also sees him staring down enemies that could and would murder him without breaking a sweat. There are many, many instances where he's stood against enemies when turning around and running away would have been the much smarter, safer course of action. He doesn't, though, because running could cause trouble for Ayanami and Hyuuga.
Konatsu approaches everything in life with a very serious state of mind. There's no (or at least very little) joking around or playing games in Konatsu's daily schedule. He's very duty-minded and considers his job as a member of the Black Hawks his absolute top priority. However, Konatsu isn't completely serious and blank-faced all of the time. There are very rare moments where Konatsu can be seen playing along with the antics of his companions, and more common moments where he loses his cool. After being 'adopted' as Shuri's older brother he had one of these moments -- Shuri combined with Hyuuga's usual lazy behavior combined with being told that he would be training a pair of twins that couldn't even speak the same language as the rest of them... It was enough to send Konatsu into a frenzy of frustrated anger and force Hyuuga to pick him up and dangle him until he calmed down. He's got a bit of a dramatic steak, as well, and can be a little over-the-top when it comes to bemoaning Hyuuga's shortcomings.
It's moments like these that prove that, as much as Konatsu wishes otherwise, he's fairly high strung. Relaxing isn't just something he doesn't often do, it's something that's very hard for him to do. He doesn't take his position for granted, and every day he works just as hard to prove he deserves it as he did to earn it. This state of mind is a sharp contrast to that of Hyuuga, Konatsu's brilliant, skilled, and lazy direct superior. It's a source of frequent frustration for Konatsu, who frequently gets tasked with completing Hyuuga's paperwork. He does it, and he doesn't try to shirk his duty, but complaints about Hyuuga's lack of dedication to the menial but vital parts of his job are frequent.
Fortunately, Konatsu is very polite, as well as being keenly aware of rank and station. He always addresses those around him properly and formerly. This extends to respect for the dead as well. Konatsu doesn't revel in bloodshed and feel no joy in ending the lives of enemies, and is quick to scold someone that reacts to death gleefully. He shows a surprising amount of compassion for someone of his rank and occupation. He allowed Shuri, recently traumatized by his first encounter with the brutality of war, to sob and cling to him in the aftermath of battle. He expresses genuine concern when Teito, who had been manipulated into working with the Black Hawks at the time, became ill after passing out.
But Konatsu isn't a bleeding heart by any stretch of the imagination. There are multiple instances when it becomes clear that his sense of propriety extends further than his compassion. He pays his respects at the funeral of Wakaba Oak, the military's leader, but the man was a hinderance to Ayanami. Konatsu felt nothing at Wakaba's death. In the end, Konatsu is a Black Hawk and he's loyal only to the other Black Hawks.
Powers: Canon is never clear on what powers, if any, Konatsu actually has -- it mostly just focuses on a specific type of power that he doesn't have. Because of that, I'm going to play it safe and assume that he has no significant powers beyond being really good with a sword.
