She is a second-year student at Private Aria Academy and is in the same class as Kanade. Hibiki's alter ego is Cure Melody. Hibiki is a bright, albeit somewhat klutzy girl who carries a strong sense of justice. She's very bold and outgoing, though she has a tendency for hot-bloodedness that often manifests as a dislike of losing. She has a distaste for underhanded tactics, believing hard work and effort must be put into things to get them right. Though usually happy-go-lucky and energetic, when angered or faced with a tough situation, Hibiki has a tendency to become more subdued and serious.
