Nozomi Tojo

Toujou Nozomi is one of the nine main characters in Love Live!. She is a third year in Otonokizaka High School. She has purple hair tied in two low twin-tails, and has turquoise eyes. Her theme color is purple. She is a member of lily white, a sub-unit under μ's.

Background
Although not originally from the Kansai region, Nozomi speaks in a Kansai dialect after having lived there for a few years during her childhood. She is fluent in a few other languages as well, including English. She enjoys helping out at the local Kanda Shrine. Nozomi and Ayase Eli are close friends, and she has admitted to Kousaka Honoka that she has seen Eli's emotional side.

In Season 2 Episode 8 it is shown that since Nozomi and her family had moved around for most of her childhood, she was very shy and never really had any friends. She begins to break out of her shell after meeting Ayase Eli, even though she is still unable to bring herself to approach the rest until Honoka decides to form μ's.

Nozomi is also the one behind the name of μ's. She decided it, because she knew eventually the nine girls would come together. The Muses is also the the nine greek goddess and daughters of Zeus. Therefore, Nozomi suggests the name muse.

Personality
Nozomi is the former vice president of the school's student council. She often advises μ's and appears as wise, due to her tarot card reading or fortune telling skills. However, because her way of punishing them is by grabbing their breasts, she often seems perverted. Despite this, Nozomi is the eldest member of μ's. She also acts as the spiritual leader of the group, and has an almost all-knowing vibe to her.

Clubs and Hobbies
She likes spiritual things such as "power spots" and charms, though she is most well known for her fortune-telling which she uses as her secret method of quickly fitting in whenever she is forced to change environments. She also finds an interest in helping the other girls as much as possible. She was Otonokizaka High School's student council vice-president before Umi succeeded the position. It is also stated that she likes taking naps.

Trivia

 * The tarot deck that Nozomi uses isn't actually a real deck, but rather a hybrid of two.
 * In the first season, all the cards she is shown drawing are from the Major Arcana of the Rider-Waite tarot deck, which is odd in itself that her spiritual power only has her drawing from 22 instead of the whole 72-card deck.
 * In episode 6 of the second season, she is shown drawing the Two of Discs: Change, which is a Minor Arcana card from the Thoth-Crowley tarot deck. This deck is relatively less famous than the Rider-Waite tarot deck, and it is likely the writers resorted to it only because they couldn't find another card with an appropriate name for the episode's theme.
