Keepers of Rainbows

The **Keepers of Rainbows** (虹の守衛?) are little ghost like creatures that reside inside the Prism Brilliants and are known to hold the power of the eight rainbows. Each keeper has their own powers and their own theme color. The Keepers of Rainbows are sometimes referred as **Bijoushas** (ビジュシャー?). Each Guardian Angel takes care for their own Bijousha. Even though the origin of the Keepers in unknown, some say they originally came from Skyriver, the Country of Rainbows and the origin of the Prism Brilliants.

While at the beginning of *Guardian Angels Of The Sky* only six Bijoushas have awaken, by the events of *Guardian Angels Of The Stars*, all eight Bijoushas have bonded with their respective partner.
