A bright and outgoing individual, Hoshino truly is the embodiment of her name. She's bubbly and a self-described social butterfly, and yet nothing can escape the notice of her sharp, observant eyes. Her singing voice is filled with energy and is as clear as a bell, making her the perfect co-leader of her high school's very first Idol Club.

Self-Introduction (!-era)
Hiya! I'm Hoshino, 1st year student at Karasuno High. I moved to Sendai only last year because of my mom's work, and used to live in Vancouver. Yup, I'm Canadian! It's been pretty difficult adjusting to the cultural change, but I'm slowly getting used to it. I'm the co-founder of my high school's idol club,Thaïs. I'm not the greatest dancer, but Yui-san is helping me a lot with that. Oh, I just remembered! We'll be performing live for the first time ever at our school's cultural festival. I'm so nervous and excited, hopefully it'll be a smash hit... we'll be recording it for NicoNico and YouTube, so keep an eye out! ☆

Self-Introduction (post-!!)
Hiya! I'm Hoshino, a 3rd year student studying Mechanical Engineering at UTokyo. I moved to Sendai some years ago with my family, and I like it here a lot, but I'm really a Vancouverite at heart. I love the hustle and bustle of the big city, which is why I'm so happy to be studying in Tokyo! Let's see... I'm also a vocalist and pianist for Pleiades, a cover band that my friend Tsurumi and I founded. There's 5 members total, and it's an absolute honor to sing with them! We always have an end-of-the-year concert planned for December, and I'd be thrilled if you could join us ♡

From Rei (post-!!)
I first encountered Hoshino-chan after Hinata-kun showed me a video of an amateur school idol group. Back then, she was still "Miya-chan", clearly a stage name meant to protect her identity. I never expected to meet her in-person, but perhaps that day on Yumenosaki grounds was fated. She has a beautiful heart, and a sharp and unyielding mind. I am absolutely honored to have made her acquaintance, and I hope she will be returning to Anzu-chan's apartment yet again this coming August.
________________________________________________________________

From Anzu (post-!!)
I honestly had no idea what to expect from Hoshino-chan at first, but now that I've known her for a while, I can definitely count her as one of my dearest friends. Her passion for music is incredible, and her support's been invaluable to me during the Augusts of these past few years... I still can't believe Rei-san asked if she could stay over in my apartment sometimes!

Appearance

*see her profile image for her general appearance*On warmer days, she likes to mix and match her casual outfit. Either a bold red off-the-shoulder shirt with ruffles around the neckline, or a golden yellow shirt with cut-out shoulders will be her top of the day. Her bottom might be a white pleated and hemmed skirt, or navy blue jean shorts with a rolled-up hem. Low-heeled light brown suede boots complete her ensemble, though sometimes she'll opt for black and white converse shoes instead.On colder days, her casual outfit consists of a sandy brown sweater with long sleeves and light blue jeans. Her suede boots make a reappearance, and she might wear a gray-pink wrap coat for extremely cold and blustery winter days.Later on, she also wears a zircon necklace on a delicate golden chain, a birthday gift to her from Anzu, UNDEAD & 2wink that Rei presented to her.

Personality

Hoshino is a star, in so many senses of the word, shining brilliantly even on the darkest of nights. Her charismatic disposition draws in just as many people as it alienates, and she seems rather comfortable in her own skin, never really minding what others say about her, so long as she can be herself.She's quite sociable, finding the high-energy exuded by some of her friends and acquaintances to be contagious, and easily gets caught up in the heat of the moment. Some might describe her as erratic and wild, and she wouldn't necessarily disagree with this assessment of her character. She loves to tease her friends, and always has a witty remark or a sarcastic comeback at the tip of her tongue for any social interaction.Although Hoshino keeps up a genki personality, she's no airhead. She's clever and a natural problem-solver, easily achieving top marks in her classes... when she's not limited by her lack of understanding of kanji. She is observant to a fault, noticing the tiny details in the feelings of the people around her. Unfortunately, she's rather dense when it comes to her own.Despite her extroverted demeanor, Hoshino highly values her alone time. When she's alone, or with a select group of extremely close family or friends, a more contemplative and occasionally melancholic side of her surfaces, as though her usual liveliness is a mere facade.She is kind, and loyal to a fault to her people, but is never afraid to speak her mind, which can sometimes land her in hot water. She can be as stubborn as a mule, and once her heart is truly set on something, she's not so easily swayed. Still, her inquisitive nature makes her open-minded about other people's opinions and experiences, and she can be persuaded to change her mind if she believes their viewpoints make more sense than her own.

Etymology

The name Hoshino means "star field" (星野), and although rather unconventional as a given name, there is a reason behind it. Her mother Akiha claims it came to her in a dream, right before Hoshino was born. She saw "a gorgeous vision of a field of stars overhead", complete with a wondrous array of nebulae and galaxies. Hoshino personally doubts this ever happened.The surname "Miyamoto" has a variety of possible meanings depending on how the kanji are read, but most likely means "origin palace" (宮本) in this iteration.

Family

Her mother, Akiha, works as a translator for academic and government writing (English, Japanese, French). She's rather strict, particularly when it comes to her children's academic performance, but is nonetheless an understanding parent.Her father, Izaya, is an IT consultant. Since he can easily work from home, he's been the stay-at-home parent for the majority of Hoshino's life. He's relatively relaxed as a parent, with very few expectations for his children, but is a stickler for curfews.Her older brother, Takeshi, is an aspiring filmmaker and talented photographer. They are practically twins, being just barely 1 year apart in age, and no matter how much one will annoy they other, they will always support each other at the end of the day. He is the one who pushed her towards becoming a setter in volleyball, though not without his own selfish reasoning: "If you're a setter, then I can practice spikes anywhere!". He is also fiercely protective of her and is intensely watchful when strangers interact with her, a force of habit after witnessing how relentlessly she was ostracized in elementary school.

Trivia & History

  • Hoshino is a quarter British-Canadian from her grandmother on her mother's side. Her grandmother was from a well-to-do "old money" British family, but she was disowned after she chose to marry Hoshino's (Japanese-Canadian) grandfather.

  • She's trilingual, speaking English and Japanese fluently, and French not-so-fluently. She remembers a tiny bit of Mandarin Chinese from her best friend, Summer Chang, but she claims "her tones are awful".

  • She loves animals, but would never want a pet of her own.

  • Her older brother, Takeshi, is almost exactly 1 year older than her (January 5th). Still, they've always been in the same class, as the age cut-offs in Canada are from January through December of the same year.

  • Hoshino is openly bisexual, and has never really struggled with this part of herself. She's had both a serious girlfriend (Summer Chang) and a short-term boyfriend (Kei Tsukishima) prior to her 3rd year at university, but she hasn't dated anyone in 5 years.

  • When she still lived in Vancouver, Hoshino's hair was not permed, instead being long and voluminous, nearly reaching the small of her back. She changed her hairstyle after the move to shake things up, and ended up liking it so much she's kept it permed since.

  • Hoshino's favourite anime is Macross, and she used to watch reruns of old SDF episodes all the time with her father as a kid. She cites Lynn Minmay as her primary inspiration for learning how to sing.

Serena's Comments

I've been in love with Hoshino from the moment she popped into my head in 2016, back when I was deep in my Haikyuu phase and felt immense cringe for creating OCs to insert into various fictional worlds.I hid her for the longest time because of the cringe, but I've always been incredibly proud of her design. She's definitely taken on a lot of my interests (piano, singing, Macross, idols, star student), but she's definitely not a self-insert. She's way cooler than I am & also I would never date Rei Sakuma bc I'm not insane LMAO8 years later, I still love Hoshino more than ever, and cringe is dead af, so now I'm out here doing whatever the h*ll I want! 😈Long live cringe and SakuMiya!!! 💖🤡🐒PS. feel free to ask me to send you this card as a template, I'll probably ask you to draw a doodle of Hoshino as payment though. It took me 8 hours to set this carrd up so I'll never give it up without a good fight 🤣

EveningHey, good evening! It's been a long day, so you should probably take a good rest if you can ♡ As for me, I've still got some stuff to do...
NightI didn't expect you to be up too! I promise I'll go to bed soon. They've really been piling on the homework in Mechanical Failure Analysis, so I gotta finish that first.
School - Group Project*faint mumbling*... oops, I was thinking aloud again. Sorry, I'm in a bit of a bad mood. Why is everyone in my group so set on getting me to do all of the report writing? You've seen me with kanji, I'm awful at it!
School - ExamsAck, I've been so busy lately I haven't had the chance to say hi! It'll be exam season soon. *sigh* Why does everything have to be done with standardized testing?
Pleiades - RehearsalCan't talk, gotta run! Miyu-chan will have my hide if I'm late to rehearsal again!
Pleiades - BrainstormI've been trying to think of some new songs for my band to cover, but it's been difficult. If you've got the time, do you mind helping me out a bit?
Spring NoonMm, you can really smell the flowers now, they're in full bloom! I do feel bad for all the people who have seasonal allergies though...
Summer NightThe cool balmy air is so perfect after a sweltering day... a long walk at the beach sounds absolutely dreamy in this weather.
Autumn EveningBrr, it's starting to get chilly. I gotta remember to start wearing my winter coat or I'll probably catch a cold soon.
Winter MorningWhoa, I can't believe it snowed last night! I remember making snow angels with Takeshi when we were kids... that was rare though because it never snowed like this in Vancouver ~

Chinese New YearI looked at the calendar yesterday... I can't believe it's already Chinese New Year. I guess I always feel a bit sad this time of year because the lanterns in Yokohama remind me of Summer.
Valentine's DayHappy Valentine's Day! Do you have a special someone in your heart today? As for me, I've got my eyes on a Belgian chocolate set that'll be on sale tomorrow morning ~ ♪
EasterHoppy Easter! Heh, does that pun not work so well in Japanese? I used to love going on egg hunts as a kid back in Vancouver... some things do change once you're an adult though... *sigh*
Golden WeekFinally, a chance to relax from all the homework! Will you be going back home for Golden Week? I wish I could, but the truth is I still have a lot of work to do, and Sendai is so far away...
August 1stI can't believe it's that time of year again! I'll be living with Anzu for the next month, so text me on Line if you need something, 'cause I won't be at university! ☆
HalloweenBoo! Did I scare you? Not even a little bit? Aww, I guess you're one tough cookie. There'll be a costume party hosted by a friend of mine later, so I'm real excited for that! I'll be going as a little devil this year... you'll see me if you swing by 😈
ChristmasMerry Christmas! I'm wishing you and your family the warmest and jolliest of holidays, and I hope you spend time with people you really love.

ReiOya, I was rather hoping I would bump into you, Hoshino-chan. Would you like to go on a drive this weekend? I do not wish to pressure you, but if you aren't too busy with university...

Hoshino...Rei-kun, do you think plants have feelings? I was reading a journal article about how they'll send out distress signals to warn nearby plants if something's been munching on them.
ReiHmm, this is a most unusual line of questioning, Hoshino-chan. I do not believe anyone has ever asked me something so strange before. I'll have to ponder this one...

KogaOi, Miya. Come visit the recording studio sometime, huh? Yuta and I've been missin' ya.

these are not written in Enstars-style even tho that would be the smart move bc it's easier to write pure dialogue than long-aah descriptions LMAOI'll put them up eventually when I feel like it
