Rin Hoshizora

Hoshizora Rin is one of the nine main characters in Love Live!. She is a first year in Otonokizaka High School. Her surname, Hoshizora, means "starry skies." She has short, orange hair and chartreuse eyes. Her main color is yellow, but she 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 Koizumi Hanayo since they were children. She is very energetic and likes to play sports. As a child, she was teased for wearing shorts and pants rather than skirts. Because of this, she was not used to wearing skirts and decided she could not wear them.

Personality
Rin appears to be a bit of a tomboy. She mostly teases Koizumi 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 Kousaka Honoka's because they are both determined and hard-working. For example, in Season 1 Episode 7, Rin, Honoka, and Yazawa Nico 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 through out 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
Hoshizora 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.

Trivia

 * Despite acting like a cat, Rin is ironically allergic to cats. Hanayo and Rin once found a stray cat but could not adopt it due to Rin's allergies.
 * In the anime, Rin is the only known character to address Hanayo as "Kayo-chin."
