FINALLY. It really was a–
Actually, what are these? These vibes… Is she an amnesiac after all? Did she keep writing memos to herself?
(That just sounds like a bad idea. That way, it’s easy for anyone -including herself- to manipulate her own memories. Case in point: Plot of the crime thriller movie from 2000 called Memento.)

峽川梟花
…the 2nd and 4th kanji makes sense, but “owl flower” (梟花) really makes no sense compared to 鏡花 (mirror flower). It’s so weird that I couldn’t find it even after using this site.
Then there’s the surname… gorge/ravine river… I don’t even know where the “hage” pronounciation comes from, and if you google 峽川, then you’ll get Xiachuan; a Chinese town.
Perhaps it is time for me to stop reading into the names of these characters… Like, the best I can think of as to why the third kanji replaces mirror with owl is because she’s a birdbrain who forgets a lot of stuff.
But then I look at the first kanji, and then I just stop.
There is no logic that I can see behind that name. It’s like giving someone the surname “Beautiful” (which is a synonym for “gorgeous”) because their family lives near a gorge. The logic is so far-fetched, it might as well start its own religion.

I can’t find the place on Google.
Unless the Japanese referred Xiachuan as Hagekawa, or unless Hagekawa is one of the many old small towns that got absorbed into larger towns like Jousou, then I don’t even know anymore. How the heck that one website got hold of Hagekawa as a place is beyond my understanding. For all I know it could have been some coincidental bogus, and I would be none the wiser. I’ll just give up on names.
Protagonist? Oh yeah, Ranmaru mentioned her in their quote. Neat. I don’t know what to do with this information.
Prediction? Unless she’s a fake protagonist like 赤松楓, then there’s nothing that could possibly kill her because [plot armor]. There’s nothing to predict about her, because she can literally be anything.

about the names
some of these names are puns in the japanese language, a la the ace attorney franchise. some are more stretchy than others (i am not a native japanes speaker). kanji analysis on these ones may not work.

The saddest part of this kanji is that it can grow worse. Ever heard of biangbiang noodles?
(Never mind… the center character of that abomination is that of a horse; not a bird.)

Yumihiko Tatsuhashi, Ultimate Violinist
“I’m the world-renowned violinist, Yumihiko Tatsuhashi! Wait, y-you haven’t heard of me? What do you mean you think classical concerts are boring?”
“To be honest, I’ve always wanted to play pop music, but what kind of idol group hires a violinist?”
The son of the extremely wealthy old-money Tatsuhashi family. Since he was born, he’s always had a high profile—nobody was surprised at his admittance, given his family’s record. His technical skill on the violin matches the best in the world. He’s frequently gone on tours around the country, though the news doesn’t make it outside of classical music circles.
He thought that “abode” was the past tense of “abide” until the first year of middle school.
He’s a total dork and I love him for it.
