Without a doubt, my best girl is Sakurauchi Riko. From the moment I saw her inside the first promo picture, I knew that she was going to be what my chemistry teacher calls "the one." The picture showcased her straight long hair which beautifully accents her soft, gold eyes, and her beaming and radiant personality glittered through the picture, creating an effect similar to love at first sight.

My favorite from µ's is, of course, Rin. The two of them, although both the names start with an "R," have very few similarities. However, upon starting the anime, I was not disappointed.

Miss Sakurauchi, in one word, is passionate. She was stuck in a rut, unable to write music, afraid of not being able to play, of not being able to meet her city's standards, so she tried to change her point of view by visiting a place much different from her previous life. Riko dived into the water to find herself, her music, her passion, her piano; she searched deep within the all-knowing sea to find what she was missing in herself. And from there, she met Chika.

Riko was the best person she could meet at that time. Chika had her own dream of becoming a school idol that she was trying to achieve, and Riko, being a nice city girl who knew music, was the best fit for that. Although reluctantly at first, she joined them for her own "selfish" reasons and was pulled along through Chika and You's madness. From then on, her development was for both her music and newly gained friends.

Riko is just an incredibly supportive person who cares for each of the others. However, even when it's an important time for the group, she remembers the reason she joined Aqours in the first place and doesn't disregard her own wants and dreams for the sake of others. Some might call this selfish, but I love that type of passion that I myself would never be able to continue with.

Riko has an amazing voice (I rewatched her Yume no Tobira so many times ;;; ) and gorgeous design. Her outfits fit her really, really well and her fear of dogs never fails to amuse me. I'm in love with her piano, as a fellow musician, and I find myself admiring her much too often.

She's so similar to both me and probably you, having some abnormal fears, having a couple amazing talents, and having a ball of sunshine inside her that she can share. I can't help but have an unconditional love for her.

Prob not gonna win but might as well try AHAHA-
