Lexus is the name of the Mashin, or Rune God, that serves Hikaru Shidou in the anime Rayearth Special Edition -Wings of Hope-. In this OVA, Lexus is depicted as a lion with a mane of fire, a visual departure from the horned wolf form of the original series. As a Mashin, Lexus is a divine guardian beast that bonds with Hikaru through a psychic link, allowing them to communicate telepathically and fight in unison. Its role is to amplify Hikaru's fire magic and transform into a giant armored warrior that she pilots during battles. Lexus is awakened after Hikaru proves her resolve as a Magic Knight and becomes her primary ally in the fight to protect the world of Cephiro. The bond between Lexus and Hikaru grows as she gains confidence and mastery over her powers, though the Mashin itself does not exhibit an independent personality beyond its fierce loyalty and elemental nature. Lexus's notable abilities are rooted in fire, including the use of blazing attacks and a colossal mecha form capable of massive destruction. It exists alongside the other two Mashin, Selece and Windam, each tied to a different Magic Knight, forming a trio of Rune Gods essential to the story's conflict.
