Hakuto (ハクト) is a genin-level kunoichi of Sunagakure and the head of the Hōki Family.
Background
Hakuto was raised by other members of her family, including her elder sister and bodyguard Shijima, due to her parents passing away in the war.
Personality
Due to never leaving the village, Hakuto is very interested in the outside world and how living organisms, like cacti, bloom and function. She was disciplined to not panic in dangerous situations.
Appearance
Hakuto has inky black hair, that comes down to her shoulders, slender body figure and clear and fair skin, under which it is possible to see faint outlines of muscle from shinobi training. She wears a simple, but high quality material, kimono, with a few gems woven between the threads. Gaara noted her to be as light as a feather.
Abilities
Hakuto is capable of using Wind Release to assist her in medical treatment, like cooling down burns. She can use Mystical Palm Technique to heal an injured person's cells. Despite that, however, Hakuto is still highly inexperienced.
Blank Period
Gaara Hiden: A Sandstorm Mirage
Hakuto met Gaara in an arranged marriage meeting, set up by her family and the Suna Council. When their handlers left them alone, Gaara, after several silent minutes, asked what Hokuto's hobbies were. However, when Gaara started speaking about his passion for raising cacti, Hakuto was intrigued and it dispelled some of the rumors she'd heard about him from the Kazekage's days as "Gaara of the Sand Waterfall". Hakuto, not knowing of his former violent ways, declared Gaara to be "kind".
Their conversation was cut short, however, when a group of terrorists broke in with an attempt to kill Gaara. Protected by the Kazekage's Shield of Sand, the kunoichi started getting pale, but managed not to panic. After seeing a person die for the first time in front of her eyes, Hakuto started to tear up, but Gaara only thought to himself that it was a sign of her good mental health. When Etoro and Metoro Konjiki were talking with Gaara, Hakuto was trembling from fear, being afraid of not only the terrorists, but Gaara too. The twin brothers then deployed their cooperation technique, targeting Hakuto, but Gaara managed to protect her and, with Shijima's help, defeat the two and kill them. After the fight, Hakuto rushed to Gaara's aid, bandaged his injured arm and apologised for being a nuisance. When the Kazekage noted not to dirty her hands, she gave him a glare, asking him to listen to the medical-nin after a fight. Hakuto cooled down the burn, rinsed it and used her chakra to heal the injury.
After the event, Hakuto met Gaara in a hotel corridor, where she smiled at him and had a brief conversation. Later that night, however, she was kidnapped.
It was later revealed, Hakuto and her childhood sweetheart, Shigezane directed and acted that with her elder sister, Shijima's help. It was because that Hakuto refuse this political marriage by heart. However, she and Shijima are reluctant to kill Gaara when caught by him. Gaara later spared this pair and ask his brother-in-law Shikamaru to take them to Konohagakure to begin a new life, with a political lie claimed that Hakuto was killed by Shigezane and the latter was executed.
