Hobbies:
Gaming || Hina loves single-player RPGs and video games in general. She spends hours on the damn things, which doesn’t help her social life. She really enjoys how you can be just about anyone, and how you, as an individual or a small party, are strong enough to save the world. That, and she adores a good narrative (though when it comes to games, her definition of "good" can be a bit stretchable.) Possibly the only thing that eclipses her nerdlove of video games, and a favorite of hers for the same reasons, Hina also loves tabletop games. Tabletop games are like RPGs played with other people, at least in Hina's mind. Hina has a collection of sourcebooks for games from first edition D&D to Vampire: The Requiem to Call of Cthulhu to Paranoia and is horribly superstitious about her dice. (Do not even breathe on them incorrectly.) She prefers to play rather than GM, because she likes really getting into the story.
Writing & Reading || Hina is a writer. Her room, specifically the sheer number of half-used notebooks scattered all over it, will attest to that. She’s alright, mostly because of the amount of reading she does and the amount of practice she’s had. Just like she loves being the hero of a story in a video game or tabletop RPG, she loves weaving a story herself, creating a world and saving it through her pen rather than her mouse or her dice. Along with that, she absolutely loves a good book. She can get utterly lost in one and not come up for hours. Her interests range from Jane Austen to H.P. Lovecraft to Ann Rule, and if you offer her a book that has an at all tempting plot, she’s likely to try it just to see how it goes. It's a good way for her to relax and kick back when she doesn't feel like swinging swords at ogres/coeruls/really dumb bandits/whatever.
The Occult || Recently, Hina has taken an interest in all things occult. It's more of a "secret" hobby, since she's all but certain her parents wouldn't approve, but she's picked up a set of tarot cards and a number of books on the subject, and while she's not entirely sure she believes in all this stuff, she's definitely curious about it. It stemmed from reading The Serpent and the Rainbow, and an understanding that it was likely a highly inaccurate portrayal of voodoo. Once she started learning, she got more and more into it. She mostly researches it, but she does occasionally do tarot readings for her friends. As a rule, she tends to be rather skeptical, but she has been becoming less so recently.
Virtues:
Protective || Hina is very protective of her friends and family, and she would do most anything to keep them safe. They are the most important things to her, and she will always put the safety and happiness of a friend or family member before her own. Since she can be something of a prickly, blunt person, she doesn't have very many close friends, and so she treasures the ones she has with all her heart.
Determined || If she starts something, Hina is going to finish it. She is very focused and dedicated, and refuses to let anything get in her way. This is the only reason she still has good grades despite her RPG obsession. She drives her way through school and homework the same way she does anything else.
Caring || If you come to her with a problem, Hina will always offer a sympathetic ear and a warm hug. She truly, deeply cares about her friends and family, and she is not afraid to be the shoulder to cry on if they need it. Since their happiness always comes before hers, she doesn't mind shouldering the burden of their problems if it gets that weight off them. However, her willingness to do this heavily depends on how close to the person she is. Hinata is much more the cuddly caring teddy bear to people she is close to, who have proven themselves worthy of her trust by poking their way through the spines to find the metaphorical adorable hedgehog underneath.
Flaws:
Obstinate || Hinata is like a dog with a bone-she cannot let things go. Even if it would be better to cut her losses and get out, she will try to take something through to the end, because she hates giving up or leaving things unfinished, ever. This means that sometimes she will end up in way, way over her head, though she is not too prideful to ask for help if she really needs it.
Short-Sighted || Hina doesn't always think about the consequences of her actions or words. She will jump into things feet first without taking time to plan beforehand, or to consider any possible aftereffects of what she's done. She will also be very nasty and sarcastic without considering what affect that might have on the other person or her relationship with them, especially if she thinks you're acting like an idiot. Friends and family get a bit less of her verbal nastiness, as she's willing to put up with a lot more from people she's close to, but acquaintances or strangers will get the full sharp edge of her tongue. This tends to really hurt her chances of befriending people, and only those who can take her criticism get to see the softer side of her. While she does feel bad if she hurts her friends' feelings this way, she doesn't necessarily care about a strangers'.
Walls Around Her Heart || Before she lets people in, Hina's first thought is to push people away. She tends to assume that they aren't going to be worth the emotional investment she makes in all of her close friends, which is part of the reason she is so cuttingly sarcastic at first. She prefers not to let people in and invest in them emotionally until they've proven they're worth it.
