⚏Story ⚏

Two young girls wander in a broken world filled with remnants of its former self: Arcaea.

Arcaea are melodical shards of the past that call out to the girls, but each chooses to be experienced only by one or the other. Over time, the girls begin to notice inconsistencies in the Arcaea that choose them and develop conflicting views about the world as it once was.

Character: Hikari

Name

Hikari's name means "light" in Japanese.

Appearance

Hikari has white hair that extends down to chest height, curling at the end. She wears a red beret on her head with a navy blue liner. The beret also has a navy blue ribbon attached with a crystal.

She wears a white dress with red bowties on her neck and waist. The sleeve has a red emblem. White ribbons extend from the waist part of the shirt. She wears a gray pleated skirt with a white liner, and a white inner skirt.

The dress extends down to her feet but her skirt goes down to her thighs. She wears white ballerina shoes and white socks with a motif at the upper end. The ends of the dress has a pointy ornament.

Hikari has five alternate versions: Hikari (Zero), Hikari (Fracture) (who appeared in Luminous Sky), Hikari & Fisica, Hikari (Summer) and Hikari & Seine.

Personality

Hikari is a carefree girl that sees the world of Arcaea with positivity. She is always intrigued and fascinated about what she sees. Even if some Arcaea surrounding her are grim and full of conflict, she believes that there is beauty in those memories as well.

Entry 1-1

Her first impression was that she'd awakened to a cloud of glass butterflies. "How pleasant," she thought, "that these figures can move as well. Where are the strings?"

She sat onto her knees, fixed her dress, and found that there were no strings, and these were not butterflies. Glass shards, flying on their own. "Delightful!" she felt, and so she said it.

The glass reflected another world than the one in white surrounding her. In it she could see reflections of seas, cities, fires, lights; she rose her hand to scatter them, and laughed in joy.

She didn't know these pieces of glass had a name: Arcaea. To tell the truth, they were so beautiful that it didn't matter the name. She entertained herself by touching them, swirling them, watching them. That was enough, no?

There were six questions to ask: who, what, where, when, why, and how. Of these questions, she asked none and desired no answers, content instead to bask in the glow of Arcaea. This was her meeting with a new world.
