 In a previous ask, an anon asked for several DC characters, including Hondou Hidemi/Kir.

Headcanon A:  realistic
 
While Hidemi never became a nurse, she did get first aid and CPR certifications while training with the CIA. It’s a way of holding on to the dream she gave up in order to follow her father’s path. She is not, on the other hand, a fully trained meteorologist, but she was rushed through a few community college courses and she filled the rest in with independent research during the first few months of her assignment.

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious
 
Hidemi’s method of checking whether people are lying–cupping their cheek to feel their pulse via their carotid artery–is fine for small children, but it sends some mixed messages with people her own age.  Especially since she’s a nice-looking single woman whose job involves looking photogenic. She’s accidentally led on two different men while trying to conduct investigations for the Black Org. She caught on to what was happening around the third.

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends
 
Related to the first item, Hidemi knew enough about medicine and emergency response in particular to analyze the wound that killed Hondou Ethan. Somehow, she managed to bring the part of her mind that was performing triage and determining if the patient was still showing signs of life forward, and to push the part that was screaming about her father’s death in order to protect her to the back.  That was the only reason she stayed calm long enough for her actual CIA training to kick in and keep her from breaking down and making her father’s sacrifice pointless.

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.
 
More exaggerated than unrealistic, but: the only reason she hasn’t absolutely bitten Akai Shuichi’s head off for not forcing her brother into witness protection is the fact that it’s still risky for her to get into contact with him. Otherwise, it would be 5 pages of pure angry venom.

Favorite Female Character: Kir
 
(Vague Clash of Red and Black arc spoilers follow)
 
So, have I mentioned my unholy love of spies? Because that is a thing, it’s part of why I’m in this fandom in the first place, and it’s part of why I love this lady best.  Another big part is that she is one of the few female characters I can think of who Gosho doesn’t manage to throw under the bus characterization-wise for the sake of comedy/proving a male colleague’s competence. She’s incredibly good at what she does, she has a heck of a backstory and yet has remained completely effective despite all of that trauma, and when it comes down to it, she has her priorities in order.  I’ll admit I didn’t get to properly watch her arc until recently but I actually kinda adore her and I realized that when I had to pick a favorite it was between her and Vermouth.
