Sumire’s full apperance.

Sumire stands tall with a slim, graceful figure and long legs that complement her elegant presence. Her hair, a luxurious blonde hime cut, cascades down gracefully, framing her face. With striking melon green eyes that reflect her vibrant personality, she is often seen wearing a red headband that adds a touch of charm. Sumire embodies the ideals of feminine beauty, exuding an effortless, all-around natural allure.

Having spent much of her life in the entertainment world, Sumire believes her knowledge and experience are unparalleled. With a touch of prima donna flair, she assumes that most people already know her name and is deeply connected to the idea of her own stardom. Sumire dreams of becoming a famous school idol—not just in Japan, but “across the galaxy.”

Despite her ambitions, Sumire also takes her duties as a shrine maiden seriously. She often cautions others, like Kanon, against relying on the gods to fulfill their desires, such as helping them become school idols. Instead, she encourages her peers to strive for success together, making their own wishes come true through hard work and determination.

While Sumire initially presents herself as confident and self-assured, this is often a façade. Through various episodes, it’s revealed that she struggles with feelings of being perpetually second place, particularly when her aspirations of becoming world-famous seem out of reach. In Episode 10, Sumire confronts these emotions head-on, acknowledging her vulnerability for the first time. By the end of the episode, she begins to embrace her true self.

Her favorite saying, “Faith will move mountains,” reflects her belief in perseverance, while her energetic catchphrase, “Galaxy~!!!”, captures her larger-than-life dreams.

Sumire has always lived a life steeped in performance, growing up in the spotlight with her parents and younger sister. From a young age, she was thrust into the world of show business, dedicating her formative years to perfecting the craft of entertaining and captivating an audience. In an effort to maintain some semblance of balance, she steered clear of extracurricular activities, focusing instead on her career.

However, upon entering Yuigaoka High, Sumire’s passion for the stage evolved into a new ambition: becoming a school idol. Embracing this dream wholeheartedly, she set her sights on using her experience and talent to shine in this new role. Outside of her idol aspirations, Sumire also lives at a shrine, where she often helps out as a shrine maiden, taking her responsibilities there seriously. Additionally, she has a deep interest in studying Japanese language and history, further fueling her connection to her roots.

Sumire’s name is typically written in hiragana (すみれ), which doesn’t carry a specific meaning. However, when written in kanji (菫), it is associated with the word for “violet,” referring to the delicate flower.

Her surname, Heanna (平安名), carries a deeper meaning. The first character, he (平), translates to “flat,” “broad,” or “level,” symbolizing peace and balance. The second character, an (安), means “peace” or “quiet,” while na (名) signifies “name,” “noted,” “distinguished,” or “reputation.” Though the surname can be found in Okinawa, there’s no indication in the context of the work that Sumire hails from that region. The name likely derives from a place name, where he implies a flat or level area, though the precise meaning of anna remains somewhat ambiguous.
