Character Information
Character Name: Killua Zoldyck
Canon: Hunter x Hunter
Canon Point: end of Greed Island
History: wiki link
Personality:
Killua Zoldyck is like any other normal teenage boy – except for his family’s literal killer expectations. The Zoldycks are the HunterxHunter world’s premier elite assassins and Killua is expected not only to follow in his family’s footsteps but eventually to inherit the family business of killing people for massive sums of money. This particular family background is in many ways at the core of the person he is. Killua’s grown up in the lap of luxury as the spoiled, much-beloved young master of a household with its own butler academy (where else do you find two hundred combat-trained butlers to keep those pesky kids off the front lawn of your gigantic mountain compound?) and hasn’t lived a day in his life without the burden of his family’s expectations and the knowledge that his purpose in life is to be the best little killer he can be.
Thanks to his family’s unique profession, Killua has a singular attitude towards murder: namely, that murder is a thing that happens to other people when they get in his way. He’s cavalier about both casual murder and personal injury; having undergone extreme torture during his childhood to prepare him for his life as an assassin, excruciating pain is a thing to walk off. Due to the environment he grew up in, Killua recognizes that his childhood was abnormal, but he doesn’t consider it bad or dwell on it; he doesn’t want pity and treats his circumstances very matter of factly. At the same time, Killua’s family adores him to the point of smothering, and all of this torture is done just to make him a better assassin. By all rights, Killua should be snotty, selfish, self-absorbed, and completely unconcerned with anyone else’s life unless he’s about to end it – and in many ways, he initially is. His training as an assassin has made him ruthless, emotionally detached, and calculating, especially when it comes to fighting and killing.
But Killua Zoldyck doesn’t want to be an assassin.
Despite his family, despite how he’s grown up, Killua is ultimately kind at heart. He doesn’t want to follow the life laid out for him. He doesn’t want to kill anyone. He wants to live life as a normal boy. He wants to have friends – and his first appearance in the series is at the exam to become one of the titular Hunters after having run away from home to obtain these wants.
(Of course, Killua really isn’t a normal boy, so when he runs away from home to be able to live his own life at the tender age of almost twelve, he doesn’t think twice about stabbing his mom and brother when they try to stop him. That’s just how the Zoldycks do familial relations; his mom cried – tears of happiness, that is.)
Generally, Killua is cheerful, laidback, and a typical cocky brat. He’s been trained to be a lethal killer, is more skilled than most people, and he knows it – and while he doesn’t advertise the fact, he has no compunctions about using his skills when it’s convenient or about bluntly telling other people that they’re markedly less capable than he is if the subject naturally arises. As a result of being the apple of his very dangerous family’s eye, Killua doesn’t see a need to be polite or respectful to anyone unless they’ve earned his respect. He addresses his elders rudely and sees nothing wrong with doing so, irreverently calling even the chairman of one of the most prestigious organizations in the world “old man” and one of his mentor figures an “old hag.” Killua is very much the mischievous trickster, remarking that his charm point is that people never know if he’s being serious when he talks about alarming things like his family background. While most of the time Killua doesn’t go out of his way to humiliate anyone with his greater level of skill unless he’s directly provoked, he still has a certain level of pride that causes him to act out when he feels he’s being underestimated or when he’s feeling particularly frustrated.
As a rich young master, Killua has grown up with a self-centered mindset. He wasn’t pampered – fine young assassins get routinely tortured and dropped off at battle arenas to fend for themselves – but he receives preferential treatment from his family and very much knows it. However, Killua’s selfishness is not one of greed, but rather a selfishness of mentality. Rather than follow the path his parents laid out for him, Killua chooses to run away regardless of how it affects his family. He takes his family’s love for granted, viewing his mother’s overbearing fussing as annoying, and is callous in how he regards his family – understandably, since his upbringing has been geared toward creating the perfect killer. Nevertheless, Killua’s family loves him in their own messed up way, yet he wants only to get away from them, even abandoning his younger sister to forced isolation and imprisonment in favor of making his escape. Killua’s mindset is quite childish in this respect; though he is skilled in planning when it comes to specific goals, he is shortsighted when it comes to his own future, indulging in his immediate wants more than thinking about long term consequences. At one point, he spends 200 million on candy in two years without any thought to saving his money, and he runs away from his family without planning for what will happen when his family catches up to him.
At the same time, Killua is also loyal and selfless to the extreme when it comes to his friends, so much that he can veer toward unhealthily self-sacrificing. To most people, Killua is stand-offish and maintains a distance, albeit a cheerful one, but when it comes to those he’s close to, Killua is willing to risk his life without a second thought. With his friends, Killua is light-hearted and playful, happy to tease and show his affection. His upbringing has made Killua starved for friendship (an assassin has no need for friends, as his brother is happy to inform him), and so Killua is terrible at receiving affection, easily getting embarrassed by frank declarations of friendship. At the same time, his lack of friends growing up makes him willing to do almost anything for the friends he now has.
Of particular note is Killua’s devotion to Gon Freecss, the first real friend he makes. Because Gon accepts Killua and his background without hesitation, they immediately become best friends, and Killua practically devotes himself to Gon. For most of the series, Killua has no goals of his own beyond not being an assassin, and so he dedicates himself to making sure that Gon is able to achieve his goals no matter how dangerous they may be to either him or Killua. Killua has no concept of how friendship is supposed to work and this is quite detrimental to him because he doesn’t understand that there are limits to what should be asked of him; he willingly and eagerly allows himself to be seriously injured, lets Gon demand unreasonable and emotionally damaging things from him, and is willing to offer his own life as a sacrifice for Gon’s safety. Killua does all of this without any complaint or resentment – he is happy to let Gon use him, however inadvertently, because the thing he fears most is losing Gon’s friendship or being unworthy to stay by Gon’s side.
Part of Killua’s loyalty to his friends comes from his natural kindness, but the extremes to which he’s willing to go, like many other parts of his personality, stem from his family background. Killua’s father eventually grants him the freedom to live his own life, but only on the condition that he makes one promise: that he will never betray his friends. Killua takes this promise to the extreme, even viewing being unable to overcome his own weaknesses as a betrayal of his friends because it endangers them, and his relationships all center about this one ideal. Killua would literally rather die than betray his friends in any way. Despite trying to leave behind the assassin way of life, he will unhesitatingly resort to it in defense of his friends, holding their safety as more important than his own desire to stop killing. In general, Killua places a high priority on keeping promises – one of the few times in the series he’s seen getting genuinely furious is when someone doesn’t hold up a deal Killua made with him to ensure a friend’s safety – but the promise Killua made with his father, one of the few people Killua actually genuinely respects and fears, is one of the driving guidelines in his life.
Ultimately, Killua is very much shaped by his upbringing even while he attempts to escape it. As a character in a shonen fighting series, Killua is notable from the other main characters in that his fighting style is geared not for bombastic level up explosions but rather to win – an assassin’s goal is to kill his target without being killed himself, and the way Killua approaches combat exemplifies this mindset. Killua is cautious and canny, observant and assessing of his opponent, and opts to use strategy to win rather than sheer, mindless strength by relying on tricks and traps to make up for differences in power levels without any compunctions about using a dishonest fighting style. Killua is almost always calm, cool, and collected, to the point that one of the few times he acts impulsively in a fight, Gon tells Killua that it’s Killua’s job to stay cool and hold Gon back from doing anything too stupid– and Killua very much takes this to heart to the extreme, even to his own detriment.
Part of Killua’s approach to strategy is based on conditioning he received from his family to ensure that he’d remain safe rather than recklessly challenge stronger opponents. His brother Illumi has even gone so far as to influence Killua with a special ability that makes Killua cautious to the point of cowardice when he’s in a fight he doesn’t think he can win. This conditioning is so strong that Killua genuinely fears Illumi; when they faced off at the Hunter exam early in the series, Killua chose to forfeit to Illumi even though doing so would endanger Gon’s life because he knew he wasn’t able to defeat Illumi.
As time passes in the series, Killua struggles against his conditioning. One of the turning points in his character arc is having to come to terms with what it means that he would rather run from a losing fight than stay and try to eke out an uncertain victory. Killua views his cautiousness as a betrayal of his friends – not being able to fight means that he puts Gon in danger, and he would rather leave Gon entirely than continue to be someone Gon counts on who is unreliable in a life or death situation. Eventually, Killua is able to overcome the conditioning and tears out a needle Illumi had planted in his head to ensure that Killua didn’t endanger himself, choosing his friends over his own safety; from that point on, Killua throws himself into fights with overwhelming odds without hesitation. (Though this happens after the canon point Killua is being taken from, it’s worth mentioning since it has significant impact on his character development.)
Once he overcomes the conditioning, Killua also tends to make more emotional decisions rather than relying on the detachment his family had instilled in him. Where before he would have killed enemies without a second thought, Killua starts to empathize, and even saves Ikalgo, an enemy whose loyalty and integrity he admires. Killua becomes someone who makes his own friends with his compassion rather than relying on Gon’s to smooth things over for them both. At one point, he remarks that it’s actually easier for him to kill scumbags, a marked difference from his attitude at the beginning of the series. Killua never entirely abandons his ruthless nature; as he remarks himself, he is his father’s son, and when it comes to doing what’s necessary, he doesn’t hesitate. For the sake of saving Gon and rescuing his beloved sister Alluka, imprisoned because of her horrifying powers, Killua is eventually willing to go head to head against every member of his family, even Illumi who he’d previously been unable to face. Killua becomes someone who, rather than using his ruthlessness for his own ends as his family does, uses it for the sake of others, doing what he feels is necessary to protect the people he cares for.

Prose Log Sample:
Family reunions weren’t Killua’s first choice of activity. Or anywhere near the top of his list, what with that whole running away and never wanting to speak to let alone spend any significant length of time with family members ever again thing. Going home meant enduring his mom crying about how he was going to leave again, and worse, being in Illumi’s presence. If he could get out of it, he would; unfortunately, the whole at least come for the family photo or we’ll gut all your friends email he’d received was a convincing argument to at least making an appearance.
Twenty minutes in, and Killua had already endured more than he could really take of incredibly blatant hints about changing his mind, killing his friends, coming back to the family fold, and never leaving again. Pretty soon, he was sure, he was going to actually have to stab his mom in the face again if he wanted to leave the room just to use the bathroom, let alone leaving the family compound. It was so annoying! Why couldn’t she go hang all over Kalluto for once instead?
And Gon. Stupid, idiot Gon, who’d decided that he couldn’t possibly let Killua go to visit his family alone. Normally, Killua would have appreciated the unspoken show of support. Normally.
Not so much when dinner was about to be served. Delicious, poison-laced dinner, his mom’s special welcome back attempt at bribery of all his favorites dosed with the usual healthy serving of enough toxins to kill an elephant ten times over, let alone one Gon. Delicious dinner that Gon was absolutely not allowed to eat, even if Killua had to set the house on fire to get him out of it.
He’d really prefer not to set the house on fire, though. His dad would get mad about that. Think, he needed to think, there had to be a better way.
Killua leaned over and tugged urgently on Gon’s sleeve.
“Quick, pretend you’re sick,” he hissed. Who cared if it was a totally obvious ploy; the most important thing was getting Gon away from the poisoned food, and his family was at least trying to make a good impression. They wouldn’t call a guest on it, even if Gon was the worst actor in the world. Too bad Gon couldn’t get sick on cue, but Killua would work with what he had.
Gon would have to forgive him for the quick jab to the pressure point to make him throw up later.
