Hikaru Shido

Hikaru is one of the three Magic Knights summoned to Cephiro by Princess Emeraude; the Knight of Fire. She is the smallest of the three knights, often mistaken for an elementary student and considered a bit tomboyish by her classmates. Despite her height and her apparent naivete, she can be quite fierce and strong when the need calls for it. Underneath her ever-present smiles and innocence, there lies the spirit of a warrior who is determined to protect her friends and everyone's happiness even at the cost of her own. Because of this, as the series evolves, she is the one who is most affected - physically and mentally - by all the brutality and war around her. Nonetheless, Hikaru keeps a strong facade, trying not to worry Umi and Fuu who she considers her most precious friends, despite only having met them moments before being dragged into Cephiro.
