Miyako Hinano

Hinano Miyako is one of the original characters of the 2017 mobile game Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record She may look young but Hinano is a seasoned Magical Girl. She has a mind for science and is president of the chemistry club. Although popular with the younger crowd, she is often made fun of for her childish stature. She strives to be more "mature." Hinano an 18 year old high school girl, confesses to a boy at her school. The boy says she's not her type, crushing Hinano. Later Emiri Kisaki helps Hinano with an experiment. Emiri says that Hinano is a lot more subdued than she usually is. Emiri offers to take Hinano for a group blind date. Hinano ignores her. Emiri says that a guy who rejects on her appearance isn't worth it, and there are others out there. When Emiri brings up that some people like Hinano's body type, Hinano tells her to shut up. She then starts crying. Hinano says Emiri always looks down on her, but Emiri says it's an expression of love. Hinano says that Emiri doesn't treat her with respect, especially since she's 18 while Emiri is 13. She tells Emiri to reflect on her attitude, but Emiri says she's still taller, and claims Hinano is cute. Hinano wonders why she has someone like Emiri as an assistant. A flashback reveals Hinano helped Emiri out against a witch. Emiri thanked Hinano profusely, but then wondered if she was a grade-schooler. An angry Hinano insisted she's a high school girl, which shocked Emiri. Emiri was surprised to find Hinano was a magical girl for five years. She asked Hinano what she normally did, and Hinano answered that she's the president of the science club. Emiri called her cute, which annoyed Hinano. Emiri said she was still in middle school, and asked Hinano about high school science classes and then asked what she does at the science club. Hinano said she holds events for children and performs on stage at the grade school. Emiri compared her to a scientist on television. She then asked to become Hinano's assistant, as she was excited to perform on stage. She also said she took a liking to Hinano. Hinano pointed out it's dangerous, but Emiri just hugged her really hard. Later, Emiri practices a speech for one of Hinano's presentations. She explains that Hinano's father works in a chemical plant and took her to see science events. She claims it inspired Hinano to hold science events of her own. She finishes the speech by saying that Hinano can get emotional when reaching her dreams, and that the stage for the event is in an elementary school classroom. Hinano asks Emiri what she's doing in a master of ceremonies position. Emiri says not to worry and takes a peak outside. The children are waiting in the hall, and Hinano begins her presentation. Hinano uses hydrogen peroxide and dishwashing detergent to entertain the elementary school students. Emiri says the presentation was a success. Suddenly a girl takes a dangerous chemical. Hinano and Emiri try to stop her, but the girl insists on taking it. Suddenly all the children start saying they want the chemical. Hinano suddenly notices all of the children have witch kisses. Emiri decides for "Pretty Guardians! Chemistry Twins!" Hinano nearly goes along with it, but then says it's not the time. Hinano says they should split up to find the witch. Emiri agrees, before realizing what Emiri actually said. Hinano points out the barrier is likely in the school, and splitting up to search will be more efficient. She tells Emiri she won't be alone, and she'll come running if something happens. Emiri says she believes in Hinano and the two begin the search. Later, Emiri telepathically contacts Hinano and says she's found the witch. She doesn't see anything going on in the barrier. Hinano tells her to wait until she arrives, but Emiri says it'll be fine if she goes on the offensive. Hinano says she should get out if it's too dangerous. Suddenly, Emiri notices the teacher was pulled into the barrier. The teacher is holding iron sulfide and hydrochloric acid. Emiri recognizes that they can combine to form hydrogen sulfide, which Hinano says is an extremely toxic gas. Hinano tells Emiri to run, and starts thinking the witch is a science nerd. In her narration, Hinano says that using science to kill others is unforgivable. Hinano enters the barrier and fights off familiars. When Hinano telepathically contacts Emiri, she finds Emiri is choking on the sulfide fumes. Emiri says she just wanted to beat something without Hinano's help, in order to make Hinano proud. Hinano tells Emiri to get out of there, but Emiri apologizes for having to rely on Hinano again. Suddenly Emiri is attacked by the witch. Emiri wonders if she could be saved if she was smaller like Hinano. Hinano calls out to Emiri, but gets no answer. In a flashback, Hinano yells at Emiri for improperly handling chemicals. Hinano explains that she became a magical girl because she wasn't careful during an experiment and released a toxic gas. If she hadn't met Kyubey she would have died. When Emiri asks why that happened, Hinano says she was just a thoughtless kid, doing dangerous things just to amuse herself. She says she quit doing dangerous things a long time ago, calling it a moment of growth. Back in the present, Hinano finds her way is blocked by rubble. She is able to slip through a narrow crevice, and mentally thinks this is the only time she'll be grateful for a small body. Finally confronting the witch, she destroys it and saves Emiri. Emiri apologizes for not being useful, but Hinano calls her an idiot. She says she's already proud of Emiri. Afterward, Emiri says it was strange how the witch appeared without them sensing it. Hinano says she believes Emiri would have overlooked it if she wasn't there. Hinano then says she was kidding, but as magical girls they need to be focused at all times. Emiri said she was happy Hinano cried for her. Hinano insists she wasn't. Emiri said it was just like when they first met, and says she really respects Hinano. Hinano says Emiri always mocks her, but Emiri insists she doesn't and wants to rely on Hinano even in desperate situations. She then brings up Hinano's size, and gives her a "cheek rubbing penalty". Hinano wonders if Emiri has gone mad.
