Minamoto no Hikaru; Lady Hiraku; 'Lord Raikou'
Minamoto no Hikaru is a young girl that has been secretly assigned by her father to pose as her brother, Minamoto no Raikou due to Raikou being severely sick. In her sick brother's stead, she embarks on an incredible quest to retrieve the Magatamas of Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth through the orders of Seimei.
Hikaru learns of her brother’s death just before she returns with the first Magatama. She is greatly saddened by this, but is still determined to find the other Magatamas as to save the Capital.
Hikaru’s initial goal was to retrieve the Magatama of Earth in order to heal her weak, near-death brother. Hikaru begins the story with her trusted retainer Tsuna (Watanabe no Tsuna) in hopes of retrieving the Magatama. She later finds out that the Tsuchigumo clan is the holder of the Magatama.
Hikaru is quite the archer, and effectively wields her bow and arrow as her primary weapon when not using her katana (at which she also shows considerable skill!).
