Description
Himeno Kimihara is the central protagonist of her story, a centaur navigating the everyday challenges of high school in a world populated by various mythical creatures. Her physical appearance reflects her heritage, with the lower body of a horse and the upper body of a girl. She has red curly hair, reddish-brown eyes, and is notably tall and buxom, a physical trait that contributes to her self-consciousness as she goes through the awkwardness of puberty.
Himeno is characterized by a shy, sweet, and exceptionally kind-hearted nature, often described as a quintessential nice girl. She is gentle and humble, rarely showing pride in her appearance even when others compliment her. Despite her gentle demeanor, she can be somewhat indecisive and childish at times, causing her family and friends to worry about her. However, this soft exterior belies a sharp intellect, as she is a diligent student with very good grades, even surpassing her knowledgeable friend Kyoko in academic performance.
A significant aspect of Himeno's personality is her deep-seated fear of Antarcticans, a race of snake-like people. This phobia stems from a traumatic childhood experience watching a horror movie called The Fear of Antarctica, which depicted Antarcticans as monstrous creatures. This fear manifests strongly when she encounters Quetzalcoatl Sassassul, an Antarctican exchange student, whom she initially finds so terrifying that the girl's attempt at a friendly smile causes Himeno to faint.
Her role in the story is that of a normal schoolgirl whose fantastical nature is secondary to the relatable trials of adolescence. She is very close with her two best friends: Nozomi Gokuraku, a demon girl with a rough-and-tumble personality, and Kyoko Naraku, a cool and composed half-Satyr. The trio supports each other through various school events, personal insecurities, and social situations. Family is also central to her life, particularly her relationship with her young centaur cousin, Shino, whom she adores and cares for deeply.
While Himeno is generally a pacifistic and easily flustered girl, she undergoes a dramatic shift in certain extraordinary circumstances. When she and her cousin Shino are transported to a dark, medieval alternate universe, her protective instincts surface, revealing a hidden side to her personality. In this survival scenario, she casts aside her usual sweetness to become aloof, calculating, and aggressive. She demonstrates a formidable capacity for violence, non-lethally taking down numerous medieval fighters with her archery skills and using her wits to seize power, all with the singular goal of finding a way home and keeping Shino safe.
Her notable abilities are tied to her centaur physiology and family traditions. She is an exceptional runner, capable of covering 100 meters in approximately nine seconds, though this is considered slow by centaur standards. She also practices archery, a traditional skill in her family, and can display remarkable proficiency with a bow and arrow, especially under pressure. She is also surprisingly strong, once easily winning an arm-wrestling tournament when convinced to compete seriously, though she typically tries to hide this strength out of embarrassment.
