Description
Hina Chōno is a second-year student at Eimei Senior High School and a member of the Rhythmic Gymnastics Team. She possesses fair skin, rose-colored eyes, and shoulder-length rose-colored hair typically worn in double buns with bangs above her eyes. For practice, she wears an iridescent leotard, sometimes layered with a white t-shirt. Her school uniform consists of a cyan blazer over a white blouse with a crimson ribbon bow and a matching skirt, occasionally replaced by a pink sweater.
Born under the sign of Pisces, she is the youngest in her family. The "Cho" in her surname means "butterfly," while her given name "Hina" translates to "chick, squab, duckling, doll." In junior high, she ranked as the nation's fourth-best rhythmic gymnast. Energetic by nature, she enjoys involving herself in others' romantic affairs. Hina demonstrates strong devotion to gymnastics and loyalty to friends but openly dislikes exerting effort unless necessary to achieve her goals, stating, "I'm not very good at putting in the effort. But if I can put up with something in order to get it done, then I'll put up with it."
Her history with Taiki Inomata stretches back to their first year of junior high, including a shared memory at a fireworks festival. Initially content as friends, she later developed romantic feelings for him, particularly after noticing his interest in Chinatsu Kano. Hina confessed her feelings to Taiki, assuring him she would wait for his response, but he ultimately rejected her. This rejection caused significant sadness, worsened by their regular encounters at school and the gym. Her emotional turmoil intensified when Taiki later confessed to Chinatsu, which she described as feeling like her heart was "being clawed apart" compared to the earlier rejection that felt "hammered violently."
Struggling to move forward, she contemplated ending the friendship. She gradually healed with support from friends Ayame and Kyo Kasahara—the latter relating due to his own unrequited feelings. Though she chose to remain friends with Taiki, their interactions dwindled and they drifted apart over time. Lingering memories, like fireworks during a summer festival, evoked bittersweet emotions, and their one-on-one conversations became rare.
As a frontrunner on the rhythmic gymnastics team facing high expectations, Hina's performance declined after discovering Taiki and Chinatsu living together. Compounded stress led to a practice collision where she sprained her ankle. Taiki assisted her, prompting a conversation where she indirectly expressed jealousy by referencing an unbeatable "rival" (Chinatsu) and a "judge" (Taiki) enamored with that rival. Taiki misinterpreted her metaphor as relating to gymnastics, but his encouragement about her resilience—calling her a "warrior through and through"—helped refocus her mindset. Shortly after, she qualified for Nationals and won her competition.
Her dynamic with Kyo Kasahara began through their mutual connection to Taiki. Kyo later supported her recovery from rejection, relating through his own heartbreak. When Ayame, whom Kyo secretly admired, began dating someone else, he confided in Hina and gently inquired if she had moved on from Taiki, to which she affirmed.
Hina maintained a strict approach to her sport, avoiding unnecessary exertion by carefully managing her caloric intake to minimize extra training. This contrasted with Chinatsu’s relentless work ethic, highlighting differing philosophies toward athletic discipline. In her second year, she placed second in a popularity poll with 33,172 votes out of 144,518.
