I'm strong now ... I'm strong because Macchan taught me how to be ... So as Sirenity's leader, I refuse to back down!

much like Mae's, Ria's branch of the Hiiragi family is rich, but unlike hers, her parents are very open and made sure she'd grow up like any other kid. she goes to public high school and works part-time at a maid café, and her general demeanour is rather quiet. instead of using her family's name to gain authority, she's very wary of being unfair, to the point where it makes her kind of a doormat.

Ria's body may be small, but her guitar riffs are big. she's a major band nerd and the louder the music is, the more she gets into it, so she's practiced the guitar pretty much all her life to become just like the musicians she admires. she can play plenty of Roselia's & Gyroaxia's songs by heart at this point, though she truly shines when she gets to improvise and make the songs Kaede wrote for Sirenity her own.

ever since meeting her at a family gathering when she was young, she's been close friends with Mae and is the only one who gets to call her Macchan. even before starting the band, the two of them used to play & sing together every so often - Ria is one of the few people Mae considers equal to herself in terms of musical skill.

as the leader of Sirenity, she's slowly been becoming more confident in herself and the band, aiming to represent them properly as the best band they could possibly be.
