**Byakuran Amano***(天野白蘭; Amano Byakuran)* is the protagonist of the story **DxD: BlaZe**. A second-year student of Kuoh Academy, Byakuran fell in love with two of the idols of his School, Sonia Astar and Kyubi Hyoudou, however never had the courage to confess to them.

One day, noticing the strange behavior of one of them and following them around Kuoh Town, Byakuran Discovered both that both were actually supernatural creatures and his Sacred Gear, **Twice Critical**. Being saved by both his crush and unable to have his memories erased, he swore to become strong enough to serve as their bodyguard and help Sonia become a high-class devil, and forming the Astar team in the process.

## Appearance

Byakuran is a skinny, yet oddly athletically-built young man of black hair tied into a pony tail, hollow white eyes and fair skin. He is slightly above average height, topping an teenager Sonia for a few inches. After 'saving' Kyubi from a stray devil, he has a X-shaped scar on his chest, where Evelyn used her own flesh to mend him. According to Kuroyume and Byakuran, he also has poor vision from his father's abuse, but refuses to get glasses.

Being a student of Kuoh academy, he wears the typical uniform of white lined shirt, black blazer and pants and black ribbon, beneath a black shirt. He has a small sword-like pendant as a necklace.

He also has bandages around his arms, caused by abuse from his father.

## Personality

   Byakuran is a soft-spoken, kind-hearted and polite young man of altruistic intentions and easy-going approach, however being also quite shy and indecisive to the point of emotional alienation.

However, Byakuran can become courageous and determinated when pushed to a corner or when his loved ones, or anybody for that matter, is threatened. It is later revealed that due to constant use of Mysteltainn, Byakuran has adopted several different personality traits, the most present of which being a extremely dark and murderous side, which also happened to lead to his first Juggernaut drive activation and transformation into a Light Eater.

Byakuran still maintains a rather innocent outlook at sex and other kinks, despite having sexual relationships with at least 6 women, and just like his counterparts Zenjirou and Nero Gladius, can get midly annoyed when seen as nothing but a "boytoy".

Byakuran is actually quite a homely person who likes doing chores and cooking. When translated, he uses the polite 'Boku' (僕) to refer to himself, and for others, he uses the suffix '-dono(殿)', both extremely polite prefixes.

## History

Byakuran is the second child and older sister of a normal family, being the younger brother of Kuroyume Amano and the older brother Joshima Amano. Growing up, the siblings were violently abused by their father, causing Kuroyume and Byakuran to have several bandages around their bodies, even to this day, from protecting Joshima, despite which, instead Byakuran would admire his older sister Kuroyume, which was a genius at the time exceeding both academics and sports. One day, however upon witnessing his father's actions against their mother, Byakuran attacked him, causing in Byakuran's eye color to change from green to pure white from his father's counter. After this attack, their mother put the siblings up for adoption to hopefully save them from their abusive father

He also developed a better resistance against magical attacks and a harder skin against blows or cuts. However, in return, his body is now vulnerable against dragon-slaying weapons and magic.

**Light Eater -** By devouring the flesh of the fallen angel Batriel, Byakuran awakened his status as a Light eater. Like other Light eaters, he's immune to hypnosis and enchants of demonic or angelic nature, and has a special immunity against holy objects.
