Chika Amatori

"I can't let other people take care of my problems forever. I want to go and search for them myself."

- Chika Amatori to Osamu Mikumo about saving her brother and friend

Chika Amatori is one of the five main characters in the manga and anime series World Trigger and the main heroine of the series. She is a B-Rank Sniper and member of Mikumo Unit.

Appearance
Chika has short black hair with an in the middle of her head. She also has violet eyes.

As a C-Rank agent, she has the standard white C-Rank border uniform, but with pants tucked inside themselves and lighter stripes, which seem to be the standard for female agents. She also wears a jacket over her uniform.

As a B-Rank agent, she wears a uniform similar to Osamu's, but with a jacket with a more symmetrical design, having no shoulder guards and a suspender-like detail starting on the top of her jacket's right shoulder, which end around the height of her waist, connecting to a horizontal line. Also connecting to this line are two holsters, on either side of her jacket. Her jacket's sleeves' sides have thin black stripes which become thicker on the sides of her shoulders, surrounding the Tamakoma Branch emblem. She also wears her collar folded, unlike Osamu and Yūma who leave it up. The jacket is bigger than her body, and covers her black shorts. Her Unit's emblem is located on her left chest. She wears gloves longer than Osamu and Yūma's, over her jacket's sleeves. She also wears knee-high boots with knee pads.

Personality
Chika is very shy, and rarely says much. She has very few friends, because she voluntarily distances herself from others. She believes that she'll just get hurt when those she gets close to get kidnapped by the Neighbors. She is really patient and serious and can concentrate very well, but she has low confidence and can't see her own potential. After meeting Yūma and joining Tamakoma Branch, however, she starts warming up to others and becoming more sociable and confident on herself. She is a kind-hearted person and admits that she is terrified of hurting others.

Relationships

 * Rinji Amatori: Chika's older brother and one of her main motivators to becoming an A-Rank. Her brother and a close friend were both abducted by Neighbors. Chika's aim is to visit Neighbor worlds to search for her brother and friend. He asked Osamu to protect her if anything ever happened.


 * Aoba Harukawa:


 * Osamu Mikumo: The younger sister of his tutor. She seems to respect him very much. His main motivation for joining border was to protect Chika for her brother. He was the only person who she trusted after the disappearance of her friend and brother, and before she joined Border. He is always encouraging her, and she has a lot of trust on him, too.


 * Yūma Kuga: Chika and Yuma first met underneath the bridge while both waiting for Osamu. Yuma is the first person besides Osamu that Chika opens up to and asks for help. She originally thought she was older than Yuma because of his appearance. Yuma was the first person to realize Chika's potential when assessing her Trion level. She was the one who taught Yuma how to ride a bike.


 * Yūichi Jin: Unlike with Osamu and Yūma, Chika is rather shy around Jin. They have a good relationship nevertheless.


 * Reiji Kizaki: Chika's mentor. Although slightly intimidated, particularly at first, Chika admires Reiji and does her best to prove herself a worthy student. Reiji sees much potential in Chika and is fond of her.


 * Shiori Usami:


 * Kirie Konami:


 * Kyōsuke Karasuma:


 * Izuho Natsume: A fellow Sniper and friend of Chika's. They first meet during Sniper Training in the Enlistment Day. Although they have a rough start when they introduce each another, as Chika got a better ranking in training and Izuho assumes she's rubbing it on her, they quickly become good friends.


 * Akane Hiura: As they're both Snipers, they meet in the Sniper Training after their ranked battle. They seem to get along well. They also promise a rematch between their teams.


 * Yuzuru Ema: Like with Akane, they meet in the Sniper Training. He seems to have a crush on her, and even talks about his mentor to her. Chika lets slip to him that she's unable to shoot people.


 * Isami Tōma: Chika meets him in Sniper training, along with Yuzuru and Akane. They have a friendly relationship.
