HIMEKAWA YOSHINO

Yoshino Himekawa (氷ひ芽め川かわ 四よ糸し乃の) is the second Spirit saved by Shido. She always carries a hand puppet named Yoshinon ( よしのん), which she values as her hero.

When Yoshino first appeared in the series, she encountered Shido while it was raining. From his perspective, Yoshino seemed to be a lost child wandering around in the rain. The next time they met, Yoshino fell under attack from the AST and ran away. During the third time, Shido made the decision to save Yoshino from herself and the AST. This decision was because he discovered that Yoshino was an incredibly kind child who didn’t want to hurt even the people who were attacking her.

After having most of her power sealed by Shido, Yoshino started living in one of Ratatoskr’s living quarters on Fraxinus temporarily before she moved down to the apartment complex next to Shido’s home. Yoshino is currently practicing, with the help of Ratatoskr, how to speak for herself, or to be more precise, how to talk without the aid of Yoshinon.

Zadkiel & Shiryon

Her Angel, Zadkiel, is a huge puppet about three meters in length that resembles Yoshinon. In anime, Zadkiel has two forms. The first form resembles Yoshinon but is a lot bigger, with one red round eye and an eyepatch, large sharp teeth, and white skin. Zadkiel has the ability to absorb water from the ground and air and release it in the form of freezing air that acts similar to liquid nitrogen.

Yoshino’s Astral Dress is also deceptively durable despite its appearance. It is capable of enduring gunfire from AST that would otherwise be fatal. Shido also notices that her Astral Dress doesn’t seem to get wet as normal clothing does during the rain, something which he theorizes is due to a special property of an Astral Dress.

Wizard

Since Spirits served as the foundation for the creation of the Realizer, Yoshino is compatible with the Realizer and can use it to generate a Territory just like the other former Spirit girls. In order to do so, Yoshino uses a wireless headset to manually operates a leaf.

When using Shiryon, Yoshino fuses with Zadkiel, gaining an ice armor over her Astral Dress. Her powers over water and ice increased to the point where the surrounding area becomes frozen. Shido remarked that she looked like she was wearing Zadkiel. Usually, her hands in this form are equipped with mittens, but for combat purposes she can switch to large gauntlets that contain icicle claws.
