Summary
Appearances
Event Appearances
Abilities
As a result of her wish, the consciousness or soul of her boyfriend now resides in her mind after he committed suicide, allowing them to mentally communicate. In Arc 2 Another Story Chapter 8, Kanagi confirms his presence, indicating that he is not an illusion or delusion on Himena's part.
Himena's unique magic allows her to "synthesize" or "fuse" the unique magic of other Magical Girls for a limited time (approximately one hour) by making physical contact with each one involved. She can use this ability to transfer one Magical Girl's unique magic to another, such as when she transferred Hagumu Azumi's increased strength against Witches to Shigure Miyabi. In Arc 2 Another Story Chapter 7, she also gains the ability to synthesize magic with inanimate objects, such as Meiyui Chun's illusion magic to a broom.
It can thus be theorized that her wish allows her to access people's souls, not dissimilar from what Coordinators do. Similarly, Coordination gives Magical Girls access to the Connect ability, allowing them to share various aspects of their magic through physical contact.
Etymology
- The characters of her last name mean "indigo" (藍) and "house" (家) respectively.
Trivia
- She is the only character to use a pronoun followed by a suffix that is not her own name. In this case, it means something among the lines of "the cute me", "this cutie" or "my cute self."
- Before she was formally introduced, she was only known through her silhouette in the Arc 2 logo. Fans referred to her as "Orihime" or just "Hime" due to this silhouette before knowing her name.
- In addition, her design has some resemblance to the Legend of Orihime(織姫), specifically her hairstyle and traditional Japanese clothing.
- Furthermore, Hiko, the boyfriend who lives in her head, is speculated by fans to be based on Hoshihiko(星彦) or Hikoboshi(彦星) from that same Japanese fairy tale.

The cold real intention melts in the hot water, and the hot feelings change to steam.
The rising emotions wiped the haze in front of me and exposed my naked self. I'm sure that the coldness and warmth that you feel when you touch the untidy feelings are false. The only thing that is correct is that we are wet with regrettable tears. |
冷たい本音がお湯に溶けて、熱い想いが湯気に変わる 立ち上る感情は目の前の霞を拭い取って裸の自分をさらけ出した きっと、一糸まとわぬ想いに触れて感じる冷たさと温もりは偽りで 正しいのは悔しい涙に濡れていることだけ |
