Kira Daidouji is a playable character in the Arcana Heart series. She's a young genius with a PhD who is plotting for world domination. She is an associate of Mei Ling Hua and knows Mei-Fang pretty well. She also attended the same school with her friend and rival, Catherine Kyoubashi.

Her Arcana is Niptra, the Arcana of Water.

Bio

A genius who gained her PhD at the age of eleven. After she was sent back to Elementary School, Kira has become bitter with the world and plans to conquer it. The blob she controls is made of ether and can modify itself to suit whatever she may need.

Appearance

Kira is a fair-skinned young girl with golden eyes. Her hair is dark blue and worn in a loose bob with spiked bangs spread out above her eyes, along with a hair crest on the top of her head that resemble cat ears.

She is often seen with a confident smirk or grin and is always depicted in a navy-blue school swimsuit. But she can also be found in a towel or a white lab coat on occasion. 

Personality

Kira is a girl with a high opinion of herself and a low tolerance for anyone else. She possesses zero social skills and has become very arrogant and snide towards everyone else and the world after being sent back to school due to her age. To those she may respect or even consider friends, she can be grudgingly open and sincere at best, and to those she doesn't care for, she can display almost comical amounts of abuse and scorn.

She has a quick wit and a short temper, and has no problem gloating or mocking those who lose to her, along with boasting about her greatness. However, it is suspected that deep down she genuinely wants to have more friends or to be better liked by others.

Story

• Hey there, heart head! You're not hiding the celestial stones from me, are you? I think I should do a full body examination, just to make sure... (Heart Aino)
• I heard that I'd be able to find celestial stone ore here... So much for the rumor mill. You know, I'm getting the feeling that we're all being jerked around... (Saki Tsuzura)
• This incident, it's different from anything I've ever experienced before. I feel like we're all being mocked by powers unknown... It's really irritating the hell out of me. (Kamui Tokinomiya)
• God, this is the EXACT reason why I despise dogs so much! If you let me punch you in the face, say ten times or so... Then I might find it in my heart to forgive you! (Konoha)
• This time, my activities and my motives are my own! I have nothing to do with the Celestial Union! The celestial stones are for me and no one else! (Maori Kasuga)
• Although they seem to be merely rumor, the thought of the celestial stones have sufficiently piqued my curiosity. If any of you mental defectives have them, hand them over now! (Lilica Felchenerow)
• The only thing I despise more than the Celestial Union are the mental midgets stupid enough to support them. I hope you're prepared for the beating I'm about to give you. (Lieselotte Achenbach)

• You annoying little maid brat. Just your very existence really pisses me off. However, I can forgive your theft of oxygen if you just hand over the celestial stones. (Fiona Mayfield)
• You feeble-minded maid brat. Give me your damned celestial stone, now! Or would you rather I beat you into mulch and take it from you? (Fiona Mayfield with Celestial Stone)
• You extended Professor Hua an invitation to become a Celestial Advisor for Rosenberg, but not me?! I demand an explanation this very instant! (Petra Johanna Lagerkvist)
• Huh? What's this? It seems the Institute's pet angel is going to insist in getting in my way. I guess I can spare the time to play with you. Sure you're up to it? (Zenia Valov)
• Man, you guys have it good! You crush one of the most powerful organizations on Earth, take over the Academy, and siphon the Celestial Union's funding. Now give me my taxes back! (Elsa la Conti)
• Nothing disgusts me more than the sight of half-demon mongrels like you strutting around Japan like you belong here! You know, screw the stones! I'm going to rip out your spine! (Clarice de Lanza)
• To commemorate your move to Japan. I'd like to arrange a small celebration personally. Depending on how well you do, I might let you help me take over the world. (Dorothy Albright)
• Hey, magic nerd! Give me that celestial stone! Hold up there. You tried to hide it using your sad magic tricks, didn't you? How in the hell am I supposed to find it now? (Dorothy Albright with Celestial Stone)
• So you're in the midst of training, are you? So, that means you're willing to get hurt in the name of improvement? Awesome! I volunteer to beat some knowledge into you. (Akane Inuwaka)

• Oh, so you're the mewling infant with the ability to manipulate her rather...grotesque...doodles. Maybe if I observe how you fight, I'll figure out the trick behind it. (Eko)
• Hm... You look a lot different from the usual Drexler replicants. I mean, even your hair color is different. Did you dye it that shade of red? (Scharlachrot)
• You're one of those Drexler's replicants? Hmm......? You look different from the rumors...... What are you hiding? Show it to me! (Minori Amanohara)
• Put it in my hand. Now. Huh? What am I talking about? Your celestial stone, you drooling moron! What else would I be talking about?! (With Celestial Stone)

I neither need nor want your help. And "for great justice"?! Seriously...? ...Also, don't talk to me like I'm 11. (Heart Aino)

You're not very bright, are you? Of course I'm after the stones...idiot. Well, I guess I should keep looking. (Saki Tsuzura)

Drexler? Oh, they wanted me to join them, but I blew them off. They were just too damn weird... (Kamui Tokinomiya)

Friend? I have neither friends nor enemies. There's me...and everyone else. To explain that fact any other way would be pointless in the extreme. (Konoha)

Let me guess. You're talking about the rumors about how the celestial stones grant wishes. Don't tell me someone was moronic enough to actually believe that tripe?! (Maori Kasuga)

Oh please! My plans for domination are always in place. I don't need anyone's help for that, you twit! As for the stones, it seems that only I know their true value. (Lilica Felchenerow)

Really, I was going to ask you the same thing. Only my plan is to beat on you until you pass out and then take them from you. (Lieselotte Achenbach)

I require the celestial stones to further my studies. I'd explain it to you, but you know, "pearls before swine" and all of that.. (Yoriko Yasuzumi)

The odds of it being done are somewhere between "zero" and "no way in hell". I mean, don't you know anything about the ethereal and the corporeal? No wonder you're a lowly maid... (Fiona Mayfield)

The Drexler Institute? That collection of insignificant, sub-simian clowns?! I'll dismantle any of those idiots that dare to cross me! (Petra Johanna Lagerkvist)

Wow, I guess the whole blindness thing is true for girls as well. If I don't look like a respected scientist to you, then I guess you're either blind or a complete moron. (Zenia Valov)

And I should believe you, why? I'm here to obtain materials vital to my research. I have no intention of leaving here empty-handed. (Elsa la Conti)

Oh, don't worry about that. My research is such that it will always be a benefit to my well-being. As for benefitting others... Why would I give a damn about anyone else? (Clarice de Lanza)

The celestial stones are hard to find? What an insightful observation...idiot. I'll find them, no matter what! And when I do, I'll celebrate with a tall, frosty glass of milk! (Dorothy Albright)

Dear god, why me?! You want one so badly? Get the required materials and I'll make you one of your own. Granted, it'll be more or less impossible, but good luck... (Akane Inuwaka)

Where in the hell do you get off calling me a pervert?! You mangy mutt! Maybe a good, solid beating will teach you to show some respect for your betters. (Nazuna Inuwaka)

You can't be that dense. Let me guess, you think toilet paper and paper currency are the same too. Your inability to appreciate the value of things is pathetic, just like you. (Angelia Avallone)

Hell no! Are you a total moron, or just incredibly deluded? These things are incredibly rare! Any aspiring celestial scientist would kill to study them! (With Celestial Stone)

You actually defeated Mei-Fang... Color me impressed. Professor Hua was pissing and moaning about it, but don't worry about that. Anyway, I'm really curious about your fighting style, all things considered. So now we're going to go at it! (Mei-Fang Defeated)

Where in the hell do you get off abusing Cathy?! Only I'M allowed to do that! I'm going to teach you a lesson you'll never forget! Oh... Don't get me wrong. I'm not taking revenge for her or anything. Hey! Stop snickering! (Catherine Defeated)

You, take revenge on me?! Don't make me laugh. You're less than nothing, so shut your mouth!

How pathetic. Blabbering on about revenge when you have no intention of killing. You are a waste of my precious time.

Being weak and powerless should be capital offenses. However...I am impressed by your vigor, if nothing else. Why don't you grab some milk and then hit the hay?

I'll forgive you this time. However, I'd sooner die than forgive the Celestial Union! Hey! I'm not the bad guy here! (vs. Maori Kasuga)

Impressive, Mei-Fang. You almost made me break a sweat. I'm pretty sure that you're the only who is capable of doing that... (vs. Mei-Fang)

Here's your lesson for today! Calling someone an "idiot" does nothing but show your own stupidity. Understand? Good... you idiot... (vs. Lilica Felchenerow)

The best way to put a conceited little brat like you in her place is with excessive amount of force. Am I a genius or what?! (vs. Lieselotte Achenbach)
