Description
Hime M. Granzchesta is a character from the anime Aria - The Natural who serves as the president of the Himeya gondola company. She is a female Earth cat with blue-black fur and distinctive blue eyes. Her full name includes the middle initial M, and she is sometimes referred to simply as President Hime. Her weight is documented as approximately 2.5 kilograms, and her birthday is recorded as August 5th.
As a cat from Earth, Hime differs from the native Mars cats seen elsewhere in the series, who are known to have lifespans similar to humans. Her name carries significance, as Hime is the Japanese word for princess, which directly reflects her personality and bearing. In terms of her role within the story, Hime functions as the feline representative of Himeya, one of the major gondiering companies in Neo-Venezia. She is often seen accompanying the company's apprentice undine, Aika S. Granzchesta, who carries her around during daily activities.
Hime's personality is defined by elegance, tranquility, and a certain haughty dignity. She carries herself with the refined air of royalty, rarely displaying overt emotion or excitement. This composed exterior is one of her most defining traits, setting her apart from the more exuberant or bumbling personalities of other characters. She is selective with her affections and generally maintains a cool, slightly aloof demeanor even towards those she is familiar with.
A recurring element of her character involves her relationship with the president of the Aria Company, a male cat named Aria Pokoteng. President Aria harbors a persistent and enthusiastic romantic affection for Hime, frequently attempting to court her or win her favor. In response, Hime almost invariably reacts with cold indifference, pointedly ignoring his advances or responding with a callous and dismissive attitude. Despite his relentless persistence, she rarely shows any sign of reciprocation, though his attention remains a consistent feature of their interactions.
While Hime generally embodies quiet reserve, she does display notable moments of hidden depth and capability. The most famous example occurs on her annual vaccination day. On this specific occasion, she is known to exhibit extraordinary athleticism, seemingly unlocking the ability to propel herself through the air with incredible speed and power, an event described by observers as demonstrating superpowers. This stark contrast between her usual stately behavior and this burst of frantic energy provides a glimpse of a more vulnerable and spirited side beneath her calm surface.
Regarding her relationships, the most direct is her bond with Aika S. Granzchesta. Hime is deeply associated with the Granzchesta family, which owns the Himeya company, and she is treated as a cherished companion by Aika. She also maintains a connection with the other senior undine at Himeya, Akira E. Ferrari, as well as with a junior cat from the company named Azusa B. McLaren, who appears in later story content. Beyond this circle, her most significant dynamic is the one-sided admiration she receives from President Aria. There is no substantial information about a developmental arc or character evolution for Hime throughout the series, as she primarily serves as a consistent and colorful supporting presence. There is also no notable information regarding special abilities beyond the aforementioned burst of speed on vaccination day, which is treated as a comedic anomaly rather than a standard skill.
