BlazBlue: Bloodedge Experience - Part 1 |
Kiiro Hikagami (緋鏡キイロ) is a high-ranking member of the Mitsurugi Agency and the last Dimensional Boundary Contact Prime Field Es, being the the 7th model. She is a young woman who obsesses over Naoto Kurogane, and will do anything for his affection and desire. She wields the Murakumo Unit.
Kiiro first appeared in BlazBlue: Bloodedge Experience - Part 1 and then again in its sequel, BlazBlue: Bloodedge Experience - Part 2.
Appearance
Kiiro is a pale young woman with amber eyes and blonde hair that is usually tied up in a messy ponytail. She is usually seen wearing thin-rimmed glasses and a black, tight-fitting turtleneck vest. Over the vest she wears a white coat with lavender trimming, golden buttons, and a lavender interior. She wears a lavender slit skirt that reaches high up her thigh and has three small black belts covering the highest part of the slit; she also wears simple gray shoes and lavender nail polish. When Kiiro lets her hair down, it reaches to her back and she has a singular ahoge that sticks out. Underneath her clothing are numerous scars and sutures.
When wielding Murakumo, Kiiro's appearance vastly changes. Her hair is let loose, and she dons a tight bodysuit that covers her head-to-toe. A large collar obscures her chin and she has a large metallic greaves that covers her legs up to her thighs. On her left arm is a blade and on her back a large, stylish cape. The bodysuit is primarily white with yellow highlights.
Personality
To her subordinates, Kiiro comes off as calm and professional, but this drastically changes whenever she's near Naoto. She will do anything to get close to him, and will invade his privacy or personal space to get close to him. She seems to be largely oblivious to his feelings in her pursuit for his affection. Kiiro despises Raquel Alucard for being so close to Naoto and wishes to kill her, but is forced to relent because of her occupation and that the Agency needs her. Naoto gets the impression that Kiiro is a masochist.[1]
Calling Kiiro a "mosaic" is guaranteed to make her as angry as she can possibly be. She hates Spinner Superior for murdering her sisters and wants nothing more than his death. Kiiro does have a softer side that comes to surface when she talks about her sisters and her origins.
Biography
Kiiro was made with the parts of the other six Dimensional Boundary Contact Prime Field Es units that had been murdered by Spinner Superior. She was employed then by the Mitsurugi Agency. After the Mass-Disappearing Incident, Kiiro was put in charge of the Immortal Breakers Valkenhayn R. Hellsing and Relius Clover, and the three of them pursued Clavis Alucard.
Bloodedge Experience - Part 1
Kiiro first appears when she entered Naoto's apartment which had been destroyed in a fight involving Clavis, Valkenhayn, and Relius. She came to greet Naoto and apologize for the mess that Relius and Valkenhayn had created. Before she did so, she whispered in Raquel's ear that she wanted to dissect her but would relent for Naoto's sake. Kiiro told Naoto that she wanted to start a relationship with him, that she was aiming to exterminate Clavis, and the goal of the Mitsurugi Agency in maintaining world peace.
She offered Naoto a place to stay in a hotel but was rejected when she wouldn't reveal if she would be staying there as well. Before she left, Kiiro asked Naoto what his Drive is but he was confused at the question.[2]
A few days later in the dead of night, Kiiro and a squad of Sleipnir agents arrived at Shin Kawahama First High School. There, they recovered the defeated body of Tadayuki Isa. Kiiro approached Naoto and explained to him that they would save his teacher's life by extracting the bug that was making him an Apostle and that they would keep the recordings that the Apostle made of him and Kana Kirishima.
As she was about to leave, Spinner arrived for Raquel. He was about to deal a deadly blow to Naoto but Kiiro intervened, cutting down the attack with her Drive. He called her a "mosaic" and Kiiro exploded with rage, launching a wild fury of Drive attacks until she finally scored a hit on the mage's body. She screamed that she would kill him right where he stood. Raquel diffused the situation and Spinner left. Kiiro began to walk home, clenching her fists and crying.[3]
Bloodedge Experience - Part 2
Kiiro spent her time being tuned by the Agency a few days after the incident with Spinner. Most of Spinner's Apostles were also being hunted down with fervor, with the assailant implied to be Kiiro.[4]
Relius and Valkenhayn broke down a magic circle that was amplifying the power that Spinner was employing in his battle against Raquel and Naoto. Kiiro finally arrived at the last second with her Murakumo to strike down Spinner, who had been corrupted by the Boundary. As she descended to the battle, she struck the mage down multiple times with her blades.
She rushed to Naoto's side and cried as she held his hand. The battle with Spinner had severely maimed the boy. She turned to Raquel and blamed her for everything that had happened. In her anger, she readied her Drive and Murakumo once more and threw her attack. It was blocked by Clavis, who calmly told Kiiro to retreat if she didn't wish to die. Understanding that she stood little chance, Kiiro backed off.[5]
Kiiro later visited Naoto in hospital. She wore a large coat and after explaining the source of his new limbs, she took it off, revealing that she was naked underneath. She asked the teenager to look and revealed her origins to him. She then extended an invitation to him to join the Mitsurugi Agency, but upon the rejection, remarked that the two of them would be enemies as they both pursued the Azure.[6]
Powers and Abilities
Kiiro's strengths mainly lie within her Drive, which is unnamed. With it, she can essentially cut through anything, including the liquid dark magic conjured by Spinner. When enraged, she can launch her Drive multiple times in a mad flurry of slashes. When using her Murakumo Unit, Kiiro can hover in the air and conjure multiple blades of light.
Given that she is a Prime Field Device, it is possible that Kiiro is immune to the effects of seithr. For whatever reason, her heartbeat is in synchronization with Naoto's.
