Ruko Kominato

Rūko is a naturally kind girl, but is initially a loner, neither making friends nor feeling the need to. Though she doesn't look like it, she was traumatized by her parents' divorce. This was due to the way her father and mother were always fighting, despite supposedly being close, as it made Rūko not want to connect with anybody out of fear that she would end up getting hurt like her mother. Unlike other people, especially other Selectors who have wishes of their own, Rūko has no desires. Her lack of wants is seen as odd at best and scary at worst, with Akira lashing out at her for it and her mother claiming to Hatsu Kominato that she doesn't understand her. Rūko eventually discovers that she has a thirst for Selector battles, something which she finds scary and selfish of herself. However, Rūko has one desire above this: the desire to protect her friends, which motivates her far more than her love of battle. Iona misunderstands Rūko at first, believing that battle is Rūko's biggest desire, but eventually comes to see that friendship drives her more. In Lostorage conflated WIXOSS, Rūko has grown more mature. She has become more closer with all of her friends and has formed a sisterly relationship with Tama, since she has come to live in her home. However, she has also become fearful of playing WIXOSS because she doesn't want to involve her friends in anymore dangerous situations, especially Tama.
