Aki Hoshime

Aki Hoshime is a first-year student at Hanasakigawa Girls' High School, and the keyboardist of AMBiTiON.

Name

 * First name - "Aki" (明) = bright. Phonetic similarities to "akiru" (飽きる) = to get bored of, and "akirameru" (諦める) = to give up.
 * Surname - "hoshi" (星) = star, and "me" (目) = eye(s)

Background
Aki's parents have been neglectful of her due to pursuing a clothing business named Starrily Sail, and has left Aki to deal with house chores and school work on her own. They also expect her to take over this business once she graduates and they retire.

Because of this, Aki has a rocky relationship with her parents. Though she cares for them, hence why Aki even bothers to take care of them and their home, she has also manifested a bitterness towards her parents at the same time.

At school, Aki is popular, but her perfectness makes her seem inapproachable to fellow students.

Appearance
Aki has slightly wavy indigo-purple hair with bangs on the left side of her face. She sports a high ponytail and has crystal blue eyes.

Personality
Aki is charismatic, empathetic, kind, naturally talented, and perfect in most ways. However she has a strong sense of guilt, and the fact that she was born with so many good traits and such great luck upsets her. Aki hates being reminded of anything positive about her because she thinks it is undeserved, and sometimes wants herself to suffer just to "even it out".

As optimistic as Aki is, her natural skills has made her bad at putting effort into things, so when she encounters something she isn't good at from the start, Aki has the tendency to just not do it.
