Rin Hoshizora

Rin Hoshizora is one of the nine main characters in Love Live!. She is a first-year in Otonokizaka High School. Her image color is yellow, but is also represented with lime-green or teal. She is a member of lily white, a sub-unit under µ's.

Background
Rin has been friends with Hanayo Koizumi since they were children. She is very energetic and likes to play sports. As a child, she was teased for wearing skirts. Because of this, she decided to avoid wearing skirts and dresses in public. She has a huge heart for cats, although she is allergic to them.

Personality
Rin appears to be a bit of a tomboy. She mostly teases Hanayo, her best friend, and appears to be with her most of the time. She is very energetic, sporty and active, and has attempted to hug every member of µ's. Her personality is similar to Honoka Kosaka's because they are both determined and hard-working. For example, in Season 1 Episode 7, Rin, Honoka, and Nico Yazawa had to work hard to pass exams in order to enter the Love Live! tournament, and are known as the "San baka (三馬鹿)".

Though she is similar to Honoka in many ways, one key difference between the two is that Rin seems to be extremely mindful of other people's opinions. This is shown multiple times throughout the anime.

She also usually ends her sentences with nya~! (Meow). In addition, she sometimes acts like a cat and does the signature curved-mouth look. In "Korekara no Someday", she even dressed up in a costume with cat ears and a tail.

Clubs and Hobbies
Rin is great at sports, and is skilled in hurdling, football, and basketball. She enjoys dancing and is the current practice leader of μ's. Her special skill is her sharp nose, which is almost on par with a dog's.
