Description
Chika Midarezaki, originally Senko Himemiya, is the biological older sister of Yūka Midarezaki (formerly Reiko Himemiya). Raised within the abusive Himemiya family, known as the "House of Oni," she endured severe torment as the designated "Solitary Doll" – a tradition targeting the family's weakest member. Following Yūka's birth, the Solitary Doll role shifted to her younger sister. Deeply scarred by years of abuse, Chika replicated the cruelty she experienced, actively participating in Yūka's torture, including paying classmates to bully her. She harbored intense fear towards one family member, Million, whose lack of abuse Chika interpreted as a potential trap for worse suffering, fueling profound anxiety.
Her childhood encounter with Ginichi Kizakura (later Ginka Midarezaki) offered a beacon of hope; his promise of refuge remained deeply significant. After Yūka's rescue by the Midarezaki family, Chika too was freed. Kyōka Midarezaki orchestrated Chika's inclusion in the "Peaceful Family Operation" by manipulating DNA test results to falsely confirm Chika possessed Enka's DNA, enabling her official adoption and a new life.
Reunited with Ginka within the Midarezaki family, Chika retained strong romantic feelings dating back to their first meeting, consistently using his original name, Ginichi. His changed personality presented challenges, leading to her persistent, unsuccessful efforts to restore his "manly" demeanor. She maintained distance from Kyōka, refusing to call her "Mother" and using the nickname "Neko-san" (Cat Lady) instead; Kyōka frequently teased Chika about her physical appearance.
Chika often projected indifference, masking genuine concern for family and her new school friends – Momo, Shizu, and Hi, whose clique she eventually led. Her loyalty and protective instincts surfaced during critical moments, such as joining the family in falsely claiming to be the prophesied "Child of Enka" to protect Kyōka during a possession crisis, despite knowing she lacked Enka's DNA.
Over time, with support from Kyōka and Yūka, Chika confronted her traumatic past, working to overcome her ingrained hatred and paranoia. By the series conclusion, she reached greater stability, notably seen going on a date with Ginka, suggesting potential reconciliation in their relationship.
