The character known as Giraffe is a non-human entity that oversees the mysterious auditions called Revues, which occur in an otherworldly underground theater. This entity, which controls the Stage of Fate, maintains a calm disposition and holds a profound interest in stage performances, continually seeking new and unpredictable scenes to unfold.
Physically, the Giraffe resembles a normal giraffe and exhibits species-typical behaviors, apart from its ability to communicate with humans. It serves as the host of the stage of fate, presiding over the stage girls' eternal moment.
A significant aspect of the Giraffe's nature is its representation of the audience. As the stage consists of both performers and spectators, the Giraffe embodies the latter, watching over the girls and desiring for the performance to never end. This perspective influences its reactions, assumptions, and commentary, reflecting the expectations and biases an audience brings to a competitive top star system.
The Giraffe's role involves summoning participants to the auditions, setting the rules, and observing the battles. It proclaims that those who pass will have the path to becoming the Top Star revealed and be qualified to stand upon the stage of fate. It instructs participants to sing, dance, and battle, noting that a stronger brilliance will dominate the stage. The removal of a red cloak signifies the end of a Revue, though the event is considered an audition rather than a defeat.
In the recap film, the Giraffe engages in commentary with Nana Daiba after the main story's events, reflecting on the Revues and the narrative that transpired. It remarks that the author of the in-universe play "Starlight" is unknown and that the girls have created a new ending for it, suggesting the play is a wild card. This conversation precedes ominous new scenes hinting at a future story.
The Giraffe’s commentary often carries thematic weight, at one point observing a stage that never ends and describing it as the atonement for a stage girl who must surely die, in reference to the stage of fate a character has chosen.
