Fujihime, the last Star Clan member of her era.

The Star Clan (星の一族, Hoshi no Ichizoku) refers to a mysterious group of people who appear in the Harukanaru Toki no Naka de series. Servants of the White Dragon Priestess for generations, they are charged with being her support for her duties, such as providing her protection, hospitality, or information about her surroundings. Their exact origins are shrouded in mystery and never fully explained throughout the series.

Role in Games[]

Since ancient times, the members of the clan have possessed the ability to read the flow of energy throughout the world. They are proficient spiritual users who can manifest their powers in two ways: by foretelling the future or by identifying and manipulating energy.

Most members fall into the former category, though the practice of this ability varies on the individual. During ancient times, users were able to study magical scrolls called Akasha (概定伝承). These scrolls were authored by the White Dragon and were written in an archaic text. Members of the Star Clan were trained to decipher each scroll's contents, thus leading them to be advisors to royalty. Later generations could achieve the same results by performing divinations and fortunes or by dreaming the future. Results aren't always viewed with utter clarity, so their powers are closer to extrasensory perception rather than precognition.

People who can see energy can make it into a shape. They can tell a priestess about bad energy and fix it. Skilled people can make a special energy flower to help a priestess and get rid of bad energy. If needed, Star Clan members can make a magic wall to protect the priestess's home from bad spirits.

Star Clan members also write down what the priestess does. They keep these records in another world to remember their job forever.

They are also entrusted with protecting the Dragon Gems (龍の宝玉, Ryu no Gyoku), magical gems which are empowered with a portion of the White Dragon's blessings. These gems inform the Star Clan members of the White Dragon Priestess's arrival into their world and affirms her identity. Eight Dragon Gems are granted to the Eight Guardians. Once the men have fulfilled their duty, however, the gems leave their bodies and return to the Star Clan's safekeeping.

If the situation is dire, members can perform a ceremony to summon the White Dragon Priestess to the parallel world.

Known Individuals[]

The Star Clan used to have many members, but over time their numbers decreased for unknown reasons. It's hard for new members to join because only those in the same family can pass on their powers. Usually, women are the ones with these powers, but men can have them too. If siblings are born, they might have to share the powers.
