School idol festival Characters

These characters make up the Normal Rarity cards of the game.

---

• Alternate Continuity: Due to the shutdown of their source material, they have effectively been reintroduced to the franchise as side characters adjacent to the Nijigasaki branch, being neighboring schools to Nijigasaki High School that also participate in school idol activities. This not only applies to the Nijigasaki anime but also their appearance in their own game's sequel, Love Live! School idol festival 2 MIRACLE LIVE!.
• Ascended Extra: Kanata Konoe, Shizuku Osaka and Emma Verde were voted by readers to become part of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.
• Canon Immigrant: They make cameos in Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club as groups from other schools. Haruka Konoe is a recurring character in various Nijigasaki official material, and Himeno Ayanokouji appears as a prominent secondary character.
• Living Prop: They're essentially background/filler characters at best.
• No Full Name Given: For Christina from Shinonome plus most of the Y.G. International characters, their last names are not revealed.

Hobby: Changes weekly

A second year who is easily bored and has a tendency to quickly change her hobbies (including becoming a school idol for this reason). As a result, she is spontaneous and flaky even when it comes to things other than hobbies. The only thing she has managed to find constant interest in is being a school idol, and after realising her talent is trying to specialising in costume-making. She has also barely managed to hold down a hobby of (pretending to do) detective work.
