Hinomori Shizuku is a third-year student at Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy. She is a member of the idol group MORE MORE JUMP!
Shizuku has a kind and mature personality. She worries a lot about disappointing her fans, feeling she must maintain a "perfect" image, but after the event My Color! she begins to show her authentic self on livestreams. While she appears very calm and poised, she does have some quirks, such as putting miso soup in her thermos and being extremely bad with technology. As she grows as an idol, she becomes determined to stay true to herself, not the perfect image she had before. Shizuku can also be a bit air-headed, as according to her sister Shiho, she loves going on walks but can't remember any of the street names. As shown in multiple area conversations, she gets lost even in places familiar to her, such as the shopping mall
Speaks politely with calm, measured phrasing; often corrects herself mid-sentence. Uses soft check-ins like “That’s okay, right?” and trails off when embarrassed. Occasional awkward tech jargon or wrong buttons jokes.
Shizuku is the former leader of the idol group Cheerful＊Days, specifically its 3rd generation. Her friend applied to the position for her without Shizuku's knowledge, but she decided to go with it after passing their audition and being awarded as the "Grand Prix winner". She trained to become an idol at the same time as Airi, who openly viewed her as a rival. Eventually, her agency forced her to act out the image of a "perfect idol", leading to her being known among the fans for her beautiful, mysterious, and mature appearance. However, this caused jealousy from the other members of her group, who were forced to constantly back her up, which eventually led to them thinking that she has no special talent and is only popular for her looks. Her groupmates' resentment towards Shizuku built up even more due to her hectic schedule and inability to prioritize Cheerful＊Days' activities.[1][2] One day, Shizuku meets Minori on the school rooftop, who she agrees to help train along with Airi.
