She's always talking with a sassy attitude and often loves teasing other people to make them annoyed.

Background
Kirika is the daughter, and an only child, of Tsubame and Osamu Sumiko. Her mother works as the president of a cosmetics company called Starlight Beauty, while her father is a movie director who is known for his action and romance movies. With her parents working all the time, Kirika would always be alone in the house with the maids and playing with her stuffed animals. Kirika didn't have any friends growing up, but she learned to find more leisure time and dressing up with her dresses and other outfits, which would later take her interest in fashion.

When her parents took a day off from work, they went back home to see Kirika and gifts her Swarming Holly, which was able to talk. Kirika was excited to have Holly to keep her company, when her parents are working. Holly talks about B-Daman and its mechanics and teaching her how to play.

One night, Kirika noticed Holly was acting strange and asked why. With Holly not finding a good explanation to give, she decides to bring Kirika with her. After following her B-Daman's instructions, Kirika and Holly were suddenly transported into the world known as the "Mystic Village". Kirika was surprised to see the other world, but was more surprised when her B-Daman transformed into her true form -- a Familiar in the Mystic Village.

Kirika and Holly were later encountered by Elvire the Owl Mystic, who works as a messenger for the High Mystics. Elvire brings the two for a visit to meet the Five High Mystics of the Mystic Village. Kirika shows herself to the High Mystics and tries to question on how she entered the Mystic Village, but Holly quickly defends Kirika and saying that she is Kirika's partner in B-Daman form. The High Mystics understand what's going on and the meeting continues. As Kirika, Holly, and Elvire were free to leave, the Mystic Village was suddenly under attack by the Malevolents.

When the Malevolents attacked, Elvire and Holly protects Kirika and Elvire instructing Holly to bring her back to the human world. As the two were protecting Kirika from the enemy, they were attacked by the Malevolents and their leader, Raven the Cat Malevolent. While trying to escape from the Malevolents and Raven, Kirika suddenly falls off from Elvire and drops down from the air. Holly tries to save Kirika, but her powers weren't strong enough to carry her. Eventually, Kirika quickly turned her fears into strength as she believes in herself and gaining a strong will to fight with the Mystics. Suddenly, a light appears and Kirika obtains her powers of the butterfly, then transforms into Viveria the Butterfly Mystic. She joins the fight, as a Mystic, and saving Elvire from a tight situation and surprising the Malevolents.

After witnessing what happened, the High Mystics accepted her into the Mystic Village as a new Mystic and saying she was "special". Elvire quickly offers a role to become Kirika's teacher and teaching her how to become a Mystic.
