## Personality

Hina is a kind and caring young woman, as evidenced by her willingness to offer a free burger to the runaway Hodaka, and her newfound love for the happiness her sunshine power brings to people. She is cheerful despite her struggles to take care of herself and her brother.

In First Light whenever she is not around with her brother, she will often start to panic as she had stated that her brother Nagi is like 'home' to her. As well as when Dante is using her, she often gets irritated by his orders. Upon having Nagi taken hostage by Dante, she starts to become antagonistic as he angered her for not letting her brother go until she finishes the job. After the death of Hodaka and Nagi Amano, Hina showed a destructive tendency, as well as an issue towards authority. Due to a massive shift of personality, Hina is then shown to be the most vulgar of all Conduits, swearing very frequently. This is hinted when Hina swears for the first time in front of Shouta, when he said "That's not the Hina I knew."

## Background

Hina and her younger brother live together after their mother passed away, leaving her to fend for them both. There is no mention of her father or any other relatives.

## Plot

### Weathering With You

Hina meets Hodaka Morishima in the McDonald's that she works at, and approaches him as he sits without ordering anything, offering him a free meal out of pity.

Some time later, Hodaka watches as Hina is being intimidated into working at a sketchy club, and attempts to rescue her. He recognizes her as the girl who was kind to him, and they then run away together as the club host pursues them. The host pins Hodaka down, but he manages to shock the man by firing the gun he had found earlier. Not expecting the gun to be real, Hodaka freezes, and Hina quickly pulls him away so that the two can escape to a nearby abandoned building—the same one Hina saw as she sat with her mother. Hina chides Hodaka for interfering, explaining that she needed the job to support herself and her sibling after being fired from her previous job at the fast food restaurant. She criticizes his use of the gun before turning to leave, and Hodaka, also scared by what he'd done, throws it across the floor of the building. Seeing that he'd recognized his mistakes, Hina returns and guesses that Hodaka is a runaway before telling him that she wants to show him something. At the building's rooftop, Hina demonstrates her ability to clear the sky by praying for Hodaka. She introduces herself to an impressed Hodaka as he does the same, boasting to him that she's 17 and thus older than him. They organize a meeting at Hina's house.

Later that day, Hodaka arrives at Hina's house and she cooks lunch for Hodaka as they discuss jobs. Inspired by the idea of the Sunshine Girl, Hodaka proposes that they start a business together; Hina could provide her mysterious ability to people who want clear weather for special events. Their business becomes a great success and they attract a large number of clients ranging from kindergarten students to corporate giants.

The Jingu Gaien fireworks festival is held a few months into the job which Hina is asked to provide a clear sky for. After doing so, she sits on the building's roof with Hodaka, telling him that she's really glad she started her job as they watch the fireworks together.

Hina, Nagi and Hodaka take a job for Fumi Tachibana at her house, clearing the sky for her so that she can light a fire for her deceased husband. Fumi says it's a shame that they're quitting the job, but Hodaka explains that they have no choice since Hina was caught on camera at the festival and thus wants to lay low for a while. Taki Tachibana arrives at Fumi's house and lights a fire for her deceased husband, Fumi encouraging Hina to do the same for her deceased mother when she reveals her passing. Taki and Hodaka discuss Hina as she, her brother and Fumi play in the garden.

On their last job at the park, Keisuke and his daughter Moka Suga are playing together with Nagi as Hina and Hodaka sit and watch them. Hina's last job had been to clear the sky for Moka so she could go outside and play despite her asthma. Keisuke comes over to sit with the two and Hodaka asks him how he knew this was his job and about him having a daughter, but he's ignored as Keisuke instead praises Hina for her abilities. The trio talk for a while until Natsumi arrives, at which time Hodaka exclaims, turns to Keisuke and asks him if he'll be in trouble with her since he has a wife. Keisuke laughs at his misunderstanding and Hina and Natsumi accuse him of being a pervert. Nagi and Moka call Keisuke and Hodaka over to them as the girls discuss the departed men and their similarities. Natsumi asks Hina how she's been, telling her of a dangerous Sunshine Girl rumour a priest informed her of.

It gets dark and the rain begins again so the six depart and split off, Nagi going with the Sugas to a restaurant and Hodaka and Hina walking back to the Amano abode together. As Hodaka walks along behind Hina, he worries over giving her the ring and confessing his love to her, but before he has the chance, Hina interrupts to tell him something. She's cut off as a gust of wind spirits her away, shocking Hodaka as she floats back down to him from the sky. He realizes that she's turning invisible due to the Sunshine Girl's curse. Hina tells him the story of how she became a Sunshine Girl at the rooftop shrine as they walk back to her place, the ring and confession forgotten.

At Hina's apartment, Hodaka hides in the bathroom as the police interrogate Hina about Hodaka's whereabouts. It is revealed that Hodaka's parents filed a missing person report and the police officers are investigating his use and possession of illegal firearms. An officer informs Hina that social services will be called in to take away Nagi, Hina's younger brother, because they are minors with no legal guardian.

Hina decides to run away with Hodaka and Nagi, but the weather worsens even more abnormally as it starts to snow. On the streets, the three are apprehended and Hodaka is caught by two police officers as he attempts to run away but is saved by Hina, who distracts the police by praying for lightning to strike nearby. This then allows the trio to escape to a hotel.

They spend the night at the hotel. As they're about to sleep, Hina confesses to Hodaka that her body is slowly being turned into water, and that she learned from Natsumi about the story of the weather maiden who becomes a living sacrifice; the weather will only return to normal if she disappears permanently into the clouds. He refuses to let this happen and promises to protect her. But the next day, Hina goes missing and the rains have consequently stopped.

Hodaka, having followed Hina to where she was spirited away in the sky, manages to reach the top of the building and jumps through the shrine. He is then transported above the world in the sky and rescues Hina. As they fall to earth, Hodaka begs Hina to start living for herself and the rain resumes with no foreseeable end.

Afterwards, Hina and Nagi were presumably adopted by the Sugas and continued to live in their apartment with Hina resuming her education.

Three years later, Hodaka visits Tokyo to search for Hina and finds her praying in the same spot he first tried to confess to her at. He calls out to her and she's both shocked and happy to see him. The film ends with them embracing each other once more.

### When Smoke Meets Rain arc

After her reunion with Hodaka, the two dated for almost 8 months until they met Shouta Magatsuchi, who works at the same McDonalds' that he Hina also works at. The two were observing the boy as they realized that he is almost the same age as them. Knowing his kind personality, the two start to befriend with Shouta, inviting him to a night supper. While Hina cooks for supper, Shouta arrives at their home with Taki Tachibana and Mitsuha Miyamizu. After their night supper, Hina was informed that Shouta got himself into an accident, which he transformed into a 'Half-Ghoul Half-Conduit'.

Two days later, her home was attacked by Taiko Ryuunosuke, who unintentionally sets her home on fire. He tries to convince her that he was trying to help her, but she continues to disbelieve him until Shouta came into action, whom he reveals to Taiko and Hina that he possess a similar natural manipulation ability like hers, which he possess Smoke. Right went she made her way out before Shouta and Taiko escaped the burning building, both Hodaka and Hina were kept held by the D.U.P as Shouta is being interrogated by Brooke Augustine. After Shouta admits to Augustine that he is a Conduit, Augustine disbelieves him and knocks the trio out cold.

Two weeks being hospitalized, Hina's injury consist of shards buried in her. After Shouta is awoken after his recovery, Hina falls asleep as Shouta decides to get Augustine's Concrete power to save her.

After his final battle with Augustine, Shouta returns to Hina and heals her, draining all of the concrete buried inside her body. She asked Shouta where Hodaka was, instead of revealing to her that he is dead, he told her that Hodaka "saved him" and "did what he had to do" in order to prevent any grief and sorrow. The two later embraced after Hina mentioned that Hodaka "did the right thing".

3 months later after Hina finishes her school, she met Kobayashi and Tohru who wants to know where Shouta is currently staying at. As she asked them why, both Kobayashi and Tohru told her that they are Shouta's loved ones, as she suddenly remembers Shouta talking about them.

### First Light

On the night when Hina and her brother Nagi were about to leave from Tokyo into finding a new place to live in, they were ambushed by the Russian gangsters called "The Akurans" while Hina was getting their money to flee. While Hina was able to get away, Nagi was not so lucky and was captured. Hina made contact with Nagi's former employer Dante, who took advantage of her naivete to manipulate her into helping him win a gang war with the Akurans.

When Nagi was finally found, Dante took him prisoner and forced Hina to continue helping him, single-handedly handing him control of Tokyo's illegal drug trade and even securing him the police's favor. Unfortunately, with the TLF on to them, Hina abandons her spirit as the Sunshine Girl and becomes a Rogue Conduit, and Dante attempted to kill her in a homemade gas chamber.

Not only had he failed, but Hina's traumatic rage allowed her to break out of the trap, which led her to "negotiate" a new deal with him: either he would hand over her brother, or she would pick apart his gang and his operation piece by piece.

Left with no other choice, Dante arranged a final confrontation with Hina at an abandoned Ghoul Restaurant, where he stuck her with a drug-fueled needle, and in the resulting haze, she unintentionally killed her brother, Nagi, leaving her emotionally distraught and defenseless as the TLF arrives.

Over a month, Hina was trained to use her powers offensively with the unwilling help with Makoto Shichiro, using his powers to create holographic targets. She was also forced to retell the events leading up to her brother's murder. With the tale complete, Chief Leader of TLF, Midori Hayashida, revealed that Dante was in custody and offered Hina the chance to execute him, a deal that Hina accepted without hesitation.

Hina's initial attempt, however, instead blew a hole into the outside world, where Dante tried to escape by commandeering an APC and with Hina uses her Neon light speed in hot pursuit. Thanks to the TLF's unwilling assistance, Hina caught up with Dante and slowly took her revenge upon the drug lord.

Returning back to Shouta's place, he heard about Hina's former Conduit abilities. He insist of having a private talk with Hina, he asked Hina to tell him what happened which she doesn't want to say it out but instead, she requests Shouta to drain her powers to know her story. After knowing about Nagi's death, Shouta comforts her as he allows her to stay at his home for a couple of days. With Tohru overhearing their conversation, Shouta told her everything about what happened to Hina. Upon Tohru giving her spare clothes, she embraced her and apologised for her loss.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Weather Manipulation:** As a Sunshine Girl, Hina possesses a unique and wonderful ability that grants her the power to stop the rain and clear the sky by praying. While using this ability, she can manipulate the weather and dive into the sky. However, as in the folklore described by the priest, there is a consequence of using this ability: the more Hina uses it, the more transparent her body becomes until one day when she finally drains all of the power in her body, she will disappear into the sky. Her emotions can also depend on controlling the weather. Examples are shown such as the unique determination of saving Hodaka from the police with the same gesture of praying this time for lightning/thunder to hit a car to buy them time to escape, and lastly when she feels cold snow will fall from the sky.
* **Neon Manipulation:** Hina's Neon powers have manifested themselves after the Comet strike. She was trained in controlling them when TLF apprehended her. As a result, she possesses a great degree of control over neon, which she can use in a variety of ways. She is capable of firing volatile beams of neon, as well as shorter consecutive blasts, allowing her to dispatch enemies from great distances. She also has the ability to detect her opponents' weak spots, allowing her to quickly kill them. In addition, she can also send a blast of neon wind to put enemies in stasis, allowing her to hit their weak spots easier. Hina can also send multiple neon rockets to hit many enemies simultaneously. If an attacker ventures too close, she can also generate a concussive forcefield around herself to temporarily stun them. As for close combat, she uses fast punches and kicks powered up by her neon energy. She learned her melee attacks by watching anime, as revealed in *First Light*. Hina is also capable of transforming herself into neon to move around at superhuman speeds, jump large distances, and run up vertical surfaces. Like Shouta, Hina is able to use Neon Thrusters to slow her descent. Finally, she is able to produce a singularity which draws in enemies for a few seconds before generating an explosion.
