Ayumu Uehara

Ayumu Uehara is one of the main characters of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. She is a second year at Nijigasaki High School. She is a member of A・ZU・NA, a unit under Nijigaki. Her image color is light pink.

Background
An ordinary girl with no exceptional talents, Ayumu is seemingly content with just living a normal high school life. But when she and her best friend, Yu Takasaki, stumbled upon a school idol performance for the first time, a new path would suddenly appear in Ayumu's world. Despite not being able to sing or dance, Ayumu would nevertheless venture on to become a school idol herself.

Personality
Ayumu is a hardworking girl that puts her everything into what she does. She is not very skilled in her school idol activities, but she continues to try her hardest. Sometimes, she becomes anxious about her capabilities, but she can be comforted by her fellow idols.

She is kind, innocent, and sincere, often responding to the mischief from Karin Asaka and Kasumi Nakasu in a pure manner, which throws the two of them off-guard. However, she doesn't do this intentionally and is truly a pure-hearted girl. She tries her best to be helpful to others.

She can also be rather clumsy at times.

Clubs and Hobbies
Ayumu likes Pokémon, as confirmed in the 4koma.

She tries to study fashion and other "girly" things.

Notes & Trivia

 * Ayumu fulfills the pure attribute of the NijiGaku second years.
 * The name Ayumu means "walk" (歩) (ayu) and "dream, vision" (夢) (mu).
 * Ayumu's surname Uehara means "above, top, upper" (上) (ue) and "field, plain" (原) (hara).
 * Along with Ai Miyashita and Rina Tennoji, Ayumu works with Famitsu App.
 * In the Famitsu App 4-koma, she is shown to own a pet snake named Sasuke. However, in one of the All Stars Daily Theater segment, her conversation with Chika implies that Ayumu doesn't own any pets which disprove the existence of her pet snake Sasuke from the Famitsu 4-komas.
 * Sasuke makes an appearance as Ayumu's plush toy/pillow in Muteki-kyuu*Believer PV. It also became one of the official goods for Nijigaku's 2nd Live. Ayumu also wears a hairpin of Sasuke in this official art.
