<p>In Season One, it is revealed that Selectors become LRIGs if they meet the conditions for their wish to come true.</p>

<p>Because of this we have a chicken and egg situation:</p>

<ol>
<li>The first LRIG must have originally been a Selector</li>
<li>The first Selector needed an LRIG to grant their wish</li>
</ol>

<p>Which came first?</p>

Which came first, the LRIG or the Selector?

In Season One, it is revealed that Selectors become LRIGs if they meet the conditions for their wish to come true.

Because of this we have a chicken and egg situation:

1. The first LRIG must have originally been a Selector
2. The first Selector needed an LRIG to grant their wish

Which came first?

The LRIGs came first.

> The first LRIGs, Tama and Iona (then known as Shiro and Kuro) were created by Mayu to begin the LRIG and Selector system. These LRIGs are suggested to have special powers, compared to normal LRIGs. Mayu created more original LRIGs past the first two. Whenever one of these LRIGs loses three battles, they are not simply returned to the system to find another Selector; instead, they disappear. Tama and Iona are the only remaining original LRIGs.
