Hibari Hanakoganei (花小金井 ひばり Hanakoganei Hibari) is the main character of the anime. She's a typical Magical Girl in love with her prince, Crane Van Streich. Her name means skylark, and her surname is probably derived from the name of the Hanakoganei station in Tokyo. She is Crane's princess and calls her his "Anima Mundi".

Hibari is a happy and dreamy girl, who dreams with her prince. She is not very good in her studies, nor is she smart or good in sports, but has a pure and trusting heart. To start off, she doesn't have a PataPi but it's precisely this prince who gives her a PataPi, Densuke (デンスケ), which transforms into Aphrodite. Throughout the series, Hibari will make new friends apart from Suzume (her best friend for years), Tsugumi, Kamome and Tsubame, for whom she feels lots of affection. At the same time she tries to find her prince, Crane and comes the day when she believes to find him (Ch 11). But the prince she saw was not her prince, but Takashi Ryuugazaki who actually taunts her while he attacks her with his avatar, Cyclops and he also reveals to her in Ch 17 that he was not her prince after he forces her Pata-Pi Densuke transform into Aphrodite to fight against Erinyes. When Aphrodite was severely damage by Erinyes, Hibari meets her prince Crane as she needs him to save Densuke. Crane knows he cannot help her but he gives her an advice as he tells her that Densuke can't only transform into a Diva, but she can also fuse with him which will give her true power to become a complete diva. She finally fuses with Aphrodite in her advanced diva state and manage to defeat Erinyes. In Ch 19, she was cornered by Jun, Miyama and Hatoko after fusing with the diva after saying about their feelings and admiration towards their master and allows Takashi to defeat her by shooting the laser cannons towards her but enables her to defeat them due to the barrier within her thus destroying their Apostolus suits and weakens Takashi as she difuses with her diva. Hibari tries to stop Takashi to destroy Densuke the suit that he wears was exploded by self destruct causing him to collapse on the ground leading to his death and she does not understand the danger happened to them. When Primum Mobile arrives at Ch 24, Hibari finally meets her prince Crane in which he was truly here. Much to her surprise to see that he was gunpoint by their evil principal, Washuu Ryuugazaki now as Christian Rosenkreutz who ages rapidly and knowing that her prince Crane is behind everything to awaken the divas as well as they will be taken by him. After Christian dies of old age and meets her Prince, she became shocked after the incident even to her friends as well. In Ch 25; 5 months after the death of Christian Rosenkruetz, Hibari sees her parents are suffering when she leaves with her friends and go with Crane to Primum Mobile. She and Tsubame along with Tsugumi, Suzume and Kamome went back to Akihabara as the Primum Mobile arrive to take them.

Hibari and Tsubame finally fuse with their divas and tries to move the Primum Mobile back into space in Ch 26 but it was stopped by Crane and he sends fellow divas, Athena, Hestia and Amphitrite in his control to deal against both Hibari and Tsubame. Crane arrives and teaching them a lesson finally shows his true scheme to the girls. Hibari became upset of this after seeing that her prince was evil and destroys their hometown she angrily diffuses with her diva and finally faces him. Crane tells her about his suffering and waited for 100 years and Hibari replies that she waited in 13 years while he waited in 100 years are the same as the other girls also tells him that do not critizes their lives on Earth as well as they convinces their divas. When the divas finally in place with the girls and re rout the Primum Mobile goes back in space, Hibari screams Densuke's name until she cries while she swears to Crane to bring Densuke back. Hibari tells him that he was just the evil prince and swears that she hates him and wasting her time and Crane wasn't suppose to be her prince. Crane also tells her that she maybe right and she was still his Anima Mundi and finally kisses her and leave with the divas in Primum Mobile. After the incident she reunites with Crane while she was finally going home and receives Densuke back to her making her happy as well as to go home with Tsubame after she receives Petit-Ange from him.

Hibari does everything to make Tsubame fit in with the Cyber Team (which leads to her fusing with Petit Ange). She's very happy when she finds out that the Prince exists, but says that he must leave Akihabara and go with him. Hibari wants to go with the Prince, but when she sees that her parents suffer so much for it, Hibari chooses to stay with them and her new sister Tsubame.

Since a child, Hibari's always been a happy girl. When she was 4, she knew she'd have a brother and thought a good name for him. She decided to call him Densuke, but he died during childbirth (hence her great affection for her PataPi). To avoid making her parents feel bad, Hibari acted as if she didn't mind the matter.
