*—Profile*

As long as she could remember during her childhood, Hina was bullied by others. She was treated like an outcast by her peers, she was clumsy, she stuttered a lot, was super shy, couldn’t stand up for herself and was the perfect victim for others to bully. Due to this, they grew to have extremely low self-esteem and therefore had no judgment as to when or how to use their skills, and perceives everyone around her as knowing much more than she does. So she believed them when they would call her annoying, clingy and a worthless human being. One day she couldn’t take it anymore and begged to change school, be homeschooled, anything to get away from her bullies. She was homeschooled all junior high, which caused her to stay at home all day. She then depended on electronics and became chronically online. One day, she couldn’t take it anymore, she couldn’t live like this. She needed a fresh start which is why she then transferred to Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy.

## Appearance

Hina is a petite girl with big redish brown eyes that fades into a light green and dark circles under her eyes. She has long, light pink fluffy hair that she often gets complimented on. It is mentioned that she sometimes forgets to take care of it. She has straight front bangs and fluffy side bangs. Her traits include her soft and gentle voice, her messy hair and her bandages on her arms and on her legs. She is pretty short since staying inside for years stunt her growth.

## Personality

Hina is a relatively shy and socially anxious girl, being very insecure and fearing of being perceived as a burden. Hina has some people-pleasing tendencies, wishing to make others happy and to be liked and well-received by everyone that she meets. She is usually creative, optimistic and supportive, although she can sometimes be too willing to go along with others in order to keep the peace. She cares deeply for other people, often putting their feelings and interests before her own, in some cases at a personal cost.

She tends to be very kindly and sympathetic, but can be somewhat naïve in regards to understanding the ulterior motives of others, quickly growing attached to those who are demonstrative and affectionate towards her. Hina craves approval from others and desires connection with others, but it is driven by her own pleasure rather than genuine concern for them. She doesn't really care about real world and instead focuses on her own emotions and her chaotic inner world. When reality fails to match her idealized daydreams, she becomes extremely anxious. Her worst enemies are the challenges of the real world and herself.

## Relationships

Hinata Himura: Hina’s bandmate and childhood friend. They first became friends in the first grade, since their names were similar and they both liked the same things. Hinata was the only one who defended Hina when she got bullied by her classmates. Soon after elementary school Hina got homeschooled, which meant she couldn’t see Hinata. A few years later she transferred back to Miyasuzaka girl’s academy and was in the same class as Hinata. After seeing Hinata, Hina went into panic mode, she hasn’t seen Hinata for years, has she changed? Does she still wanna be friends? Is she mad that Hina basically abandoned her? Surprisingly no. Hinata still wanted to be friends, best friends. And they started to build back their relationship.

Kanao Hamasaki: Hina’s bandmate. Hina first heard of them from rumours. Kanao was an interesting individual to say the least. Hina was warned about them and was told to avoid Kanao at all cost. So she did as she was told, but this was a difficult task since suddenly Kanao was always near her. To the point Hina had no choice other than to interact with Kanao. While Kanao was weird, they weren’t that bad. Hina started to warm up to them and they started to become friends. Hina loved Kanao’s angelic singing. And Kanao has stated that they love to hang out with Hina since she was a very fun person to tease.

Rika Koizumi: Hina’s bandmate. Hina first heard of Rika from numerous rumours of how she was a loner and had no friends. Hearing this, she tries to befriend Rika thinking that they were both in need friends but she then learns that Rika actually likes to be alone, she doesn’t want friends and doesn’t needs one. Hina’s hope of finding someone who was in need of a friend got crushed. Rika was a scary individual, she was cold, confrontational, blunt and brutal. The opposite of Hina, who is shy, scared of confrontation and gentle. But Rika slowly started to warm up to Hina, and they started to be actual friends. Hina started to get used to Rika’s dry and sarcastic humour, and they both enjoyed each other’s company.
