## Appearance

Kiyoharu Suirenji is a fair-skinned crossdresser with a slim build, short blonde hair topped by a pink or red ribbon and light blue eyes. Her most common outfit is her school uniform, which consists of a short-sleeved shirt with a bow, a flax-coloured plaid skirt, long white stockings, and black shoes. Throughout the series, she is also seen wearing a cyan swimsuit which consists of a a skirt and a bikini top and casual clothes.

When using her stick, the tips of her hair change to pink-purple and blood flows down from her scalp and down to her forehead.

## Personality

Kiyoharu is an otokonoko who has a very sweet and sociable nature, she loves acting as a girl, and is proud of her cuteness (as seen in chapter 23). She is oftentimes very upbeat, cheerful and quite bubbly, and genuinely cares for her companions and those around her. Especially Kosame Amagai, a close companion of her which she cares for a lot, so worried that she called Kosame and reminded her to take medicine when needed at the end of episode 5 of the anime. Kiyoharu is also shown to be a huge fan of Dog's Play and gets very ecstatic when she meets Nijimi Anazawa for the first time.

Beneath Kiyoharu's sweet and sociable nature is somebody of a gloomy and conniving nature, who plans to ruin those who have bullied her. She speaks to Kosame Amagai in private that she is planning to enact vengeance to her bullies only after they had found happiness in life, just so that she could feel the satisfaction of "throwing them from paradise into hell." She has repeatedly shown a strong sense of justice and love for his friends. She has a loving and trusting relationship with her mother, collapsing in despair when she sensed her death. Her mother was the first person she confessed to about her desire to be a girl.

Kiyoharu is also one of the most cunning and devious of the Magical Girls, nonchalantly using her stick's power to listen to the thoughts of others without their knowledge for his benefit. When she shook hands with Aya Asagiri, Nijimi Anazawa and Tsuyuno Yatsumura, she took the opportunity to have a closer look into their minds and see how many lifespans they have left to confirm their possible uses in their battle. Later, she schemed to posses Asahi in order to get rid of Kaname Asagiri without telling the rest of her friends first.

## History

Although she presents herself as a girl, her male classmates spread gossip of she's dressed as a girl through the school, and harass and physically abuse her for her gender expression.

Her stick takes the form of a ring. It allows her to connect and communicate with other's minds, regardless of distance. She uses this to communicate with other magical girls and check whether or not someone is still alive.

The fact that she became a magical girl suggests anyone can become a magical girl regardless of gender identity.
