Kaori Shirasaki is one of the main characters from the "Arifureta Shokugyō de Sekai Saikyō" series.

She is one of the students from Japan involved in the Summoning Incident and ended up in Tortus along with her other classmates. She is the childhood friend of Shizuku Yaegashi, Ryutarou Sakagami & Kouki Amanogawa and was part of Kouki's party during the training in Orcus Labyrinth.

She had a long crush on Hajime Nagumo since she once saw him while she was in Middle School. Since her meeting, she admires Hajime's strong will. Realizing her love for Hajime after he fell into the abyss, she further pushed her resolve to become stronger in order to prevent it from ever happening again. After reuniting with him, she chose to join his party to win his heart and always be by his side.

She was temporarily murdered by Daisuke Hiyama and revived by Hajime by transferring her soul into a stronger body. After returning to Japan, She became one of Hajime's wives.

Appearance
Kaori is a beautiful woman with brown eyes and a long black hair that reaches her waist. She wears a light blue and white priest outfit that has golden highlights on it and a green gem embedded in the middle as well as light blue metal plates covering the side of her outfit. She also wears a golden cross on her neck as well as while high heel boots.

After she was killed, she uses the body of Noint, which grants her features of silver hair and blue eyes. Kaori also starts wearing Noint's combat outfit which consists of a white sleeveless dress which has metal plates covering both sides of her waist as well as a winged helmet on her head, gauntlets on her arms and greaves over her legs.

Personality
"Hajime-kun, can I also join your party...? Rather, I'm coming no matter what you say. Thanks for having me."

- Kaori resolute to follow Hajime Kaori has immense kindness, with an extremely friendly and caring personality combined with her beauty, strong responsibility and her tendency to look after others makes her immensely popular with her classmates. Kaori cares deeply about her friends but the people who she cares for the most are Hajime who is her lover, later husband and Shizuku who is her treasured best friend. She also has a strong will that allows her to overcome all obstacles as was demonstrated during the trials in the Sunken Ruins of Melusine and the Frost Caverns of Schnee. Being inspired by Hajime's resolve of not giving up, she was capable of fighting even while dying from a grievous wound, pooling all of her will to cast a final healing spell so she could save her friends.

She is often told by the other girls in Hajime's party that she is a closet pervert for when she spoon fed Hajime with her spoon, and then quickly ate all the food with the used spoon. She has habit of trying on various seductive outfits like a erotic Santa suit, a maid outfit or the traditional Ankaji belly dancer outfit, becoming very happy when Hajime compliments her beauty and apperance. This side of Kaori appeared again when they were in the Haltina's Sea of Trees and she dreamed of being dominated by Hajime.

Kaori gets easily flustered or embarrassed whenever the topic of a conversation or any situation in general (usually involving Hajime) takes on a perverted or sexual nature.

Kaori is often told she is very much an air-head and a troublemaker. She tends to say and do embarrassing things without thinking about her surroundings. This has always caused both Shizuku and Hajime a lot of trouble in the past because she failed to realize the attention she was getting. She has always been unaware of the fact that many boys around her have feelings for her and has broken many of their hearts without noticing.

After witnessing Hajime fall to the abyss, Kaori becomes more focused and brave in her efforts to find him. She does, however, tend to overexert herself and not realize it at times. This did help her become stronger to the point where she was considered one of strongest members of the hero's party. Kousuke went as far as to say it was mostly thanks to Kaori that they survive their first encountered with Cattleya.

After joining Hajime's group and witnessing the other girls abilities, Kaori began developing an inferiority complex. Even through she was one of the strongest members of the hero's party, she could barely keep up with Hajime and the others, getting saved by Hajime multiple times in the process. Understanding this, Hajime offered to bring Kaori back to Shizuku if she couldn't take it anymore. However, Kaori has a strong will as she decided to stay and refused Hajime's offer after seeing how angry Hajime was when she was possessed and resolved not to let her weakness bother her anymore, but instead to become strong enough to stay by Hajime's side and will do anything to win Hajime's heart. This is further displayed after she was killed, where Kaori wanted Hajime to put her in a stronger body because she didn't want to stay weak anymore, even through she came to terms with her weakness. During the final trail of the Frost Cavern of Schnee, Kaori displayed how much she has grown to accept herself and her negative qualities, allowing her to gain the upper hand against her copy.

Her desire to know more about Hajime's interests of anime, manga and video games causes her to become an otaku after listening to his advice on what anime and manga she should check out.

It was possible to heal with Restoration magic, however the magic consumption from the Age of Gods magic is larger than normal magic.
 * Aetherflow - the highest-ranked healing magic of light attribute. A super wide-ranged healing magic with effect of healing everyone inside its area. The range itself was depended on the amount of user’s magic power and proficiency, but at its worst, its effective range was 500 meters in radius. Moreover, if the user gave out the “sign” beforehand, it would be able to heal specific object. And normally this magic was used with tens of magician, and took a lot of time to chant along with its stupidly gigantic magic array.

 * Temple Rend - a magic to stretch the length of time. The essence of regeneration magic was in the point that it was a magic that could interfere with time. However, from the viewpoint of the throughput and magic power amount, the extent human could handle this magic was only regeneration to return the state of the target into the healthy state where they didn't bore any wound, because such way of using it essentially only stopped at an act of projecting a moment of the past, it was named as "regeneration" magic.
 * Limiter Removal - evolution magic that exponentially increases her strength, senses, and reflexes.
 * Holy Crest of the Fallen - metamorphosis and regeneration composite magic: ‘Holy Crest of the Fallen’. By carving a cross that shouldered the role of a magic circle on a part of the body, this magic would activate regeneration magic in a prescribed time.

 * Mighty Breath of Heaven Turning - spirit and regeneration composite magic: ‘Mighty Breath of Heaven Turning. This magic picks out which were the allies using soul magic and carries out converging-attachment of the souls that were in the process of dispersing, moreover it performed healing using regeneration magic. As expected, in the case where the corpse didn’t maintain their original shape like being bisected until the body become in pieces or the head was gone, or the time of death had gone past ten minutes, the effect of this magic wouldn’t work on the corpse that was in those states, but other than those cases all the allies inside the radius of four kilometers with the black silver drop as the center would have revival and healing performed on them.
 * Divine Binding of Layered Usurpation - spirit and light element composite magic: ‘Divine Binding of Layered Usurpation’. This composite magic designates its target using soul magic, and then it uses evolution magic to enhance the light element magic ‘Divine Transfer’ in order to transfer magic power to other people. It plunders the magic power of the seized opponent forcefully to recover one’s own magic power, and then that magic could also be reused for things like ally’s strengthening and so on.
 * Indomitable Hallowed Ground - a composite spell that combines "Hallowed Ground" and the unique Apostle skill "Disintegration": Indomitable Hallowed Ground’. By combining the strongest barrier spell with the the Apostle's "Disintegration" ability, it creates a barrier that will repel most magical attacks by disintegrating them. It can only be overwhelmed by other Disintegration which nullifies the disintegration defense of the Hallowed Ground, while the disintegration effects of the barrier transforms the disintegration attacks into mere bombardment.

Quotes

 * (To Hajime Nagumo): "It’s easy for strong people to solve things with violence. People like Kouki-kun can easily fling themselves into trouble and just fight their way out of it... but few people who’re weak have the courage to stand up for others, and even fewer could bow down like that for someone else... You know, I was always scared back then... I always made excuses for not helping other people by telling myself things like ‘I’m not strong like Shizuku-chan,’ so when I got in trouble, I always waited for other people to come save me instead."
 * (To Hajime Nagumo): "That’s why I think you’re really the strongest out of everyone here, Nagumo-kun. I was really happy when I saw you again in high school, you know... I wanted to become more like you. I wanted to talk to you more, to learn more about you."
 * (To Shizuku Yaegashi): "I’m going to get stronger. Strong enough to protect him even from what’s down there, and then I’ll go look for him. I won’t rest until I’ve confirmed with my own two eyes... what’s happened to Nagumo-kun... Shizuku-chan."
 * (Kaori when facing the Behemoth): "I won’t let you take anyone else from me. I’ll trample over you and make my way back to his side."
 * (Kaori apologizing to Hajime for breaking her promise): "Hajime-kun... Shank you... hic... for staying alive. And I'm... sho sorry I couldn't protect you... Hic..."
 * (To Hajime Nagumo): "I love you, Hajime-kun. I love you so much. That’s why I want to stay by your side."
 * (Kaori expressing her feelings for Hajime to Prince Lundel): "Huh? Wh-What's this all of a sudden? Jeez, that's so embarrassing. But, fufu, yes, I suppose I would. He's the man I love the most in the world. As for what's good about him, well... everything. Fufu..."
 * (Kaori to her doppelganger): "I want to change. I want to be kind like Yue. Strong like Shea. Wise like Tio. And cute like Shizuku-chan."
 * (Kaori to her doppelganger): "I’m scared of the ugliness inside of me. But I won’t turn away from it! I’ll never lose to myself! I’m going to protect the people I want to protect, and go back home to Japan with everyone!"
 * (To Shizuku Yaegashi): "No one thinks you’re a horrible person. Besides, it’s not like you can control who you fall in love with. If anything, I’m happy you’re finally putting your own desires before other people’s, Shizuku-chan."
 * (To Shizuku Yaegashi): "Shizuku-chan, you look super cute right now! Alright, it’s finally time to take down the Yue-Shea pair combo by creating our own childhood friend combo!"
