He has two past lives, the first being a Shirogane named Flaga, whom was in love with Satsuki's past life Sarasha despite being her brother, and the second being a Kuroma named Shu Saura, whom was in a relationship with Shizuno's past life. Due to having memories of both lives, he is known as an Ancient Dragon and is both a Shirogane and a Kuroma. His sword is a "Saratiga" which is a straight katana while as a Kuroma his dark art is the "Black Gehenna" that he infuses into his sword to maximize its destructive capability called the "Yin Yang Kurikara."

She is a boisterous girl whom is very boastful and brash. She is classmates with Moroha and Shizuno. In her past life she was a princess named Sarasha. Also in her past life she was in an incestuous relationship with her older brother Flaga, who is Moroha in his past life, which is taboo; in their present time they aren't related by blood where she can now make him fall in love with her over again. She and her family often move from place to place in order to avoid attacks from metaphysicals, which makes it hard for her to make friends, which is made worse by her condescending attitude towards everyone excluding Moroha. Despite her attitude she doesn't hesitate to help others, even when she is in a disadvantage. As a Savior, she is a Shirogane who uses light skills that materializes into a short sword called "Acieal" that she uses to combat metaphysicals. It is suggested that she is capable of detecting an incoming metaphysical.

In her past life, she was in a relationship with Shu Saura, Moroha's other past life. She is brazen with her feelings towards Moroha to the point that she doesn't mind kissing him in public, especially in front of Satsuki. Her elder brother is the president of the school, and was the one who nominated her to be a member of the Strikers, which are a group of high ranking students that fight Metaphysicals, where she serves as a reserve. She was born into an affluent family of utmost influence; however belonging to such a family proves to be burdensome for her, where the expectations are high which makes her feel shackled, her only way of escape is by sleeping and dreaming about her past life with Shu Saura. Like Satsuki, she too has feelings for Moroha, and because of it, they despise each other, almost rivaling for his affection, though occasionally the two would have a truce, and do get along.
