## Official Introduction

Hoshiko, or commonly known by her nickname as ‘Shiko’, is from a wealthy family of humanitarians. Due to the gossip and rumors circulating around them, they are said to be a “reclusive family”. People young and old are a bit or too shy to approach the Nishimuras, because they think that they have high standards when it comes to common folk. But when it comes to Hoshiko, you needn’t worry about approaching her, say hi, and hopefully, she might make you one of her few friends.

## Personality

Hoshiko is described as a reclusive person, just like her parents. She is also shown to be very kind and helpful. But when things get heated however, she would keep herself quiet, just to show people that she is not one for such things, like debate. According to Asami, she is not too lively and described her childhood friend as more of an ‘introvert’, rather than a ‘recluse’. And according to Shiko herself, those two words are different, even if they share one trait in common: lack of social interaction. The young lady also finds it easier to communicate with the public, and stay reserved. But then again, she finds it a hindrance.

## Character Stories

### Details

When people are asked *“Who do you think are the wealthiest, yet most successful people in the world?”*, the first people that come to mind is none other than the Nishimura clan. People with different social status always looked up to the Nishimuras for their unwavering kindness, even when they were one with the rich people. But when it comes to children of wealthy families, Hoshiko is the most reputable out of them all. The people, especially children and teens alike, have nothing to badmouth about her, would they?

### Story 1

The Nishimura Humanitarian Company, a company named after the Nishimura clan, had helped so many people over the years. From impoverished communities to new businesses. Ever since the family name has been passed to Hoshiko, it is now her turn to keep the Nishimura legacy up and going with small, yet random acts of kindness. “For the community, as always.” - that is the motto of the Nishimuras. People still cherish the motto, to this day.

### Story 2

Hoshiko was not born with a simple life, rather, she was born with a wealthy one. She hails from the Nishimura clan, a clan that almost fell apart after the death of Fumihiro and Ayame Nishimura. When Hoshiko was little, she had no knowledge of running the company, and what they do. During that time, her aunt was the one running the company on behalf of Fumihiro, who is her younger brother. And when her aunt is busy, the house servants keep Hoshiko occupied from the tireless duties of the Nishimura Humanitarian Company. Same thing goes for school, where everyone assists Hoshiko instead of letting Hoshiko do an action alone, from putting her bag in her cubby, to storing sports equipment. She somehow grew tired of this habit, and told her teacher to let her classmates not assist her at all times. The teacher happily obliged, but the students… alas, they find it as if their assistance to Hoshiko is nothing. Hoshiko has her reasons, does she not? This was her answer to her disappointed classmates: *“Look, I’m happy that I got assisted and all, but isn’t this habit too much? I can do an action alone, I don’t need anyone to get something for me all the time when I didn’t ask for your assistance. Plus, it’s not meant to upset you, I’m just telling you that I can do anything alone, like you guys.”* One girl replied with anger: *“Fine. We’ll let you do anything alone. Don’t come to us if you need help one day!”* Hoshiko tried not to cry in front of the class, but she couldn't help, but show her sadness. The girl that replied to her with anger regretted what she said, and ran away from the class. That was the time, where Hoshiko became wary of certain people, like that girl.

### Story 3

Most people, when they hear the term ‘rich kid’, would associate them with being greedy, spoiled, bossy, inferior. But that was just a stereotype. Hoshiko is the living image that defies that stereotype. After some time, when she was 7 years old, she made her first friend: Asami. Initially, when it was her first day of school, Asami told her to sit beside her. She was suspicious at first, but she sat beside her anyway. *“Since we’re sitting beside each other now, may I ask what your name is?”* Asami asked. She replied with: *“My name is Hoshiko Nishimura, but you may call me ‘Hoshiko’. It’s more friendly than calling me by my last name.”* *“Okay Hoshiko! So, uh, can we be friends?”* Asami asked again. Hoshiko replied with an exciting, but polite yes. That was the time when Hoshiko realized that she would have a great time with Asami, as friends.

### Story 4

As time progressed, Asami and Hoshiko became best friends. They would make gifts to each other on their birthdays, write letters when they’re away, have sleepovers at their houses, go out with their families, and many more. It was until Asami told Hoshiko that she will be living in another city for her mom’s work as an artist for another company. Hoshiko’s response was filled with sadness. *“But you’ll still remember me, right? You’ll still give me gifts and write letters, will you?”* She asked after responding to Asami’s statement, crying. *“Of course I’ll still remember you! And I’ll still do the things that friends do, okay?*” Asami said, with a reassuring, but surprised tone. Asami then left with her parents. And Hoshiko went ahead with her bodyguards.

### Story 5

A few years have passed, and now Hoshiko became the Acting Commissioner in her pre-teens to lead alongside her older sister, who had been in charge of the company, a few years back after their aunt’s death. It was difficult at first, but eventually she got the hang of it. The first time that she did actual company work was when a letter made by her best friend, Asami, was mailed to her asking for her family’s help. Hoshiko warned her sister about this, and her sister did the necessary preparations to send help to the Sakamotos out. After a while, and in just the right timing, Asami’s mother is free of the debt she owed to her boss before, and they are able to come back to their hometown. Hoshiko was happy that the lives of the Sakamoto family were back to normal.

### Diary

When Hoshiko has free time, she would use it to write everything that has happened in her diary. She always had a habit of keeping a diary ever since she found out that her older sister had one when she was her age. However, the contents in the diary consists mainly of entries that are either commissioner duties, school events, hangout with friends, class president duties, or even some secrets. One time, when Asami and Elise were in her house for a sleepover, curious Asami peeked at her diary, and Hoshiko caught her red-handed and slapped Asami’s hand out of her diary out of anger and embarrassment. *“Asami, you peeked at my diary! That was supposed to be confidential!”* Hoshiko replied. *“If you had kept it in a drawer or a safe, Asami’s curious hand would’ve not touched it at all Shiko!”* Elise replied to her scolding towards Asami. *“Sorry… I didn’t know it was a diary. Also, WHY HAVEN’T YOU TOLD ME HOSHIKO HAD A DIARY ELISE?!”* Asami replied from sadness to complete anger when Elise didn’t tell her anything about Hoshiko having a diary. And the argument went on until Hoshiko silently left her room to give them space. *“\*sigh\* I should’ve kept it in my desk drawer. Hoshiko, you’ve done it again, agh!”* Hoshiko scolded herself.
