Nico Yazawa

About Nico
Nico Yazawa is one of the nine main characters in Love Live!. Despite her childlike stature, she is actually a third-year in Otonokizaka High School. Her image color is pink. She is a member of BiBi, a sub-unit under μ's.

Background
In Season 1 Episode 5, it is discovered that during her first year in high school, she started an idol group. However, one by one, the members gave up because Nico's goal to become an idol was too much for them, and they couldn't keep up.

In Season 2 Episode 4, it is revealed she has two younger sisters Cocoro and Cocoa, and a younger brother Cotaro.

Appearance
Despite being a third year in Otonokizaka High School, Nico has a childlike stature, due to the fact that she is short and flat-chested.

Nico has long, straight, black hair that is often tied into high pigtails using red ribbons, and radiant, cherry-red eyes. Her hair reaches her back. She sometimes lets her hair down, or ties it into a low ponytail.

Nico has very fair skin, and she also has bangs.

Personality
Normally, Nico has quite an abrasive personality, but when she takes on her alternate personality, she becomes a happy, upbeat character who is always smiling, often saying her catchphrase, "Nico Nico Nii!" (にっこにっこにー), accompanied with a pose. She usually thinks a bit highly of herself but, despite that, she is also caring.

A common joke in the series is that she's often ignored by the other members of μ's, when she claims that she is the better idol. An example of her trying to make the others believe she is the better idol is in Season 1 Episode 10, when Nico claims that she has a personal chef like Maki, and has never cooked before. The gullible Kotori falls for the lie unknowingly. However, she accidentally forgot about her lie when it was dinner time, and ended up cooking for everyone to reveal the truth.

Nico often gets annoyed with the former student council president, Eli Ayase, for taking away the spotlight from her with her beauty and maturity.

Nico often tries to be cute.

Clubs and Hobbies
Nico was the Idol Research Club's president (before she passed on the role to Hanayo) and is interested in fashion. Therefore, she designs the group's outfits with Kotori. Her special skill is hair arrangement.

In Season 1 Episode 10, Nico is shown to be a very skilled cook despite saying she has never cooked before.
