Description
Hershey Epor is a character from the anime Rising Impact who stands out for her short stature and a manner of speaking that can come across as somewhat childish. Despite her small physical frame, which limits her driving distance, she possesses exceptional skill in approach shots, boasting a remarkable seventy percent success rate on chip-ins from under thirty yards. Her average drive distance is around one hundred sixty yards, and she maintains an average of 2.4 putts per green. Her best competitive score is recorded as even par.
In terms of personality, Hershey often adopts an arrogant and condescending attitude toward rivals she perceives as being of a lower skill level, a demeanor she does not hesitate to show even to her senior, Daichi Arai. However, her attitude shifts notably when dealing with players she respects. She shows clear respect for Kai Todoin and holds a particularly strong admiration for Mika Kuromine. This admiration for Kuromine is a significant aspect of her character. She was unable to forgive Hidemi Kanazono, a student who gained admission to the academy through wealth, and subsequently bullied her from the shadows. The conflict escalated when Kanazono retaliated by tampering with Hershey’s clubs, which resulted in Hershey being forced to withdraw from a competition. After the truth was uncovered, Hershey and Arai confronted Kanazono, but Hershey’s own bullying behavior was also revealed, leading to severe reprimands from both Kai Todoin and Mika Kuromine. Following this incident, her relationship with Kanazono showed signs of improvement, though her fundamental personality did not change completely. She later attempted to intimidate Lancelot Norman, who had taken Kuromine’s spot in the competition. Her role in the story is therefore that of a talented but flawed rival whose journey involves confronting her own prejudiced behaviors. Her character shows some development as she eventually appears as an adult reporter in the author’s subsequent work, Ultra Red, demonstrating continued growth beyond her golfing career.
