Notes

Honoka is optimistic, determined, energetic, impulsive, charismatic, and hardworking: a high school student and school idol leading her group. She wants to save her school and reach the national stage with her friends. Her infectious charisma rallies others, but overexertion, poor foresight, and emotional strain can exhaust her. An orange side ponytail, blue eyes, and school-uniform ribbon define her look.
