Sora Hirota is one of the four friends who love gossip, alongside Reo Wakasa, Sakura Ise, and Runa Suruga.
Within the group, she is the precious voice of reason and the one most likely to deliver the comeback when Maron Yanagiwara says something silly.
She has a sarcastic edge, but that is only part of her appeal.
Underneath the dry humor, she is surprisingly serious, steady, and dependable.
Since childhood, Sora has ridden on her family's cruiser and tinkered with engines together with her father.
Seeing the ships of the Blue Mermaids inspired her admiration for machinery-related work aboard vessels.
Because of that, her future is still undecided when it comes to becoming a Blue Mermaid herself.
Her admiration is directed especially toward engine and mechanical duties on ships.
Among her close-knit group, Sora fills the role of the straight woman in the comedy routine.
She seems to believe it is her mission to respond whenever Maron Yanagiwara starts joking around.
Her manner can be cutting and ironic, yet she is also practical and level-headed.
That grounded side shows up clearly in how she handles both school life and games.
Sora's special talent is mahjong.
She plays calmly, advances her hand reliably, and avoids reckless moves.
Because of this careful style, she is consistently one of the winners.
Out of the four rumor-loving friends, she is the one who wins in the steadiest and safest way.
An additional detail about Sora is her favorite color, black.
When combined with the favorite colors of her other three close friends, every color can be represented depending on the combination.
