Hiyori Shiina

Hiyori Shiina (ひより) is one of the students of class 2-C who is a loner.

Appearance
Hiyori has mid-back length silver hair that has black ribbons and dull gray eyes.

She is usually wearing her school uniform.

Personality
Hiyori is a quiet girl, although sometimes she is seen occasionally smiling.

She always carries books with her in her bag in case she meets someone who shares the same interest in literature as her. Since nobody in class 1-C is into literature, she doesn't have anyone to talk to.

She always speaks in a polite manner. She dislikes how the classes are competing with each other, only wanting everyone to be friends.

She genuinely wanted to befriend Kiyotaka Ayanokōji as he helped her reach for a misplaced book in the library and they started to talk about mystery novels.

Academic Abilities
Not much is known about Hiyori's academic background, but one thing is for sure: the scores she got on her assessment by the S-system indicates that she belongs to the upper echelon among her colleagues.

Intellectual Abilities
Hiyori is known to have a sharp intuition which is why she sometimes is tasked with info gathering and surveillance, though she is never serious about it.

When Haruka Hasebe dropped her empty coffee cup on the ground, Hiyori managed to know exactly how much sugar was in it, to begin with, and get a new cup of coffee with the same sugar amount for Haruka later.
