## **Overview**

Hitomi (瞳) is a second-year high school student and aged sixteen, who is very popular and well-known by everyone throughout the school. She is known for her very supportive and compassionate personality.

## **Appearance**

Hitomi is a very average teenage schoolgirl, who is in the second-year in Vol. 1 but a first-year in Vol. 2. She has long straight light brown hair and always seen wearing the school uniform, even when outside of school. In the second volume, however, she has her hair in pigtails. She has light blue eyes, and is average height and weight for her age. She first appears in the third episode of volume one: "Hitomi" and dies in the last episode of volume one: "Roads", saving Aika's life.

## **Personality**

In the series, she is always shown as someone with large amounts of empathy and supportive behavior. She always wants someone to feel better and happier and help them improve. She will try and talk to people and take certain approaches to make them feel better, and constantly remind them that she cares about them. She always puts her life in front of others, as shown in the last episode when she sacrifices her life for Aika. She also displays traits of being very kind, caring, nonjudgmental, and empathetic (in first volume).

She usually lets her worrying get the best of her and will dwell on others and their problems. If she gets worried enough, she will become nosy and discover the person's more personal things and even their secrets. She obligates herself to making others feel happy and improve. She wants to live as the person that is always there for someone and is very kind and caring, of which she succeeds most of the time. She also is an extrovert and gets happy when around people and making them feel better.

Hitomi goes through a character personality change throughout the series; she behaves differently in Volume One and Volume Two.

### **Volume One**

After Lyla, Hitomi develops large empathic and persistent caring behavior. In volume one, Hitomi is more hesitant of leaving the people she cares and worries most about, like Aika, more than in volume two because Hitomi thinks that she was not supportive and compassionate enough with those around her, like Lyla. Hitomi regrets this and believes that if she was more caring and beneficial for Lyla, she could have actually prevented their disappearance from ever happening.

Hitomi development of strong empathy came from her regrets because when she lost her mother and Lyla, she became more emotional since these losses really affected her. This caused her to try even harder to satisfy everyone and make everyone happier. She does not want to leave anyone in the dark and wants to make those who are neglected or going through a hard time to not end up alone and hopeless because there was nobody there. Her empathy is really strong, and she feels really bad for people like Aika, who is going through a really painful time. Hitomi can feel the pain of most people which instigates her desire to support them. Emotions are also contagious for her, for example, Okamoto-san talks about losing Lyla and Hitomi begins to cry due to her being able to connect to his suffering and hopelessness.

She is more persistent on trying to make people happier than in Volume two.

### **Volume Two**

In Volume Two, Hitomi is less emotional towards people and has less extreme empathetic behaviours. She is mainly just supportive and caring, but she is less persistent with helping people and tends to focus more on her girl group rather than others. She is still very nosy about those who she worries, like Lyla, and Hitomi attempts to make them feel happier through quick affection and recognition. However, this is different from her in Vol. 1 because in that volume, she would be more persistent in trying to get them to feel happier by repeatedly telling the person that she is there for them and to maybe talk about their problems so she can try to make them happier.

## **Background**

Hitomi Ayuno was born to an unknown mother and father on August 30, 1998.

## **Trivia**

* Hitomi is largely known by a lot of the citizens of the town. Due to this popularity, she gets her nickname "教室の瞳," which means Pupil of the Classroom. This also comes from her name's meaning, which means "pupil of the eye."
