Miyako Miyamura

Miyako Miyamura is one of the main heroines of the first part of ef: a fairy tale of the two. She lives in Otowa, Japan and attends Otobane Academy as a junior. Her parents are divorced and she lives alone.

Overview
On the surface Miyako displays a very outgoing and energetic personality, acting like a naïve manic pixie dream girl with little care for the traditional norms of Japanese behavior for young women. This is actually a façade to hide her basic insecurity. She is in fact isolated and has no friends. She is also actually quite intelligent, as is evidenced by her excellent grades and top ranking in class despite the fact that she rarely attends school.

Relationships
On Christmas night, Miyako steals the bike of Hiro Hirono while trying to catch a purse thief. Several months later she meets him again at school. She sees in Hiro another loner who rarely attends school, and she is immediately attracted to him. She aggressively pursues a relationship with Hiro, much to the consternation of Hiro's friend Kei Shindou, who is still secretly in love with him from childhood. Kei becomes jealous of Miyako and attempts to make Hiro 'forget' her.
