Shōjikina Hyoudou

"H-Harem Queen?! W-well, it's true that I like guys and girls, b-but that's just going over the top!"

- Shōjikina Hyoudou Shōjikina Hyoudou is the main female protagonist of "High School DxD: Reality Check." She is a second-year student at Kuoh Academy and is a member of the school's Kendo Team. She is good friends with fellow club members Katase and Murayama, as well as Aika Kiryuu.

She is a member of the Occult Research Club, and her rank in Rias' Peerage is a [Pawn]. Her powers as a Devil rank at bottom initially, but is revealed to have an incredible talent for magic. She is also wields the Sacred Gear Boosted Gear on her left arm, making her a dangerous opponent to underestimate. Due to being around many beautiful and/or handsome individuals, and her later-revealed bisexual preference, she has been dubbed the "Harem Queen" by her classmates. She is the "Issei Hyoudou" of her universe.

Appearance
Shōjikina is a 17-year-old high school student of average height with short, messy brown hair and light blue eyes, which she inherited from her grandmother.

While she has worn many different outfits through out the story, her most commonly seen outfit is her Kuoh Academy uniform. She is something of a tomboy, thus she prefers to wear men's clothing. Her uniform is the boys' attire, which consists of a black blazer with white accents over a white, long-sleeve dress shirt with black highlights and a black ribbon on the collar, matching black pants, and brown dress shoes. However, her uniform is slightly altered, with the first few buttons being undone, exposing a fair amount of her cleavage, and wears a black leather jacket over her blazer, and replaces her dress shoes with black shoes bearing red highlights.

At the end of Volume 2, Shōjikina's left arm was transformed into that of a dragon. In order for it to appear human, a ritual would be performed where Rias or Akeno would suck the power of the dragon out of it, allowing it to appear human for a few days.

Personality
Shōjikina is very different from her male counterpart. She is a very studious, diligent, and kind student who cares for the welfare of others, and can often be soft-spoken. She likes to see the good in others, rather that judge them by outward appearances, hence her non-hostile nature towards the Perverted Duo. She even acts as something of a counselor for them whenever they are depressed, and is utterly clueless about their perverted fantasies of her. Her most well-known trait is her sexuality. She has no preference, and does not care if they are male or female. As a sort of running gag, Shōjikina becomes exasperated when people begin to mistake that she is creating her own harem, and fruitlessly tries to tell them not believe such rumors.

However, Shōjikina shares her counterpart's kind, courageous, and unwaveringly determination of wanting to protect those who are important to her despite almost dying by the hands of her opponents. She's also very caring, "putting his nose on other peoples business" as she helped Yuuto, Koneko, and Akeno overcome their fear and hatred of their mournful past. Due to this, she gained strong friendship from his comrades and affection from most girls and the boys of the Occult Research Club. She is, however, oblivious to the feelings of the girls and boys around him at first, often believing they are simply teasing her. Even with Rias' family telling her to use the same titles for them as Rias (Father, Mother, Brother, etc.) and other mentions of engagement activities, she still remains the same. However, as the story progresses, she begins to realize that their feelings are genuine.

In battle, Shōjikina is sometimes very stubborn, and due to her emotions, she often charges ahead towards her enemies without a second thought whenever her comrades are insulted, treated badly, or easily defeated. Azazel has stated that it is one of Shōjikina's bad habits. Lately, she has started to become more tactical in her battles, using technique-type strategies to defeat opponents.

History
Initially, Shōjikina's parents had a great deal of trouble conceiving a child, failing twice. So when her mother got pregnant for a third time her father had paced back and forth in front of shinto shrine honestly wishing that this time they would succeed. When the child was finally born she was named Shōjikina, meaning "Honest," for her father's honest prayers. She is a childhood friend of Ikki Shidou and they would always play together before he moved to England, although she thought he was a girl at the time. At some point when Shōjikina came over to Ikki's house, he kissed her while she was sleeping. At some point in time, Shōjikina became fascinated in motorcycle racing, and after taking part in a local dirt bike tournament, she began to dream of one day becoming the best motorcyclist in Japan. She attended the same middle school with Aika Kiryuu and the two of them started attending Kuoh Academy one year before the story, and eventually came to befriend Katase and Murayama, who would later be the cause of her joining the school's Kendo Team. Around this time, Aika had accidentally caused a rumor going around, saying that Shōjikina was actually bisexual, which later turned out to be true, having confessed to Aika that she doesn't care what gender a person is, rather looking past that and focuses more on the type of person they are.
