Hikari Tebiki

## Debut

Part Three, Chapter Seventeen

**Hikari Tebiki** is a major supporting character of the Eyes Like Rubies series. She is a priestess, the daughter of Luna Tebiki and Shosuke Noahiro, and the older half-sister of Himari Maeda.

## Appearance

Hikari is a woman with a tall, shapely physique and a light brown complexion. She has upturned almond-shaped eyes with notably long top eyelashes that point downwards, flare out at the ends, and long bottom eyelashes. Her eyes are empty, being a dull, deep plum-violet color and lacking visible pupils, thus emphasizing her inability to feel and process emotions. Her eyebrows are thin with a subtle arch. She has full lips with a prominent, defined Cupid’s bow, and holds a nearly identical appearance to Mujōna Kibutsuji.

She has straight, jet black knee-length hair that curls inward at the ends in its natural state. Her hair is typically styled in a long, low ponytail tied with a white ribbon. She has two curled, layered chin-length bangs on either side of her face, bangs hanging above over her forehead, and two long clumps over her shoulders that are inwardly curled at the ends.

Hikari wears an outfit that resembles traditional miko attire, consisting of a pair of red hakama pants, precisely a nagabakama, over a white furisode with long, flowing sleeves and a red embroidered diamond pattern along the hems. She wears a pair of black-soled zori with white tabi socks, and a red obi tied into a bow around her waist. Sometime after joining the alliance with the Pairons, she adds a white lace-up corset to her outfit. During and after her time under Sakonji's tutelage, she wears a white warding mask that was hand-carved by Sakonji himself. It takes the shape of a fox's face and has two chrysanthemum flowers, one purple and pink, and the other red and orange, with cream white centers painted on its left-hand side.

## Personality

Hikari is a woman that displays an empty, blank demeanor. The only other emotions she exhibits are sadness and frustration. Her dullness and inexpressive behavior is unsettling, but her beauty makes up for it.

### Supernatural Abilities

* **Healing:** Due to being affiliated to the Tebiki clan, Hikari possesses the gift of healing all living things. She is shown to heal others with her hands, such as when she helped Ryōsei Oshiro at the Butterfly Mansion, but her powers are limited, as she wasn’t able to heal him completely and quickly ran out of strength.
* **Purification:** Hikari’s healing ability gave her access to the art of purifying spiritually corrupted things. With an ample amount of spiritual energy and concentration, she is able to eliminate the corruption within all entities and restore them to their original condition.
* **Glyph Conjuring:** Hikari possesses the ability to use her spiritual energy to conjure glyphs of various weapons. This allows her to make weapons generated from different energies and auras materialize and assist her in battle.
