Chie Hoshinomiya

Appearance
Chie is a young adult woman of average height with chest-length light-brown hair that is curled at the bottom with bangs hanging on the right side, purple eyes and a slim but well-endowed body.

Background
Some time ago, Chie was attending Advanced Nurturing High School. She became friends with Sae Chabashira.

Personality
Chie is a friendly class teacher who also likes drinking as she often appears in school with a hangover.

In spite of her quirks, she appears to be insightful as she recognized the potential of students from class 1-D who could advance such as Kiyotaka Ayanokōji, who she never met (anime only), may present a problem for her class based on what Ichinose told her about him.

In the manga, she also assumed him to be popular in his class, due to his good looks.

Plot
During Episode 4, in Class 1-B, she is suffering from a hangover and is told by Chihiro Shiranami on how she reeks of booze. She struggles to tell the students the scores of a recent quiz and once they are given out. She runs out of the class to puke after telling them that they will receive their points.

In Episode 8, she is getting a massage with Honami Ichinose and behaves rather oddly. She calmed down and they discussed students of each class they should watch out for. When Chie mentioned someone was missing from the list and its someone Honami previously informed her of. Honami thought she was suggesting Kiyotaka Ayanokōji, as she confirmed that something seems to be odd about him.
