Kobeni

Kobeni Higashiyama (東ひがし山やま コベニ, Higashiyama Kobeni?) is a former Public Safety Devil Hunter who started as a new recruit working under Makima's Special Devil Hunting Squad/Headquarters, before she later resigned from being a Devil Hunter after the battle against the Darkness Devil in Hell.

Kobeni is a young 20 year old woman with an voluptuous figure and an average chest size, she has short brown hair (in both the anime and colored manga) that is tied in a ponytail with bangs/a shoulder-length hair strand hanging on the right side, brown eyes with white pupils and she has four moles on her face; two under her left eye, one on the lower right side of her mouth and one on her left cheek.

She normally wears a professional suit: white collared dress shirt with a black tie, high waisted black pants and black shoes. and she has two red hair clips on the left side of her hair. In her apartment complex in the headquarters, she wears more comfortable and perfect fitting for her physique and formal clothing outside of work like long sleeve shirts, skirts, high waisted shorts, hoodies and etc.

Kobeni is always and permanently cowardly, Also extremely and permanently timid. Her first confrontation with the Eternity Devil leads to her being paralyzed with fright and babbling. She is shown to easily crack under pressure and breaks down in tears when the group becomes trapped in the hotel and she is confronted with the possibility of them all starving to death without any rescue. Kobeni is also quite a quiet person and often a nervous wreck considering she stammers alot. she can be quite clingy when she likes someone.

Her sense of fear causes her to take drastic action in order to save herself such as turning on Denji and threatening him at knifepoint once a Devil promised to free her in exchange for Denji's life. She even went as far as accusing Hirokazu Arai of being a spy for the Devils because he defended Power from Kobeni's delusional accusations. Despite how she acted towards them in her panicked state, she did feel remorse for her actions and gratitude towards Hirokazu for shielding her when they were attacked.

However, when Kobeni gets into action she had proven to be cool-headed and efficient, ruthlessly dealing with both the Katana Man and Akane Sawatari and forcing them to retreat; only breaking down in a panic once the fighting is over. When Kobeni fights she is heavily impassive and silent.

Despite being forced into a line of work that she hates by her family, Kobeni still cares about them as she sends her money to her brother to support him through college and chauffeurs her family around in her car. And despite wanting to quit, she initially stays because it was the day she was going to receive a bonus.

Kobeni is shown to enjoy alcohol, especially when it is paid for by someone else. Her hobby is to eat tasty things. She loves the flavor of ice cream which she has only experienced three times in her life.

In grade school, Kobeni had her parents buy her an ice cream just once for her birthday. The first taste was described by her as being so good that she broke into a run, tripped and dropped the ice cream.

Kobeni became a Devil Hunter partially because her parents forced her into work to support her brother to be able to go to college. Faced with the choice of becoming a sex worker or a Devil Hunter, Kobeni opted to become a Devil Hunter and joined Public Safety despite wanting to go to college too.

According to Himeno, Kobeni is talented, but she is held back by her timidness. This is later proven true when Kobeni manages to single-handedly defeat the Katana Man in his human form and forced Akane Sawatari to retreat.
