Unlike Kirari and Yuzuki, Honoka has a red diamond on her shoulder pads as well as a red diamond to the bottom center of her game controller like breast plate.

In the style of anime and manga, she has red hair and red eyes with hints of blue.

#### As Pippii

Pippii is a yellow duck with red wings. Like the others, Pippi has blue eyes with game console like designs. On her head is a yellow heart and on her neck is a red ribbon with a red diamond in the center.

### Personality

As Pippii, she often gets fired up with a variety of things and says "it's shine is firing up ~ppii". As Honoka, this trait remains this same. As a fairy, when necessary, she would peck at others though, it never really hurt.

Honoka's personality is the polar opposite of Koyuki's. Honoka is passionate, excitable, strong-willed, and rather impatient. She sometimes acts before thinking what will happen. Honoka likes sports and martial arts, and even try to join the club based on the said interests. She is also protective of her friends, particularly Himenyan, even if it means risking her life.

### Relationships

* Princess - The Princess is her superior but is also one of her closest friends.
* Hamurii/Koyuki Aoba - Along with Hamurii, they are assistants and friends to the princess. Hamurii and Pippii are close friends, or maybe best friends, and are almost never seen being apart. Even after they become humans, they remain close, but in some occasions, they have a disagreement because of their personalities being clashed. After a short fight, they reconcile afterwards.

### Etymology

Pippii (**ぴっぴぃ**) is derived from ピーピー (*pīpī*) or ぴよぴよ (*piyopiyo*), both onomatopeia that mean 'chirp-chirp' or 'tweet-tweet', a sound of what do the birds say (her original form).

Honoka (**ホノカ**) is an amalgam between a given name ほのか and the Japanese words 炎 or 焰 (*honō*) meaning 'flame' and 火 (*ka*) meaning 'fire'. Both are related to her power as a Kirapawa.

Akahoshi (**赤星**) means the "Red Star", with 赤 (*red* as her theme color ) and 星 (*star*).

**Kirapawa Fine** is a corruption of an English word *fire*, a state, process, or instance of combustion in which fuel or other material is ignited and combined with oxygen, giving off light, heat, and flame.

## History

Honoka was originally in the form a chick-like fairy named "Pippii", friend and attendant of the Princess, before transforming into her human form to save Kirari and Yuzuki.

## Synopsis

### Becoming a Human and Kirapawa

Pippii and Hamurii watch alongside Himenyan and Kirapawa Sunny and Kirapawa Moon try to defeat the Dark Knight, a powered up version of Makkurakurasuke, after trying to obtain the Metamor Memory. However, the two are unable to defeat them. Without a hint of hesitation, Pippii and Hamurii attempt to defeat the Dark Knight themselves though evidently not enough. Himenyan senses something familiar about them and heads to the Metamor Memory herself. She hands them the memory ultimately allowing them to transform into humans. Pippii thus becomes Honoka Akahoshi, this form then allowing her to transform into Kirapawa Fine, the Battle Master of Flames. Along with Koyuki, they then attend the same middle school, Kiraboshi Middle School, with Yuzuki.

### Getting Kidnapped

Honoka disguised herself as Princess, duping Makkulala.
