Ice Magic

Hinata has the ability to summon her Persona, Ostara. Ostara excels in ice magic.

Healing Magic

Ostara has some healing abilities, though it pales in comparison to Ruri and Yukio's Personas.

Battle Style

Hinata is very agile, due to her training as an ice skater. She's very used to doing flips and jumps. She's one of the best magic users of SPIES.

Hinata Arisato is the only daughter of Minato Arisato and Yukari Takeba. She is one of the co-founders of SPIES, and is considered second-in-command. Born years after her father's death, Hinata was conceived through in-vitro fertilization. A pretty and popular young woman, Hinata chooses to stay at Port Island, working in her mother's fashion boutique L'Amourex, while studying fashion design at Iwatodai University.

When the story begins, Hinata has recently graduated from Gekkoukan High. She is trying her best to stay alert, and keep out of trouble. However... things change when her childhood best friend Satomi returns from America.

History

Hinata Arisato was born to Yukari Takeba on July 7th, 2024. Hinata was born through in-vitro fertilization. 15 years prior to this, Mitsuru Kirijo was fascinated with how her father, Minato, and her aunt, Minako, were twin siblings and both wielded the Wild Card ability. She approached them about the possibility of allowing the Kirijo Group to study their DNA samples to see if the Potential was hereditary. The Arisato twins agreed and the Kirijo Group were allowed to study their DNA samples. Unfortunately this didn't gain much fruition, but Mitsuru ordered them to be preserved regardless.

Several years after, Mitsuru was being pressured to marry for the sake of an heir. But Mitsuru chose a different option: in-vitro fertilization. However, this got her thinking about Yukari, who after all these years, had never agreed to date another person. The Kirijo Group was able to inject a DNA sample into a dead sperm and that sperm could combined into an egg, allowing a woman to become pregnant from that. During the search for a good sperm donor, Mitsuru started to wonder if Yukari wanted a child. She approached Yukari about this and asked if she would like to have a child through this method.

After thinking about it for several months, Yukari agreed and nine months after the successful operation, Hinata was born. Hinata had a relatively happy childhood, with a mother who was absolutely devoted to her and a group of family friends who loved her dearly. However, despite all that, Hinata also had to deal with bullying, due to the stigma of bastards in Japanese culture. Her friends and family were always there for her though, so Hinata felt that she should be okay, as long as she had their support.

But things changed when her best friend Satomi announced her intention to go study abroad. After Satomi left, Hinata quickly realized that her best friend was like a buffer. It protected her from the worst of bullying. But Hinata managed to get through it; though it helped that her cousin Yukio was very protective of her.

Personality

Affable and friendly, Hinata is a kind-hearted young woman. But in spite of this, Hinata can be rather guarded. She's very cautious about displaying how she feels, preferring to hide her true feelings behind a smile. She has a tendency to put other people's needs above her own. Due to this, she has a tendency to crash hard when she finally can't handle her negative emotions any longer.

While Hinata can be fairly patient, she also has a wicked temper. Hinata is usually kind but watch out when you do make her lose her temper. Hinata can get very snippy and passive aggressive once her temper blows (though that takes a lot for it to happen).

Hinata hates burdening her loved ones. She tries not to think about her negative emotions when she can, but when she does, she broods over them for a long time. She hates talking about them, though, because she feels that she’s just being a problem and bothering others. She especially dislikes talking to her mother about them, as Hinata feels very guilty about the backlash that happened when her mother gave birth to her. Hinata adores her mother, so she doesn’t wish to cause Yukari to worry about her. Hinata has mixed emotions about romance. She longs for it, but she is also deathly afraid of abandonment. Secretly, she wonders if her family is cursed. Both her father and maternal grandfather had died, leaving her mother and grandmother heartbroken.

Hinata is very caring, setting her friends and family’s well-being above her own. She also has a tendency to fuss over her friends, valuing her loved ones above everything else. Hinata has a very loving heart, but she’s very used to being hurt due to people treating her poorly because of her birth. This resulted in her building walls, hiding behind her cheerful personality. She puts a lot of pressure on herself to be there for her loved ones, fearing that they won't want her around otherwise.
