Accent: Due to how Hikaru's birthplace is Neo-Shinjuku, she has a very traditional Japanese accent, otherwise known as Tokyo-ben. Her accent is rather soft with her syllables not as harsh as say, if she was around someone who hails from Osaka. No matter what language she speaks, it's obvious that her Japanese accent always leaks through, however due to how much education she's received, she's able to be understood throughout when she's talking to someone.

Languages Spoken: Japanese, American English, Mandarin & Cantonese Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Arabic, Portuguese and Russian. The reason she knows these languages is because the PIPE agency has established other branches in the world so as to train prospective soldiers and other Protectors, so a part of her job is to go to these different countries to speak and to train the recruits there.

Other Languages Known: Because of how proficient Hikaru is with magic, some of the spells she cast are derived from Latin, Greek (both modern and Ancient), the Bobileth alphabet, Enochian, Etruscan, Futhark, Gothic, Hebrew, Malachim, Runic and Theban.

Style of Speech: The kind of education that Hikaru has received because of the PIPE's program, her style of speech has been ironed out in the beginning, evolving from what a little kid says to an eloquent adult. She rarely uses informal language when talking to others, although if she's known someone for years, her speech relaxes to where she's willing to use cozier language with others (such as using "gonna" in place of "going to" or "yeah" instead of "yes".) She's extremely polite when conversing with others and will, most of the time, use honorifics when addressing or talking about someone. She is rather honest, too, and will speak her mind when there's a difficult situation going on and when this happens, she won't hold back when voicing her own opinions.

Voice Tone: When Hikaru speaks, it's very calm, albeit a little quiet. However, it feels like one can imagine talking to an old friend due to how at ease her voice can make people. Another facet of Hikaru's own voice is that confidence brimming in her tone. She's been so successful thus far with being a Protector that there is always a hint of assurity lacing her voice. And yet, despite this, there's humility in her voice too. She knows that even though her own talents are nothing to discredit, she wouldn't have been able to get where she is today without the support of her family, friends and the PIPE overall. She tends to make people feel comfortable when talking to them because of how sociable she is with others. As Vita, though, her tone is more direct. Words aren't wasted with others as she's more focused on the mission objective. She commands the battlefield and what goes on it as she's focused on saving lives.

MISCELLANEOUS

Species: Human born with a Crux. Cruxes are simply another organ that a human can be born with, although it’s very rare. Newborns are tested and screened at birth, and if they have a Crux, they’re chosen to become a Protector when they’re able to walk, talk, eat and read on their own, which is usually at a very young age (about five or so.) Through rigorous training, the Crux can develop further and further with stronger abilities as time goes on.

As all of their abilities are innate, Protectors don’t necessarily need to transform to access their repertoire of spells. However, it’s still vastly preferred to don their suits as it not only shields their identity, it enhances their magic. The bodysuits Protectors wear have been augmented magically to amplify their spells to where they’re at their strongest and keep them at their peak condition for the battles they face.

If a Crux is removed or torn out, the Protector won’t be able to cast their spells and will be significantly weaker than they normally should be. However, thankfully, with the amount of training a Protector has endured and adequate rest, the Crux will regenerate by itself over time. If it’s directly damaged, such as being majorly wounded in battle, it’ll take longer for the Crux to heal and repair itself. Hikaru's Crux has been developed to where she can withstand casting powerful spells without being exhausted after it. As of right now, she is the only one the PIPE's been successful with this and they've decided to take the research that they gathered on her to see if it can't be replicated with other fledgling Protectors.

Ambience: Hikaru is like an old friend of someone that has been there for years and years. She's extremely caring and considerate of people and their plights. She's sincere, not mincing words when it counts, especially when it comes to trying to save someone else. Hikaru is also rather pleasant to be around, like someone one has known for some time. She's rather assertive too when she needs to be, however it's not overbearing in the slightest. She considers everyone's opinions and weighs them, making it known that she will not silence anyone's voices. She is like the air on a cool Spring day, the sunlight over the horizon -- the hope for a better day.

Body Features: As previously mentioned, Hikaru is very lean and toned. There isn't much fat on her and what's particularly noteworthy about her figure is that she has quite the muscle definition from years of training, all of it focused into her arms, legs and stomach. Her bust is rather modest with her stomach being the most impressive aspect of her training. She rather proudly has a four pack that centers around where her breasts are and the rest of her stomach is rather flat. She has rather long legs that are also defined by her training regimen. To keep up her figure, she continues to lift weights, run laps, etc when there's significant downtime. Her hands are calloused with her nails being cut short. Her feet, however, are somewhat small with her toenails matching her fingernails in length. Her body is something that she's rather proud of due to how Japanese women are usually perceived to be petite.

Facial Features: What the first thing that's noticeable and also a signature on Hikaru's face is her smile. She's almost never seen without wearing her smile and it nearly always hits her eyes. It can be described as the sun's rays are in her smile and its' energy seemingly neverending. The shape of her face is heart-shaped with a wide forehead that's usually covered by her bangs and a strong chin for a woman, Her bone structured can be described as having high, wide cheekbones that give off the impression that she's always smiling. In addition, her chin is rather prominent and strong, indicating her immortal determination. Hikaru's eyes, even though they are a deep red in color, are rather large with her eyelashes being just as wide, giving her the appearance of being trustworthy. Her eyebrows are thin and slightly arched on the end of them. Her nose is rather petite, however it is long from simply aging. Hikaru's lips are plump that accentuate that golden smile of her's with it being somewhat wide in appearance. In conclusion, Hikaru's face is one that welcomes people in, whether they're new or someone she's known for years.

Default Clothing: Hikaru's mainly seen in her PIPE uniform, which members are required to wear. She can normally be seen in a black jacket that has long sleeves and hits to her lower back. The sleeves have a couple of yellow zippers that hit to the bottom of the forearm, which are also black. On the front, the PIPE's logo stands proudly as well as a few awards as well as a fourragere. Underneath her jacket, she has a white blouse along with a black tie. On the bottom, she has a matching black skirt with a couple of belts and zippers, also a golden yellow. Underneath the skirt, Hikaru wears a pair of black shorts. On her hands, she has a pair of black leather gloves and on her feet, she wears a pair of thigh-high white stockings and a pair of combat boots. In her Protector form, this all is switched in for a white bodysuit with red decals on it as well as red gloves with green lenses that are embedded within the fabric itself and they're able to absorb energy and also manipulate said energy. She has a pair of futuristic goggles that act as a digital readout as well as provide protection to the user's eyes from any and all attacks. As Vita, Hikaru's eyes change to an azure blue and her hair transforms into a deep crimson red with orange highlights to it. This is all to protect the true identity of the Protector so that they family isn't targeted by the Gnocem themselves or people who oppose the PIPE and what they stand for. The bodysuit itself is both magically and technologically reinforced to take a beating, even if it looks primarily like spandex.

PERSONALITY

Quick Summary: Energetic, idealistic, optimistic, enthusiastic, stubborn, easygoing, sociable, determined, loyal, humble, self-sacrificing, confident, assertive, charismatic, easygoing, protective, caring, adaptive, humble, honest, kind, leaderly, self-reliant, warm, wise, mellow, formal.

Hikaru can be summarized as a very social kind of woman. She's never afraid to talk to someone that she hasn't met before and is willing to get to know them due to the fact that she's not shy at all. She's usually a very calm and bubbly person with pep in her voice and a skip in her step. As she's normally found in a good mood, she's easygoing and can shoot the breeze with someone she's talking to. She's someone who definitely wears her heart on her sleeve, even though through time, she's learned how to harden her heart so that her kindness isn't taken advantage of.

Speaking of her heart, it is so big that it literally swells with her emotions. She cares so deeply for others that she focuses more on them instead of herself. She's extremely selfless and generous, even willing to place herself in dangerous situations so that someone else doesn't have to. People mean so much to her, good and bad, and she truly believes in the inherent goodness of humanity itself. It paints her as incredibly idealistic, which she doesn't mind being called that. She believes that there's too much cynicism in the word and she doesn't like it when people just focus on the negatives. It's not healthy for the mind, for one, and the second thing is that she wants to believe that there's hope out there. Even though she's been called a beacon of hope, she, too, believes that with the PIPE's and the Pacaem's help that they will contain the threat to improve interspecies relations among the universes.

As she's honest with her emotions and her personality, she also likes to hide what's really on her mind from others. Why this is is because when she was undergoing training as a Protector, she was told that the Gnocem threat was something that she had to deal with and dragging others into it just wouldn't do because the PIPE wanted to protect the general public so as to prevent casualities. So, while she does have a very healthy social side, she also has a more serious side that crops up if she's given information that's classified. To expand on her serious side, when it crops up, it's... frightening, to say the least. She doesn't smile, she's quiet, and more or less, she just is completely and utterly focused on what the mission objective or situation is. This facet of her's doesn't crop up all too often, but when it does, one knows quite well that it's time to work and play can come later.

In addition to this, her public personality when she talks with the press, superiors, and other branches of the PIPE doesn't really deviate from the one she has around her coworkers and friends. She's still incredibly friendly and sociable, encouraging others that are training to keep up at it, and is willing to give an ear to those who want someone to listen to them. This kind of behavior has earned her respect from those she's talked to because they legitimately feel like their concerns are being taken seriously and that they don't feel so alone. Of course, there are those that don't like the fact that she's so cheerful and peppy, however those people are ones that Hikaru continues to try to understand. Different kinds of people and their personalities intrigue her so much and she wants to learn more about them.

To go on with this, she's usually on the front lines and will take the brunt of the damage if it means someone else can escape scot-free. This paints her as sacrificial and she will do what it takes to finish a job, regardless of what happens to her. If it means that she has to bleed, then so be it. Additionally, Hikaru does not give up. People depend on her. People count on her to vanquish the Gnocem and protect them and like HELL will she let that hope go. Even if it's a lot of responsibility weighing on her shoulders, she likes the challenge and will make sure ends meet no matter what it takes. There's a few ways that Hikaru deals with the stress of all of this responsibility -- she either trains the stress out, and therefore, expelling it out of her body through sweating it or takes time to meditate, take a soaking bath, or spends time with her family. This not only keeps her healthy, but ensures that she's dealing with her stress in healthy ways outside of drinking, smoking, etc.

Her stubbornness is what's shaped her into a Protector. Even though she was awful with her training at first, she just wouldn't give up no matter what. Others thought that she wouldn't last, but she proved them wrong with just how dedicated she was. She envisioned herself as a Protector and followed through with her dreams. She didn't give up then and she doesn't give up now. She also doesn't give up on others, either. If she sees someone needs help, then by all means she'll offer to pitch in and help them out with anything they need. She'll provide an ear for people to listen to as well as be a shoulder to cry on. If she can help someone out, it ultimately makes her feel so much better for knowing that she changed someone's day. However, her stubbornness also ended up with her getting her ass kicked quite a lot. She'd charge blindly into battle without thinking of the consequences, only to end up becoming hospitalized and earning an earful from her superiors. These kind of tendencies do crop up time to time, especially when she's overworked and stressed, although they've been ironed out due to the fact that Hikaru knows she's someone of great importance to the PIPE and humanity itself.

What's considered important to her is building up healthy relationships with others. Even though her powers are innate due to her Crux, building friendships with others is beneficial in the long run so as to have her powers work to their fullest potential. It may seem like a superficial reason for some people, but for Hikaru, she knows quite well that there's strength in numbers. She may be able to take on the Gnocem threat by herself, but ultimately, it's better to have someone back one up. This is why the fear of being abandoned is strong in Hikaru. She's always kept her friends and coworkers close to her, but if they just up and leave her, she won't know what to do other than think of what she could have done differently. Did she do something to make them leave? Did she not smile when she wanted to frown? Was she not honest with her emotions and instead, pretended everything was okay? She ultimately fears the day she pisses someone off badly and will make sure to try to prevent that scenario from ever happening to the best of her ability, even if her efforts are deemed unnecessary or futile. Another way that Hikaru deals with the fear of abandonment is that she will retreat inside of herself, say that everything's okay and will even fake her smiles. Her superiors and coworkers know well enough by now that this isn't healthy and will assure her that she did nothing wrong.

When Hikaru becomes Vita, she's all business and seems to be a stark constrast from what she normally is to the general public. She doesn't let much faze her, and if and when it does, she tends to rebound from what's been thrown at her rather quick. She doesn't mind taking orders, however when she sees an alternative out there, she'll make her own plans and solutions due to how much she's grown into her role as a Protector. Ultimately, in order to be efficient in her job as a superhero, she knows she has to be capable enough to think on her feet at a moment's notice as well as be self-sufficient so as to ensure victories for the PIPE and to save the Pacaem.

However, there is something that she always doesn't like about her job and what that is is that she has to hurt them in order to revert the changes that befell the Pacaem. She's resigned herself to the fact that she has to do this, but even though she's been at this for two decades, she doesn't do it easily. As Vita, she wears a strong mask in combat, it always pains her to fight against someone who was once peaceful and pacifistic. She knows that they're in there somewhere, screaming for help as they hurt her in fights, so she tries her best to not beat them up too badly. It's a masochistic way of going about her duty, but she prefers just allowing the enemy to wail on her for a bit before assaulting them with her terrific power. This method surprisingly works in the end, much to the ire of her superiors who want to prevent her from getting hurt as much as possible.

One thing that comforts Vita is she's never alone when it comes to fighting, which she's extremely thankful for. Scala, an A.I. designed to interpret, monitor and give suggestions based on her performance and internals, is her ally and someone that she can rely on when the going gets tough. In a way, Scala is the one who informs Hikaru about her status so that she doesn't injure herself to the point where she can't fight the next day. In the past, Scala did get annoyed at Hikaru's inherent stubbornness and persisted in urging her to make the right decision about fighting: it's not all about beating the other guy so that you can save the day, it's making sure you live to fight another day. After suffering a few upsets where she did get extremely injured, she fully accepted this ideology into her tactics to where she is efficient. It's because of this that Scala and Vita are a formidable team, and one that shouldn't be messed with.
