Description
Cecil Aijima hails from Agnapolis, also known as Agna Palace, a desert kingdom famed for music and instrument craftsmanship. As its prince, he inherits the royal family's musical legacy, specializing in the flute. His mother was Japanese and his father the king; this mixed heritage provoked persecution from relatives, particularly an uncle despising his Japanese bloodline. These relatives cursed Cecil into the form of a black cat and exiled him from his homeland. While living as a cat in Japan, Haruka Nanami discovered him, named him Kuppuru, and provided care. The curse required reciprocated love to break, a condition fulfilled through his bond with Haruka.
Initially confident and bordering on arrogance, Cecil openly disdained becoming an idol and dismissed seniority, even challenging his mentor Camus. Witnessing ST☆RISH's dedication and inspired by Haruka's music reshaped his perspective, leading him to embrace idolhood earnestly. This transformation fostered increased modesty and respect. His royal upbringing initially fostered expectations of instant gratification, and cultural differences sometimes caused unintentional bluntness or social missteps, like forward romantic gestures or misreading professional boundaries. He actively works to adapt to Japanese customs while retaining his inherent curiosity, spiritual sensitivity, and perceptiveness towards others' feelings.
Cecil's relationships drive his journey. He shares an undisclosed maternal half-brother connection with Otoya Ittoki. His dynamic with Camus starts contentiously but evolves into mutual respect; Cecil becomes one of the few to perceive Camus's true nature beneath his aloofness and actively seeks his approval. Within ST☆RISH, he transitions from an outsider to a supportive member, offering guidance, such as advising Masato Hijirikawa on channeling personal feelings into performance. His devotion to Haruka remains constant, rooted in her role in breaking his curse and her embodiment of the musical goddess Muse, whom his family serves.
Magical abilities define part of his character: flight, temporarily transforming others into cats, and draining stamina to revert from his feline form. A necklace housing muses aids his poetic compositions. His desert origins instill an aversion to water and fish, and he also fears dogs. He owns a pet panther named Luu Luu, enjoys milk, rice balls, and melonpan, and practices magic as a hobby.
His development unfolds across story arcs. Early game routes feature fleeting appearances where he offers Haruka cryptic advice. His dedicated route involves breaking his curse by sealing the demon Satan using scattered musical scores, culminating in a love confession to Haruka. The anime's second season sees him join ST☆RISH after initial reluctance, navigate cultural clashes, and overcome challenges like performing on variety shows in a cat costume. Later seasons depict him as a full member contributing to group activities, symbolizing his integration and growth from a self-focused prince to a collaborative idol dedicated to inspiring others through music.
