Kirika Akatsuki

Kirika is another one of the mysterious Symphogear users. Although she has a very straightforward, cheerful, and cooperative personality, she harbors a shadowy past as one of the "Receptor Children" who was treated as an observation subject at a certain research facility along with Maria, Serena, Shirabe and others. The bonds between Kirika and her friends are so strong that she feels no fear from fighting against the entire world.

She cares very much for her teammates and is willing to do whatever it takes to save humanity. Her relationship with Shirabe in particular borders on the romantic, and she is extremely protective of her. After falsely coming to believe that she is the reincarnation of Finé, Kirika became increasingly unhinged out of panic at the loss of her identity, to the extent that she's driven to attempt suicide when she realized her mistake. She uses "death" (デス desu) as her catchphrase.
