Kabura Honda

Kabura Honda (カブラ) is a side character in Call of the Night.

Appearance
Kabura is noticeably tall, being the second tallest vampire in the manga, second only to Nico Hirata.

She has frizzy black hair that reaches her shoulders.

Typical for vampires, Kabura is exceptionally attractive.

Her outfit usually consists of a black dress with a turtleneck, with a part of her chest and her arms being covered by see-through fabric. When she is at work, she wears a classic nurse outfit. When she was still a human, her outfit consisted of a white shirt and a long black skirt. Though, she only wore that when she was out of the hospital. While being in the hospital, she wore a standard patient gown.

Personality
In general, Kabura gives off a gloomy aura and is scarred on the inside.

When around her fellow vampires, Kabura usually has a playful attitude and sense of humor. She enjoys to tease others and has a reputation of wanting to take away things that belong to others.

When she is at work, she has a no-nonsense attitude and is very blunt, pulling no punches. Although she likes to play around with her patients.

What should be noted is that she can be surprisingly kind. When Kou and Nazuna tried to pull off a badass line each when investigating her past and both were wrong in their conclusions, Kabura told them that their lines actually sounded pretty cool, despite them getting embarrassed.

When she was a human, Kabura had a much more friendly personality. Because she got hospitalized often, she felt like a burden and didn't make promises to avoid disappointing others. She also avoided calling for help when her nose bled. She genuinely wanted to experience everything a normal girl would experience but couldn't because of her illness.

Whenever the people around her, like her mother or her friends, neglected her, she would ignore it and suppress her negative thoughts. But when she realized that her friends never bothered to understand her and didn't truly care about her, she stopped caring and confessed that she hated everything. She hated her parents and her friends. She wanted to have a lover but she actually hated men.

She was in love with Haru Nanakusa, preferring to call her by her first name. When she revealed her feelings, she expected Haru to see her as disgusting, although that wasn't the case. After she got turned into a vampire, she was much happier for a moment, even starting to enjoy things she previously hated, like alcohol and spending time with guys. However, that soon found its end. Haru didn't seem to reciprocate her feelings and ultimately ended up with a human man, getting impregnated by him.

She has a complicated relationship with Nazuna. When Haru asked Kabura to take care of her child, Kabura wanted to kill Nazuna out of resentment but stopped when she saw that Nazuna looked exactly like her mother. When looking at Nazuna's face, Kabura broke down in tears, asking Haru why she left her alone. She claimed that Nazuna was a constant source of pain for her, but later admitted to Kou that that was a lie. She is very affectionate towards Nazuna, having raised her, talking to her like a mother would, wanting to bind her hair and caring about her well-being. When meeting Kou for the first time, she wondered if he was a bad influence for Nazuna and wanted to know how she was doing later on. She also cares about how Nazuna thinks of her, feeling sad when Nazuna says that she perceives her as arrogant.
