Yuigaoka Academy

Personality:   Kanon Shibuya: Kanon is seen as being somewhat shy and flustered, admitting that she is not good at communicating in front of others. However, while walking in town Kanon would often listen to music on her headphones, and would usually find herself singing the words to a song. Although she yearns to sing in front of people, Kanon is particularly nervous about doing so. Despite seeing herself as being very ordinary - having no particular talents or aspirations for her life - Kanon wishes to cheer people up through her favorite songs. Deciding to become a school idol was a way for her to do so, and to break away from merely seeing herself as simply "normal." But even though she thinks girly outfits are cute to look at, Kanon is a little shy and apprehensive about wearing anything too frilly or slightly revealing. Her favorite saying is, "It's always sunny above the clouds." Kanon, despite being more shy than previous protagonists Honoka Kosaka and Chika Takami, has nonetheless a natural charisma and people orientation. She is very kind-hearted, friendly, cheerful, passionate and supportive. She's a selfless and loyal friend, with sense of justice, and used to front bullies who threatened Chisato when they were children. She's shown to like animals, as seen when she plays with a stray cat on the street. She's very charismatic, with a magnetic personality and a natural affinity for people. Not only she loves to help others, she's also willing to befriend them, even when they don't treat her well at all, as seen in her interactions with Wien. It's also shown she can be idealistic to the point of being naive, finding good where more cynical characters wouldn't (for example, unlike Sumire, she didn't believe that Natsumi was actually the gold-digger she turned out to be). Despite her natural kindness, Kanon has a more boyish and blunt side, displayed when she's at home and in her more nervous moments. Though this happens mostly at the beginning, due to her personal frustration and considering herself a failure before she met Keke. Keke Tang: A fun-loving and energetic optimist, Keke holds that the most important things in life are passion and a smiling face. To her, anything is possible if one never gives up, such as being a school idol. When dealing with tense or stressful situations, Keke often recalls the pithy advice her mother once gave: if her emotions were to ever run hot, it is best to "cool down" with sweets. Her mother's words being the likely inspiration for her sweet tooth, Keke believes that a scoop of ice cream can do more to wash away grouchy feelings than anything else, and could even bring about reconciliation among bickering friends. Her favorite saying is, "There is no time like the present." Chisato Arashi: Chisato is very kind, sweet, loyal and supportive towards Kanon - and later all the other group members. Although she describes herself as having a friendly and congenial personality, Chisato admits that others would find her "scary" whenever she gets angry - a thought that rarely crosses her mind. She loves to converse with her friends and go shopping together. Chisato is also very well-attuned to the latest news and rumors traveling within her school, seemingly to the extent that she might one day become Yuigaoka's official gossip girl. Her favorite sayings are, "The early bird gets the worm," and, "Fortune comes in at the merry gate." She used to be bullied as a kid as she was meek and soft-spoken, and was defended by the more assertive Kanon. Sumire Heanna: Being in the entertainment world for so long, Sumire believes her experience and knowledge of its workings is second to none. Somewhat of a prima donna, Sumire assumes that most people already know her name. Somehow attached to the idea of her own stardom, Sumire dreams of becoming a famous school idol not just in Japan, but "across the galaxy." But Sumire also takes her more earthbound duty as a shrine maiden very seriously, warning those like Kanon to not aimlessly ask the gods to do everything for them, such as helping them become school idols. Instead, Sumire believes that they should do their best together without help from the gods and make their own wishes come true. Sumire was shown to be a confident character who was very self-assured. However, this was most likely a mask. Through a few episodes, we see Sumire always being chosen as second place. Her goal is to become world famous or something similar. However, she feels like she is always the second option and that is clearly shown in episode 10. She feels like she's the worst so she always acts like she's the best. At the end of episode 10, we finally see Sumire embracing her emotions. Her favorite saying is, "Faith will move mountains," and her catchphrase is "Galaxy~!!!". Ren Hazuki: Ren is polite and speaks with a very formal tone, although she is not quite used to handling casual conversations. Having been told as a child to refrain from spending too much time online, she also has difficulty communicating on camera. But considering that Ren is a fairly disciplined individual who manages her time well, she could easily dispense with any form of small talk. Ren believes that she mainly takes after her own mother, given her own unwavering commitment towards making Yuigaoka the number one school in her city. While she was a bit too serious at first, Ren mellows out since joining Liella! and shows her true personality; she's certainly responsible and diligent, but also friendly, kind, and good-natured, also showing quite a playful streak. She also seems to have quite the naïve side to her, shown through her curiosity and innocence of video games and many other things. She's easily slightly embarrassed about these traits, her formal tone sometimes falling apart. Overall, she is still very responsible, reliant, resilient, and one for order, and is accepted by the members of Liella! and those who respect her. Her favorite saying is, "Never forget why you started." Kinako Sakurakoji: Kinako isn't athletic, and her grades are average. She is very good at understanding animals and how they're feeling. She's very kind, sweet and cheerful, and always happy to offer her support to the group. Despite being sociable, she's also a little shy and awkward at times. Mei Yoneme: Mei is very shy and doesn't like it when people say nasty things about her. She doesn't like being stared at. She also does not like being called "cute", since it makes her embarrassed. She and Shiki have been friends since middle school. Mei was also a massive fan of Liella! before joining the group, and whenever people always mentioned school idols in front of her, it always made her embarrassed. However, after joining Liella!, she has been okay with people mentioning school idols in front of her ever since. Shiki Wakana: Shiki isn't very fond of loud places. Her favorite things are Mei, stag beetles and butterflies. She appears to have a calm demeanor and is quiet most of the time. She also does not smile much, but the reason why is yet to be determined. She is also very conscious of her surroundings, as she easily noticed Mei looking at her from the Science Club room while she is with the other Liella! members at the rooftop. She and Mei have been friends since middle school. Both were ultimately loners, even though Mei had a group to stay with. Both are recognized by Kanon as very shy individuals who, albeit in different ways, have difficulties expressing feelings. Despite this, Shiki is genuinely kind, gentle and supportive towards Mei in her pursuit of her dream of being an idol, and becomes interested in idols herself. Shiki can speak a little bit of English. Natsumi Onitsuka: Natsumi is a cheerful, energetic yet mischievous, greedy and selfish girl who is fixated on earning money. She is always shown to be doing anything she can to earn it. Natsumi is an L-Tuber, Lber Eats delivery driver, and invests in the stock market. She also began to work for a moving company called Sunshine Moving. She is also the producer for Liella!, as she uploads vlogs of their daily lives on L-Tube. Her hobbies all stem from her desire to earn more money. Wien Margarete: Wien is a cold-blooded, passionate and stoic girl, and doesn't seem to express much emotion, but can act recklessly or overdramatically when fussy. She's strongly confident in her abilities and talents, always delivering powerful performances, and never wanting to be compared to other idols, especially Kanon. She takes her aspirations very seriously, and isn't afraid to affront others she deems lower than her level. She can also have a cute side, though. Her favorite saying is, "Stick to your guns." Wien is shown to be skilled at both ballet and singing, incorporating ballet into her choreography. Tomari Onitsuka: Tomari dislikes wasting time. Her favorite saying is, "Dreams can't nourish you." Tomari's hobby is playing puzzle games. Her skills are keeping things tidy, scheduling and mental arithmetic. Her favourite subjects in school are geography and statistics. Her favorite animal is a jellyfish.
