Early Life
The legendary Holy priestess Reimiya has made a name for herself in the Kansai area of Japan. Her notoriety/popularity stems from the legend surrounding her mysterious birth. Tourists and those in search of spiritual solace are both drawn to this tale. She maintains the Reimiya family tradition of caring for the shrine as her parents did before her.
Driven by a need to challenge herself, she submitted an application to Heavenly Born Academy. She entered the academy as the Super High School Level Shrine Maiden, a position granted to her by the gods.

Appearance
Personality
“ When you're born into the Reimiya Family, your name is the most important thing in the world. ” Inori is the daughter of the head family guarding the shrine, yet she is the only one of her kin who puts her own needs above those of her family. Many see her as a compassionate person who will never leave anyone in need of guidance. Just being in her presence or looking into her eyes can soothe the mind and the emotions. But she would rather have her "shrine maiden persona" treated apart from the rest of her identity. As "Inori", she is carefree and unpredictable, with interests that shift from time to time. She is far more accepting of people's varied perspectives than her conservative family is. She has never had any trouble maintaining two identities simultaneously because she is adjusts well in a wide variety of social situations.
Talent
Super High School Level Shrine Maiden
Reimiya had to undergo intensive training specific to the kuchiyose Miko at a young age to become a proper shaman. She learned the techniques to control her trance state, which can be done by rituals. The rituals include washing her body with cold water, regular purifying, abstinence, and observation of the common taboos like death, illness, and blood. She was also trained to be a medium of gods and spirits of the deceased. This was achieved by chanting and dancing. Thus, Reimiya was taught melodies and intonations used in songs, prayers, and magical formulas, supported by drums and rattlers.
People visiting her shrine believe that exchanging smiles with her could guarantee their prayers to come true soon. They rever Reimiya as their benevolent protector who bridges them from the worldly realm to paradise.
