Character Profile
THE IDOLM@STER SHINY COLORS 1st Guidebook
Gorgeous and clear-headed, like an unreachable beauty. Her charm is that she's more stoic than anyone else, but also more pure-hearted than anyone else. It's just that her habit of saying exactly what she's thinking means she's easily misunderstood and makes enemies easily. She hates that part of herself most of all, and isn't proud of it. Additionally, when she unintentionally hurts someone's feelings, she can fall into a depression due to her sensitive side.
In her youth, she was a totally normal girl, but due to family matters, she gained her harsh-on-others-and-herself personality. Currently, she's living on her own in all but name, and is skilled at cooking and making schedules. Her hobbies include music appreciation and finding beautiful scenery, along with fortune-telling. She relies on the concept of fortunes and jinxes for her own moral support.
In middle school, when she saw an idol's performance at her school's festival, she began to yearn for the "love" that connects idols and their fans. Because of this, she wanted to become an idol. If she were to become a sparkling idol, she might be able to love herself as well as be loved by others. She decided to enter 283 Production, and was assigned to the unit illumination STARS. Mano and Hiori share the aspect of not being able to connect well with people. Meguru gives her friendship and bonds.
Character Description
While Hiori comes off initially as harsh and stoic, in reality she just struggles opening up and socializing with others, which can lead to misunderstandings sometimes. Even if she sounds harsh sometimes, she is a really kind girl. Because of this, she treasures every friend she makes.
Hiori is a serious and hard-working girl, always doing her best to achieve her goals. However, she tends to doubt herself and compares her capacities with others. Initially, she worries that she wasn't skilled as Mano and Meguru and was holding them back, making her unsure about being part of illumination STARS. One day, she talks about it with Mano, and, realizing their similarities, she decides that the best would be to work together as an unit. A bit after that, Hiori gets sick and worries that she'll hold them back again. After she comes back, Meguru and Mano throw her a surprise party, and Hiori realizes that she has friends to rely now.
She is a first year in high school.
