Description
Misaki Hijiri is a main character in the anime Saint October. She is introduced as a mysterious and agile girl who initially appears on a personal mission, having witnessed her hometown being attacked. She soon befriends Kotono Hayama and Natsuki Shirafuji and joins them at the Kuroki detective agency, where the three girls work together to solve supernatural incidents. Misaki is a serious and somewhat reserved individual, with a boyish demeanor that makes her dislike being addressed with affectionate honorifics like "chan." Despite her outwardly stern attitude, she possesses a strong sense of justice and a protective nature toward her companions.
Her motivations are deeply tied to her past. Misaki experiences recurring visions of a town being burned down by a dragon's army, and in those visions, she sees her lover being killed during the attack. As the story progresses, it is revealed that these visions are memories from a past life that occurred hundreds of years ago. This past-life trauma drives her to fight against the forces seeking to bring about a Judgment Day, making her a resolute warrior against the nightmares that threaten both her present and the world.
In the group, Misaki acts as the third member of the Goth Loli Detective Agency, alongside Kotono and Natsuki. Her relationships with the other two girls deepen as they work together, and she becomes a loyal friend and ally. Her role in the story is that of the mysterious fighter who confronts the dark remnants of her previous existence while supporting her friends in their battles.
Misaki's notable ability is tied to her tarot card, Strength, which allows her to transform into the powered form known as Loli Red. In this form, she wields a bow and arrow as her primary weapon, using her agility and marksmanship to combat enemies. Her transformation and combat skills are central to the trio’s efforts to protect the city and uncover the truth behind the supernatural events unfolding around them. Throughout the series, Misaki develops from a solitary, mission-driven girl into a more open and trusting member of the team, while still grappling with the haunting echoes of her past life.
