(Appearance): Hiyori has waist-length silver hair (2nd Year) that has black ribbons tied behind it. She also possesses light purplish eyes. She is usually seen wearing her school uniform and grey-like knee high socks that reached near her skirt area.

(Personality): Hiyori was said to have been a quiet and reserved girl, although she is occasionally seen smiling at times whenever she happens to engage someone in a conversation who has a similar taste as her in books. Even though she was quite happy being alone, Hiyori also felt a sense of loneliness every once in a while and wants to establish friendship with someone along the way. She always carries books with her in her bag in case she meets someone who shares the same interest in literature like her in the event it catches their attention and they reach out to her. Since nobody in Class 2-C is into literature, Hiyori doesn't have anyone to talk to about the novels she read. Hiyori extremely loved books to the point that when she finds someone who has the same or similar reading hobby like her, she would become overly and excitedly talkative without noticing it herself until after the conversation was almost ending. Hiyori would act enthusiastic and cheerful when she found her first friend and reading buddy at the school's library where she often visits from time to time. Hiyori was regarded as a pacifist in nature. In spite of this, she still harbors a strong desire to respect the wishes of her class. While Hiyori possesses a gentle face that appears as outwardly kind, Hiyori is honest and bold with her words when giving her own analysis, making her classmate like Mio Ibuki feel that she can be merciless if asked by others for her opinion. Hiyori is rational and cooperative whenever her class was in a difficult situation, speaking logically about what she feels was right to do and needed to be taken into consideration. Hiyori is an adventurous individual who expresses curiosity of the unknown, appearing seemingly interest in meeting new people who intrigue her and going to different places she had never been to before.

On the other hand, Hiyori is occasionally energetic and outgoing, making the decision to invite a few classmates into karaoke and sing several songs with them. She can even appear as worriedly curious of the class atmosphere and would be questioning towards it. Hiyori would brighten the mood of people she gathered together to hang out, proposing they stay longer with her and have some fun times. Hiyori's attitude is encouraging and uplifting to make people like Mio feel it as difficult to reject, choosing to go along with the flow she created. She always speaks politely including to those who are not part of her class. She dislikes how the classes are competing with each other and made everyone hostile to one another, wanting what she feels is the best for everyone. Hiyori can't help but be concern if one of her friends are in deep trouble by things like rumors and expulsion. She wishfully desires for everybody to be friends and remain friendly no matter their backgrounds and positions in conflicts. If she sees someone from Class 2-C being awfully rude to other students despite them not belonging in the same class as her, Hiyori was still determined to find a way to make amends in relations. She would use some of her private points to buy that victim a replacement when a classmate of hers done something as disrespectfully destroying their thing. She felt it was rightful to express apology and forgiveness on behalf of her class even though her classmates never asked the former to go through with that sort of action. She has a strong heart to embrace the harsh reality that is expulsion, knowing that a certain sacrifice has to be made at the price of saving someone who was more valuable to the class like Mio and Kakeru over the other. She is wishful and outspoken for what's best between all classes, hoping that someday everyone will battle each other that doesn't involve hostility without letting class competitions and conflicts get in the way of dictating how they feel about each other.

She genuinely wanted to befriend Kiyotaka Ayanokōji after he helped her reach for a misplaced book in the library and they started to talk about mystery novels ever since whenever the two meet up together. Hiyori was even described to be very mindful of her own action and manners to anyone she met that thinks her as being disrespectful and intrusive. For this reason, Hiyori didn't want to let people see her as incompetent that she didn't know how to do something people like Kiyotaka who could handle things on his own. It was a matter of maintaining her pride and appearance in front of others without coming off as incapable in front of others, worrying that it may somehow inconvenience them unless the person was fine with it. Let alone that, Hiyori cares deeply about her friends like Kiyotaka, whether they're her classmates or not to the point of getting her message across to the other side that she doesn't want to see someone closest to her expelled. Hiyori is a patient, considerate girl, willing to wait for however long she wants and tolerate people being late to the meeting she arranged. With her classmates, Hiyori act happy-go-lucky and carefree as she appears to be enjoyably appreciative of the accompaniment and conversations of her classmate if she views it as nice and lively to her. At the library, she has a bookworm type of attitude and manners, going so far as to remain completely silent once she got herself immerse into reading even while in the presence of a friend, not desiring to talk until near the end when break time is over. She is thoughtful of what her feelings towards Kiyotaka were that seem unknown to her at the time, seeking to explore further of why this was the case with him and not like the other boys by meeting and talking to the latter in-person. After falling in love with Kiyotaka and developing romantic feelings for him, Hiyori became increasingly happy with herself thinking that she was the same as other girls experiencing the exact thing as them.

Understanding where the girls are coming from when liking a person, she became more inclined to sort out her thoughts about the person, taking immediate action by doing an investigation on it herself. This was indicated when she grew a little proactive and impatient, wanting to quickly contact Kiyotaka as soon as possible and have him arranged a face-to-face meeting with her. For instance, Kiyotaka wanted to meet her again next time during early April, but Hiyori convince him that they can hang out together early in the middle of late March instead which she desires. Hiyori can be a bit insistent and assertive in pulling Kiyotaka along with her fellow classmates, wrapping her two arms around his own to drag him to their meeting place. Hiyori is not only someone who was regarded as trustworthy by her classmates, but she also has a trusting side to her attitude, fulfilling and recalling promises that the former and latter had made. Hiyori is also confident about the people she harbors trust for, believing that Kakeru Ryūen will definitely come to her meeting and how Kiyotaka won't get expel in the Uninhabited Island Exam as she has shown faith in him. Whenever explaining the reason of why she thinks like that, Mio notes that Hiyori herself didn't seem to understand the sheer weight of her own words. Each and every moment in time she is with Kiyotaka, Hiyori was yearning to talk to him more and more. Hearing from her classmate Daichi Ishizaki that he will be visiting Kiyotaka in hopes of trying to convince him to switch side and join her class, she was more than ready to accept his idea and didn't mind agreeing to that plan. It was her intention all along of seeking to spend more time with Kiyotaka, using Daichi's plan as an excuse to go and find him. Even if that plan looks almost impossible to fulfill, she was willing to go along with whatever Daichi had in mind about Kiyotaka, feeling happily delighted to know her classmate considers the thought of having him transfer to their class. Hiyori even finds Daichi's reasoning to be a bit interesting to her when he suggests she starts a dating relationship with Kiyotaka as a way to get him to move to their classroom.
