Summary
Natsume Hyuuga is an eleven-year-old male with a Sagittarius birthday on November 27. Standing at 140 cm and weighing 34.5 kg, he possesses a Red Alice Stone and wields the powerful Fire Alice. Recognized as a genius, Natsume frequently skips class despite his exceptional intelligence. His dangerous abilities and cold demeanor cause many students at the Academy to hate and fear him, leading to isolation and bullying that he largely ignores. Conversely, his specific class holds him in high regard and obeys his commands. Natsume harbors deep suspicion toward adults, believing they abuse their power over younger students, and is deeply unhappy with the school. He participates in shady, top-secret missions for the Academy, often returning injured, which exacerbates the physical toll his Alice takes on him. Using his powers severely stresses his body and shortens his lifespan, a condition that has been progressing for a year prior to the series. Consequently, he is often seen coughing blood or losing consciousness. Initially, he strongly resisted being paired with Mikan by their mostly absent teacher, Narumi, but eventually accepts the arrangement. He grows fond of Mikan and his classmates, becoming friendlier over time while retaining his dangerous edge. His circle of friends initially consisted only of Ruka, who understands his reasons for attending the Academy. However, Natsume becomes deeply protective of Mikan, exhibiting extreme jealousy when other males, such as Narumi or Tsubasa, get close to her. He frequently expresses this jealousy by kicking older boys, pulling Mikan away from others, or burning the tips of her hair to regain her attention. As the only Special Star in the Elementary Division, he is entitled to numerous luxuries, though he rarely takes advantage of them.
