Yukina Himeragi

Yukina Himeragi is one of the main characters from the Strike the Blood anime and light novels.

An Attack Mage of the Lion King Organization, Yukina was sent to observe Kojou and in the event that he proved himself hostile, assassinate him. This quickly goes out of the window as she develops feelings for him.

In the AWA fics, Yukina is listed as a purchased prisoner from the Slave Fortress.

Appearance
Yukina has the appearance of a beautiful young middle-school girl. She has been quoted often times as extremely cute, that even older male students were interested with her upon seeing her picture for the first time. She was even called the princess of their class and has been begged by all of her male classmates to be their cheerleader in order to win their games. She is often wearing the Saikai Academy school uniform. She has golden-brown eyes and shoulder length black hair with a fringe around the eyes and bangs either side of her face. She also carries around a guitar case around on her back wherein which she keeps her Schneewalzer.

Personality
Yukina's personality is accentuated by a peculiar naivety. She generally appears to be soft spoken, sweet and unassuming, but however, a far cry from being a damsel in distress as she is an extremely good fighter, both with hand to hand combat and with lance wielding. Since she was brought up in the Lion King Organization as a soldier, her views on the outside world are different like when she went shopping with Kojou, she thought a golf club was a weapon and a pressure cleaner was a flamethrower. She is also can be noted as quite a kind and caring person.

Her goal is to observe Kojou and defeat anyone who she deems a threat. She soon developed special feelings for Kojou which is often hinted through her facial expressions of how upset she is whenever Kojou becomes interested or makes the other girls his blood mate. She has a slight tsundere tendencies. Despite being jealous a couple of times whenever Kojou is around other girls, she never dwells bitterness and hatred towards the other girls Kojou had been interested in, and even on most occasions befriends them, as seen with her interactions with Kanon and Astarte. Yukina is also protective of the people close to her, even if they are capable of protecting themselves. When Kojou were to notice her reaction and asked her 'why' she tends to answer that 'she's his observer', it is apparently for to convince herself more than Kojou himself. She is a close friend of Nagisa and Kanon. She also adores cats.

Abilities
Shikigami Summoning: She can summon a Shikigami. A Shikigami can send messages or alert the summoner if anything happens.

Enchanted Meteoric Iron Knife (Anime): She used this enchanted knife against Amatsuka, when she protected Kanon from him.

Sekkarou: Or the Schneewalzer, the lance grants her support enchantments and it can also utilize divine vibration that can negate magic of any kind.However, due to her high affinity with the divine weapon, Yukina was on the verge of transcending to a being equivalent to a Faux Angel. Fortunately, thanks to the ring given to her by her mentor, her transformation into an angel has been halted.

Familliar Summoning: After Hektos, the sixth kaleid blood, choose Yukina as the inheiritor of her familliar, she gained the ability to summon Minelauva Iris.

Magic: Yukina, along with other orphan children who were trained by the Lion King Organization to utilize magic.

Divine Spirit Possession: Yukina is capable of summoning a divine spirit, basically a god, so it can possess her and give her an advantage in battle. With this she was able to defeat Natsuki's Rheingold guardian, which was a threat for Yukina and Kisaki moments before. The possesion is an extremely risky process because if she loses her concentration on the technique even for a moment, her ego may be eroded by the divine spirit, losing her individuality permanently. In her fight against Natsuki, she mentions that the reason why Yukina was chosen as Kojou's observer is probably because she can do this, which in turn means that the Lion King Organization wanted Kojou to have a mate with such an extremely rare and powerful ability (probably for the coming battle against Cain).
