Hikari Nire (仁礼 光, Nire Hikari ?) is the Operator of Kageura Squad.
Appearance[edit | edit source]

Nire is a light-skinned, slender young woman with magenta eyes and chest-length auburn hair that is tied into a ponytail with a pink scrunchie to the left side of her head, with the rest of the hair loose. She has moderately prominent canines.[9] When off duty, comfort appears to be the main factor in her clothing style. She has been seen lazing around her squad's strategy room in a light pink t-shirt under a black track jacket with pink outlines and two thin stripes on the sides of the sleeves, alongside a matching pair of pants.[10] To hang out at Kageura's restaurant she donned a stylish track sweater and light-colored shorts.[11]
In her Trion Body she wears the standard Operator uniform with the addition of her signature scrunchie.
Personality[edit | edit source]
Nire comes across as a very carefree person, bordering on lazy.[10] She spends much of her time at Border under her Kotatsu[12], and if someone other than her teammates is brought to the strategy room, she will invite them to join her.[1] She is very energetic and cheerful in other social situations,[9] in sharp contrast to her demeanor during Rank Wars.[2][13][14][15][16] Like Kitazoe, she is more concerned about the squad's ranking than Kageura or Ema, which may cause her to clash, albeit very light-heartedly, with her teammates[14][16]; neglecting their safety for the sake of scoring more points.[17] Even so, she is one to complain about her workload when carrying out standard Operator duties, claiming that her teammates would be lost without her.[2][18][19] Her younger brother being very independent has led Nire to look for others to fawn over[12], so she may on occasion behave like an impish older sister with Ema in particular, expressing shock when he invited Chika Amatori and Izuho Natsume over to their strategy room[20] and subsequently spying on them.[21]
