Hikari Konohana

Hikari Konohana is a secondary character in Strawberry Panic!. Much like Nagisa Aoi, Hikari is a transfer student who arrives at Spica in the second year. In that same year, she joined the St. Spica Choir (also known as the Saintly Chorus) with Yaya Nanto (Hikari's best friend and roommate). Hikari has mid-back length platinum-blonde hair that has bangs hanging over her forehead, blue eyes and an average height. Hikari is a rather shy and quiet girl most of the time who tends to not be very outspoken and it usually takes a lot for her to say what is really on her mind. She tends to be a physically weak girl who is fairly easy to be taken advantage of, much to her dismay. Unpleasant experiences related to her vulnerability seem to have inspired some fear of unexpected physical proximity in her. However, she does have friends that look out for her well being and she also seems to be very religious where she can be seen praying within the church or at the Spica fountain with a statue depicting the Virgin Mary on the school grounds. She watches everything from a distance and has a minimal occurrence in the series, but despite her shyness she has a lot of friends. With Yaya Nanto, Tamao Suzumi and Nagisa Aoi, they meet will often find small tea parties where it particularly has its focus on Spica's Amane Ōtori down. By chance, gets the chance to meet them alone and get to know them a little closer.
