## General Information

### Personality

Hijiri is a first year middle school student, who attends Southern Lights Academy and attends language classes. Her most favorite classes are English and French. Hijiri's biggest dream is to travel the world and make new experiences on her journey. Due to being rather shy, Hijiri desires to learn how to speak in front of strangers and how to rise her voice. She wants others to know about her, to hear her and to understand her. Right now, the only ones she is able to talk normally with are her family and her best friend Nozomi. If Hijiri has to talk with others, she speaks with a quiet voice, or even hides behind Nozomi. Hijiri truly dislikes her shyness but apparently can't fight it.

During the series, Hijiri learns to speak up and becomes a bit more confident about her own opinion and her own voice. She becomes more confident with the words she chooses. Hijiri eventually starts to mix her sentences with English or French words, and even gets brave enough to make jokes. Over the time, she shows that she might be shy at first, but as soon as she warms up to someone, she becomes outgoing and happy-go-lucky.

When being around her friends, Hijiri tends to say **"100 % exciting!"** (「１００％ワクワク！」, *'100-Pāsento wakuwaku!'*?) a lot.
