Funada Kiito
Funada Kiito (船田純) is a Lily who attends Odaiba Girls' School. She is the captain of Legion Hronesnæsse. She is the younger twin sister of Funada Ui.
Personality[edit | edit source]
Kiito has a very charismatic and prideful personality, contrasting herself from the leaders of other legions. She is brutally honest and straightforward, openly willing to reprimand others if she finds them weak. However, this is most likely her way of wanting other Lilies to get stronger. This fits well with her role as the captain of Hronesnæsse, which manages discipline in Odaiba.
Despite appearing as cold and rude, Kiito, in reality, is a very kind and loyal girl. Kiito does not believe in abandoning others, especially her friends, and is determined to push forward and never give up. She detests people who do otherwise, but even so, she is willing to forgive others for it, like with Yuki. Kiito also uses this cold front to hide her vulnerable side as well, stemming from her hardships in life, only showing it to those close to her.
One of the only people she's openly kind to is her sister Ui. She usually agrees with what her sister says because she believes she is always right. Kiito is very protective of her sister and prioritizes her the most, threatening to fight anyone who dares to hurt her and showing a vulnerable side only to her.
Kiito originally believed in individualism and favoring one's abilities, but after studying abroad, she gains a sense of companionship and realizes the importance of teamwork and friends. Kiito is actually a very capable and talented leader as well and gets along well with her legionmates. She is also shown to treat Kurena, Tomoshibi (at times), and Momiji kindly as well. Kiito is at first very rude to Team Hitotsuyanagi but eventually gives them more respect after seeing their accomplishments.
History[edit | edit source]
Kiito and Ui were born as twins, and as a result they have the same skiller value and waveforms. Their parents try to separate the two sisters, but they refuse, which led them to be ostracized in their own hometown.
Eventually the two enroll in Odaiba Girls' School and meet Nagasawa Yuki, who was a year ahead of them, for the first time. They both looked up to Yuki like a sister and lived a normal life.
During the twins' last year in elementary, a Huge outbreak suddenly happened. Yuki tried to help them, but she ran out of magi and decided to run off and call for help, leaving the sisters alone. A small class Huge appears, and Kiito was injured protecting Ui. As a result, the two's relationship with Yuki became strained, and Kiito felt they would be dead if she didn't have the strength to be a Lily.
In her 3rd year of junior high, Kiito became the student council president of Odaiba Girls' School, along with Kawabata Hotaru as vice president. However, her policy of "ability-based training" was heavily criticized, especially as the training policy of the school was meant for high school. Hotaru gave up on Kiito, who did not give up on this change, and even Ui disagreed with her. As a result, Kiito was very unpopular among the student body and was forced to resign in the middle of her term.
Seeing her sister so depressed at the student council incident, Ui decides to invite Kiito on a short-term study trip. During a trip in the west, the Funada sisters hear a rumor about a human monster, revealed to be Shiba Tomoshibi, who had escaped from GEHENA's research facility. The two meet her in the mountains of Kyoto, and Kiito ends up fighting Tomoshibi, losing when she is hit in the shoulder by her charm. Humiliated, Kiito challenges Tomoshibi to a rematch, eventually winning after a long sword fight by slashing her forehead. Tomoshibi became infatuated with Kiito, following her at every opportunity, until she joined Hronesnæsse.
After Kiito, Ui, and Tomoshibi return from the trip, they are welcomed back by Subaru, Hotaru, and Chinami, who has supported Kiito. Kiito, having gone through a lot of hardships and tough battles, realizes the importance of friends and companionship and creates a new legion, naming it Hronesnæsse. Eventually Yuki visited them, apologizing for abandoning the Funada sisters. Although Kiito is at first angry, she eventually cries and reveals her true feelings, restoring their past friendship.
Stage plays[edit | edit source]
League of Gardens[edit | edit source]
Kiito makes her first appearance in League of Gardens along with Ui, Yuzuriha, and Momiji, assisting Team Hitotsuyanagi and Ludvico in the fight against the Huge.
When Kotohi attacks Yuyu, Kiito is the one to stop the fight, telling Kotohi that although she also understands the anger of abandoning someone on the battlefield, she is too weak to take revenge currently.
When Team Hitotsuyanagi fails to kill the Gigant class Huge, Kiito blasts them for messing up the Neunwelt Tactic, although the Huge had a magi reflector. Later she and the others participate in the two Neunwelts used to defeat the Gigant class.
The Fateful Gift[edit | edit source]
Kiito, Ui, Tomoshibi, and Yuzuriha appear in the stage play. Kiito mentions that Herensuge has a bad reputation because of their eagerness to sacrifice Lilies for their battle strategy, which goes against what the Funada sisters went through.
Later, she and the other Lilies assist in the Neunwelt Tactic to destroy the Gigant classes.
The Singular Ability[edit | edit source]
After the events of The Fateful Gift, Kiito returns to her school.
While the rest of Hronesnæsse and Saints fight off the Huge, the Funada sisters go after Haru, who has suddenly gone out of control. The fight is at a standstill, but Kiito refuses to hurt Haru. She then realizes that Haru is being corrupted by a Boosted Charm, so Ui proposes that she be the one to distract Haru and open an opportunity for Kiito to destroy it. Unwillingly, she follows the plan, watching her sister get hurt in the process, and destroys the charm core with her sword. Kiito then cries because of her sister being injured.

Kiito and Ui play a role in defeating the Huge alongside Hervor, Sachie, Raimu, and Marei while Team Hitotsuyanagi and Matsuri try to save Yuyu from Gozen and Kotohi.
