Hinata is the kind of girl who bounces into a room with infectious energy. She and Aoi used to go hiking together as kids—long, adventurous treks—until Aoi's accident put an end to that. They drifted apart through junior high, but reconnected in high school, and Hinata saw her chance to pull Aoi back into the mountains.
She's not always the easiest friend. Even now, she bulldozes her way into situations and basically strong-arms Aoi into joining whatever she's got planned. That said, she genuinely cares about Aoi; beneath the pushiness is real consideration, and the two make it work despite their occasional clashes.
There's more going on under the surface than her brash exterior suggests. Hinata's observant and thoughtful when it counts, which catches people off guard. She does well in school too—though she's completely hopeless in the kitchen. Her dad got her into mountaineering, and while she's got real passion for it, she's still very much a beginner when it comes to actual experience and technique.
