7.4 is out and I am once again reminded of how weird Hikaru looks without her long hair
but at least now I can stare at a Yan while waiting for timed nodes to pop

The only documented Hikaru shard thus far is Hikari on the First. and she’d already been dead for a year by the time Shadowbringers happened. Hikari is Kiros’ “original” big sister.
Visually she’s Hikaru but with short hair but personality-wise she’s what happens if Hikaru acted more feminine.

Numair's goggles!
He wears them pretty much all the time. They began as just another component of his work attire, but like his gun, he tweaked it over time, adding a laser pointer and the ability to wirelessly connect to his tomephone, effectively making the goggles into bluetooth headphones.

also you can have up to 50 units this time, so definitely more reason to keep and experiment with generics
needless to say, a number of the Kupobucks gang is getting folded into the party ;D

Everyone gets parked at House Dragonia (including my Crystal characters when I put them on a train to Faerie).
Hikaru: If you have a Starlight stocking, you live here.
Kiros: There’s one for Numair…

biologically, Hikaru is an only child
keyword being "biologically" because she does acquire Kiros in Shadowbringers and they adopt each other in 5.3
(which makes for a very interesting conversation in Endwalker when Hikaru's mom turns up after having been presumed dead for 17 years, lol)

Ardbert gets "downloaded" into Excalibur rather than fuse with Hikaru. Excalibur gets upgraded as a result.
He even comments on how strange it is to get stuffed into a *sword* of all things. His presence causes some of Hikaru's Paladin defensive abilities to change a smidge.

This one is about Numair!
The Loporrits are his kind of people. He makes friends with Inventingway in particular. The little guy is every bit a tool (and drill!) enthusiast! >:D
Pierce the heavens with your carrot!

This one is about Phil.
While he is Yoshi's father, he... kinda becomes one to most of the party, really. It's sort of a byproduct of him being a teacher, too.
He is named after my IRL dad, who passed in 2008. I don't have many pictures of him, so OC conversion is as close as I get to 'em.

Drills for days, yes, but he also stole a robot (Cruise Chaser) and made it his own (and more or less turned an Elpis flower into a Dynamis core drill)
