Ibuki Hinata

Ibuki Hinata (日向 伊吹) is one of the female protagonists of Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi. Ibuki is a fellow second-year student, her class representative, and Ui's closest if not best friend. Besides her academic excellence and status on the student council, she is also an active member of the club, having practiced the sport since middle school. Her first acquaintance with Kazuma is a suspicious and disparaging one; much to her own confusion, his kindness rubs off and she ultimately develops a soft-spot for him. Although Ibuki can be tough and difficult, she succumbs to her feelings and can be particularly tender and shy.

Appearance
Ibuki has short white hair and usually wears a black headband which comes out in bows above her ears, with little golden bells. She has dark indigo-grey eyes and is normally in her PE kit or school uniform. On days out, she wears her own t-shirt and skirt.

Personality
Ibuki is often quiet but very strong physically and mentally. She is in the archery club and her grades are high, and she is protective of her best friend Ui. She is easily disturbed (like when Kazuma told her sharing a bottle would be like an indirect kiss) and often reacts by kicking or other physical pain-inflicting moves.
