Chika Homura

Chika Homura (穂村 千夏 'Homura Chika'?) is a first year high school student. She is a beginner flute player and a member of the wind instrument club. Her dream is to go to the "Koshien" of wind music competitions: the "Fumonkan." She is worried about the love triangle she is in with Haruta, as both are in love with the rookie band teacher, Mr. Kusakabe.

Appearance
Chika is a beautiful teenage girl with long, purple black hair that reaches to her waist and bright purple eyes. She is usually seen with her school uniform.

Personality
Chika, although previously known as cold and intimidating to many, wishes to change her aura to that of a more feminine type. She seems to have a tsunderepersonality, which has lingered since her early years. Chika is the kind of person that takes a while to catch on to subjects but stays focused on it when she gets the hang of it. When she's around Haruta, Chika tends to act rudely and carelessly towards him.

Background
Chika, in her childhood, was a rambunctious and careless girl. She's known Haruta since that age. In junior high school, she was a powerful member of the volleyball club, after switching to a wind band to get a more feminine feel from herself.

Haruta Kamijou
Haruta has been friends with Chika in their childhood, with Chika always dragging him in her adventures and bullying him at times. He later becomes Chika's classmate during band class coincidentally.
