## Bio

### Appearance

Hibiki has dark blue eyes and long, waist-length auburn hair with a pair of pigtails held by pink ribbon. Several loose strands stick out and she has thick bangs, with thinner forelocks. Casually, she wears a white long sleeve shirt and black leggings with magenta detail, worn beneath a matching colored dress, featuring a heart design, ruffled sleeves and layered skirt. Her sneakers are white and light pink. In the summer, she switches to a black tank-top beneath a pink crop shirt featuring a dark-pink heart design, a magenta skirt, navy blue leggings and the same sneakers as before. In the movie, she wears a hot-pink top beneath a lilac buttoned cardigan with the top two same-colored and light pink layers worn with black knee-socks and also the same sneakers.

As **Cure Melody**, her eyes brighten while her hair grows longer and turns light pink, worn in a pair of curled twin-tails held with small braids. She wears a white headband with magenta rabbit-ear bow and heart, a ribbon choker, and heart earrings with a pale pink heart hanging from the bottom. Her two-piece outfit consists of a pink and white ruffled top with a magenta vest worn over it, the Cure Module placed above a knotted bow. Her frilly tutu consists of many white layers, followed by those of pink and magenta, with a pale pink ribbon on the corner. She also gains magenta stockings with white detail, magenta shoes with white cuff and a pale pink ribbon adorned by a heart, and frilly wrist pieces with a magenta ribbon.

### Personality

With a music teacher father and violinist mother, Hibiki has an uninhibited personality much like her parents. Despite both her parents being musically-inclined, Hibiki thinks that she has no musical talent at all, but she works hard at perfecting her piano playing. She also loves to eat sweets, especially the cakes from Kanade's family shop or those from Kanade's school group. Mostly she is a bright girl and kind of a klutz with a strong sense of justice. She is very bold and dislikes underhanded tactics, believing hard work and effort must be put into things to get them right. She also dislikes losing and can be hot-blooded, but she is friendly and usually means well. She also succumbs easily to loneliness, and enemies have successfully used her naive and unpretentious nature against her. However, this single-mindedness has allowed her great influence in bringing Ellen and Ako over to the Pretty Cure's side. As a single child, she is envious of Kanade, who has a little brother and enthusiastically embraces Ako into her circle of friends, even before knowing that she is Cure Muse.

Although she is outstanding at sports, she loves too many to settle on a single club, preferring to provide aid to any team that needs her help instead. However, she is not very good at her studies or cooking. Over the series her love of music is rekindled and she decides to pursue her original aspirations of becoming a pianist.
