Affiliation	Class 1-D, Advanced Nurturing High School 6
Occupation/Role	Student
First Appearance	Chapter 3 3

Background / History

Horikita begins the school year determined to remain independent. She refuses to surrender her bus seat because of her own convictions and rejects being grouped with Ayanokoji as an “isolationist.” 4

She is placed beside Uchiha in Class 1-D, an arrangement she immediately resents. His narcissistic behavior and remarks provoke her into threatening him with a compass, though she later admits that his presence makes it difficult for her to focus on studying. 6 7

During the opening ceremony, Horikita reacts emotionally to Student Council President Horikita Manabu’s speech, establishing her connection to him as his younger sister. 13 33 At Kushida’s café meeting, she sees through Kushida’s attempt to arrange a deliberate group encounter and firmly states that she has not needed friends since kindergarten, regarding friendship as a potential burden. 33

Horikita later recognizes Uchiha as someone from her past, though the nature of that history remains unrevealed. 34

Appearance

Horikita is a long-haired, black-haired beauty with a composed, severe bearing. She is commonly seen reading and carries a compass in her pencil case. 3 7

• Long, straight black hair. 3 11
• Often maintains a cold or visibly irritated expression around Uchiha. 6 33
• Frequently reads novels or studies during class. 6 30
• Keeps a compass on hand and has used it to threaten or stab others when angered. 7 91

Personality

Horikita is highly independent, blunt, and academically driven. She considers social dependence inefficient, preferring to devote her time to study rather than building friendships. Her suspicion of Kushida’s café arrangement shows strong attention to detail: she remembers the Class D girls who left without ordering and notices the seating pattern around the table. 33

Her self-control weakens around Uchiha. She is repeatedly irritated by his arrogance and unexpected abilities, from his mathematics solution to his English proficiency. Nevertheless, she recognizes when she is wrong and later warns him to keep a lower profile because Class C’s delinquents may target him. 49 90 91

“Since kindergarten, this has continued for thirteen years. I don't need friends.” 33

Abilities & Skills

Academic Ability

Horikita is a serious student who takes particular pride in English and carefully maintains her workbook.

• Her confidence in English is challenged when Uchiha correctly identifies an error in the answer key. 90 91

Observation and Reasoning

Horikita is attentive to people and her surroundings, particularly when she suspects manipulation.

Relationships

Story Role / Major Arcs

Early Class 1-D Conflict

Café Meeting

Kushida brings Horikita, Uchiha, and Ayanokoji together at Pallet in an attempted friendship-building meeting. Horikita sees through the setup, clashes with Uchiha over his blind-date question and Manabu’s student-council recruitment, and reiterates that she does not need friends. 33

Race and Uchiha’s Rise

Horikita prepares strategically for the school race and later observes Uchiha’s extraordinary speed. His subsequent marathon performance against Dongshan leaves her increasingly unable to account for his rapid improvement. 36 38 45

Academic Disputes

Horikita first underestimates Uchiha’s mathematics ability, then later disputes his corrections to her English workbook. After verifying the contested English answer with a teacher, she returns visibly shaken and asks how many more “trump cards” he possesses. 49 90 91

School Fire

After Uchiha survives a four-story fall while rescuing trapped students, Horikita is left speechless by his resilience and describes him as possessing both godlike power and physique. 87
