Background
Rin has been friends with Koizumi Hanayo since they were children. She likes to play sports, and she used to dress like a boy. When she was still a child, she was often teased because of this fact, so she was not used to wearing skirts.

Personality
Rin appears to be a tomboy due to playing sports and not wearing a skirt when she was a child. She mostly teases Koizumi Hanayo and appears to be with her most of the time. Her personality is similar to Kousaka Honoka's because they're both determined and hard-working. For example, in 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)"

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 one of the songs, 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.
