**Hiiragi Sara** is a character in the ROAD59 franchise and is affiliated with the Kurojou-gumi.

## Profile

The youngest of the feared Hiiragi sisters, who is part of the combat faction in the Kurojou-gumi. For Kensei's sake, she is gladly willing to act as a shield for the Kurojou and will mercilessly put down his enemies while scorning and ridiculing them with Renge. In fact, she is heavily devoted to Kensei to the extent that she won't forgive anyone who stands in his way.

## Appearance

Sara has waist-length brown hair with a portion tied back and bangs framing her face. Her hair is adorned with a white flower accessory with forelocks reaching her shoulders. She has a notably slender and supple figure, as well as slanted teal eyes. Similarly to Renge, Sara wears a black oriental gown with a neckpiece and various flower designs embellished on the sleeves. Her skirt has a slit partway up her thigh area that exposes her bare legs. The major difference between the Hiiragi sisters' outfits is that Sara wears shorts underneath her skirt and has her nails painted brown. She also wears long golden earrings with black heels.

## Personality

Contrary to her harsher sibling, Sara is slightly more tolerable and presents herself in a poise and ladylike manner. However, she has many traits derived from the "*ojou-sama*" archetype, resulting in her being very haughty and snobbish towards others. This is exemplified in her feminine and formal way of speaking, ending her sentences with the auxiliaries, "-desu wa" or "-masu" and referring to herself with the dignified pronoun, "watakushi". Whenever she rhapsodizes about Kensei, she becomes extremely obsessive, but in his actual presence she becomes docile.

## Abilities

Just like her sister, Sara fights with a handgun and knife. As a Jingi, she can release gusts of wind to throw off her enemy.

## Relationships

### Shinonome

* Yutsuma Kaya: With the Kurojou, Sara pursues Kaya in the Tenkai Ward. While the two haven't had a genuine conversation, Sara is quite condescending towards Kaya and was appalled to see her talk back to Kensei, potentially attempting to harm her for doing so.

### Kurojou

* Sumeragi Kensei: As the leader of the Kurojou, she obediently serves him and follows his bidding with along with Renge. Sara is heavily loyal and adoring towards him, which stems from her desire to claim his Jingi for herself. As a result, she sees no faults in his tyranny and abuse towards her; rather she fears the possibility of him hating her and states that she would die if that were the case.
* Hiiragi Renge: Her beloved older sister. The two are always found together and in perfect unison with one another, whether it'd be battle or a conversation. They look down on others aside from themselves, but Sara seems to prioritize Kensei over Renge at times.
* Kurogane Kazuomi: While they both work for Kensei, she does not collaborate well with Kazuomi, nor does he enjoy working with her and sister either. She and Renge often call him "Cyborg" as a derogatory nickname.

Renge and Sara meet up with Kurogane Kazuomi in order to plan out their capture for Kaya. Despite being irritated with his attitude, the sisters proceed with their mission anyway. Meanwhile, Kaya tries to run away from the other Jingi organizations, but is suddenly cornered the Hiiragi sisters, who attack her with their Jingi until they end up getting chased away by Shigure. Scenes later, the Hiiragis and Kazuomi end up attacking Kaya once again, who was currently with Bakuto, and are able to capture and bring her to the Kurojou's headquarters in order to meet Kensei.

While Kaya converses with Kensei, she expresses open defiance towards his plans, causing Sara to become offended by her actions. She attempts to likely harm Kaya, but Renge stops Sara from doing so, claiming that she's "Kensei's precious treasure". Witnessing Sara's audacity, Kensei calls her over and inflicts a physical rebuking on her, prompting Sara to beg for his forgiveness. Afterwards, he commands the Hiiragis to escort Kaya away.

The Hakurou later intercedes on the Kurojou, commencing into battle against them. Kaya gets an opportunity to run away with Inaba, prompting Suzuka and Kensei to chase after her, and Kazuomi commands the Hiiragi sisters to follow after them. Upon arrival, the Hiiragis fight against Suzuka, who is strong enough to overpower the sisters with her Jingi abilities, leaving Sara to fend her off on her own while Renge retreats. Suddenly, Renge manages to catch Kaya at knifepoint, much to Kensei's commend. However, as soon as the members of PHOENIX arrive, Renge reveals her alliance to PHOENIX and betrays the Kurojou, turning Kaya in to them. The members of PHOENIX leave after setting off an explosion in the city on them, forcing Sara and Kensei to retreat.

In the next scene, Sara begins to fret over her sister's betrayal and thinks that it could be a misunderstanding, so she pleads to Kensei to forgive Renge, but her efforts are in vain. Instead, he puts her in a chokehold and questions if she is a spy for PHOENIX as well, but she frantically assures him of her loyalty. To see if her claims are legitimate, he orders Sara to kill Renge, which puts her at conflict. Kazuomi offers to do to the task instead, but Kensei stops him, instead bribing Sara into obtaining his Jingi's blood if she is able to kill Renge and retrieve Kaya back. Despite having some initial reluctance, she is convinced to follow his orders and departs.

Soon after, Sara encounters and immediately interrogates Renge, who expresses that she only turned over to PHOENIX due to her dissatisfaction under Kensei's rule, stating that she "prefers the previous Kurojou-gumi". She ultimately wanted to live an ordinary life overseas and offers Sara to join her, but she does not let this fully perturb her and discards Renge's pleas. Sara delightfully exclaims that she doesn't need to live an ordinary life, only wanting to live by Kensei's side and earn his power, much to Renge's horror. Clearly having contrasting views, the sisters battle each other until a bullet by Kensei kills Renge, who was attempted to protect Sara from it. Unable to handle the loss of her sister, Sara asks Kensei to kill her too, stating that she "doesn't want to live in a world without her sister" despite her loyalty to Kensei. Without further question, he accepts her request and shoots her. Right before the scene ends, Kensei apologizes to Sara's corpse, admitting that he was not in fact a Jingi user before immediately shooting her corpse proudly once again.

### 2nd Stage Play

「There you are again, Renge.」
Spoiler Alert!*Note that there are marked spoilers below. In order to reveal the spoiler, hover over the blurred text.*
Sara first appears in a flashback, where she had been looking for Renge during work. She then finds Renge and reminds her that she should hurry and return home to Kensei before it gets too late. Renge then asks Sara if she remembers the first time that the sakura trees bloomed and wonders if the future would be different if "that person" were still alive. Sara gets confused and questions Renge's words, but the latter discards the subject. Sara then points out how busy Renge has been lately, and Renge hints that she has plans to travel overseas with her, which makes the latter delighted to hear. As soon as Renge leaves, Sara gets suspicious and remarks that her sister never takes the chance to tell her anything.

Sara then appears in another flashback, where Benedict and Kensei are discussing business affairs for their respective comapnies. Before Benedict leaves, he (intentionally) drops his handkerchief, prompting Renge to attempt to deliver it back to him before Kensei smacks her with it, much to Sara's shock. Feeling dubious of Benedict, Kensei asks Sara to identify Benedict, but she gives him unspecific answers until he forces the truth out of her, requesting her to look into him. Before the scene ends, Sara affirms to Kensei that she will kill anyone who stands in his way, and Kensei wonders if she'll be able to do so "when the time comes". Kensei places his trust on her, and she departs to prepare his next business meeting, likely the one that Renge stopped Ichijo from engaging in as indicated in the next scene.
