Hina Ebina, a second-year Sobu High student, navigates social dynamics within Hayato Hayama’s circle while maintaining a quiet, polite exterior. Her shoulder-length black hair, red glasses, and diminutive frame project a gentle, refined image, contrasting with her unabashed identity as a fujoshi. She harbors a fervent passion for boys’ love narratives, often indulging in vivid fantasies about classmates like Hayato and Hachiman Hikigaya, sometimes triggering exaggerated physical reactions such as spontaneous nosebleeds. Academically gifted in Japanese and world history, she pairs intellectual prowess with creative flair, excelling in illustration and scriptwriting. Her multifaceted role as director, writer, and producer for a *Little Prince* stage adaptation during the cultural festival showcased leadership and meticulous planning, blending her BL-inspired creativity into the production’s core. Interpersonally, she prioritizes group harmony over personal desires. Aware of Kakeru Tobe’s affections, she tactfully avoids reciprocation to preserve social equilibrium. On a school trip, she covertly enlists Hachiman’s help to thwart Tobe’s confession attempt, leading to Hachiman’s staged public declaration toward her. While successful in averting discord, this maneuver unintentionally sidelines Yui Yuigahama’s planned confession to Hachiman. Her character arc gradually shifts from comedic to introspective, unveiling a self-aware, morally ambiguous side. She likens her perceived flaws to Hachiman’s cynicism, asserting that only someone equally “rotten to the core” could understand her. This introspection reflects a nuanced grasp of social intricacies and her own role within them. Beyond her core group, she bonds with Yoshiteru Zaimokuza over niche hobbies and sustains amicable ties with Yui and Yumiko Miura. Her primary focus remains reconciling her BL-fueled imagination with maintaining friendships, consistently choosing collective stability over personal romantic pursuits.
