Blue Reflectors

Hiori Hirahara

Hiori Hirahara

Voiced by: Manaka Iwami (Japanese), Kayli Mills (English)

A cheerful girl who likes to help others and doesn’t hesitate to become their friend. While she portrays a cheerful front, she prefers to hide her own issues from her friends. She becomes a Reflector to help those whose Fragments have become stabilized and to locate her missing sister, who she cares for a lot.

---

• Be Careful What You Wish For: At the Tanabata Festival she wishes to see her sister. That night she finally sees Mio again and learns that she is stealing Fragments as a Red Reflector, which devastates Hiori.
• Big Eater: She can eat an impressive amount of food, which Ruka find weird.
• Big Sister Worship: After losing their mother, Hiori became even closer to Mio and greatly admires her. It pains her to accept that Mio is her enemy that she must fight, as she is the most important person to Hiori.
• Heroes Prefer Swords: While all Reflectors wield a sword, Hiori is one of the only ones who doesn't transform hers into another weapon, nor does she rely on magic very much to supplement her fighting abilities.
• The Klutz: She trips into Ruka in their first meeting, knocks over Miyako’s boxes when moving her stuff, and can’t cut paper straight when preparing for the Tanabata Festival.
• Pink Heroine: She is the protagonist of Ray, and her Reflector form is dominantly pink with white accents.
• Stepford Smiler: Losing her sister caused her a lot of pain, but she keeps up a bright façade anyway. Her friends can tell she is troubled, but it still takes her awhile to open up about her true feelings as she believes everyone else’s feelings are more important.

Ruka Hanari

Ruka Hanari

Voiced by: Haruka Chisuga (Japanese), Brianna Knickerbocker (English)

A shy girl who has trouble communicating with other people. She can recognize those in need, but lacks the confidence to support them with her own initiative. Due to this, she holds deep regrets over her past failure to help someone when they needed it. She becomes a Reflector to never feel that kind of regret again.

---

• Decoy Protagonist: Almost the entire first episode is from her perspective, making us think she'll be the lead.
• Energy Bow: She often transforms her sword into a bow that generates its own arrows for ranged attacks.
• New Transfer Student: In the first episode she transfers to Tsukinomiya due to her parents needing to work overseas.
• Shrinking Violet: She’s incredibly reserved and reluctant to talk to anyone of her own accord. This is something she wants to overcome, to the point of buying self-help books to learn how to talk to people. Thanks to Hiori she’s able to open up more as the series progresses.

• The Heavy: While not the main antagonist, Mio's relationships and past actions define most of the show. Lots of attention is given to both her motivations and what everyone else thinks about her. This becomes most apparent when it's revealed that it was her failure to help Shino in the previous timeline that drove Shino to create the Red Reflectors.
• Knight Templar Big Sister: Everything she does is for Hiori’s sake, including stripping the world of negative emotions just so that Hiori won’t have to feel the pain of those feelings and risk dying due to it.

She nearly got herself killed before Mio took her in.
• Heel–Face Turn: After being manipulated and discarded by Shino, Niina starts stabilizing Fragments instead of stealing them. Eventually she teams up with the Blue Reflectors, though she insists she’s working with them just so that she can stop Mio from committing anymore sins.

• Dragon Their Feet: With Shino's defeat at the end of the show she is the only Red Reflector to not repent and accept that she was wrong. Not only does she remain a Red Reflector, but she's also hinted to still have her powers and is free to do whatever she wants.
• Lack of Empathy: She's never had real connections with anyone and doesn't acknowledge the feelings of others beyond a way to use them to her own benefit and amusement.
• Psycho Supporter: She does believe in the Red Reflector's cause to strip away emotions since she thinks that will create a world more appropriate for her, but she's equally invested in sending others into despair and causing havoc more as well.
