Hina

*Note: This character is a work in progress, details are subject to change.*

**Hina** is a young girl from the countryside whose family owns a watermill. She's bubbly and kind of clumsy, often being compared to a baby duckling.

## Bio

### Appearance

Hina has light skin and big aquamarine eyes with flecks of pastel pink and yellow. Her hair is worn in a pair of pigtail with feathery scrunchies. Her bangs and forelocks frame her face and she has two blocky cowlicks.

Hina casually wears light, airy clothing with inspiration taken from birds. Normally, she can be found in a parka colored a shade of yellow with the hood worn down and short sleeves, paired with frilly white bloomer bottoms with a duck-like tail, frilly white socks and yellow boots.

### Personality

A bright and warm cuddlebug, Hina loves to play and spend her time outdoors, usually with her friend Oliver or playing errand-girl for various residents of their rural town. She's become well-known for this, as well as her highly curious and impulsive tendencies that lead her to wander into things. She can be sensitive and childish, and she gets teased by the grown-ups, but she knows its from kindness and doesn't take it personally.

She is surprisingly knowledgeable about the watermill her family owns and operates. She has also learned how to grind things to make seasonings, flour, bread, salt, sugar, etc. She is also self-sufficient and knows a lot about homemaking things- but as expected, she doesn't understand most technology.

## Apprentice Witch

Hina is a Witch Apprentice whose theme color is sunflower. She isn't the best with exams -usually because her mind wanders or she didn't study too much- and she is okay with spells, but they can go wrong if she's in a big hurry. She loves flying and making magic items though. She met her witch partner, Majomiya while she was fishing near the bridge Hina uses frequently and accidentally startled her. She fell into the river and Hina brought her home for a change of clothing, food and company until she was alright to go the next morning. They began to bond, gaining a sisterly relationship with Hina none-the-wiser about her witch background until she curiously followed her back home the next day, realizing she forgot something.

Her fairy is *YaYa*. Her theme color is pastel sunflower and she has gold eyes. Her simplified pigtails resemble feathers.

Her crystal ball is a sunflower feather.

## Relationships

**Parents**: An old-fashioned couple, her fathers family were the original owners of the watermill who met Hina's mom while doing business with a shop at the town nearby. He was overwhelmed by the unfamiliar setting and she stopped him from getting hurt when he attempted to cross the street. Her mom escorted him to the shop and promised to help him whenever he would come by, feeling responsibility for his safety, and they eventually started dating. They married and she agreed to return to the country to help him take over the watermill for his aging parents.

Hina loves her parents very much and because they are close, she's likely to worry over them a lot. She is very proud when she learns new things that she can show-off to them later, which often earns her compliments and praise.

**Oliver** - Hina grew up with him and they are good friends as some of the only children their age in town. She spends most her time playing with him, going fishing or lend a hand at his families shop. His family owns the market everyone frequents for their goods. She really likes his older sister, Mari, who often teases them over their closeness.
