Character

Hijiri Kasuga

春日聖

Hijiri is a childhood best friend and cousin of Arata Kasuga who disappeared due to a Breakdown Phenomenon after giving the Astil Manuscript to him. She is later on revealed to be a Magus sent by the Royal Liber Academy to observe and eliminate him if necessary and eventually returns as a member of Iscariot. Hijiri is a cheerful and poised young lady, as well as a strong devotion to those close to her, especially towards Arata. Despite having been assigned as his observer, she cares deeply for his well-being, becoming more concerned of his protection than her own, and even willing to entrust Sora to him before she disappeared due to a Breakdown Phenomenon. As suggested by the opposite of her Thema Ruina, Hijiri is concerned more of others and passionately determined to protect her loved ones. After witnessing Arata's future, she became willing to fight the entire world for him, angry and unforgiving of the world using him as a means to its revival. Often saddened by her current situation, she sometimes will have small periods of extreme vulnerability, such as nearly collapsing in tears after Arata promises to bring her back. Nevertheless, she remains incredibly resolute in achieving her goals. Hijiri is a young slender young woman with short blue hair and a single ahoge on top of her head. She bares a striking resemblance to Arin Kannazuki, but is far more expressive of her emotions. After disappearing due to a Breakdown Phenomenon, her hair grew noticeably longer but has since returned to her original shortness. Additionally, she also has a small hair clip on the left side of her bangs, but sometimes wears another one on the right side as well. Despite being born into a family of Magus, and possessing both the Astil Manuscript and Ilias Fragment, Hijiri initially did not realize her lineage. She lived a normal life until she enrolled at her parent's affiliated school, the Royal Liber Academy.
