The pint-sized, but [[Plucky Girl|hard willed]] [[Redheaded Hero|Red Headed Heroine]]. Hikaru is [[Genki Girl|cheery and excitable]], but [[Wise Beyond Their Years|surprisingly shows a lot of wisdom and is probably the most mature of the team]]. She gets chosen as the Magic Knight of [[Playing ~~With~~ Fire|Fire]] and her Rune God is [[Big Badass Wolf|Rayearth]]. Of the three girls, she is the one who embraces the mantle of Magic Knight the most eagerly and is usually the first person to wade into their battles with the creatures of Cephiro and Zagato's servants.

{{spoiler|She is the one who is most crushed when she killed Emeraude, leaving a lot of guilt that forms up into a being called [[Enemy Without|Nova]] in the anime. She later gets picked as the new Pillar of Cephiro, thereby granting her [[A God Am I|godlike]] [[Fisher King|power]], but relinquishes it immediately so the power of the land can belong to the people living there.}}

* [[Cutesy Dwarf]]: But don't tell him that.

* [[Licked By the Dog]]: Mokona takes to him straight away. It's double-subverted--Umi and Fuu warn Hikaru that this alone isn't a good indicator of Ferio's character, but he does turn out to be a good guy. {{spoiler|And it's really more of Licked By The God.}}

Line 239:

* {{spoiler|[[Died Happily Ever After]] : At the end of season 1, she is finally with Zagato, happily forever and ever.}}

* [[Distressed Damsel]]: {{spoiler|Subverted. She entered the dungeon she's "imprisoned" in by herself. Zagato is there because of his love for her; they spend most of their time trying to persuade the other to stop what they're doing.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Death By Adaptation]]: In the anime, he's killed by Debonair.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Death by Adaptation]]: In the anime, he's killed by Debonair.}}

* [[Friendly Enemy]]: He's polite to the Magic Knights, as well as the representatives of Fahren and Chizeta, and bears them no ill-will even while they're battling each other. It's even more apparent in the anime, when Hikaru spends some time in Autozam's ship.

* [[Ill Boy]]: Due to his [[Power At a Price|overuse]] of Autozam's technology, which is powered by mental energy.

Line 375:

* [[Kikuko Inoue]]: Tatra.

* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: Tatra spends most of her time acting spacey and drinking tea, {{spoiler|until Umi bests Tarta in a duel in the anime}}.

* [[Stripperiffic]]: Tarta. Later Tatra, when she fights {{spoiler|Umi}}.

* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: And how.

Line 424:

The villain of part one. Zagato abducted Princess Emeraude, stopping her prayers for Cephiro and plunging the land into chaos. Although he keeps her locked in the Water Dungeon and sends out his servants to stop the Magic Knights, he doesn't seem to have any interest in actually ruling.

{{spoiler|This is because he didn't kidnap Emeraude at all--he's deeply in love with her and is trying to stop her from committing [[Suicide By Cop]] by killing the Magic Knights before they get there. Ultimately, all of his efforts fail and he dies in battle against them.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Spared by the Adaptation]]: Zagato rejects her in the anime, but she still survives, and she reappears for season 2.}}

* [[Starter Villain]]: Subverted. She's the first person the Magic Knights face, but she's ''way'' too powerful for them to handle because (according to Fuu) they don't have enough "experience points."

* [[Stripperiffic]]

Line 509:

* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: She's in it for the money, and {{spoiler|quite happy to leave the Magic Knights alone when Fuu defeats her, since she was only obligated to ''try'' and stop them}}.

* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]: A rare villainous example.

* [[Stalker ~~With~~ a Crush]]

* [[Stalker with a Crush]]

* [[Yandere]]: {{spoiler|She wants Hikaru ''all to herself'' and won't hesitate to kill her friends in order to eliminate all competition.}}

Line 550:

* {{spoiler|[[Abusive Parents]]: She adopted Nova and calls her daughter, but abandons her late in the story.}}

* [[As Long As There Is Evil]]: Claims that she will never truly die {{spoiler|because she came from the fears of Cephiro's people. A reasonable assumption until Hikaru decides to reshape the Pillar System.}}

* [[As Long as There Is Evil]]: Claims that she will never truly die {{spoiler|because she came from the fears of Cephiro's people. A reasonable assumption until Hikaru decides to reshape the Pillar System.}}

* [[Big Bad]]: Of season two in the anime.

* [[Canon Foreigner]]: She only appears in the anime. In the manga, Cephiro is crumbling away quite capably on its own.
