Hibiki Shikyoin (紫京院ひびき Shikyōin Hibiki) is the main antagonist who debuts in the second season of PriPara. Hibiki is a first year in high school and celeb-type idol. Her preferred brand is Brilliant Prince.
Appearance[]
Hibiki has sharp, long-eyelashed, lime-green eyes and short, silver hair worn in a short boyish cut that frames the face. The bangs are long spikes that slope to the side, and she has a noticeable, long curled cowlick.
Personality[]
Hibiki is a cool and charismatic wealthy Prench elite coming from a background in showbiz. She is highly educated, clear-minded, and gentlemanly. She loves the spectacle, mischievously scheming at best, and willingly forgoing morals to achieve her twisted values at worst. She also holds a high standard for herself and those around her, being extremely talented and having a high degree of technical skill in everything she does.
She is in reality very sensitive and struggles admitting her feelings and reading others’. She fears that people will abandon her if she stops performing or giving people a good time as a result of her “friends” abandoning her after her parents disappeared. Despite disregarding feelings and being naïve with hers, Hibiki deeply cares for the ones she loves. Hibiki keeps her word and actually respects skill when she sees it, and she recognizes when she is being irrational.

Fuwari Midorikaze[]
