As everyone knows, Hiei is short, taciturn, bad-tempered, rude, arrogant, impatient, sarcastic, touchy, ruthless, unfriendly, cold, a potty-mouth, full of violent and criminal impulses, and notably lacking in a sense of humor. Of course, he also has many good qualities to balance this, and as soon as we think of any we'll list them here. Hiei has spiky black hair in the shape of a candle flame, with a star-shaped white blaze in front. He has two ordinary red eyes and one violet eye in his forehead for Sunday best. The violet eye, his Jagan, is normally kept covered by a headband, because, 1) it drives humans insane to look at it, and, 2) he's cuter with the band on. Looking at Hiei, and especially the stature and the hair, it is difficult to escape the conclusion that he is descended from either Vegeta or Panthea's childhood pony, Star. Hiei uses fire attacks. His strongest attack releases the Kokuryuu (Black Dragon). One might think that Kokuryuu are always huge, nasty, frightening creatures, but actually they make sensitive lovers ('Sex with the Black Dragon') and responsible children ('Kurokichi's Family Situation'), as well as tasty snacks ('Sensui vs. Hiei-chan Again?!'). Because Hiei's face has just about exactly the same dimension's as a kitten's, many djka give in to the overwhelming temptation to draw him cute. Others give in to the equally understandable temptation to draw him as a bug. We've included pics of both kinds so you can judge for yourself which better catches the resemblance. |
