Amane

Amane (アマネ) is a female servant of the Zoldyck Family.

She along with her grandmother Tsubone, are ordered by Silva Zoldyck to accompany Killua Zoldyck, and Alluka Zoldyck on their trip to save Gon Freecss. She appears in the manga, and in the 2011 Hunter x Hunter anime series.

Background

Not much about her early past is known. Not even about her parents or birthday. However she has a grandma.

Personality

Amane is described as being a person who is very loyal to Silva, and will not hesitate at anything to execute his orders that are given to her. She is not good at hiding her expressions without her grandmother Tsubone being around, as shown when Gotoh mentions Illumi's name. Despite her would be cold demeanor, she seems to be fairly feminine as she blushed when Canary had called her "cute".

Appearance

2011

Just like all the other loyal servants of the Zoldyck Family, Amane wears a male black formal tuxedo suit and tie. She has light fair skin, a flat nose, two thick eyebrows and long black hair that is combed backwards, while leaving two hair strands hanging down over her forehead.

Abilities

As a butler of the Zoldyck family and one of Silva's two most trusted employees, with the other being her grandmother, Amane is an expert fighter and also a resourceful servant. She has a superhuman degree of durability, as seen by surviving a car crash engineered by Illumi.[2] In the 2011 anime series, she displayed enhanced strength and speed, as well as combat proficiency, by kicking away and bending a iron bar that was directed towards Killua and Alluka at high speed.[13] Her peculiar fighting stance may suggest that she is a practitioner of some form of unarmed combat, as long as if it is not related to her Nen abilities.[5]

Advanced Agility

Amane can quickly leap on to the top of a tree.[6]

Enhanced Speed and Reflexes

Amane is very fast enough to keep up with Killua, Canary, and Gotoh,[2] although she is also slower than Tsubone.[6] She can nonetheless steer her in her motorcycle form on a winding road despite the tremendous speed reached, in which easily dwarfs Killua's Speed of Lightning.[3]

Skilled Driver

Amane is very capable of driving cars[8] as well as motorcycles,[3] gliders, and whose weapons she also knows how to operate,[6] and presumably all other vehicles Tsubone can transform into.

Nen

Although Amane has not shown any Nen abilities of her own, she knows about the existence of the aura, in which she fueled Tsubone with in her motorcycle form,[3] and she has enough of it to fly her glider form for several minutes, if not several hours.[6] Since her arrival seems to have surprised Killua, it is possible that Amane is a skilled Zetsu user.[7]

Hunter X Hunter (Anime)

13th Hunter Chairman Election arc

Silva Zoldyck tasks Amane and her grandmother Tsubone with accompanying and monitoring Killua in his endeavor to save his friend Gon Freecss with Nanika's powers. She is ordered to seize Alluka immediately if Killua moves more than one meter away from her. She introduces herself to Canary with an air of disdain. After Tsubone goes into hiding right after granting Alluka's first request, Amane rides in a limousine with Killua, Alluka, and Gotoh. She fails to hide her anxiety when Gotoh greets Illumi over the phone, allowing Killua to determine that his brother's agenda clashes with his father and grandfather's, and that he wants to kill Alluka. As soon as Killua challenges him, Illumi has three vehicles driven by manipulated individuals crash into his car and knock it off the mountain road into a forest.

The occupants survive unscathed and become aware of Illumi's position thanks to Hisoka triggering his bloodlust. Amane recommends changing their course and the group begins to run through the woods. Killua declares himself suspicious of her, so she responds that her and her grandmother are not his enemies, and that neither are Silva and Zeno, as they instructed them to protect him. Killua stops abruptly, and, after declaring that they will be his enemies as long as Alluka's protection is not one of their concerns, activates Speed of Lightning and disappears into the woods with Alluka. The three butlers begin to give chase, but soon run into Hisoka. Amane prepares to intercept his attack, but Gotoh deflects it and tells her and Canary to keep following Killua while he deals with the magician.

After being updated on Killua's direction by her grandmother, Amane and Canary quickly catch up to him by riding Tsubone's motorcycle form, but they lose him when he jumps back into the woods. Tsubone questions the two on what his next move might be. Amane first suggests a disguise, but, with her grandmother's hints, realizes his destination is likely Parasta's airport. The three butlers head him off there, with Tsubone going back into hiding. Amane books an airship, but Killua protests by saying that they will need at least five or six others to shake Illumi off. While Amane books six more airships and Canary feigns incompetence to distract her, Killua slips away with Alluka, by causing Amane to get angry with Canary, who merely replies she looks cute when she loosens up and that Killua would like her better like that. They then split up and while Canary boards one of the decoy airships, Amane follows Killua's from the ground with her grandmother, who turns into a glider and instructs her to shoot down any suspicious flying objects.

After landing, Killua immediately finds himself surrounded by Illumi and his Needle People. Tsubone and Amane come out into the open and the former offers to pay the consequences for Killua's wish together with her granddaughter, who becomes anxious. Everyone is shocked when Killua asks Nanika to heal Tsubone's hand, explaining that there needs to be physical contact for Nanika to fix something, and claiming that healing wishes have no backlash. Illumi withdraws and Amane drives Killua to the hospital where Gon is.

When she gets there, she and her grandmother's watch over Killua as he waits for Alluka to wake up so he can restore his friend.[8][9] The tremendous power unleashed by Nanika while healing Gon causes Amane to lose her composure.[10] When, after Gon and his friends leave, Illumi arrives at the hospital, Amane is visibly upset by his proposition to manipulate both Killua and Alluka. At Killua's request, she and her grandmother leave him alone while he talks to Nanika.

She is later on seen paying her respects to the recently deceased Gotoh, and is surprised and when she sees Gotoh walk up behind her. Amane questions on how this is possible, and Canary explains that a Kiriko was hired to impersonate the butler in order to keep Killua from realizing that he had been killed trying to protect him.
