Hibiki Chihana (響ちはな) is one of the 5 main characters in Generation 2 of the Lucky Besties series. Her alter ego is Lucky Aria and her theme color is white.

Personality
Chihana is a very shy girl, who struggles with showing emotions and communicating with people. Her face is always emotionless and she doesn't have any true friends. She seems to space out a lot, and is very awkward. Simple concepts confuse her greatly, and she's very absent minded. Chihana enjoys the company of her siblings, especially her older sister, Nami, who she has a strong bond with. She loves music, and is very talented at composing. She normally composes on her computer using a program. She has a very cute appearance, which makes her loved by everyone. The "friends" she has only like her because of her talents or her appearance. She's also very smart, and is able to do equations that other students in her grade would find complicated easily and quickly. Even though she's shy and has a one-track memory, she treasures her true friends deeply and the memories she makes with them, though sometimes she's prone to teasing her friends.

Lucky Aria
'''Everlasting and updating! Deliver my melody! Play, Lucky Aria!''' '''Always changing, a brand-new melody plays every day! I'm Lucky Aria! (Dub only)'''

Trivia

 * Unlike other Lucky Besties with music-themed powers, Aria doesn't focus on singing, instead focusing on electronic/computer music. However, like most other Lucky Besties with music-themed powers, Chihana sings during her transformation and is the only G2 Lucky Bestie to do so, as Lunar's powers focus more on space and time rather than music. Outside of transformation, Chihana doesn't sing much at all, and also doesn't have many character songs. Her powers and attacks are also not themed after idols unlike Harmony, Starlight, and Etolie, instead being themed after orchestras, conducting, and computer/electronic music.
 * Chihana is the youngest G2 Lucky Bestie.
 * Chihana is also the shortest G2 Lucky Bestie, as Hikari is taller than her.
 * Her siblings go to a school nearby, Yoakegaoka Academy, which focuses on college prep and has a division for middle school and high school. Haruna and Nami are in the high school division while Umi is in the middle school division.
