Personality - Kiko has a large range of humor, making both dark and light hearted jokes. She is mischievous and enjoys helping Yae with her harmless pranks, but she never wishes to harm anyone. She enjoys teasing others, and fights in a playful and drawn out way.
Kiko has lived a long time and knows many things. She will generally share that knowledge freely. She can be impatient and aggressive at times, but that's usually reserved to specific people or situations. She can be a very warm person, generally enjoying comfortable silence more then chitchat, but can also be fierce, and not someone you want to cross. She is very loyal and if someone she considers a friend needs help she will do anything for them.
If she finds someone she thinks is interesting, she will "claim" them in a way. Following them around and finding ways to grow to become their friend. 
She enjoys a good book, especially fantasy books, and will read whatever Yae suggests. Though does tend to avoid the romance genre.
Kiko can be very opinionated and passionate about some topics, such as what had happened in the past, the impact of death, and the protection of countries and loved ones. She will always talk deeply about those topics with anyone. She can be hateful to someone who breaks her trust and can hold a grudge for a long time..
Kiko is severely traumatized and has smiling depression. She always acts happy and friendly even while severely depressed as she fells like others have it worse, so what does she have to complain about?
She never wants to be a burden.
If she becomes friends with others, and helps them with their problems, then perhaps, she isn't as much of a waste of space as she assumes.

Likes - Books (especially fantasy, but will read practically anything). Hot chocolate and tea. Pretty Seashells. Exploring. Horses. Fried Tofu.

Dislikes - Feeling helpless. Heavy storms. Festivals. Coffee. Getting lost in thought. Deep conversations with people she doesn't trust (some exceptions). The sound of ticking clocks. Pickled foods. Romance books (so and so).

Fears - Losing people she cares about. Being a burden.

Hobbies - Reading. Helping Yae with stuff in her publishing house. Training. Exploring. Helping Yae play tricks on people.

Weapons - Polearm spear and her elemental abilities

Objects of importance to them - Pyro Vision and mask

Backstory - Kiko used to be a shrine maiden from while she was young to when she was a bit over 100 years old. During that time, she met Hisa, who taught her to fight after Kiko begged them to teach her for a while. Kiko joined the Inazuma army because she wanted to help protect Inazuma. She fought in the army for over a century.
Kiko was close with Ei, Makoto, Sasayori, Chiyo, and Saiguu. And mourned their deaths with Ei. She was there when Ei met Yae and became good friends with her as well. She's still good friends with Yae, but distanced herself from Ei and Inazuma when the vision hunt degree began.
During her travels, she met Marisha and absolutely refused to leave her alone until they were friends. They bonded in shared trauma over the Kitsune Hunts and being betrayed by or losing the people closest to them.
She has returned to Inazuma now that the Vision Hunt Degree is over, (dragging Marisha with her) but still hasn't reconnected with Ei. She has, however, become friends with Sara, and they enjoy training together.
Kiko used to be deeply in love with Hisa, but at current time that person is dead, leaving Kiko depressed.
