Walking Heart

“

No matter what sort of Stand user she is... strength is based on character.

Walking Heart (ウォーキング・ハート, Wōkingu Hāto) is the Stand of Hato Higashikata, featured in the eighth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, JoJolion. This humanoid Stand elongates Hato's heels, turning them into deadly weapons.

Appearance

Walking Heart is an Artificial Humanoid Stand resembling its user, Hato. Its body is composed almost entirely of long, thin, rigid strands surrounding seemingly mechanical joints. Its face lacks a nose and mouth, having only emotionless lens-like eyes and long, rigid hair. Where its ears would be, there are peg-like potrusions ending in ticket-shaped polygons with a heart on the surface of each.

Much like its user, Walking Heart's feet take the appearance of stilletto-like heels. On its chest is a large heart, surrounded by a smaller heart on each side and a heart-shaped collar around its neck. Around its waist is a belt with several ridges and another heart in the middle. In certain scenes, the belt is depicted as a patterned skirt.

Abilities

Not much is shown of Walking Heart. Although it possesses a form, its power has only manifested as an ability that Hato uses for direct combat. Although straightforward, Walking Heart's speed and power makes Hato a surprisingly deadly fighter.

Heel Spikes

Hato kicks while stretching her heels to attack from a distance

Walking Heart allows Hato to turn her heels or the heels of her shoes into hardened spikes, allowing them to extend as far as 4 meters.^[1] The extension and subsequent retraction are fast enough to outspeed human reaction time. These spikes can penetrate any surface, including glass and stone, as well as other human's (or Rock Humans') bodies.^[2] This allows Hato to walk up walls with her heels digging directly into the brick or other materials, as well as attack with her extended high heels with kicking motions.^[2] It is unknown if Walking Heart can extend other objects or parts of her body in this fashion.
