Harukana Receive

Haruka Ozora - Haruka is very energetic, light-headed and childish to some extent, but positively straightforward where she is empathetic towards those around her.

She initially had somewhat of a height complex, but overcame it after beginning to play volleyball which takes advantage of her tall stature. Also, due to being used to being the tallest girl around, she gets uncomfortable around women much taller than her.

She also tends to admire Kanata Higa and from time to time gives her ambiguous compliments,

Kanata Higa - Upon her debut, Kanata was initially somewhat withdrawn. This came from being relatively short compared to the other characters, which gave her a disadvantage at beach volleyball. Though Kanata's distancing makes her rather shy, quiet and reserved, she can behave eccentrically in unusual situations.

However, after meeting Haruka, she begins to open up while develops a new "outotsu"[1] playing-style which lets her adapt her short stature with Haruka's height. As she and Haruka bond, she maintains her friendship with Narumi Toi to which they believe it's stronger to win together than alone.

Kanata is also a loving owner to her pet turtle Kamekichi.

Emily Thomas - In stark to her older sister, Emily is more put together, reserved, and serious. She constantly puts up with Claire's antics such as what kind of scanty swimsuit she chooses wears when playing volleyball to whenever the latter smacks her on the behind.

Claire Thomas - Claire is outgoing, hyperactive, and fun loving, unlike her modest younger sister Emily Thomas. Claire is unafraid of expressing her more wild side, be it with volleyball or showing off her looks in a swimsuit, which she takes pride in gushing over how it helps during matches.

Claire has a rather obscene habit of slapping Emily's behind whenever scoring a point in the heat of the game, much to the embarrassment and annoyance of the latter. Claire combines the personality traits of Haruka Ozora and Ayasa Tachibana, demonstrates the carelessness and cheerfulness of the first, and the playful teasing of the second.

Narumi Toi - Narumi is phlegmatic and serious, a believer of prevalence solely through hard work, to which she abbreviates in philosophy passed on from Kanata, "No Such Thing As Aces".

Ayasa Tachibana - Although Ayasa is quite friendly, she is strongly emotionally attached to Narumi Toi and even compares to her jealous girlfriend when she uses a romantic metaphor for their partnership in volleyball.

Akari Ōshiro - Akari is a tsundere, so she is constantly embarrassed and nervous when other girls call her their friend, or being called by her nickname "Shii-Chan" when Claire Thomas remember her participation in the drink's advertising in the past as the Shequasar Girl.

Mai Sunagawa - Despite her short stature, Mai is somewhat aggressive, especially towards her opponents. The author Nyoijizai himself refers to her as the "little mad dog". Although she hates to admit defeat, she rather harbors blame on herself, remarking that she sucks at it. Mai also displays some degree of sef pride when she says she won't forgive team Harukana "if they put on a poor show" when the latter is about to face team YoKan at the Okinawa National Qualifiers' semifinals.
