6	[[folder:Himeno Awayuki]]
7	!!!'''Voiced by:'' Sayuri Yoshida (JP), Creator/LuciChristian (EN)
8
9	The sixteen year old heroine of Prétear, After her mother's death and her father's remarriage, Himeno is thrust into a high-class society life where she has trouble adjusting. She meets Hayate and the Leafe Knights, who tell her that she's the Prétear who is needed to save the world.
10	----
11	* ActionGirl: She's a real hot-blooded girl sometimes.
12	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Himeno chooses cranky, abrasive Hayate over friendly, approachable Sasame. [[spoiler: Arguably subverted once Sasame does his FaceHeelTurn in the anime.]]
13	* AllLovingHeroine: While hotheaded, Himeno is generally forgiving of others and likes mostly everyone. [[spoiler: When Takako is taken by the tree in the final episode, Himeno attempts to save her rather than leave her to die, saying that the current issue is no one’s fault and that everyone just wanted to be loved. She’s not even mad that moments ago, Takako just attempted to kill everyone.]]
14	* BelligerentSexualTension: With Hayate.
15	* BerserkButton: She is [[MegatonPunch not fond]] of Hayate's nickname for her.
16	* BettyAndVeronica: She plays two roles in two different triangles: the Archie to Hayate's Veronica and Sasame's Betty, and [[SubvertedTrope (at least initially)]] the Veronica to Sasame's Archie and Mawata's Betty.
17	* {{BFG}}: The Ice Arquebus.
18	* BigEater: Hayate tries to test her endurance by placing her in front of a table full of sweets and seeing how long she can last without eating them. She scarfs down the entire spread before he can finish explaining the challenge.
19	* TheChosenOne: She was chosen by fate to bear the mantle of Pretear and all the responsibilities that come with it.
20	* ElementalPowers
21	** AnIcePerson

30	* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Sanguine.
31	* GenkiGirl
32	* GreenThumb: She is shown to take remarkably good care of her beloved flowers.
33	* HeroicSelfDeprecation
34	* TheHeroine: The main character and the titular Pretear.
35	* HeroWithBadPublicity: In the first episode, some girls falsely claim that her father is a {{Gold Digger}} who married Natsue for money. They also believe she is snobbish and state that she isn’t good enough to be around her stepsisters.
36	* HotBlooded: Played with. She's fired up when her mind's set on something, but her own emotional and self-esteem issues prevent her from being all too eager to just jump in at any time, especially with regards to her job as the Pretear.
37	* LuminescentBlush: From time to time, especially whenever the boys are just too close for comfort with her.
38	* MagicalGirl: Slightly different from the usual Magical Girl in that her powers change depending on whom she préts with.
39	* NaiveNewcomer: She has a lot of trouble adjusting to the expectations in her new life of wealth.
40	* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: A variation of this. She gets different powers when she prets with different Knights.
41	* NiceGirl: While she has her limits, she's overall pretty kind to people around her, even to her stepsister Mawata, who, before CharacterDevelopment kicked in, was pretty cold and a bit of a {{Jerkass}} towards her.
42	* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent
43	* PluckyGirl
44	* RefusalOfTheCall: She initially didn't want to take the Leafe Knights' offer of becoming the Pretear because she believed that they were just fooling her into "making her feel good about herself". Hayate's attitude towards her didn't exactly help their case. Thankfully, she relents just in time and accepts becoming the Pretear.
45	* SirSwearsALot: In some fansubs, though it never really crosses PrecisionFStrike territory.
46	* StepfordSmiler: She may appear cheerful and energetic on the outside, but it's made apparently clear that it's a coping mechanism she uses as a response to her family issues and her own emotional problems.
47	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She's very tomboyish compared to her stepsisters, especially Mayune, the girly girl.
48	* TransformationSequence

53
54	Himeno's father and a former author of romance novels.
55	----
56	* GoldDigger: Himeno's meanspirited classmates think he's this, having married the wealthy Natsune, and bully Himeno over it. In truth, he's HappilyMarried to Natsue to the point where they're SickeninglySweethearts.
57	%% * HappilyMarried: To Natsue.
58	%% * LetsGetDangerous

69	----
70	%% * HappilyMarried: To Kaoru. It's almost sickly-sweet how much those two are in love.
71	* IOwnThisTown: In the anime, all businesses in town are affiliated to Natsue's business conglomerate. After marrying Kaoru, she renames the businesses and the town after him.
72	* ParentsAsPeople: Likewise. She does attempt to be kind to her stepdaughter in her own way, but she's quite disconnected from her and her own daughters.
73	* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: In the manga storyline, Natsue is the [=CEO=] of a cosmetics company but this fact is rarely stated and the only time she's ever seen doing something related to that is during a flashback from when she asked her butler to test one product. One of the other few times her job is mentioned has Himeno comment that "at least she's supposed to be".
74	%% * SickeninglySweethearts: With Kaoru.
75	%% * WickedStepmother: Moreso in the manga than the anime.

84	* BlasphemousBoast: She claims she's "more beautiful than a goddess", and she just ''LOVES'' to rub it in.
85	* HateSink: To an extent for most of the series. Mawata is too aloof and caught up in her issues to bother with bullying Himeno. Mayune, on the other hand, delights in trying to make Himeno's life miserable; she also goes out of her way to mock Himeno for coming from a lower-class family.
86	* LovableAlphaBitch: She ''seems'' to be a bitch, but she's really not so bad. In fact, in the anime [[spoiler:she actually tears up and screams in horror when it looks Himeno has died.]]

136	----
137	* AdaptationalHeroism: While not a villain, Hayate’s anime counterpart is a bit different than his manga counterpart in terms of how he handled the situation with Takako. In the anime Takako became the Princess of Disaster [[spoiler:because Hayate rejected her]] whereas in the manga she became the Princess of Disaster [[spoiler:because he lied about having feelings for her]]. While both are sad situations, his actions in the former are ''nowhere'' near as bad as in the latter.

145	%%* DeadpanSnarker

147	* FailureKnight: [[spoiler:Takako's fate has left him determined to fight without a Prétear rather than put another girl through the same risk. It also makes him overprotective of Himeno, in spite of his harshness toward her.]]
148	* HiddenHeartOfGold: Is initially harsh and cruel to Himeno, but gradually reveals a softer side.
149	* IneffectualLoner: Hayate attempts to do things on his own, even asserting in the beginning of the series that a Prétear wasn’t needed. It never works out.
150	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He’s harsh, rude, and abrasive. Deep down, he cares a lot for Himeno and the other Knights.

152	* LongHairedPrettyboy: Has long hair and is repeatedly noted to be attractive by other characters.
153	* ManlyTears: [[spoiler:In the final anime episode, when he finds that Himeno has died in due to giving up all her Leafe to satisfy the tree. She awakens when he kisses her.]]
154	* MeaningfulName: Hayate can mean "fresh breeze". Fittingly, he's the Knight of the Wind.
155	* MrFanservice: Good-looking, [[{{Tsundere}} abrasive personality that hides a softer side]], cool powers.
156	* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:He blames himself for Takako's fall and her transformation into the Princess of Disaster, because he wasn't able to return her feelings but led her on rather than risk rejection interfering with her ability to fight as Prétear.]]

In the anime adaptation, Sasame confesses that he had loved her all along; she doesn't return his feelings but has him become her Knight of Darkness and orders him to kill Hayate.
