Amatsukaze

Amatsukaze was the name Nanao Hibiya gave to her first broomstick.

Background
The broomstick eventually known as Amatsukaze was once the steed of Chloe Halford, and considered a superior example of its species. After Halford's death in 1525, it returned to the broomhouse at Kimberly Magic Academy, and gained a reputation as a "bucking broom": Professor Dustin Hedges attempted to tame it multiple times with no success.

In 1532, the Sword Roses were brought to their first broom-riding class. Nanao Hibiya spotted the broom resting alone in its rack, and immediately intuited that it would allow none but its true master to ride it, comparing it to Akikaze, her warhorse back in Yamatsu. She told it that she liked it the best of all and asked it to partner with her, and to the astonishment of Hedges, it immediately leapt into her hand.

Nanao joined a junior league broomsports team with Amatsukaze as her steed. After she advanced to the senior leagues in 1533, she came into conflict with Diana Ashbury, who disliked Nanao's notion of being Amatsukaze's "partner".
