Hijiri Kasuga

Hijiri Kasuga 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 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. Prior to vanishing, Hijiri wore a sailor fuku which consisted of a white long sleeved blouse with a sailor collar, a red ribbon tie, a dark pleated skirt, dress socks and penny loafers. After returning as a member of Iscariot, she adorned a short dress under a long sleeve hooded robe, and a hair clip. Satan: Upon entering this form, Hijiri's hair grows even longer, a crack-like mark appears on her right cheek similar to that of Astral Trinity's, and her hands transform into a large monster like claws. Furthermore, the pupils of her eyes become long and vertical, resembling the pupils of a cat. She also wears a headband, a long dark off-the-shoulder dress worn under a shoulder-less cape held together by a brooch attached to a metallic choker, and a pair of dark slipper shoes. Hijiri is a cheerful and poised young lady, as well as a strong devotion to those close to her, especially towards Arata Kasuga. 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. However, Hijiri also has a very cold and ruthless side, willing to go to extremes to accomplish her objectives such as murder or even destroying the world. Surprisingly, she would even attempt to kill Arata and the Trinity Seven, intending to resurrect him after her plans were accomplished. Additionally, she can be quite forceful and intimidating, once almost causing Lieselotte Sherlock to hesitate in her decision to support Arata. In her initial confrontation against Anastasia-L, their tense interactions would greatly frighten Lugh and Anna's companion. During battles, Hijiri displays a calm and calculative attitude, able to confidently attack and defend against enemies. Although, she can be surprised by any unexpected developments. While sometimes overly serious, Hijiri is usually quite calm and light-hearted, once awkwardly commenting on Arata's perverted antics. Among trusted friends and allies, she is more friendly and approachable.
