Himemiya often refered to as, Hī-sama was the middle school's principal. She is Masachika Shiki's relative and expected him to take over as the academy's protector. Currently, Shiki has taken over her mantle of middle school principal. She is referred as the MSP by fans, (Middle School Principal).
Appearance and Personality
Hii-sama was regarded as beautiful woman, with long wavy hair that fall down her back. She usually wears Japanese traditional clothes; mainly the kimono with hairpins on her hair. She always seen with fan in her hand, and sometimes hides her lower jaw with her fan or her kimono sleeve, a sign of politeness in manners. In the anime, she had green eyes and green-like hair while in the manga her hair is black and her eye color is unknown. In Gakuen Alice vol.24, she was seen in cover page of the manga wearing western clothes and accompanied by Shizune Yamanouchi.
Despite of her beautiful apperances, she was famously known to dislike men and only interested in women and girls; this was shown that during Hanahime-Den Arc, while she was praising Hotaru for her beauty look, she was seen drooling and had some strange fantasy, which both of these acts were scold by Shizune and shocking her guests. This had make Hotaru thought that she was a freak (which causing the Flower princesses and Mikan shock), and was comfirm by Shizune as a weirdo.
Despite of her weird interest, all the members of Hanahime respected her very much. She can be very intimidating and is feared by many people. She however, does care for the people important to her such as Kaoru, Yuka, Shiki and Mikan. She objected to Shiki losing freedom just like her and the HSP, showing that she actually cares for others as well.
Story
Before Story
Kaoru Hyūga took Yuka Azumi to Hī-sama so that Yuka will be protected from the ESP if she gains her trust. Kaoru explained that Yuka's Alice can be useful if she can learn to be able to place Alice Stones in other people. This made Hī-sama become interested and let Yuka try this ability to maintain her life. Shiki gave Yuka one of his Alice Stone when Yuka escaped to the outside world.
Hana Hime Arc
Hī-sama does not like men or Persona and does not let one get near her. She is the one who created the Hana Hime Festival and resides in the Hana Hime Den. Hī-sama invited both Mikan Sakura, who won the chance to go and Hotaru Imai who was invited to the festival along with Ruka Nogi and Natsume Hyūga, because of the unfortunate incident involving them getting stuck with Mikan and Hotaru. When she is face to face with Hotaru she comments about her beauty and smarts and then drools. As Natsume leaves to go to the restroom Hī-sama warns him not to wander in strange areas. Her dislike of Persona is relevant, because she laughed when Persona was hurt by his own alice when she weakened the barrier around Mikan.
High School Division Arc
She was there waiting for Mikan and Natsume to come and explained that their friends are alright and that the ESP did not know that they were here. Hī-sama is unamused with the "stray dog" (Hayate Matsudaira) in her presence, since he was left behind when the group time traveled. She gives him a tea flavored drink that means in Kyoto "Here now leave". Shizune Yamanōchi manages to convince her to keep Hayate as a chore boy, because of how useful he can be. Youichi Hijiri, after much struggle manages to get to her den. She doesn't show much reaction and Shizune asks if something is wrong with her, but Hī-sama doesn't answer. During the ESP's attack she and Shiki helped everyone by creating barriers. After this Hī-sama lossens her barrier around Hana Hime Den, which causes Hayami to know about the traitor among them. Hī-sama tells Hayate and Youichi to go aide Mikan's group despite the fact that she usually wouldn't interfere. She is doing this, so the same things that happened in the past won't happen again, like the death of "Crimson Rose", Kaoru Hyūga. She leaves and appears weak saying she has lived long enough and says to Hayate and Youichi that she is relying on both of them.
Striking a deal with the ESP her relative, Shiki is taking her place as the academy's protecter. As of Chapter 139 it appears she is getting better, from Shizune's words.
Final Arc
Her relative Shiki has taken over her mantle of middle school principal. She becomes irriated when she goes visits Shiki due to the fact that the Dangerous Ability Class is now under Shiki's control. She voices that the "dogs" have muliplied, (Hayate, Rui, Youichi, and Yakumo).
During the Christmas party, she, along with her co-workers, say that Shiki letting Mikan watch the party on a monitor is cruel, because it only makes her sad. She knows that Shiki opened the barrier to let Mikan and Natsume see each other, and once he closes it, she says that those two children (Mikan and Natsume) may not see each other again. She is also aware that the chaos from the ESP is soon to come.
Alice
Hī-sama has a strong Barrier Alice that is why she is called "the academy's protecting goddess". The Dangerous Ability students, Nastume, Tsubasa, and the others were affected by her Alice, since they were at her den, causing their Alice abilities to weaken. When Yuka came into the academy, she weakened the barrier around her, because of their past relations.
Her relative, Masachika Shiki inherited her strong Alice, and was mentioned as the long-waiting successor of Hii-sama.
