The first of ''Date A Live'''s two WildCard characters, Kurumi is a major supporting character for the fic.
In her hideout, Kurumi was planning the next stage of her plans while Phantom decides to pay her a visit. Not particularly enjoying the enigmatic entity's presence, she is then perplexed when Phantom tells her that 'her friend' is about to visit the city.
Kurumi refuses to believe this, as she has told this friend not to come yet. However, Phantom's warning turns out to be true as Rinne plays her Angel's music to signal her arrival to the city, to which Kurumi decides to answer by picking her up in an abandoned park.
After Rinne explains her reasons for coming to the city without informing her, Kurumi's role is established as her friend's supporter and assistant for the sake of Rinne's plan.

** Only a few characters are aware of her motivations InUniverse, and [[BitchInSheepsClothing none]] [[AxCrazy of]] [[TheUnfettered her]] [[BlueAndOrangeMorality behavior]] helps to make her look symphathetic. As a result, the only ones who see her as an AntiVillain are the ones who are willing to look past her facade and see her true nature (Shido, Rinne and Phantom); the rest sees her as an irredeemable monster not worthy of any trust or consideration.
** On the other hand, as Shido and Rinne are able to see Kurumi's more human and symphathetic side, this motivates the two of them to push Kurumi into performing a HeelFaceTurn, something that Kurumi desperately wants to avoid.
* AxCrazy: Notably downplayed, she is less of a psycho here than in canon, possibly due to Rinne's influence before even meeting Shido in the story. She ''is'' still Kurumi however, as she still kills people on a regular basis on and off-screen.
* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' make fun of Rinne around her if you know what's good for you. She almost attacks Phantom when the entity impersonates Rinne, only stopping because Kurumi senses the real Rinne's arrival on Tenguu City. [[spoiler:When Kurumi finds out that Phantom tried to manipulate her friend, she lets out a SkywardScream in rage.]]
* BrutalHonesty: Kurumi WillNotTellALie, but this isn't always a good thing. [[spoiler:She verbally kicks Rinne in the gut with this trope in Chapter 8.]]
* CastFromLifespan: The consequences for her SuperpowerLottery. She mitigates this with her [[LifeDrinker City of Devouring Time]].
* CastingAShadow: Her secondary powers.
* CloningBlues: Kurumi still treats her clones (which are temporal clones created from her past memories and experiences) as mere expendable pawns here. Perhaps even more so than canon, since she explicitly orders her clones to ''commit suicide'' just to return their memories to her for quicker information gathering. [[spoiler:It also made the lives of her clones - one of them in particular - harder than it should be.]]
* CosplayOtakuGirl: Her InUniverse OldShame is that she used to be this, with extra emphasis on ''both'' the cosplay ''and'' the otaku part. There are signs that she still enjoys it, as seen when she actually keeps her cosplay outfit from five years ago, and even knows that an anime festival is held inside one of Tenguu City's malls.

Introduced as Kurumi's close friend and confindant, Rinne has her own objective to accomplish in Tenguu City. With Kurumi's help, she later manages to have a private meeting with Shido on Raizen's rooftop.

Being made to fit into canon, many of the tropes within the [[Characters/DateALive Character Page]] of ''LightNovel/DateALive'' apply here. When adding tropes, please make sure that the tropes apply exclusively to this fic, or the tropes are more prominent here than in canon.

[[folder:Shido Itsuka]]
!Shido Itsuka (Born:Shido Takamiya)
--> "Don't forget? I can't even remember my own past..."
The protagonist of ''Date A Live'', he retains his position in ''Alternate Reincarnation'' fic.
He begins the story with a strange dream that has occasionally plagued him for years, in which someone asks Shido not to forget about them. He hates it whenever it comes by - it reminds him of his lack of childhood memory and also because the dream leaves him emotionally restless for some reason.
When walking to school, he is then surprised by a familiar melody - that for some reason only he can hear. Convinced that it is caused by a Spirit, Shido tries to look into it, only to be stopped by Kurumi's City of Devouring Time that unexpectedly appears around the area he searches for, before that too disappears again just as quickly.
Puzzled, Shido spends the rest of the day wondering about both the Spirit who causes the music and Kurumi. Until after school that is, when he accidentally passes by two beautiful girls that he recognizes as Kurumi and Phantom - or so he thought to be.
After leaving Kurumi to the other Spirits with him at the time, Shido chased the other girl all the way back to Raizen, where the supposed "Phantom" introduces herself as Rinne Sonogami - a name so familiar, that it reminds him of the dream he had.
----
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: A minor one during the RecapEpisode part of Chapter 1. Shido is actually afraid of sealing the Spirits further due to the possibility of him going berserk again like he did in Volume 12, but it ultimately didn't change his opinion that it must be done.
* AllYourPowersCombined: He already has this to a limited extent in canon, but once [[spoiler:Rio]] enters the picture, [[spoiler:Shido is about as powerful as he was when he went berserk in Volume 12.]]
* BerserkButton: The dream he has in the first chapter. Whenever he thinks or is reminded of the dream, he is ''pissed''. Most notably in Chapter 2, when it drives him into a short-lived rage as he chases "Phantom."
* Determinator: This actually gets [[spoiler:deconstructed in Chapter 5. Shido takes saving Spirits very seriously and will not stop even if it endangers his life. Therefore, he has nothing to say when Miku does exactly the same to try and save Kurumi against his wishes.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Most of Shido's internal conflict in the story is caused by his awareness that he is not acting as he is supposed to be.
** Shido ''knows'' that being angry because of a dream he had is not rational, but he can't help it.
** Shido is utterly baffled when he experiences familiarity with the name "Rinne Sonogami" in Chapter 3, and is even further shocked when he feels a strangely intimate connection with her. He is constantly troubled by this throughout the story, [[spoiler:even more so when it is combined with fear after he gets a vision in which Rinne murders him in Chapter 5]].
** Shido realizes that he [[spoiler:begins acting like Tohka after Rio transforms him into her with "Aspect of the Sephiroth" in Chapter 15]], although he is only mildly worried about this one.
* SupremeChef: Even more so than in canon, as Chapter 5 has each of the Spirits he sealed (minus Kotori, Miku and Nia) praise him for the new recipe of pasta he made for dinner. He attributes it to the new "training" Kotori subjected him into.
* TaughtByExperience: Shido is able to identify the melody he heard in Chapter 1 as supernatural in nature by comparing it to Gabriel's music.
* TrainingFromHell: In Chapter 5, Shido reveals that after the date with Nia, Kotori subjects him to even more training to increase his skills - and not just dating this time.
* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: [[spoiler:Shido's trauma-induced coma is the direct cause for Rio's birth, as explained by Reine in Chapter 7.]]
* {{Trigger}}: The dream he has in Chapter 1 becomes this from time to time. He later experiences a massive one when [[spoiler:he sees Rinne's Spirit form for the first time, after which he slips into a trauma-induced coma]].
