Pyroclasm

Rin Hisakawa was born with a curse. Born in Japan, she inherited an amulet from her grandmother, a shrine maiden, that had a demon bound in it, and it was cursed so she could never take it off. Her grandmother had used her great courage to seal this demon, summoned by the evil god Mikaboshi into the world in order to cause havoc, into this amulet. Despite her grandmother's heroism, Rin lived a stigmatized life of being cursed with the amulet, unable to remove it or the demon from her. She had to keep herself highly disciplined in order to keep control.

However, she discovered that by using the amulet, she was capable of great power that could be used for good, and she joined the Modern Marvels as the hero Pyroclasm, at the behest of Queen Atlanta. Spotting the admiration Pyroclasm held for Pharaoh Merneith, Atlanta suggested to Merneith that she take the young girl under her wing as her mentor. Though initially hesitant of the idea, it proved a success and it didn't take long for the two to become close friends. Pyroclasm had to live with an unbreakable curse just like Pharaoh did, and Pharaoh helped show her that one cannot let their burdens define who they were. Pyroclasm in returned helped the Pharaoh, helping her to find a new found love and enjoyment in living rather than lamenting on her eternal undeath.

She died fighting Atrophus, her body one of the first annihilated at the event horizon. Her amulet, which survived by a twist of fate, was returned to the Hisakawa family butsudan by Merneith, serving as Rin's ihai.
