Rinami

Rinami Himesaki is a third-year idol and member of the Student Council at Hatsuboshi Academy.

Rinami is an earnest, observant, and empathetic individual. She goes out of her way to help others without being asked- whether in her dormitory life or out and about in public. Rinami's helpful nature also serves her as a member of Hatsuboshi Academy's Student Council, where she is currently secretary- considered a member of the inner circle (and a key voice of reason) as an upperclassman. On campus, Rinami is known as "everyone's big sister," and frequently given the nickname "Rinami-nee-san," due to her predisposition to helping others with their issues- often without them even asking for help. In public, outside of Hatsuboshi Academy, Rinami is known to have an eye for those who need assistance, one time going out of her way to help a child lost after her live show at an amusement park, for example, and initially having crossed paths with the Producer when they were a small child on their own during the summertime. Their paths diverged until the Producer sought to scout Rinami at Hatsuboshi Academy.

Prior to meeting the Producer at Hatsuboshi Academy, Rinami debuted as a member of a little-sister-concept group in her first year but was asked to leave the group as a result of her overwhelming unpopularity when compared to her unit mates. As a result, Rinami's self-confidence as an idol has been shaken, and she finds herself weak to others' opinions and perceptions- making her performances feel unappealing and forced. Despite her low confidence, Rinami holds onto her dream of becoming an idol- although at the outset of the story, she has nearly given up on this dream, telling Producer that she had resigned herself to retiring as an idol following her graduation, before her scouting.

Despite her exterior of positivity and encouragement offered to others, Rinami's self-awareness often leads to a negative self-image, repeatedly calling herself selfish and perceiving herself as unable to fit in due to her height and atmosphere as an individual, yet unable to change enough to stand out to others. Throughout her stories, Rinami often expresses a variety of anxieties, from feeling small and worried about the future, to inadequacy and vulnerability. Rinami's anxious personality seems both tied to her experiences in her first-year unit, as well as a part of her intrinsic self often externalizing this anxiety by seeking to help others without any reservation. Being viewed as a reliable individual by those around her, Rinami often finds expressing this weakness openly difficult, and the lyrics of some of her songs touch on this duplicity.

Having familiarity with Rinami's "onee-san" charm through their initial meeting as children, the Producer seeks to showcase Rinami's natural charm in an open way to others through Rinami's performances, encouraging her to become "everyone's older sister" and using themself as a direct way for Rinami to practice cultivating an "onee-san" image.
