### Human

As a human, Ranyi has a brown ponytail that is described to reach down to her back, and brown eyes. It is said that she often has a "poor expression" on her face. She wears a school uniform.

### Magical Girl

Ranyi has short blue hair where a certain part of it is shaped like a fish's fin. She has red eyes and white pupils with red eye shadow on her eyelids.

She wears a white and red leotard/one-piece outfit decorated with scales and a sliver metal-like belt on her waist. Attached on her shoulder and wrist are several light and dark blue floats. Following her Japanese goldfish motif, she has a matching white and red hat, tail, and a garter on her left thigh.

## Personality

As observed by Tetty Goodgripp, Ranyi upon first impressions is an unwelcoming and curt girl that prefers to stick to her own group.

In Ranyi's own words, she does not consider herself to be intelligent and is the last to understand things, causing her to be self-conscious. Despite this, she is hard-working and ambitious in the ways of her training to become a Lapis Lazuline. While she failed to become the Third, Ranyi thinks that means she just has to become the Fourth.

As a result of her low self-esteem, Ranyi reveres those who have what she perceives she lacks: beauty, intelligence, and/or charisma. She greatly admires Lapis Lazuline II, to the point of mimicing her manner of speech, and often ponders what she would do in her situation. She also practically worships her master, Old Blue, blinding her to the fact that the latter is merely using her. Similarly, Ranyi was quickly charmed by Princess Lightning, going along with her antics even if it detracts from her mission. Ranyi's fellow Lazuline candidates, somewhat look down on her because of how easily swayed she is.

## Magic

***Can connect one door to another.***

Ranyi can connect an entrance and an exit as long as there are two holes or gaps. She is able to pass through it as if it was a teleporter. Anything that has a gap is considered a door to her, such as two fallen trees leaning against each other.

When pushed to her full potential, Ranyi is capable of creating a connected door to somewhere she is not physically present. Other people can also pass through said door, as shown when Old Blue and her subordinates arrived at Umemizaki through a door Ranyi had connected.

## Relationships

### Princess Lightning

Ranyi and Princess Lightning are in the same group. They both work for the First Lapis Lazuline.

In *White,* when Princess Lightning comes to visit her in the hospital along with Diko Narakunoin, bringing a huge bin of pudding with her. Ranyi feels confused and somewhat intimidated by her presence, as Princess Lightning had never really regarded her before. She thought that Princess Lightning eating all of the pudding she initially brought as a “get-well” gift for Ranyi before Ranyi herself could eat any was surprising, but charming too.

Ranyi is constantly in awe of Princess Lightning’s beauty, seeming to admire her in that regard.

### Diko Narakunoin

Ranyi and Diko Narakunoin are in the same class group. Together, Ranyi and Diko Narakunoin are The First Lapis Lazuline's apprentices.

### Pshuke Prains

Ranyi and Pshuke Prains are in the same class group.

### Sally Raven

Ranyi and Sally Raven are in the same class group.

### The First Lapis Lazuline

Ranyi is the First Lapis Lazuline's apprentice. She is the Lazuline candidate that looks up to the First Lapis Lazuline more than any of the known others, described to idolize her like a God. She desperately wishes for the First Lapis Lazuline’s approval, something that everyone including the First herself are aware of. The other Lazuline candidates, particularly Love Lulu and Diko Narakunoin, somewhat look down on Ranyi because of this, able to see the true, cruel nature of their Master.

When Ranyi is attacked and fatally wounded during the attack on Umemizaki before the festival, the First Lapis Lazuline appears before Ranyi, telling her that she was glad to have Ranyi as her apprentice, knowing that Ranyi was about to pass away. Shedding tears with a smile, Ranyi died with her Master’s approval as her final memory.
