Background
A girl from Vienna, Austria; the youngest daughter of an important musical family. She has been called a prodigy for singing since she was a little girl.

However, Wien's parents decided to give her a second chance, and they made a deal with her involving Love Live, which is famous enough for people in Vienna to know about it.

Appearance
Wien has a slim figure with long, purple hair that is curly, with half of her hair being in a braid along the top of her head. Her eyes are green in color.

As a Yuigaoka student, she wears a uniform consisting of a dark blue blazer, a black shirt and skirt and a white collared shirt with a red ribbon.

Personality
Wien is a cold-blooded, passionate and stoic girl, and doesn't seem to express much emotion, but can act recklessly or overdramatically when fussy. She's strongly confident in her abilities and talents, always delivering powerful performances, and never wanting to be compared to other idols, especially Kanon. She takes her aspirations very seriously, and isn't afraid to affront others she deems lower than her level.

She can also have a cute side, though.

Her favorite saying is, "Stick to your guns."

Hobbies
Wien is shown to be skilled at both ballet and singing, incorporating ballet into her choreography.
