## Past

When Hiba was younger she moved around the states a lot due to her father’s job. In turn she did not feel confident around strangers and would bite her tongue incidentally while stuttering. But always tried to make friends anyway. One day her father gifted her a clarinet, Hiba happily took lessons and practiced but still was not very good to her disappointment. On the day of a recital Hiba was planning to beg her mother to let her leave but before she could her mother gave her encouraging words. And that day she vowed to only play the clarinet from her heart.

The reason Hiba became an apprentice is only revealed to MajoKana and Jiji.

Hiba’s obsession with shonen has led to her closet being filled with mangas. She started collecting them around 6(before she could fluently speak Japanese).

## Relationships

### Ui

Ui’s father is friends with Hiba’s father. Hiba and Ui became best friends in their first year of elementary school. They trust each other greatly and though they occasionally get into arguments; they support each other the most. Ui often teases Hiba for her ‘strangeness’ and bad grades. But always ends up helping Hiba study at the last moment and makes Hiba laugh when sad. Hiba is the only person who knows about Ui’s rowdy nature and often is bugged by Ui’s teasing but doesn’t take it to heart. Hiba cheers Ui on to become an idol and helps Ui practice singing and dancing.
