Ai Miyashita

Ai Miyashita is one of the ten main characters of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. She is a second year at Nijigasaki High School. Her image color is ultra orange (超オレンジ). She is a member of DiverDiva, a unit under the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

Background
Along with Ayumu Uehara and Rina Tennoji, Ai works with Famitsu App. She has known her neighbor since she was a child, and considers her to be her big sister. Because both of her parents work, she was mostly raised by her grandmother.

Personality
As a suggestible person who's always willing to help, Ai has a lot of friends who can be seen chatting with strangers at any given time. She is also very caring, especially with her family and friends. In the neighborhood she lives, she tends to refer to all sorts of people around as siblings.

Because she is a, she can be mistaken as the type to skip school or be rebellious. However, she has very good grades and is very fun-loving and nice, but she can be a bit loud and sometimes serves as a mood-maker to her fellow idols.

Ai tends to speak very casually, using a lot of slang. She is also known for her puns, many of which are not very funny to those around her. She easily laughs at bad puns, too.

Despite Ai having a flawless image in school and being very popular, Ai is very down-to-earth and does not perceive herself as better than others, especially her fellow school idols. She even seems unaware of her reputation, as she never pretends to be someone she isn't, nor is she conscious of whatever image she is giving off. In fact, contrary to her "cool" and "popular" image, Ai's frequent use of puns can sometimes come off as so lame that the other members react with visible exasperation.

Clubs and Hobbies
Typical of a gyaru, Ai likes fashion and mobile app/games. She also likes candy and sometimes carries extra with her.

Ai is excellent at both academics and sports. Due to her proficiency in nearly every activity possible, her openness to try her hand at anything fun, and her incredibly sociable attitude, she is the type of girl to have friends in every club, and as a result have also been involved with the activities of numerous clubs. Ai's top performance in all aspects of school combined with her many friends make her a very popular and likable classmate/student with a flawless image at school.

She also enjoys her grandmother's fermented pickles.
