Kurusugawa, Himeko

来栖川姫子

Himeko, the Solar Priestess, is a very shy and innocent 16-year-old girl who receives the most attention in the anime. Initially, she harbors affections for Sōma Ōgami, her childhood friend. She considers Chikane a very close friend, although the two rarely meet outside of secrecy. Himeko is a skilled amateur photographer, a hobby she developed thanks to the support she receives from Chikane Himemiya. At first, Himeko is a shy and timid girl, uncertain of her own worth and abilities. This is mainly because, after the death of her birth parents, she was initially adopted by abusive relatives before being moved to other relatives. At school, Himeko seems to have only one friend (besides Souma and Chikane), her dorm roommate Makoto.
