Magic Knight Rayearth is a Japanese manga and anime series created by Clamp. It follows the story of three middle school girls named Hikaru Shidou, Umi Ryuuzaki, and Fuu Hououji, who are transported to a magical world called Cephiro. In this world, they discover that they are the Legendary Magic Knights who have been summoned to save Cephiro from the evil High Priest Zagato. Umi Ryuuzaki is one of the main characters in Magic Knight Rayearth. She is a strong and athletic girl who excels in fencing. Umi initially finds it difficult to adapt to the new world of Cephiro but quickly becomes determined to protect it.
Because Umi's magic is attributed to water, her attacks were focused more on speed and affecting the enemy.
Due to the lack of Pillar Emeraude s position the world was in crumbling state and three other worlds, Autozam, Chizeta, and Fahren, attempted to take over. Selece is Umi s Mashin and is a helpful ally to her, but the second season of the anime shows them deepening their friendship, with Umi having a heart-to-heart conversation with him during her imprisonment and even requesting him to call her by her actual name.
Umi initially finds it difficult to adapt to the new world of Cephiro but quickly becomes determined to protect it. She wields the power of the element water and carries a legendary weapon called the Escudo, which can transform into a sword. Umi's character arc focuses on her inner strength and determination.

UMI. Oh my gosh, I love Umi so much she is a perfectly ridiculous fierce little child, and I adore her with every fiber of my being!
Look at this child:
How can you not love her?
Seriously, though, I love Umi for so many reasons. I fell in love with her hard and fast in the first episode when she tried to bargain with Clef’s giant magical flying fish to take her back home. One second she was running away from it and hiding behind a tree like the fish was going to kill her, and then the next she’s contemplating how she can use the fish being tame to her advantage, then promptly starts trying to wheedle her way home. That was such a great establishing character moment for her. And then later when Clef is explaing everything, Umi is 100% fine with leaving the people of Cephiro to deal with their own problems because she wants to go home to participate in her Important Fencing Match™. Even after Clef bestows their powers upon them, Umi is in deep denial. That “What’s this? A little play?” line from her is one of my absolute favorite things from episode one because it’s basically a huge neon sign over Umi’s head shouting”WATCH THIS GIRL, SHE WILL BE GOING THROUGH SOME MAJOR CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!” So at first, I loved Umi for her potential as a character.
Then, as the series progressed, I loved Umi for her choices and actions. Sure, she’ll march right on into Presea’s house because they’re supposed to be there, Clef told them so. And then all of her actions in that episode are purely for self-preservation reasons. When Hikaru comes up with her plan to defeat the mud monster, Umi goes right along with it even though she has no idea what Hikaru is planning, not because she particularly wants to, but because it’s her only hope of getting out of Presea’s house alive. Even that night, she’s callng Hikaru a hot-head, never mind that she’s just as hot-headed, if not more so. In episode three, after Ferio feeds Umi’s ego and calls her a beauty, her reaction is priceless. She was going to tell him he wasn’t needed, he compliments her, and suddenly she’s changing her tune. It’s the best. I think my all time favorite Umi scene is in episode four. They’re trying to get to the place where the escudo is now that they’re out of the Forest of Silence. Umi’s basically like ‘We can use our magic to take us to the Spring of Eterna,’ never mind that she’s not even learned how to use hers yet. Of course, it ends up not working, but, Umi being Umi, she was just so sure of herself and super confident in that scene that her plan was going to work and nothing so trivial as not knowing how to use her magic was going to stop her.
And that’s what’s really the best thing about Umi. She is supremely self-confident and always sure of herself, sometimes to an absurd degree. But she’s also vain, stubborn, more than a little selfish, and at times obliviously hypocritical (see above example about calling Hikaru hot-headed when she is as well and also in episode 9 when she calls Alcyone persistent, which Umi is in spades when she wants something). But that doesn’t matter because she’s still a kind-hearted girl who is learning to care about the people of Cephiro over her extreme desire to go home. And she will be the best Magic Knight she can be because when Umi commits herself to something she commits to it 1000%.
In summary, have a gif of Umi at her Umi-est:
