Hanako was born on Planet Yamatai as an Elf in May YE 07 as Sami Rainchill, daughter of Kalnius and Meruru Rainchill, with one older brother, Maether; She was orphaned in YE 08 by The Great Plague of YE 08, and “saved” (forced into servitude) by PNUgen Corporation and at seven years old was transferred to a NH-3W body in YE 14 for a PNUgen KNI testing program until YE 17.
Joined Ketsurui Yui in YE 18 and has been with her much of her life. Shinjuku Hinosami was trained as a personal servant and bodyguard. In late YE 27, Yui renamed her Hanako and she was transferred to an X-NH-22 body. In YE 28, Hanako was promoted to Taisa by Yui and assigned command of the YSS Nozomi (NS-X1-250) and later second-in-command of the YSS Sakura (NG-X1-360) where she once died in YE 28.
During this period, Hanako was present on Nepleslia during the start of the war between the Greens and Reds of Nepleslia. In an attempt to escape, she hired mercenaries to eliminate her police pursuers…something she regrets.
Hanako also helped spark the civil war between the Lorath and Occhestans, by taking the virginity of the Lorath queen, which led to a coverup that resulted in a factional split.
Hanako was resurrected through use of a memory backup system in [::ye_29]] and went back into service with the Star Army after spending some time at the palace with Yui. She was captured, tortured, and impregnated by Mishhuvurthyar/Neko conspirators in YE 29, but was rescued by Kessaku Sakai Yuuko. She subsequently gave birth to three Mishhuvurthyar that had been implanted in her during her capture. Hanako was severely injured when she led the invasion of PNUgen headquarters, but returned to captain the Sakura, and bring it deep into Mishhuvurthyar territory to seek out the ”Dark Ones.”
During the Second Battle of Urghflau, Hanako successfully led a team that rescued the former Empress Ketsurui Yuumi. Giving up her own Mindy armor to keep Yuumi safe, Hanako ordered her teammates to teleport first. Hanako herself, sadly, did not make it out.
During this time period, Hanako was given ownership of Hanako's Star, which she had explored during her time on the YSS Sakura. Hanako assigned workers to begin developing the world for resorts and farming. Today it is a key provider of the Empire's food.
Hanako was resurrected by her adoptive mother, Yui, at the Empress' Palace, and after a brief recovery period, was reunited with her crew and assigned command of the upgraded YSS Plumeria. Hanako liked the Plumeria, but it didn't last. After losing it to Melisson, she was given command of its replacement, the YSS Elfin Princess, which she also lost to Melisson. Her latest ship is the YSS Eucharis, which she has captained for over five years.
During the initial outbreak of the Second Mishhuvurthyar War, Hanako ordered the self-destruction of the Star Army Fleet Depot at Nataria System. Hanako also participated in the Battle of Elysia.
In YE 33, Hanako went to the Shara to make first contact with the Gartagen (Mission 12.1). Then she participated in the The Battle of Yamatai. At the end of the year, Hanako went to Planet H to recover her second body from the planet's surface.
In YE 34, both Hanakos transferred into a new NH-33 Series Nekovalkyrja body.
During shore leave at the end of the year, Hanako met Luca Pavone and gave him her autographed hat. Just after this, she agreed to be Jalen Sune's girlfriend.
