**Hayama Miya** (Japanese: **宮 (みや)  葉 (は) 山 (やま)** , *Miya Hayama*) was previously a second-year student at Inarizaki High. She was one of three managers on the girls' volleyball team.

As of 2020, she works as a waitress, server, and business consultant in "Onigiri Miya" instead of continuing onto further her volleyball career.

She is the younger fraternal twin sister of Osamu and Atsumu Miya, as well as the younger twin sister of Rino Miya.

## Background

During her childhood, Hayama is shown to have silver hair. Some time after junior high, Hayama dyed her hair deep raven bluish-black. Opposite of her older fraternal twin brothers, Hayama chose to go with a hime cut to her hair. She has galaxy-like eyes with hooded eyelids.

Upon entering high school, Hayama gained a more athletic build and stands at a little underneath 6 feet in height. Hayama is usually seen with a gentle and generally soft facial expression but does show excitement when singing (in her secret side job as a swimming champion) or exasperation when her brothers fight over the right to her attention.

Post-timeskip, Hayama's appearance changed greatly as her former teammates don't even recognize her. She now stands at six feet in height, her hime cut hairstyle has been replaced with a braided bun & fishtail ponytail hairstyle. She also dons black shorts, a black button-up shirt with the "Onigiri Miya" logo sewed onto it, and brown loafers, completed with a "Onigiri Miya" apron and hat. According to Osamu, she has finely developed looks and many men are constantly vying for her attention.

## Personality

Hayama appears to be the bluntest of the Miya siblings, never sugarcoating her words when voicing her opinion. Though she is the youngest of her siblings and therefore of her family (even among her cousins), she has a very mature way of thinking, tending to agree more with adults than her own teammates, seatmates, or classmates. As a logician, she searches for the most logical explanation and will only accept logical reasons, rather than the metophorical or the theoritical. Despite what her outward demeanor might show, Hayama is highly competititve and becomes heated, though this occurences are far and few in between. However, with enough provocation, she becomes angry and cold like tempered ice. In this state, she abandons her gentle and usually calm-tempered demeanor. Compared to her older siblings, she doesn't spew profanity when angry but instead becomes blunt and cold-tongued. According to Kita, the people around Hayama do anything they can to avoid putting her in a bad mood, out of sheer fear for this side of Hayama making it's appearance.

Though she appears to contemplate her reasons for joining volleyball often, Hayama acknowledges that it changed her life for the better and appears to experience withdrawel symptons, almost akin to an addiction when forced away from it. Rino, her team's captain describes it as a "state of mind" and almost like a coping mechanism for Hayama, who had no friends upon entering high school. After making friends in the volleyball club, these symptoms seem to have lessened, though they still make their appearance time from time.

Due to her childhood, having been raised in spartan-like living conditions by her strict and ex-military grandparents, Hayama is icredibly reserved and calculating towards other people. Understanding the circumstances that led her teammates as well as her team's captain and vice-captain to join the volleyball team, she stewardly keeps their secrets close to her heart and refuses to spill any of them, despite often prodding from the Miya twins and Shinsuke Kita, her captain's own older brother. In times of great tension, she speaks in a wise and philosphocial point of view.
