Harada, Chie

原田千絵

Chie Harada is a classmate of Mai Tokiha, whom she sits directly behind, and Yuuichi Tate. On Mai's first day, she extends her friendship by introducing herself with playful pokes to Mai's sides. She frequently uses her cell phone's camera to conduct interviews and is constantly hunting for new school gossip, a trait that evolves into a running gag regarding her character. Alongside Aoi Senou, she appears in an omake as super deformed versions of themselves to provide a rundown of their class, categorizing Mai within the "Biggest Breast Ranking".
Following the progression of the HiME festival events to a point where they become dangerous enough for Fuuka students to be dismissed, Chie and Aoi reluctantly leave Mai behind, despite the other girl's insistence that she can manage on her own. Ultimately, they return and are last seen at a picnic with the resurrected HiME.
