## Physical Appearance

Aoi is a short teenager with a slender build. She has dark blue hair that goes down past her waist. She used to tie two white ribbons to her hair on either side of her head, until she joined Dream♡Core, where she would keep it tied in a a side ponytail. The sides of her bangs are held by rose hairclips She has smoky-purple eyes that slant upwards.

## Background

Aoi lives in a medium-sized house with her parents, her uncle and aunt, and her older cousin Nami. With both of her parents successful business people, her aunt the principal of Mikomi High, her uncle a lawyer, her cousin the Student Council President, and her late great-grandmother the founder of Mikomi High, Aoi developed with an inferiority complex. Her only real interest was music, but she feared that her family would abandon her if she slipped behind and didn't become successful like them. As a result, Aoi pushes herself to an extreme degree, forcing herself to stay an honor student by any means necessary at the cost of her happiness.

Aoi keeps her hobby of creating music on her computer a secret that she only shares with close friends. Eventually, she allowed her old music to be used by Dream♡Core, so long as no one knew that she was the one who created their music. Even still, Aoi vehemently opposed joining the school idol club due to the possibility of her secret coming out. It took some persuasion from Nami's friend and trusted schoolmate Maiko Fujikawa in order to finally let go of the crushing pressure of her family's statuses and embrace her true passion. She feared what her parents would think of her becoming an entertainer as opposed to white-collar work, but they happily welcomed their daughter's dream and encouraged her to give it her all.

## Personality

Aoi, much like her cousin, is a very serious, straight-laced honor student. She rarely cracks jokes, much less understands them. She is also a staunch rule-follower. She will not hesitate to call out anyone in her school who breaks the rules. This has earned her some infamy among her schoolmates. The public opinion of her in Mikomi High is mixed. Some will say that she's a good student with an admirable sense of responsibility. Others will say that she's a suck-up with an unusually authoritarian approach to school life. As a result, everyone in the school seems to know her name, but very few of them are friends with her. One such friend being Junko Fukuhara, a fellow honor student with a similar internal struggle.

Aoi's desire to stay on the same level of success as her family has made her extremely self-sufficient, both at school and during her alone-time when she creates songs, which she taught herself how to do. She can create an entire song in just under a week. She has made almost a hundred songs throughout her life, with several being songs sung by virtual singer synthesizers.

Aoi is an extreme perfectionist, even as a school idol. During practice, she practices herself to over-exhaustion, making sure that every note she sings and every dance move she makes is perfect. The other members of Dream♡Core urge her to ease up a little, but Aoi believes that anything less than perfection will keep them from winning the Love Live competiton.
