Description
Ai Miyashita is a lively second-year student at Nijigasaki High School and an active member of the school's idol club. She performs in the subunit DiverDiva, her vibrant image color designated as ultra orange. Her family's restaurant business meant her grandmother primarily raised her due to her parents' demanding work schedule. This close bond with her grandmother instilled a deep affection for her grandmother's homemade fermented pickles, nukazuke. Ai also shares a long-standing, sister-like relationship with her neighbor, Misato Kawamoto. Misato's childhood illness led Ai to develop a habit of telling puns to cheer her up, a trait Ai carries into her teen years.
Highly sociable, energetic, and approachable, Ai speaks casually, constantly weaving puns and wordplay into her conversations—especially jokes playing on her name "Ai," meaning "love"—though these often draw exasperated sighs rather than laughter. Her gyaru fashion features light blonde hair usually styled in a ponytail, an orange cardigan layered over her winter uniform, and accessories like wrist scrunchies. Yet, she defies gyaru stereotypes, excelling academically and athletically while actively participating in or assisting various school clubs. This earns her immense popularity and a flawless reputation among peers, though she remains largely unaware of it, presenting herself with genuine authenticity.
Her interests include fashion, mobile apps, games, and candy, which she typically carries. She joined the idol club after a classmate challenged her view of the idol world, framing it as an unexplored landscape—an appeal to novelty that resonated with her suggestible nature and thirst for new experiences. Concurrently, she collaborates with classmates Ayumu Uehara and Rina Tennōji on content for Famitsu App, assisting in article research. This role gave her media insights she applies to her idol activities. Ai shows notable support for Rina, readily using her communication board and planning social outings.
Across official narratives, Ai's development involves taking her idol role more seriously. While initially joining out of curiosity and a "go with the flow" attitude, she later grapples with her popularity compared to club members like Setsuna Yuki, Kanata Konoe, and Kasumi Nakasu. This led to a temporary departure to join Lanzhu Zhong's Association in one continuity, driven by a desire to elevate her status and reach new audiences, highlighting a newfound competitive drive and dedication. Despite such conflicts, she consistently values camaraderie, supporting fellow idols like Rina through emotional challenges while maintaining her empathetic and cheerful core.
Her speech retains its informal, pun-filled style across situations, though she can switch to formal keigo when necessary—a skill taught by her grandmother. She expresses a desire to showcase unseen perspectives through her performances and to make her grandmother proud.
Physically, Ai stands 163 cm tall with an athletic build, bright orange eyes, and measurements of 84 cm (bust), 53 cm (waist), and 86 cm (hips). Her signature summer look features her cardigan tied around her waist.
