♥︎—Hunter Exam⁰¹

Gon Freecss – 154 cm (5'0.7"), 14 years

Gon is a young boy with long spiky black green tipped hair and large, hazel brown eyes. His usual outfit is composed of a green jacket with reddish edges covering a black or white tank top underneath, green pants, and green laced boots. Gon Freecss from Hunter x Hunter is characterized by his cheerful, friendly, and rambunctious nature, combined with a strong sense of determination and a somewhat naive, yet twisted, sense of morality. He is often described as an athletic, rustic, and kind-hearted boy with a thirst for adventure. While initially appearing simple-minded, Gon's personality reveals complexities, particularly during the Chimera Ant Arc, where his flaws and capacity for darkness are exposed.

Leorio Paradinight – 19 years old, 193 cm (6'4")

Leorio Paradinight is a young man with a mature, manly appearance, despite being a teenager at the start of the Hunter x Hunter series. He is tall and fairly muscular, with small brown eyes, thick eyebrows, and spiky black hair. He is often seen wearing a dark blue business suit with a yellow tie, black shoes, and teashade sunglasses. Leorio Paradinight from Hunter x Hunter is characterized by his passionate, impulsive, and often comedic personality. He's fiercely loyal, valuing his friendships and acting as the "big brother" of the group. While initially appearing self-centered due to his desire for wealth, Leorio's true motivation is to become a doctor and help those in need. He's not afraid to speak his mind, even to powerful figures, and can be quite blunt.

Kurapika Kurta – 17 years old, 5'7" (171 cm) tall

Hair: Medium blond hair. Eyes: Usually depicted as brown (or blue in the 1999 anime and grey/dark grey in the 2011 anime adaptation). Scarlet Eyes: When under intense emotional stress, particularly when angered, his eyes turn a coveted scarlet color. Initial Outfit: His first appearance shows him in a blue tabard with an orange (red in the 2011 anime) hem over a white full-body training suit, along with Chinese-style winkle-picker flats. Yorknew City Outfit: He changes his tabard and training suit for a different style during the Yorknew City arc. Later Outfits: In later appearances, particularly during the Election arc and Succession Contest arc, he transitions to wearing suits, initially a blue or black suit with dress shoes and a tie, and then a uniform with a gold "H" on the breast as a royal bodyguard. Earring: He wears a single drop earring with a ruby in his left ear. Contact Lenses: After learning Nen, Kurapika uses black contact lenses to disguise his Scarlet Eyes. It's also worth noting that Kurapika's design has been described as having somewhat androgynous or "bishōnen" (pretty boy) features, with a slender build and delicate facial features. This design choice is often discussed in the context of Japanese aesthetics and the character's nuanced portrayal of masculinity. Kurapika from Hunter x Hunter is a complex character with a personality primarily defined by his determination, intelligence, and a deep-seated desire for revenge. He is disciplined, focused on his goals, and initially appears cold and distant, struggling to open up to others. His past trauma, the massacre of his Kurta clan, fuels his vengeful nature and makes him ruthless in his pursuit of justice. However, he also deeply values his friends and is fiercely protective of them, even if it means sacrificing his own happiness.

Killua Zoldyck – 12 years old, 5'2" (158 cm) tall

Killua Zoldyck has distinct physical characteristics: spiky white hair, pale skin, and blue eyes that change shape depending on his mood. He is often seen wearing baggy clothing, typically a dark turtleneck, long baggy shorts, and purple boots. His eyes narrow and sharpen when he's in assassination mode. Killua Zoldyck is a complex character with a multifaceted personality. Initially, he is introduced as a mischievous and cheerful boy, similar to Gon, but he also displays rudeness and a lack of social graces towards strangers and elders. He is a skilled assassin, trained from birth by the Zoldyck family, and possesses a natural aptitude for killing, along with high tolerance for pain and electricity. However, his loyalty to his friends, particularly Gon, is unwavering, and he often puts their needs before his own.

Tonpa

Appearance: Tonpa is depicted as a short, stout man with light brown, tan skin. He has dark brown hair, a prominent nose, and thick, bushy eyebrows. In the 1999 anime, he wears a large blue v-neck shirt with a white symbol resembling a lowercase "i" on its right side, over light blue-grey sweatpants. Age and Height: While his exact age isn't explicitly stated, his numerous attempts at the Hunter Exam suggest he is older than the main protagonists, Gon, Killua, and Kurapika. His height is not specified, but he is described as short and stout. Personality: Tonpa's defining trait is his sadistic pleasure in seeing other applicants fail the Hunter Exam. He actively tries to sabotage their efforts, even though he has never passed the exam himself. He is a coward when faced with genuine danger, readily abandoning others to save himself. Despite this, he possesses extensive knowledge of the exam and its challenges.
