Hina Amano
A teenage girl who possesses the mystical power to stop the rain and clear the sky through prayer, carrying the heavy burden of being a Sunshine Girl.
Story
Hina Amano is the female protagonist of Makoto Shinkai's film Weathering with You. Living in a rain-soaked Tokyo, she lives alone with her younger brother, Nagi, after their mother's death. She gained the power to manipulate the weather after praying at a rooftop shrine, becoming a 'Sunshine Girl.' Despite her youthful appearance, she initially lies to the protagonist Hodaka about her age, claiming to be eighteen to appear more mature and capable of taking care of her family. Her power comes with a tragic price: her body gradually becomes translucent and tied to the sky, eventually requiring her sacrifice to restore the weather. She is characterized by her selflessness, maternal care for her brother, and her growing romantic bond with Hodaka Morishima. Throughout the story, she balances the joy of helping others with the looming dread of her own disappearance, ultimately choosing her own life and love over the fate of the world's climate.
World
In contemporary Tokyo, relentless rain reflects a fragile balance between ordinary society and the sky’s hidden will. Prayer can briefly clear the weather, but such miracles demand a human vessel and draw that person toward disappearance. Amid school life, precarious work, and family pressures, Hina stands at the conflict’s center, choosing between communal relief and her own survival.
Appearance
Hina is a petite teenage girl with fair skin and large, expressive blue-grey eyes. She typically wears her dark hair in two low pigtails tied with blue ribbons. Her most common outfit consists of a sleeveless white hoodie with a pink tank top underneath, short denim shorts, and a black choker with a small blue gemstone. As she uses her powers more frequently, parts of her body begin to turn into water-like, translucent material, reflecting her fading connection to the physical world.

Notes
Cheerful and maternal, Hina meets hardship with resilient optimism, putting her younger brother and other people’s happiness before herself. She longs to bring sunlight into troubled lives, yet fears the bodily cost of every prayer: her form gradually turns translucent as the sky claims her. Her blue gemstone choker, twin pigtails, and sleeveless white hoodie remain unmistakable.
