### Role(s) in the DEKAverse

Hotaru is one of the average to top flautists in music class. Not even a single person knew how she succeeded in such of these notes.

Despite her high skill, she’s known for her everyday sleepiness, which was practically because she was born with narcolepsy. However, she never cared about those of who succeeded over her, as she has a big heart for anyone that plays nice and fair.

She currently resides in Suzuran, whereas Ringo and Maguro live, alongside with Marigold and Eliza. Specifically, as of some of her relatives being “workaholics”, her mother is a programmer, who is most known for her company, Uchiyama Computers, and her father is a musician, being a music teacher for a school.

### Backstory

In a hospital somewhere in Tokyo, Japan, the doctors said that Hotaru was diagnosed with narcolepsy—a condition where people end up completely drowsy, even during the day.

During her infanthood, Hotaru usually had a hard time staying up awake during her school days. That is until high school, where she nearly took control of it. However, she mostly succeeded in music classes, where she later on took role as a flautist (flute).

Her family later on moved to Suzuran, an exclusive city in the same country, so that Hotaru can meet up with other people her type or so by far.

### Abilities

Hotaru sometimes focuses on music-based magic with some sort of icy theme, in which they’re colored a signature indigo, but she’s not an actual mage like the other Suzuran residents of the respectful franchise.

### General debuts

According to the canon, **she was originally one of Maguro's beta concepts before HIS debut in 7**. She was planned to be a blue-colored magical girl as Ringo's companion and as the fishmonger's daughter herself, but was later drastically changed as a male character, due to a reason that there's already enough female characters in the game before its DS release. **That same reason happened to Risukuma, as his previous concept was a yellow-colored magical girl at that time**, who was also planned to be the daughter of a florist / baker.

That scrapped concept was reintroduced as a separate character in the fanon lore, and even in the multiverse, and she was given a differently separate role.

## Appearance / Design

Hotaru has light skin, blue messy hair, and eyes of purple, as one of those rare eye colors. As of her hairstyle, it is semi-long and loose, alongside with its open-middle fringe, complete with a ahoge on the hairline. Complete with two sidelocks, she mainly carries a purple hair clip on her right. Due to her drowsiness, her dark eye bags are visibly shown.

## Notes / Trivia

* Her birthday, November 26, is **based on the OG 7's Wii / PSP release**. Those 2 ports were after the DS release.
* Apart from Ringo being based on an apple, **she might be based on blue-colored foods, like a blueberry, or a blue raspberry.**
* Her first name actually means **"firefly"**, which is a result in honor of one of her great relatives being a former entomologist.
