Hitomi, also known as Pretty Soldier Luna, is a moon warrior disguised as a high school girl enrolled in Shinryu Academy in order to handle the evil presence plaguing the school. She joins the party once said evil presence drops its facade, and they have to fight their way through the school. Based on anime Jimmy watches with Lars, she excels in attacking with both physical and magic attacks and can use her skills rapidly.

## Appearance

Inspired by the *magical girl* genre of anime, Hitomi's design is reminiscent of popular magical girls, most notably characters like Sailor Moon. Her hair is a rich shade of purple (though her overworld sprite makes it look closer to pink) and runs down her back, with her bangs curling upward to the side. In her schoolgirl disguise, she wears a stylized Japanese high school girl's uniform, sporting a white dress shirt, red tie, black jacket, and black skirt.

Once she reveals her true identity as a moon warrior, she wears a hot pink bodysuit that flays out in a skirt shape at the bottom, is ribbed like a turtleneck sweater at the collar, and features a light pink insignia with a purple bulb ornament on her chest. She also wears boots and a hair clip, colored the same as her bodysuit.

## Personality

Hitomi is a parody of many anime tropes, particularly those associated with the magical girl genre. While disguised as a schoolgirl, she acts reserved and delicate toward those around her, rarely seeking confrontation and making sure Jimmy and Lars are okay whenever they get in trouble around Shinryu Academy. Due to her passive nature, she's subject to bullying from her schoolmates and isn't very popular around school. After she joins the party as her true self, she shows far more confidence in her abilities, confronting her previous bullies now revealed to be Shadow Warriors. This new confidence wanes, however, once it's pointed out how obvious it is that she's Hitomi. She continues to deny this fact until Lars reassures her that she doesn't have to lie about herself for people to like her.

She's also stated to love video games, anime, and collectibles, cementing her as Lars' dream woman. It's not weird if she's actually a galactic superhero!

## Description

With no particularly low stats, Hitomi is a highly versatile attacker. Her ATK and MAT are both above average, allowing her to use either type of attack fairly effectively, but she can't quite reach the physical peak of Buck or magic of Andrew. Her versatility is further emphasized by her personality, **Fashionable**, which grants her an extra slot to wear a third trinket, enabling more in-depth equipment setups.

Her skills include both a strong physical and strong magic attack, a magic barrier, and the unique ability to reset all of her cooldowns with Magical Heartbeat. This becomes even more powerful when you equip her with her unique trinket, Heart-Shaped Headphones, extending that cooldown removal to the rest of the party. Cooldown removal becomes particularly useful with manuals like Kung-Fu Punch and Hitomi's own Lunar Serene, skills with their very long cooldown being their only major weakness.

Keep in mind, however, that all this skill usage will dry up Hitomi's MP reserve rather quickly, as her Max MP isn't superb, and her skills are expensive. She may rely on a steady supply of Choco-Cola to be fully effective.

### Base Stats

When Hitomi initially joins the party, her level is set to the average of Jimmy, Punch, and Lars' levels.
