Personality
Ōka is very popular and outgoing, easily able to make friends of any gender. She is the ace of the school swim team while simultaneously ranking as one of the top students in their entire school, second only to her older sister Seiha Shiunji. Her ranking in academics is mainly due to her ability to put in hard work.
While kind hearted to most people, she tends to be rather feisty with Arata as the “twins” regularly butt heads. Despite this, the two share a close bond and it’s stated that they had many moments in their childhood where their thoughts and actions were so in sync that friends assumed that it must be some kind of twin psychic connection. The bond between them is very special to her.
