character
NAME: Heiji Hattori
SERIES: Detective Conan
WIKI LINK: [link]
PERSONALITY: Heiji is a cheerful, friendly young man who's proud of his roots and passionate about solving mysteries. Since his father is the top official at Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters and often enables his interests, Heiji has helped solve the puzzle behind many a murder... and in the process, gotten himself shot, kidnapped, tossed over the side of a boat, and attacked by a murderer with a katana. Despite his knack for getting into trouble, however, Heiji is rarely down for long, and tends to regard danger as part of the job. He comes back in each story arc cheerful as ever, ready to challenge his rival to a reasoning contest or invite people to go sightseeing with him.
While Heiji has a clever, analytical mind and is easily capable of cracking codes or making excellent split-second decisions, he also has a tendency to be impulsive and emotional. While some detectives might see a slumped body through a window and think of preserving the crime scene, for instance, Heiji's first instinct is to rush over and try to administer medical attention in case they're still alive. He also has a strong competitive streak, which shows up in the way he'll often turn mysteries into a game of who can solve the puzzle first or declare someone a rival (usually Kudou Shinichi, a high school detective acquaintance of his who's about the same age).
Heiji is strongly invested in being the best detective he can be, proud of his background, eager to prove himself, and holds the safety of his friends (particularly his childhood friend, Kazuha) as being of the utmost importance. And though Heiji might seem quick-tempered at times, he's willing to listen to reason and criticism. When called out for compromising a crime scene to rush to a victim's aid or for treating a murder investigation like a game, for instance, he is visibly troubled by the possibility that he isn't up to the task of being a real detective. Of course, whether his reaction is to tone his behavior down or double down on his own recklessness is a bit of a coin toss, though in general Heiji takes his cases a little more seriously as the series proceeds.
Relationships with others:
Heiji is brave and loyal, able to risk his life for a friend's without a second thought -- which is also one of the reasons he keeps getting stabbed, shot, etc. While he may not be as coolheaded a detective as Shinichi is, Heiji is warm, easygoing, and generally able to get along with most people. For instance, though a high school kid butting into crime scenes might easily stoke resentment on a police force, Heiji maintains cordial relations with the officers in his hometown, treating them like personal friends or family. Because of this, his knack for cracking cases, and his family connections in the police force, the police tend to regard him as an honorary detective rather than a civilian nuisance.
Heiji gets along well with both of his parents and respects his father, who he recognizes as a better detective than he is. He also maintains good overall relations with Kazuha, though they are prone to bickering. At the same time, Heiji is often unable to be honest with himself about his feelings toward Kazuha. It's fairly clear throughout the series that he has a crush on her (the bickering is an extension of this), but is only able to talk about how important she is to him when their lives are in danger: as soon as they're safe again, he retreats back into pretending nothing ever happened.
Though Heiji displays interest in most any detective, especially those his own age, he is especially interested in Shinichi, whom he sees as a rival. Much to Shinichi's annoyance, Heiji is constantly showing up to invite him to Osaka, signing up for detective retreats at which he's sure Shinichi will be present, and challenging him to reasoning battles. Nevertheless, the two of them work well together, often complementing each other whenever they're on the same case.
AU DETAILS: Heiji remains a high school student with a keen interest in solving mysteries. His closest relationships -- with his father, mother, Kazuha, and Shinichi -- remain basically the same in tone, though the apocalypse would no doubt have put a damper on the whole being-able-to-tag-along-on-police-cases setup. Though Heiji's father tends to allow Heiji a lot of leeway in poking his nose into murder cases, it would be very unlikely that either of Heiji's parents would support him wandering into situations in which he could get seriously hurt or kidnapped. Still, Heizou's work keeps him extremely busy, and Heiji has a knack for finding trouble. As a result, Heiji has become practiced at thinking on his feet and knowing when to run for it.
Heiji is still an active sportsman. Though real kendo equipment isn't terribly easy to come across, he makes a point of practicing with improvised swords. For Heiji, retaining a sense of normalcy is important: he keeps in touch with friends, pitches in to help neighbors and strangers alike, and hopes for the day when everything can be normal again. Heiji is particularly concerned with Kazuha's wellbeing, though of course he's loath to actually acknowledge his feelings out loud. Though not an anxious person by nature, Heiji worries about his parents' safety -- his father because Heizou works in law enforcement and his mother because like Heiji, Shizuka has a way of poking her nose into trouble.
Though the world may be different, Heiji's strong sense of right and wrong (and inability to keep his mouth shut about it) remain the same. He cannot stand compromising his morals, and believes that all criminals must pay for their crimes as dictated by law, not vigilante justice. At the same time, Heiji is a firm believer in the ability of criminals to rehabilitate and return as productive members of society.
AU/MEMORY LOSS EFFECTS: Heiji already comes from a modern-day setting, and losing his memories would not affect his natural curiosity or keen interest in solving mysteries. However, prior to having his approach to solving mysteries tempered somewhat by meeting Shinichi, Heiji tended to regard murder cases as puzzles to be solved or competitions to be won, sometimes forgetting the human element in the process. Without his memories, Heiji would be more reckless, eager to prove himself, and prone to running off after hunches. However, at his core, he would remain a kindhearted, friendly person who likes to chatter.
