Shiina Hinata

**Shīna Hinata** (Japanese: **椎名ひなた**, *Hinata Shīna*) **Shīna Shioriko Hinata** (**日向椎名塩子**, *Hinata Shīna Shiogo*) was previously a first-year student at Karasuno High. She joined at the start of the year as one of the boys' volleyball team's managers. As of 2018, she is a college student and is working part-time as a model.

## Appearance

Even though Shīna is a teenager, her very short height makes her look like a younger child. Tsukishima frequently teases her about this. Shīna has long, curly orange hair (inherited from her mother) that falls past her waist in waves, with large, fuchsia eyes. She is "flat-chested" and is very ashamed about it.

Shīna is usually seen wearing the school uniform, or long dresses, when outside. She wears long coats on top of dresses and is seen wearing a pair of stockings under long coats. She is a very well-dressed girl, coming from a rich family, and even her pajamas are elegant.

## Personality

Shīna is very athletic and is the manager of the boy's volleyball club at school. Her energy is a never-ending flow, and this energy is extremely shown in her personality. She is usually cheerful, if not always and knows exactly how to turn a mistake into a thing to be happy about or laughed at.

She gets a thrill out of being scared, unlike most people. She also seems to have a very high amount of skill in that regard. Whether it's acting scared or scaring others.

Despite her air-headed tendencies, she is very perceptive, and is one of the few people to see Yamaguchi for the gentle person he is, and is also not fooled by Oikawa's acts of innocence. Her intuition is very noteworthy, and she can question a single act down to the point where it can be answered with simple responses.

It is implied that her air-headed tendencies is a façade, to hide the deepest sadness in her heart that she doesn't want to show. This is shown when she gets nosebleeds sometimes. Shīna has been described as a genius in logic and problems but sometimes has difficulty understanding emotions or behavior. As a child, she rarely showed much emotion at all and, despite her genius intellect, speaks in short, terse sentences and in a third-person perspective.

## Abilities

### Strengths

**Manipulative:** She is also highly manipulative despite not lying to others (although she does tell half-truths), along with showing proficiency at strategy and romance games. Her superhuman charisma, eloquence, intelligence, memory, tactical/inventive skills, and her ability to lead, allows her to quickly fix a lot of Karasuno’s mishaps.

**Intelligence:** Shīna is shown to actually be quite smart, being the top of her class. Unlike some people, Shīna is able to make friends very easily, making communicating and gathering information from other teams possible for Karasuno. She also has contacts with most of the noble families in Japan, which aids her in diplomatic resolution when trying to pacify opposing feudal coaches who reject her team’s wishes.

### Weaknesses

**Naivety:** Shīna is a somewhat naïve girl and is sometimes too trusting which tends to get her caught in bad situations or being scolded by Keiji for letting her optimism and trusting nature cloud her judgment. Though she is deemed rather intelligent, even to the surprise of Tsukishima, Yamaguchi, and others at times, she often over-thinks certain aspects of a situation, causing her to skip over other details or possibilities.

**Short Temper:** She is also short-tempered and emotionally sensitive, causing her to go from one extreme another, and making her an easy target for psychological torment during games.

**Unpredictableness:**
