Hibari Ameno

**Hibari Ameno** (雨野 雲雀 *Ameno Hibari*) is a member of the Ameno Clan Branch House and the cousin of Sagiri Ameno.

## Appearance

Hibari is a teenage girl with blue hair that is tied in twin tails held together by kunai-like hair decorations and blue eyes.

She is noted by Oboro Shintō to look like Sagiri Ameno due to their facial likeness, but Hibari smaller in terms of height and breast size.

As for her casual outfit, she is often seen wearing a sleeveless outfit with a short skirt.

## Personality

Hibari appears to be a very competitive girl who challenges Sagiri Ameno in any way she can. She's prone to jealousy, thinking that Sagiri is way better than her in everything. Despite all that, she's actually kind and polite. However, when it comes to Kogarashi Fuyuzora, she can be a little daring like stripping in front of Kogarashi just to become his official girlfriend, and how she declares to Sagiri that she will take him.

Hibari lacks confidence in herself because she believes all the girls around Kogarashi are more attractive than her. However, this doesn't stop her from constantly trying to best them.

This shows that no matter the odds that go against her, Hibari possesses a strong determination to face and overcome them.

She also seems to hate indecency and erotic things despite, ironically, what she did to Kogarashi during Ch. 34 was extremely erotic itself.

## Background

Hibari's grandmother told them that they should keep looking beautiful and cute in order to get them a good a husband, to which Hibari took seriously and hopes that she'd able to surpass Sagiri in terms of romance but after finding out that Sagiri currently lives with a man, she called her a sexual deviant and ran away. Later in the evening, two men, which revealed to be spiritual ability users, attempted to hit on her and got caught between their fight. She was later saved by Kogarashi Fuyuzora and became infatuated with him.

During the next chapter, she managed persuade him to pretend that they're dating brought him to her house, wanting to introduce him to Sagiri and their grandmother as her 'boyfriend', much to Sagiri's shock. She later heard Sagiri and Kogarashi's conversation and found out that Kogarashi is the man Sagiri's been living with. However, because her strong rivalry affection for Sagiri, she boldly stripped in front of the man. Desperately wanting Kogarashi, she used a ninjutsu to clone herself. She revealed that she was raised and was told to not to lose to the daughter of the main clan but would always lose in both lesson grades and ninjutsu abilities. During this moment, Kogarashi's shorts was pulled and got into another 'situation' with a girl, which was discovered by Sagiri when she entered the room. Hibari tried to explain to the angered Sagiri that it was her fault but Kogarashi still pretended to be her boyfriend up until the end, which made Hibari to truly fall in love with him.

Hibari later apologizes about everything and cleared Kogarashi's name, much to Sagiri's relief. Little did they know, their grandmother saw everything and informed them that he would make a fine groom. Although Sagiri shyly refuses, Hibari declared that she'll take him.
