Homura was initially a good shinobi. She hailed from a prestigious shinobi clan, so the life of a shinobi would quickly ensue. Ever since her first year of Elementary school she had been training to become a powerful shinobi and wanted to be the best there was. Every day she had been training and under a lot of pressure from her parents. Eventually, the stress had built up. Her teacher in Middle School was a kind male University graduate. Her teacher was a sort of 'oasis' for her. He would listen to her talk about pointless things, etc. He was a 'special existence' to Homura.

She talked to the teacher during her second year about her plans after Middle School. She revealed herself as being from a shinobi clan to him, seeing as she thought he was the only one she could trust with this knowledge to keep secret. Upon receiving this information, her teacher attacked her, revealing her to be an evil shinobi tasked with discovering her clan's secret.

Homura was quite shocked by this but refused to believe the man she trusted to be so cruel. He'd further tell her he never cared to hear about her pointless talks and only used her naivety to get close to her. Due to the shock of learning this, Homura snapped. She remembers nothing after that other than a blood-stained teacher's face. She says if she hadn't met that evil shinobi she might have been able to become an average good shinobi student. Because of this act, her parents disowned her and forced her to leave her home. All she had was the sword said to be her family's heirloom to take with her and a broken heart.

Betrayed by the person she trusted and disowned by her parents, she wandered the streets, later confronted by a woman who offered her the option to join Hebijo, stating, "The past doesn't matter, Hebijo welcomes anyone. Evil shinobi are more tolerant than good ninjas." And thus she became the second-year Hebijo elite, Homura.

At the surface of her appearance, Homura has a relatively relaxed demeanor upon interaction. She can be calm until a present situation prompts her to get serious. She's not one for conversation as she believes actions speak louder than words. She also follows the idea from her former sensei, Rin, that silence is a shinobi's best weapon.

She can become impatient sometimes and displays headstrong qualities when trying to solve a present problem. Her desire to get things done tends to land her in awkward situations, especially if it concerns Hanzō. This typically leads to her saying the opposite of what she truly means. Her comrades often tease her, being called a mindless thinker who often doesn't want others to know how she feels, especially Haruka.

She becomes very intense when fighting and focuses mainly on testing her opponent's strength to see them worthy of even fighting. This is especially displayed in her heated rivalry with Asuka. When fighting a well-versed enemy, Homura can become ruthless and is not afraid to kill another if presented with the chance/reason.

Homura has shown trust issues due to her history of being a shinobi. She does not like being deceived but accepts that it can be used as a tool in the shinobi world. Her relationship with her comrades was not always strong, seeing as how none of them trusted her or even liked each other. However, leading to the incident that forced Homura into exile, her relationship grew more assertive with her comrades as they chose to follow instead of abandoning her. Now Homura has a strong urge and responsibility to become a strong enough leader so that she can lead her team and protect them as they grow to become fearsome shinobi.

She has also shown a feeble grasp of humor as her sense of humor is that she makes poses of sea creatures such as crabs, shrimp, etc. while saying the name of the creature she is doing, even using her swords for the pose.

Homura has tanned skin and her dark brown hair is tied in a long ponytail with a white ribbon, the ends of the ribbon standing straight up. In Portrait of Girls and Burst, she dons the usual Hebijo uniform, an all-black sailor fuku with red trim. Like Asuka, she wears wrist guards on her forearms with bandages underneath. She wears loose white socks with brown dress shoes.

Homura is a fierce fighter who utilizes six katanas at will. She slashes about and overpowers her enemies with fierce strikes and her duel-wielding capabilities allow her a great range of reach for her attacks to hit.

The Nodachi placed upon her back is a powerful tool that allows her to enter her Crimson Mode. This sword also allows her to wield all seven swords (including the Nodachi) and acts as a guide and an enabler for more ferocious attacks. In that event, she becomes far more potent as the Crimson energy flowing through her body and sword fuse together to create a monstrous foe.
