(Avoiding Spoilers)
Grew Up… in a family of killers. The Zoldyck family taught Killua everything he knows, from keen observation skills to heart-stopping battle techniques. Assassins by profession, they raised Killua to be cold-blooded and ruthless, showing no mercy to his victims. But Killua’s unsure if he wants to follow the ever so carefully planned path that they have laid out for him.
Profession… Rookie Hunter. After running away from home, he decides to go through the extensive process of the Hunter Exam, where he befriends Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio. Why he’s taking the exam? His friends aren’t sure, and honestly, Killua isn’t either.
Interests… skateboarding, sweets, and his best friend Gon. Killua can always be seen toting around his iconic yellow and red skateboard, zipping down streets, with Gon never far behind.
Challenge… creating a life of his own. Killua’s driving force is the desire to break away from tradition. As a part of the Zoldyck family, his parents have already planned out his entire life for him, full of brutal assassinations and exuberant wealth. He’s been shown no kindness by his family and is expected to do the same to others. However, Killua longs for a life of normalcy. He wants to leave his bloodline behind for peace and friendship. In his words, “I’m so tired of killing. I just want to be a kid. Hanging out, doing stuff with Gon. That’s it.”
Personality… cooler than you. He’s quick witted and mischievous but stays unflinching in the face of danger. Killua always keeps a nonchalant air about him, as he has trouble showing any sort of emotions. Despite his calm demeanor, Killua is incredibly loyal to his friends, and willing to put everything at risk to make sure they stay safe, even if it costs him his life. However, every person has their dark side. Killua often has trouble leaving the past version of himself and his killer insticts behind.
