Maki Nishikino

Maki Nishikino is one of the main characters from the Love Live! School Idol Project series.
== Charactah Account ==
An aloof first-year student aiming to be a physician like her parents, and the main composer for μ's. Her parents own a hospital, so she's quite rich. She is a member of BiBi, a sub-unit under µ's.
Maki has the qualities of a tsundere, and she has a hard time admitting her true feelings to her peers. She also has somewhat childish beliefs, as demonstrated by the group finding out that she still believes in Santa Claus.
Maki is also quite stubborn. This was shown when she was invited to play at the beach, as she was withdrawn from the group and not interested in playing with them.

== Trivia ==
* Maki fulfills the cool attribute of the µ's first years.
* One of Maki's famous lines is "Nani sore? Imi wakannai." literally meaning "What's that? I don't understand you" or "I don't get it".
* For some unstated reason, Maki's summer uniform's cardigan is not yellow (like the others), but a shade of gray.
* Nico is the only member of μ's Maki addresses using honorifics, specifically "Nico-chan".
* The lowest score Maki has ever obtained for a test was 68, which led to an argument with her father and almost being forced to leave μ's. Her father only relented after the other members visited Maki's house to persuade him to let her continue her school idol activities. Umi, being an heiress to a family business as well, was instrumental in convincing him.
** This conflict was not shown in the anime adaptation at all, with her father seemingly supportive of her activities by letting them use their holiday homes as well as sending her to the airport in the movie.
* As well as the piano, Maki is also very skilled at playing the flute, having performed at a recital in the past.A recent card illustration in the Love Live! School Idol Festival ALL STARS game also shows Maki playing violin.
* Maki is shown to have a maid in the manga adaptation of School Idol Diary,
* Maki has seen the Harry Potter movies, but it is unknown whether or not she has also read the books. She comments on some of the scenes that are so scary that she "had to close her eyes".
* While it was not said how Maki got into Otonokizaka in the anime, it was her parents' decision in the manga.
** In addition to this, in the manga, she wanted to go to UTX and bonded with Nico because of this.
* According to the SIFAS Event "Music Made Together", Maki's birth flower is the Delphinium.
* Maki is 15, she is the first Love Live! character who's age has been canonically confirmed.
