Hinata Tachibana

Hinata Tachibana is Takemichi Hanagaki's girlfriend. She is the primary reason for Takemichi's desire to change the past.

Appearance
Hina has large coral pink eyes and wears her hair dyed in the same color a little longer than before, going beyond her shoulders and a mole below her chin. She is seen wearing a long black dress with embroidered flowers. She also wears a necklace around her neck, materializing her relationship with Takemichi Hanagaki during their middle school years.

As a middle-schooler, Hina's hair is shorter. She usually wears the Mizo Middle School uniform, consisting of a white blouse and striped tie, a matching skirt and jacket, and black loafers. As a high-schooler, Hina's hair has grown to her shoulders.

Personality
Hinata has a very outgoing and upbeat personality who is highly optimistic and always finds ways to make undesirable situations better. Even when others become demoralized or despair, Hinata remains strong in order to push them forward.

She is an incredibly strong-willed and determined teenager, willing to take drastic measures in order to protect those she cares about. At the same time, this can make her reckless and not consider certain courses of action carefully, as she slapped Mikey when they first met while trying to defend Takemichi although she had misunderstood the situation completely, which, fortunately, ended without major repercussions although with a scolding of what her actions could have triggered.

Hinata is deep down a very kind individual who can befriend others rather easily and looks out for others constantly. Her bright nature brings comfort and solace to others who rely on her for support. Hinata can nonetheless be fairly terrifying when angered, Mikey was impressed by the strength of her slap.
