Hyouka: Mayaka Ibara

Mayaka is strict with others and herself. She is short and has brown hair that extends just past her ears and pinkish-purple eyes.

She has been in the same class with Houtarou for nine years, since their first grade in elementary school. She has an interest in Fukube, which is what leads her to join the classic literature club. She is also a member of Library and Manga Society. She has a blunt and frank personality, and she usually makes nicknames for some of her friends (i.e: Fuku-chan, Chi-chan).
