15--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuukiTakada
16
17Hinako Shirai is the main protagonist and a former, semi-famous ballet dancer. She sustained a knee injury and still suffers from its aftereffects, essentially being forced to quit. With losing her livelihood as a dancer, Hinako suffered from depression and couldn't attend school for several months.
18
19Upon being able to attend the Hoshinomiya highschool, she meets Sanae Nishida and ends up transported into the Common, and turning into a Reflector. Yuzu and Lime Shijou serve as her guides into the finer aspects of being a Reflector and its duties in the Common.
20
21She was initially hesitant to keep doing her Reflector duties, but chose to complete it when Lime told her there would be a reward. She will be granted one wish upon defeating the Sephira.
22----
23* BarrierWarrior: She can reflect attacks from bosses in cutscenes as a Reflector.
24* BrokenAce: Was considered an Ace for ballet, but then her injury happened.
25* BrokenBird: Her career-ending knee injury turned her bitterly pessimistic by the time she came back to school. The game's events help her slowly grow out of it however.
26* CareerEndingInjury: Sustains a knee injury that keeps her from dancing.
27* TheChosenOne: Yuzu and Lime picked her to be a Reflector.
28* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Her Reflector outfit's accents are pink.
29* CoolSword: Her longsword is made out of blue crystal.
30* CoupDeGraceCutscene: Has a reflecting duel with the boss when their HP reaches zero.
31* CutscenePowerToTheMax: The above reflecting duel is an automatic cutscene.
32* DanceBattler: Several of her artes involve dance and can give out buffs.
33* DavidVSGoliath: During the cutscene against Sephira, she is the small David.
34* DeadpanSnarker: Mostly in her mind.
35* DespairEventHorizon: The start of the game has her close to one because of the knee injury. She as good as admits to Sanae that she has been contemplating suicide because she felt useless without being able to dance.
36* TheEmpath: She can find a person's Fragment as a Reflector and peer into their mind, allowing her to figure out their real feelings. The catch is that the person can be aware that Hinako is reading their thoughts.
37* EmpathicHealer: Hinako stabilizes Fragments by understanding what the person is feeling and managing to empathize with them. But if the person's feelings are too strong, they can overwhelm her.
38* FriendlessBackground: She doesn't really bring it up or seem that hung up about it, but besides Sarasa (who is heavily implied to not be that close to her at least until the events of the game apart from being rivals studying in the same ballet school), Hinako doesn't seem to have much friends before meeting the Shijou sisters.
39* GratuitousFrench: The names of her skills contain the French names for the Western zodiac signs. Possibly a callback to her past as a classical ballerina, where French is commonly used.
40* HeroicBSOD: The game begins with her just having gotten out of one as she spent months locked in her room and missing an entire school term due to the pre-game events. She has ''three'' more over the course of the game itself.
41** Whenever her [[TraumaButton knee injury]] is brought up by other people except for herself and a few select friends, she goes into a small nervous breakdown until she calms down.
42** She has another when Yuri explains that it's physically impossible for the Common to grant the wish of healing her leg in the real world. Up until then, that had been her entire motivation to fight as a Reflector.
43** Almost suffers one from Yuzu's revelations and Lime confirming them. She fully breaks down when she learns that completing her mission as a Reflector means that Yuzu and Lime will disappear, and that Hinako won't remember that they ever existed.
44* HeroesPreferSwords: She fights with a longsword.
45* InASingleBound: Finds out that she can jump really high as a Reflector.
46* InformedFlaw: Downplayed. The game makes repeated mention of Hinako's knee injury that is bad enough that she can only do minor exercise and always walks with a minor limp, yet she can run around the school just fine.
47* JackOfAllStats: All of her stats are well-balanced between the Shijou sisters.
48* JumpedAtTheCall: When she learned that she gets a wish granted for completing her mission, she was on board.
49* LethalChef: While we don't really see the results, the Shijou sisters and Sanae's reactions to the dish Hinako attempted cooking all but say that the outcome didn't turn out pretty.
50* MagicalEye: Her right eye becomes blue when she transforms into a Reflector.
51* NiceGirl: Sarcastic thoughts and deadpan moments aside, Hinako cares a lot for the well-beings of her friends and would go out of her way to help a person in need, though she still needs to be pushed for her to go out and act. Combined with her ability to empathize, this is likely why she was chosen as a Reflector out of the many girls Yuzu and Lime could have picked out there instead.
52* OnlySaneMan: Poor Hinako has to deal with a lot of her new friends' quirks and eccentricities by the time she gets to know them better. Best seen around Shihori.
53* PinkHeroine: She is the protagonist of the first entry of ''Blue Reflection.,'' and her Reflector Form is primarily white with pink accents.
54* PowerDyesYourHair: As a Reflector, her hair lightens to a sandy blonde.
55* ThePowerOfLove: She uses the compassion and bonds with her friends to overpower Mao's malice (which is so exceedingly powerful as to be actually ''dangerous'').
56* RingOfPower: It allows her to transform into a Reflector.
57* SexyBacklessOutfit: Her Reflector dress leaves most of her back free. Doubles as ImpossiblyCoolClothes because there is nothing keeping the lower part of her leotard attached to her body aside from, ostensibly, magic.
58* TheStoic: Not to Lime's extent but Hinako tends to be rather withdrawn, though she has [[NotSoStoic moments]] of emotional outbursts every now and then.
59* SwordBeam: Some of her skills have her pull one off.
60* TrainingFromHell: Her ballet training videos taught her efficiency. When she makes Yuzu, Lime and Sarasa undergo one of them, all three are exhausted. She admits to only being able to do one of those a week, as it was otherwise too strenuous.
61* TraumaButton: For her, it's bringing up her knee injury and rubbing in the fact that she can no longer do ballet to her face.
62* YankTheDogsChain: When she learns that her original wish of healing her leg can't be granted. Subverted when her new wish to not forget Yuzu and Lime does come true.

76----
77* CallingYourAttacks: Does it the most as a Reflector.
78* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Her Reflector accents are indigo.
79* DeadAllAlong: Yuzu was one of the test subjects for experiments with the Common, but died in an accident a year ago. The Common offered to resurrect her and Lime for a while, so they could find a Reflector to defend the planet.

81* FlowerMotifs: Her attacks use flower species in their names.
82* GenkiGirl: Full off energy at all times!
83* GirlishPigtails: Has her hair set in two, high braids.
84* HurricaneOfPuns: Her lunch interview segment consists of saying 40 horrible puns. The player is spared from having to sit through most of them, as the scene cuts to black after only a few.
85* ImprobableWeaponUser: Uses a wand, but can split it into two and uses them like batons.
86* TheNicknamer: She gives everyone a nickname, usually a diminutive form of their first name.

99
100One of the Shijou sisters. She and Yuzu suddenly appeared next to Hinako on her first schoolday, revealing themselves to be Reflectors, too.
101
102Lime is more subdued than Yuzu and often borders on being stoic. Her mind is focused on their mission of obtaining Fragments to protect the world, leaving her to butt heads with Yuzu or Hinako, at times.
103----
104* AnimalMotif: All of her skills have animal names in them.
105* BerserkButton: Picking on Hinako. While Yuzu shares the same berserk button as her, Lime gets much, much angrier about it despite [[DissonantSerenity appearing calm]] and [[TranquilFury eerily subdued about it]].
106* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Her Reflector accents are yellow that fades into green.
107* DeadAllAlong: Like Yuzu, she was a test subject for experiments on the Common, but died in an accident a year ago. The Common resurrected her and Yuzu for a while, so they could find a Reflector to defend the planet.
108* EdibleThemeNaming: Hinako calls her and Yuzu the citrus sisters sometimes because of their names.
109* EmotionlessGirl: She rarely emotes in her facial expression or voice.
110* GlassCannon: Is the best damage dealer, but has the worst defense and speed.
111* GoodIsNotSoft: Lime admits to manipulating other girls in school into letting their emotions grow stronger, allowing them to create more powerful Fragments to collect.
112* ImprobableWeaponUser: Uses her Mr Bear as her main weapon.
113* OffscreenTeleportation: Does it a few times.
114* PinkMeansFeminine: Her Reflector form wears pink ballet shoes.
115* SiblingYinYang: The stoic, borderline emotionless, and somewhat cold with hints of unscrupulousness sister to the cheefully energetic optimist that is Yuzu.
116* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her name is Lime, but sometimes gets phonetically written into Raimu.
117* WellIntentionedExtremist: Lime will do whatever it takes to create strong Fragments, even if this means allowing students to be bullied. All for the sake of being better equipped against the Sephira.

126
127A first-year and the first girl that Hinako sees go rampant. She was an avid fan of Hinako's and was excited to see that she was not only attending the same school as her, but is in the same class as well.
128----
129* BlindWithoutEm: As revealed in one of her scenarios.
130* {{Fangirl}}: She's an avid fan of Hinako, to the point where she got excited when she learned the latter is attending the same school and is in the same class as her.
131* FeminineWomenCanCook: Her hobby is cooking.
132* TheMedic: Her support ability is healing the party. Since she comes up as often as the others, she can effectively be your medic throughout Sephira fights.
133* SupremeChef: As a member of the cooking club, her skills will not disappoint anyone.
134* WordSaladLyrics: Could probably summarize the lyrics she thought of during her rap battle with Hinako.

141
142A first-year who loves making friends and playing sports. One of her goals at school is to make as many friends as possible, and she attempts to do that by showing off her athletic talents at an upcoming basketball tournament.
143----
144* TheAce: At basketball. She manages to win a school tournament ''by herself.'' Hinako and Rika came along effectively as moral support.
145* BoyishShortHair: She has wavy short hair.
146* CoolBigSis: Towards ''anyone''.
147* GenkiGirl: Given her love of sports not surprising.
148* InnocentlyInsensitive: While all she means is good, she can be a bit pushy with how forces her help even onto people who never asked for it and what she does with best intention is not really on point.
149* WideEyedIdealist: Her bonding questline involves Kei trying to round up the first years into a basketball team for a tournament, despite them being "convinced" by the seniors. She believes they'll eventually come around, but her patience does end up running dry towards the end.

156
157A first-year who plays tennis. She has a crush on another boy but she's afraid to confess. Hearing that Hinako, Yuzu, and Lime might be able to help, she approaches them for advice.
158----
159* BigEater: She's often talking about snacking on something, despite claiming to be on a diet, and spends her weekends mostly checking out various eateries in town.
160* CannotSpitItOut: Her problem is that she can’t tell the boy she crushes that she loves him straight in the face, so much that she turns unstable from it.

167
168A first-year in the special class. Like Hinako, she's a talented ballet dancer and sees Hinako as a friendly rival. Upon hearing that Hinako quit ballet dancing, she vows to find a way to help her.
169----
170* {{Ballet}}: The rival ballerina to [[TheAce Hinako]], she has the appropriate skills to call herself so.
171* TheCameo: She appears in Hinako's Heartscape memories in ''Second Light''.
172* FieryRedhead: She’s a sociable, determined girl with beautiful red hair.
173* FriendlyRivalry: She does anything she can to help Hinako to overcome her injury and return to ballet because Hinako is the person she looks up to most.
174* TheRival: Self-proclaimed one to Hinako in ballet. It's left ambiguous as to whether or not it was mutual on Hinako's end in the past however. This is deconstructed when she learns Hinako's knee injury prevents her from dancing, causing her to fear that she will have no clear goal to strive for without Hinako as a rival.

181
182A first-year in Hinako's class. Shihori's hobby is in cosmetics and beauty, having been inspired by a fashion designer she met. However this has led to a lot of boys asking her out and with her ending up rejecting most of them. This doesn't go very well with other girls in the class who think she's using her beauty as a cruel means of crushing hopes.
183----
184* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Like the rest of the characters Hinako befriends throughout the game, Shihori becomes attached to Hinako because of her unfailing kindness towards her as well as Hinako's role in helping her mend her issues when they first met. ''Unlike'' most of the girls Hinako befriended however, [[AmbiguouslyLesbian Shihori]] wants to take it a [[LesYay step further]] than just simple friendship.
185* ClothingSwitch: A RunningGag of sorts is that Shihori wants to swap underwear with Hinako. She eventually gets her chance.
186* TheFashionista: She became interested in cosmetics and fashion after meeting a famous designer.
187* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Doesn't see why it would be embarrassing to switch underwear in a hallway full of people when their school is an-all girls school anyway.
188* SoBeautifulItsACurse: A lot of boys like to ask her out. Shihori feels compelled to at least hang out with them as platonic friends, but the popularity is straining. It gets worse when other girls start gossiping about her due to jealousy.
189* YouRemindMeOfX: She becomes interested in Hinako partly because the latter resembles the designer she met in her childhood. The designer turns out to be Hinako's aunt, Yoshiko.

196
197A first-year who's painfully shy. Chihiro finds herself in hot water with the class for being a suspect in a string of thefts.
198----
199* CaringGardener: Takes up tending to the flowers around campus on Hinako's suggestion to get people to notice her, so Chihiro has something people can use to break the ice with.
200* CatSmile: When she opens her mouth, it forms in the shape.
201* GirlishPigtails: The most traditional kind of pigtails amongst the cast.
202* ItsAllMyFault: Chihiro blames herself when someone else gets hurt, even if she had little (if any) to do with it
203* TheMedic: Is a much better healer than Sanae, reviving downed characters, restoring everyone to full HP, and a heal-over-time buff. However she comes up less frequently so it's best to save her until she's really needed.
204* NightmareFetishist: During her theatre date, she considers a horror movie to be cute.
205* PinkMeansFeminine: Her [[RoseHairedSweetie hair]], hair ties and sweater all have the adorable shades of pink.
206* RoseHairedSweetie: She has pink hair and is very kindhearted, to the point where she is concerned for the bully trying to frame her.

216----
217* TheCameo: She can appear, unnamed, in Hinako's anonymous memories in ''Second Light''.
218* CatSmile: Has a mild one to emphasize her GenkiGirl personality.
219* JokeAndReceive: Introduces herself by asking if Hinako was a magical girl, to her surprise. Initially, it was her imagination until Hinako gives her a ring, when memories reveal her that the joke of her being a magical girl ended up being true.
220* GenkiGirl: She's energetic and talkative when she thinks she can get a scoop out of someone.
221* GirlishPigtails: Wears 2 braids with checkered ribbons.
222* GoldFever: What starts her {{workaholic}} issues. She later levels with Hinako and a friend when they had a falling out that the reason she slipped into this was because her family was poor until her dad became famous.
223* InnocentlyInsensitive: In her pursuit of coin and juicy infos, she often causes lots of trouble for others, but she never do it with bad intention.
224* IntrepidReporter: Wants to be one as a career, but is starting off already in school.
225* {{Workaholic}}: Starts to become a problem when she wants to make videos for her fans over taking care of herself.

232
233A first-year talented pianist. Her grandmother taught her at an early age, making her desperate at times to find a way to make her proud. With a recital fast approaching and unable to accept anything she composes, she decides to go on a "Death March" as her father (a software developer) sometimes goes on to get work done.
234----
235* ElegantClassicalMusician: She’s a pianist gifted with absolute pitch and trained from young age.
236* GeniusDitz: Incredible at playing the piano, but tends to do things like "Death Marches" to practice.
237* HypocriticalHumor: During one of her dates, she chides Hinako for ThinkingOutLoud, despite having a habit of doing the same.
238* ThinkingOutLoud: Has a tendency to speak her thoughts, to the point where any other person would go "DidIJustSayThatOutLoud." She also doesn't acknowledge she does this, despite being told she's thinking out loud.

245
246A first-year scientific genius (with her own ''encyclopedia sized thesis'' to boot) who came to Hoshinomiya to study the space-time anomalies that were happening there.
247----
248* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Has the flowing black locks and the traditional HimeCut, [[SubvertedTrope but is nothing like the stereotype]].
249* DitzyGenius: Despite being incredibly intelligent with the phenomenal IQ of ''300'', Yuri is socially awkward due to holing herself up to do research. Part of her CharacterDevelopment is to break out of this shell.
250* EmotionlessGirl: Is worried that she's literally one, but Hinako points out she's not because she is worrying.
251* {{Foil}}: To Fumiyo, arguably. Whereas Yuri has a flaw, but seemingly logical reasons for her ditziness, Fumiyo just does something because she thinks it sounded good at the time.
252* ForgetsToEat: Her first real interaction with Hinako is calling her because Yuri was too busy with research and she needed food. When asked why she didn't just go out to buy some, Yuri admits she only buys things online, the site was down, and so has no idea how physical stores work.
253* {{Hackette}}: Apparently can hack her way into anything, but it's mostly used for comedic relief.
254* IdiotSavant: She admits she is diagnosed with savant syndrome.
255* ImprobableWeaponUser: Somehow has an AR-15 style rifle to use in her support attacks.
256* MirrorCharacter: In some ways, Yuri and [[Anime/BlueReflectionRay Uta]] [[VideoGame/BlueReflectionSecondLight Komagawa]] are mirrors of each other where both girls lack the ability to relate and feel emotion in the way others do. But Yuri had her exceptional talents to fall back on and formed a friendship with Hinako whereas Uta resorted to self-destructive behaviors to feel something.
257* ObfuscatingStupidity:[[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. She’s concealing her monstrous intelligence at school in order not to stand out, so everyone thinks she's just a bit more talented than others.
258* ProperTightsWithASkirt: The only girl wearing black tights in the entire cast.
259* WhenSheSmiles: Shows it in her penultimate scene in ''Anime/BlueReflectionRay'', where she acknowledges Miyako as a friend.

266
267A first-year who always seems to be glued to her phone. She used to run track with Rika, but for reasons she decided to quit.
268----
269* CantCatchUp: The reason she quit track was that, while she started off much better than Rika, Rika eventually outclassed her and she couldn't bring herself to accept that. It really hits home when Rika "rescues" her, runs back to school, and Kaori can barely keep up.
270* CosplayOtakuGirl: Starts to become one at the end of her bonding quests.
271* GyaruGirl: Wears her uniform in Kogal style, minus the loose socks. Unlike what the outfit may suggest, she’s a completely good student.
272* HeroicBSOD: Has a minor one upon finding out the upperclassmen she looked up to was leaving hidden cameras.
273* HiddenDepths: Kaori may seem like someone who's either too distracted on her phone or her looks might suggest she's a delinquent, but in her free time (if she's not glued to her phone), she babysits children and even sees the more as friends. Even when a couple of school girls tease her and a boy for cosplaying, she's more upset they picked on the boy than her.
274* ImprobableWeaponUser: Kicks ''a can'' at the enemy for her support attack.
275* {{Otaku}}: Not only is she always playing some game on her phone, but she loves to purchase merchandise related to said games.
276* PhoneaholicTeenager: She plays a lot of cellphone games.
277* ThoseTwoGirls: Started off this way with Rika, but they went off in their separate paths.

284
285A first year who's in the school's track and field team. According to almost anyone who knows anything about Rika, she's pretty average in just about everything, much to her chagrin. Used to run track with Kaori and wants her to come back.
286----
287* DespairEventHorizon: Tired of perceiving herself as ridiculously average and unable to improve her performance, she sinks into this. It can be inferred she would've committed suicide if Hinako and a teammate hadn't intervened.
288* HeroicBSOD: Has a minor one upon finding out the upperclassmen she looked up to was leaving hidden cameras.
289* IJustWantToBeNormal: Moreso of what her peers think. Rika's in track because she ''wants'' to be, not because she's expected to, much to her teammates' envy.
290* IJustWantToBeSpecial: She just wants to do ''anything'' that'll make her stand out.
291* RidiculouslyAverageGuy: Rika's self-proclaimed defining trait. It's grated her so much that she freaks out every time she hears the word "normal." It gets even more ridiculous at anything she enjoys; everyone else either thinks it's "average" or "normal"
292* ThoseTwoGirls: Started off this way with Kaori, but they went off in their separate paths.

300A first-year in the special class who is a famous actress.
301----
302* TheAce: At acting. Not only on-stage but off-stage as well.
303* AlphaBitch: Mao shows off her true colors during the first reading of The Little Mermaid screenplay by showing that she knows a lot of her classmate's dark secrets and is willing to use these as blackmail.
304* AlphaStrike: Summons ''a squad of planes'' to attack the boss. ''How'' they're even moving on a TimeStandsStill plane is anyone's guess, though they could be unmanned.
305* BigBadWannabe: Mao is responsible for a huge amount of mundane drama happening around Hinako at school, in part due to having a personal grudge on her. In a typical high school drama, she would most likely be the BigBad. However, she is absolutely nothing compared to the Sephirot.
306* BrokenBird: Her parents did ''anything'' they could to get Mao in lead roles. One incident involved humiliating Mao's friend who was competing just to get her to step down. Upon her parents splitting up for being investigated, they were squabbling over who gets custody of Mao (who in turn will let them live comfortably). Mao's classmates then started shunning her thinking she was a fraud this whole time.
307* CardCarryingVillain: PlayedForDrama: Mao actively ''chooses'' to be malicious and cruel to others because she believes HumansAreBastards and thus everyone is rotten. She does on some level see it as NecessarilyEvil, however.
308* DarkAndTroubledPast: Mao's parents saw her as nothing more than a hen that lays golden eggs, and did anything they could to make sure she gets lead roles. When they divorced for being investigated, they bicked over who will get custody of Mao (and thus be able to live comfortably). Mao's classmates started shunning her, wrongly thinking her to be a fraud when it was actually her parents who were responsible.
309* EnemyMine: Sure, she may hate Hinako with every fiber of her being, but between her and the Sephirot destroying the school, she'll take Hinako.
310* {{Foil}}: To Hinako. Both want to help people, but where Hinako does so by way of empathy and understanding, Mao does so through assertiveness and being CruelToBeKind. Though some of her other methods are questionable. Hinako even muses that she very well could have been just like Mao had things gone differently.
311* HumansAreBastards: Due to her experiences with her parents who used her for her own ambitions and her "friends" who abandoned her the moment bad rumors spread about her, Mao is very cynical about others. This ties into the NecessarilyEvil way she resolves conflicts, as shown by how she tries to manage people's vices to limit their damage rather than try to help them overcome these vices. She takes offense when Hinako undoes the status quo that she maintained among the festival committee's delinquents and [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids looks down on the latter's more idealistic methods]].
312* KickTheDog: Constantly pushing Hinako's TraumaButton in different and very underhanded ways throughout the story. The first time by telling a couple of bullies about Hinako's accident (something she never told anyone outside Sanae, Sarasa, and the Shijou sisters) so they could bring it up and terrorize her further with that knowledge, and the second time by completely changing The Little Mermaid's script's ending to hammer in the fact that Hinako's knee will never heal and therefore, no longer do ballet.
313* LovableAlphaBitch: Hinako comes to realize Mao isn't completely a bitch, just that she has her methods that Hinako doesn't agree with.
314* ThePowerOfHate: Her sheer malice is so powerful that her going rampent ''drags others into it with her'' and makes her Fragment actually ''dangerous'' for the girls to even be near. Note, this makes her more dangerous that the literal ''demons'' in the Common, who can only eject them from the Common. Hinako is able to defeat it with ThePowerOfLove however. After she joins the heroes, she's able to use it to ''harm a Sephirot''.
315* QuitYourWhining: Delivers one to Hinako on the final encounter with the invading Sephira.
316* ThenLetMeBeEvil: She [[UsedToBeASweetKid used to be a good person]] who wanted to pursue her acting career honestly, but when her parents ruined her reputation with their dishonest methods and caused everyone to unfairly blame her, she becomes a bitter and ruthless AlphaBitch. Downplayed in that she still wants to do good for her school, but doesn't bother with nice methods unless it's pragmatic.
317* TookALevelInKindness: Downplayed. She's still a {{Jerkass}} towards Hinako after joining as a supporter, but she's more willing to help the latter even outside of fighting the Sephirot, as shown when she allows Hinako to take the lead role in the play, albeit with coaching. She's also willing to hang out with Hinako after school, even if she's still caustic in their conversations.
318* VitriolicBestBuds: Ironically, Mao is able to open up to Hinako in a BrutallyHonest way because the latter knows her true nature, giving them a strange bond of grudging respect.

321!Sephirot
322The main antagonists of the game. Each is an EldritchAbomination that seeks to end the world and destroy humanity. They do so by target the Singularities where the Reflectors are able manifest their powers. One Singularity happens to be the Hoshinomya High School, which Hinako strives to protect.
323
324[[folder:In General]]
325!!Tropes applied to all Sephirot
326* BattleRoyaleGame: InUniverse. The Sephirot were not always fighting Reflectors but rather fought each other and still are. The winner happens to be able to remake the world as it sees fit. Presumably, the unseen ones fell in battle this way, if not against the Reflectors guarding the other Singularities.
327* BigBadEnsemble: They are the main threats that Hinako and the others have to face to save the world.
328* EldritchAbomination: The Sephirot are god-like beings, not even remotely humanoid and capable of remaking the world InTheirOwnImage if they're the last Sephira standing. The only Sephira who's remotely comprehensible by humans is [[spoiler:Daath]], and that's likely because [[spoiler:they're created in its image.]]
329* EliteFour: The four Sephirot faced by the Reflectors form this dynamic, but [[spoiler:the final chapter reveals the surprise appearance of a fifth one: Daath. In the Tree of Life, Da'at represents the unified state of the 10 Sephirot and isn't considered one itself.]]
330* TheGhost: Only five of the Sephirot have been shown: Yesod, Cochma, Tiphereth, Netzach, and [[spoiler:Daath]]. Considering the number of nodes in the Kabbalah, the ones not seen are: [[spoiler:Keter, Binah, Gevurah, Hesed, Hod, and Malkhut]].
331* InTheirOwnImage: The reward for the Sephira who wins the battle royale. [[spoiler:Daath is responsible for creating humanity and made the Reflector system to stay winning.]]
332* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Named after the actual Sephira on the Kabbalah or Jewish Tree of Life.
333* NonMaliciousMonster: It's noted the Shepirot don't so much have anything against humanity, so much as they all have their own idea for what the world should be like. Unfortunately for humanity, those ideas likely don't include them or would be detramental for them with the sole exception of [[spoiler:Daath]].
334* ResurrectiveImmortality: It's implied that the Sephirot can never truly be destroyed, and will eventually resurrect to resume their conflict some day far in the future.

341 [[caption-width-right:350:First Sephira]]
342The first of the Sephirot to appear at the high school.
343----
344* EyeBeams: Its main face fires these when its hands are not covering it.
345* KnightOfCerebus: At first, the game looked like a standard MagicalGirl game with Hinako making friends and solving their problems at increasing complexity. Then Yesod comes in as the first Sephira to appear, taking a turn where not just the Reflectors but the school itself is involved in the conflict, with them and their supporters the only defense against them.
346* {{Leitmotif}}: The Toshitake mix.

353 [[caption-width-right:350:Second Sephira]]
354The second Sephira to appear, resembling a land battleship with a smoothbore cannon for its face.
355----
356* {{Leitmotif}}: The TIGAR mix.
357* MilitaryMashupMachine: The best way to describe the Sephira. It has a half-track base for propulsion, six artillery cannons akin to a multi-barrel self-propelled artillery gun on the sides, multiple machine guns all over its body, and its front face has a large smoothbore cannon akin to a tank destroyer.
358* SapientTank: More like half-track and tank destroyer combined with several artillery guns yet still a living creature, shown with a face at the front and a large smoothbore cannon for its mouth.
359* SmokeOut: One of its abilities avoid the Reflectors’ attacks.

366 [[caption-width-right:350:Third Sephira]]
367A flying mechanical Sephira that resembles a biblically accurate angel.
368----
369* AngelicAbomination: Shaped like an actual Cherub or Seraph from the old biblical texts.

376 [[caption-width-right:350:Fourth Sephira]]
377A flying Sephira resembling a knight with a jousting lance.
378----
379* KnightOfCerebus: More so than Yesod. Tanks everything the Reflectors throw at it and nearly kills them with OneHitKill attacks. It takes a MidSeasonUpgrade to stop it. Also this for the wider series [[spoiler:as it's a HeroKiller in ''Anime/BlueReflectionRay'' that defeated Reflectors Momo and Mio, establishing the DarkerAndEdgier tone of the show and the fallout from their loss.]]
380* {{Leitmotif}}: The [=DNF FW15C=] mix.
381* LegacyBossBattle: In [[VideoGame/AtelierLydieAndSuelleTheAlchemistsAndTheMysteriousPaintings Atelier Lydie and Suelle]], Netzach is the main boss of the DLC area Blue Sentiment Land.

385!!Daath
386----
387* AssimilationPlot: It aims to [[spoiler:unify all of humanity as one, ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Evangelion]]'' style, in order to protect them from the other Sephirot due to fearing their bonds have become weak.]]
388* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:The last Sephira fought in the entire game.]]
389* {{Leitmotif}}: The Sayonara mix.
390* VoiceOfTheLegion: Alternates between feminine and masculine voices with an echo effect, fitting its symbolic embodiment of humanity unified as one.
