* CannotSpitItOut: Regarding her feelings toward Hiro.

'''School Year:''' Third Year

* DanceBattler: Hinata's battle style involves a lot of flips, a strong influence from her practicing gymnastics.
* DeadpanSnarker: Not so much on the deadpan, but very heavy on the snarking. She prefers to be very cheerful about her sarcasm.

* TheLancer: Plays this role to Satomi's Hero.
* MeaningfulName: Hinata's name means sunflower and she's the most cheerful out of her friends, showcasing how she's TheHeart.
* ObliviousToLove: Played with. It seems at first that she is clueless about the boys' attentions towards her, but then it's revealed that she was feigning this, because some of the boys' attentions made her uncomfortable [[spoiler: especially since they were propositioning her about sex.]]
* PinkIsFeminine: Her favorite color is pink and she's probably the girliest girl out of the team.
* RedMage: Hinata has a focus on ice magic, but she's a rather competent healer as well.
