Background / History
Kiriori lost both biological parents while still young. Her grandparents had already died, and her remaining relatives did not want to raise her; at their funeral, she described herself as “unwanted.” Haihara, a former colleague of Kiriori’s mother, offered to raise her despite being a university student with limited means. Kiriori chose adoption over her inheritance, and Haihara became her adoptive mother. 28 29
She grew into an exceptionally accomplished student. By age sixteen, she had joined the student council and was hosting school-festival events; later, she became Kaedehara High School’s student council president and top-ranked third-year student. 30 134
Before the main Magical Girl group formed, Kiriori had already fought as Phantom Wind. Her early confidence in her ability to solve every problem was shattered when she discovered that the Chameleon Monster’s host was Haihara. Unable to stop the threat or identify its creator, she came to regard the incident as an unforgivable personal failure. 173 425
She initially declined to resume Magical Girl activity, believing the newer protectors of Maple Plain City should handle the city’s threats. However, she considered them inexperienced and returned to battle when the Chameleon Monster crisis escalated. 132 153
Appearance
Kiriori is a tall, graceful girl with long, thick black hair. At school, she is known for an immaculate uniform, upright posture, and a dignified presence that draws attention even during formal ceremonies. 134 144
- Long, fine black hair, described as smooth and fragrant. 330
- Tall, slender build; she resembles Haihara in stature and features. 189
- Maintains a meticulously neat school-uniform appearance. 134 195
- In her Ace-absorbed form, she manifests rusted black armor and a centaur-like knightly body. 450
- Her transformed Phantom Wind form has crimson eyes. 446
Personality
At school, Kiriori presents herself as perfect, gentle, modest, and composed. She is admired by students and teachers alike, but this polished image leaves her without many genuinely close peers. She handles confessions tactfully and remembers individual students’ names and accomplishments. 9 24
Privately, Kiriori is deeply attached to Haihara and has long sought her affection and attention. Her fear of abandonment—rooted in losing her biological parents—can make her anxious, possessive, or controlling when Haihara is endangered. 30 427 446
She is normally calm and dependable under pressure, often taking command during crises. However, prolonged stress, nightmares, Haihara’s memory loss, and the threat of losing her again leave her emotionally unstable; this instability directly affects her magical power. 305 420 424

Relationships
