Summary
Ao Hoshizaki is the main protagonist of Blue Reflection: Second Light. She initially lives a dull and ordinary life, until one fateful summer day, where she gets transported to the mysterious Oasis upon receiving a mysterious text message and becomes a Reflector. From there, she meets Kokoro, Rena, and Yuki, who are Reflectors without their memories. Thus, she leads the Reflectors on a journey to venture out into Heartscapes, worlds formed by a Reflector's memories, in order to uncover the truth behind why the Reflectors were sent to Oasis.
Powers and Stats
Tier: At least 4-A, likely Low 2-C, higher with Resonance | 2-C, higher with Resonance
Key: Early Game | Endgame
Name: Ao Hoshizaki
Origin: Blue Reflection
Gender: Female
Age: Unknown, should be around 15 to 17 years old as she is still in high school
Classification: Reflector
Powers and Abilities:
- Transformation
- Superhuman Physical Characteristics
- Magic (Can cast offensive and support magic using Ether)
- Empowerment (Can become stronger by resonating with her fellow Reflectors. Reflectors primarily gain strength from their emotions as well)
- Weapon Mastery
- Ether Manipulation (Can manipulate Ether, which is emotional energy)
- Flight (All Reflectors should possess the ability to fly, although Ao rarely uses it in comparison to Hinako and Hiori)
- Darkness Manipulation
- Electricity Manipulation
- Forcefield Creation and Damage Reduction (via Regn skills)
- Statistics Amplification (Can boost her attack, defense, and Ether recovery speed via various passive Talent skills)
- Damage Boost (Can boost damage dealt to enemies via various passive Talent skills)
- Resistance Negation (Can lower enemy resistance to Shock attacks via Hávamál skills and lower enemy resistance to Slash attacks via Ypperste Sverð)
- Absorption (via Gyldan skills, which can recover a portion of the damage dealt to enemies as health)
- Healing (via Healing Amour)
- Resurrection (via Persistent Éveil)
- Status Effect Inducement (via Proud Naissance, which can inflict Paralysis)
- Empathic Manipulation (As a Reflector, Ao should be able to stabilize rampant Fragments, which occur when a person's emotions become unstable. Stabilizing a Fragment in turn would stabilize said person's emotions)
- Time Stop (Reflectors can move in stopped time in the presence of a Sephira or during a Leap Range)
- Empathic Manipulation (As a Reflector, she should have the same level of resistance as Hiori, who was unaffected by Shino's emotional erasure in Ray when she was merging the Common and the real world)
- Status Effect Inducement (Can resist being inflicted with Paralysis, Poison, Blind, Slow, Curse (which negates healing), and Bleed)
- Fusionism and Absorption (As a Reflector, she should have the same level of resistance as Hinako, who was unaffected by Daath's assimilation of mankind into a unified consciousness while the non-Reflector humans were getting absorbed, Reflector Rings cannot be forcibly removed or stolen as well)
Attack Potency: At least Multi-Solar System level, likely Universe level+ (A Reflector's Fragment is powerful enough to create and sustain a Heartscape, worlds/pocket dimensions that contain their own Sun and starry skies. Should be somewhat comparable to Yuzu and Lime, whose Heartscape is a recreation of the Common, a dimension of infinite size. Lime alone can sustain Oasis' existence with her power), higher with Resonance (Reflectors become stronger when resonating with each other) | Low Multiverse level (Defeated the World System, who destroyed the universe and the Common by proxy, as the exterior of Oasis shows that the universe has been reduced to nothingness. Said entity was stated by Ao to be attempting to annihilate all of existence, which would include Oasis. Oasis is a separate reality that connects ten Heartscapes, and acts as a safe haven in the middle of nothingness. Should be superior to endgame BR1 Hinako who defeated Daath, the embodiment of the Common. She should also scale above End of Ray Hiori, who fought against Final Form Shino.[1] Final Form Shino had full control over the Common and was merging it and the real world together[2]), higher with Resonance (Easily overpowered the World System after resonating with her fellow Reflectors, who were all previously struggling against it together)
Speed: Unknown | Unknown
Lifting Strength: Unknown | Unknown
Striking Strength: Multi-Solar System level, likely Universe level+, higher with Resonance | Low Multiverse level, higher with Resonance
Durability: At least Multi-Solar System level, likely Universe level+ (Should be comparable to her Attack Potency), higher with Resonance | Low Multiverse level (Can take hits from the World System. Should scale above endgame BR1 Hinako and End of Ray Hiori), higher with Resonance
Stamina: Superhuman (Can fight for extended periods of time before getting exhausted)
Range: Extended Melee Range with scythe, Tens of Meters with magic
Standard Equipment: Her Reflector Ring (required to transform into a Reflector) and her scythe. Her Reflector Ring cannot be forcibly removed by someone else. Ray shows that Reflector Rings can only be removed if the Reflector takes it off themselves.
Intelligence: Average (Is shown to be mostly average in typical school subjects such as mathematics and history. Despite not being the smartest Reflector, Ao has been shown to come up with rather brilliant ideas, such as her idea to reach Origin and recreate the world without the Ash)
Weaknesses: Reflectors cannot transform if they do not have their Reflector Ring equipped, if there is a lack of Ether in their surroundings, or if their emotions are unstable. If the thread between her heart and Fragment is severed, she will fall into a coma and may never wake up. If her Fragment is destroyed, she will die as well.
- Defeated the World System after resonating with her fellow Reflectors. Prior to this, the Reflectors as a whole were shown to be struggling against the World System during the final battle, which includes Reflectors such as Hinako and Hiori.
- Recreated the universe using Origin (although, this isn't combat applicable as Origin is a separate entity)
- Broke out of a time loop and was able to live on in the new universe she had created.
