Summary
A Magical Girl who always looks sleepy. She has a constitution that prevents her from waking during daylight, and is in danger of not graduating due to lack of attendance. Alert at midnight, she can be seen slaying Witches with a dignified expression, as if a different person entirely.
Doppel Description
The Doppel of salivation. Its form is a moth. The master of this emotion floats through dreams between sleeping and waking, yet continues to seek the light of the sun. This Doppel’s circular form symbolizes the very same sun that its master seeks, and it floats through the air in the hopes of brightly illuminating its vicinity. But despite scattering powder from its wings to illuminate its surroundings, each mote of dust only emits the faint light of a distant star, and cannot emit anything stronger than that. The unsatisfied Doppel attempts to make the powder shine brighter by firing its own rays of light, but the erratically-reflected light builds up excess energy, explodes, and catches its surroundings in the blast. Yet the Doppel is satisfied to see such a bright light, even if only for a brief instant.

Etymology
- The characters of her last name mean "enter" (入) and "name" or "reputation" (名) respectively.
Trivia
- Her illustrator is "Shino", who is known as the illustrator of the Clockwork Planet light novel series and also designed Kako Natsume.
- Her design is vampire-themed, much like Kanagi Izumi (Vampire ver.) and Shinobu Oshino.
- Because of her wish, when she sees the sunrise she will sleep and won't wake up until nighttime, much like how a vampire is only active at that hour.
- Ironically, both her summary and her design implies that she is like a vampire hunter, who hunts vampires.
- Both she and Hotaru Yura's wishes involved sleep and gave them both unusual sleep schedules.
- Her Doppel is named after a family of moths, also referred to as "ghost moths", that are crepuscular (active during twilight). The common name of the family in Japanese is "コウモリガ", literally means "bat moth". Ironically, moths are sometimes attracted towards artificial light.
- It also shares the moth design with Ui Tamaki and Umika Misaki's Doppels (which are based on a silk moth and resemble a lepidopteran respectively.)
- Her doppel may have been inspired by a famous cryptid, the Mothman from Point Pleasant, West Virginia in the United States, described as a large winged, bipedal creature with glowing red eyes in most accounts. Considering Kushu has red eyes and her doppel gives her an image similar to the cryptid, it could be possible.
- Noticeably is how two of the wings seem to look similar to a birds wing, the Mothman was also described as looking bird like in several accounts.

- It's noted in one event that her name doesn't sound Japanese. Indeed, the name "Irina" is a variant of "Irene" used in several languages, and there is a German surname "Kusch" which would be rendered with the same kana as "Kushu". However, it is "Irina" and not "Kushu" that is rendered in kanji, so it is unclear whether these associations were intended.

| It's a fable about goodbyes
Every encounter, every parting, everything happens only once, at that moment. No one has the right to blame someone's sexuality if they still want to start over. All of it was in order to look straight ahead and take a new step forward. | それは、さよならに関するひとつの寓話
どんな出会いも、どんな別れも、すべてはそのとき、一度かぎり それでもやり直したいと願う人の性を、責める権利は誰にもない すべてはまっすぐ前を向いて、新たな一歩を踏み出すため |

| "I will purge the damned with my holy blade"
the petite girl dignifiedly announced, with the blood-red moon blazing in the background. The young maiden gathered at the school after classes, appearing with a sleepy look on her face. There's no trace of a girl with ennui. | 「聖なる刃で呪われし者たちを粛清します」
血の色に燃える月を背に、小柄な少女は凛と告げる 令嬢が集う放課後の学園に、寝ぼけまなこで現れた アンニュイな少女の面影はどこにもない |

| An extraordinary, unseen world that should have existed only in my imagination.
A dazzling nighttime jewelry box decorated with the magic of fairy tales. Once you become aware of it, everyday life loses its color. As she exhales, she softly murmurs, "Another gloomy morning is coming..." | 空想の中にしかなかったはずの、見たこともない非日常
おとぎ話の魔法で彩られた、めくるめく夜の宝石箱 ひとたび知ってしまったら、日常は色彩を失った 吐息とともに、そっとつぶやく「また憂鬱な朝が来る…」 |
|||
| "Three girls stand in the world known as "Dreams of the Past".
The hearts that started running will leap over any obstacles Because it is always those who continue to dream that make the impossible possible. "Let's go... the dream hasn't ended yet. | “すぎさりし夢”と呼ばれるその世界に、３人の少女は立つ
走り出した心は、どんな妨害をも跳ねのける 不可能を可能にするのは、いつだって夢を見続ける者たちだから 「行こう…夢はまだ、終わってない」 |
|||
| **Unique to Kushu Irina** The evidence of the days I dreamed of was still certainly in my hands. Tie it slowly in your hair as you think about it. The joy of the day when it was given to me, and the tears of the day when I lost hope. Because I want to remember everything. | 夢見た日々の証拠は、確かにこの手に残っていた
想いを込めるように、ゆっくりと髪に結ぶ それを贈られた日の喜びも、希望を失った日の涙も ぜんぶ忘れないでいたいから |
|||
| "Fire, heat, give us the power to save our loved ones!"
"Ice, snow, our thoughts are with those we love!" Even if we are opposites, if we work together, our feelings will surely reach you. "Come on, let's all have a happy white Christmas!" | 「火よ、熱よ、私たちに大切な人を救う力を貸して！」
「氷よ、雪よ、私たちの想いを、大好きな人たちに伝えて！」 相反するふたりでも、力を合わせればきっと想いは届くから 「さあ、みんなで幸せなホワイトクリスマスを迎えましょう！」 |
