## Biography

### Appearance

Hikari is a short girl and wears her long black hair in a half ponytail half up with side ponytail, tied to the right with a grey hair tie almost all the time.

Her casual outfits always consist of laid-back, cool-colored, and casual outfits that seem to be inspired by American fashion, mostly with the color of grey, blue, and anything cool. Noticing by her style, Hikari prefers being comfortable rather than visually appealing.

For her activities as KariKari, she wore a white shirt with the black words 'NO DAYS OFF' on it. She also wore a jacket that was blue and had sparkly sequins all over, with the exception of a few yellow ones to spell out a word. Hikari wears a silver skirt with black laces and there are also stars on it.

When performing as an idol, Hikari's hair is tied up the same, but there are little braids done in her hair, in the color of silver. Instead of a plain hairband, Akari uses a silver ribbon. Her idol outfit is mainly silver and sleeveless. Her top is silver but mostly covered by the pattern, in the colors black, pink, and white. There is a silver belt, with her Miracle Tact sitting in a case that matches the belt. Her skirt has the same pattern as the top and covers the entire skirt, other than the bottom which is seen to have silver frills. She wears white and silver shoes as high as her ankles. She has silver nail polish.

Her second idol outfit is mainly white with colorful spots on the outfit. She has grey laces and short grey sleeves. Her hair and shoes remain the same.

As an Idol Warrior, her hair is the same, only with silver highlights. She wears a silver bow with a treble clef in the middle. She wears a silver headset that looks like a microphone for performing. She has colorful eye makeup which consists of stars and music notes. Her outfit is white-based, with a silver shoulder pad and a big silver circle in the middle, and another circle near her hip., with a music note on it. Her skirt is white and above her shorts is a thicker silver outer layer with a music stave. She wears white knee-high socks with silver piano keys on the sides and she wears fingerless gloves. Her shoes are white with golden outlines.

Her Final Mode outfit consists of a white attire quite similar to her normal transformation outfit but instead lacks silver and the skirt has colorful treble clefs on it. Her shoes are also different, becoming white knee-high lace boots. Her headset and ribbons have also become white, and the silver streaks in her hair have increased, becoming a darker color, grey.

In the style of anime and manga, she has cobalt blue hair and eyes and a lighter shade of cobalt blue highlights. She does not have eye makeup nor silver piano keys on her socks. However, in the manga, everything else remains the same as that of the anime. This time, she has piano keys on her socks, light blue hair, and eyes, and has eye makeup.

### Personality

A girl who works with a lot of ambition, she has a very professional attitude when it comes to working. She works hard in everything she does and will not falter. However, when she is at home, she prefers to relax which sometimes shocks the girls. Due to her being someone who uses her emotions rather than her head, she doesn’t think things through and will mostly do things she feels compelled to do without thinking of the situation in the long run, although she is less aggressive than her older sister.

When Hikari felt the need to search for the super negative jeweler by herself, she rushed off despite Sopra telling her that she should best return to the other girls. However, she sees the bigger picture and doesn’t think of what she’s gonna do when she actually encounters it, especially because Miracle Tunes fight together rather than separately. She takes her job as an idol and warrior seriously, never straying from her tasks and will see it through until the very end.

Because Hikari is terrible at appearing in front of people, she makes sure to relax as much as she can according to Akari.

Akari then tells the truth about how they had been watching their last battle, and even when they transformed. The Goddess of Music suddenly appears, telling Alm and Sopra to go to the girls. As Mai tells the sisters to leave, Akari refuses, saying that they won't let the stage be empty, and agree to fight for the girls as they perform. Having no other option, Miracle2 performs as KariKari rush outside to fight the Negative Jewelers. Alm and Sopra appear, handing the sisters their transformation item, and they transformed for the very first time.

As the performance ends, Miracle2 immediately rush out to fight, only to find KariKari transformed. Kanon exclaims her happiness, and Mai hurries them back to the stage.
