Appearance
Momoka has a striking appearance that makes her stand out among other aspiring idols.
Her hair is long, voluminous, and styled into curly twin tails. The left half is glossy black, while the right half is pastel pink. Her thick bangs follow the same split-color pattern, framing her face and emphasizing her unusual appearance.
Her eyes are bright pink with distinctive five-pointed star-shaped pupils, giving her an almost perpetually sparkling expression. She has fair skin, naturally rosy cheeks, and a small, delicate-looking face.
Momoka prefers cute black-and-pink outfits, cropped jackets, pleated skirts, ribbons, and heart-shaped jewelry. Her signature accessory is a thin black choker with a tiny pink star pendant.
Her voice is sweet and slightly high-pitched. She knows exactly how to make herself sound softer and more innocent whenever she wants attention.
Her appearance is practically designed to make people underestimate her.
Personality — The Ultimate Pick-Me
Momoka is the type of girl who insists she doesn't compete with other girls while doing everything possible to make herself look superior to them.
She believes she's different from most girls because she's supposedly more laid-back, less dramatic, and easier for boys to understand. In reality, she's constantly comparing herself to other women and looking for opportunities to make herself appear more appealing.
Her Pick-Me Behaviors
“I'm not like other girls.” Momoka frequently claims other girls are too dramatic, jealous, or obsessed with their appearances.
Pretending to be clueless. She'll act confused about something she understands perfectly if it means a boy can explain it to her.
Fishing for compliments. She asks whether she's annoying, unattractive, or acting strangely, hoping someone will reassure her that she's adorable.
Competing for attention. If another girl receives a compliment, Momoka finds a way to redirect the conversation toward herself.
Weaponized innocence. When confronted, she widens her eyes and asks why someone is being so mean to her.
Performative helplessness. She suddenly struggles with simple tasks whenever a boy she likes is nearby.
Backhanded compliments. She praises other girls while slipping in subtle insults that she can later deny.
Playing the victim. If someone calls out her behavior, she acts as though she's being bullied for being friendly.
Momoka's greatest hypocrisy is that she works incredibly hard on her appearance, idol skills, and public image while claiming that she doesn't even try to be cute.
Her Favorite Lines
“Girls are honestly so scary. I'm just more comfortable around boys!”
“Oh, you can dance really well! I could never be that intense about something.”
“I don't even try to look cute. Is that weird? Everyone keeps saying I am.”
“Wait, are you mad at me? I didn't mean to make you feel insecure!”
“I guess boys just find me easier to talk to. I don't know why!”
“I'm not trying to steal anyone's attention! I just wanted to help!”
She delivers every line with a sweet smile, as though she genuinely cannot understand why anyone would find her irritating.
Idol Career
Momoka dreams of becoming a famous idol, but she wants something even more important: to be considered the most lovable girl in the entertainment industry.
She understands that talent isn't the only thing that matters in show business. Public perception, social media presence, fan engagement, and a carefully maintained personality can all influence an idol's success.
Momoka uses these things to her advantage.
Strengths
Naturally charismatic during interviews.
Skilled at reading an audience.
Excellent at maintaining a cute, approachable public image.
Remembers personal details about people who might benefit her career.
Surprisingly competitive and determined during performances.
Understands how to attract attention without appearing openly desperate for it.
Weaknesses
Takes criticism personally.
Cannot stand being overshadowed by another girl.
Becomes visibly irritated when attention shifts away from her.
Struggles to maintain friendships with people who see through her act.
Underestimates genuinely talented girls because she assumes they must be jealous of her.
Becomes increasingly petty when someone refuses to give her the attention she expects.
Momoka isn't talentless. She can sing, dance, and perform well enough to earn opportunities. Her problem is that she cares more about being everyone's favorite than about improving herself.
Relationships With Other Characters
Ruby Hoshino
Momoka sees Ruby as a rival.
Ruby's enthusiasm for idols and natural excitement about performing irritate Momoka because Ruby can attract attention without constantly insisting she's different from other girls.
Momoka compliments Ruby's stage presence in public but secretly compares their performances, outfits, and popularity.
If Ruby receives more praise, Momoka might respond with a sweet little remark.
Momoka: “Ruby, you're so amazing! I could never be that confident onstage. I'd be embarrassed if everyone stared at me that much!”
She pretends to admire Ruby while subtly implying that Ruby is attention-seeking.
Aqua Hoshino
Momoka tries to make herself appear unusually understanding around Aqua.
She acts as though she's the only girl who doesn't pressure him to talk about his feelings. She speaks softly, pretends to be concerned about him, and tries to establish herself as someone he can trust.
However, Aqua is observant and difficult to manipulate. He may recognize the difference between Momoka's public persona and her actual intentions.
His lack of interest in her tactics frustrates her because she cannot easily make him react the way she wants.
Kana Arima
Kana is one of Momoka's least favorite people.
Kana's sharp tongue, experience in the entertainment industry, and refusal to tolerate insincerity make her difficult to fool. Momoka dislikes how Kana can criticize her without being impressed by her innocent act.
Momoka frequently describes Kana as intimidating or overly competitive while privately resenting her talent.
Momoka: “Kana is really talented! She's just a little scary sometimes. I'm always afraid I'll accidentally upset her.”
Kana: “You're not afraid of upsetting me. You're afraid I know what you're doing.”
Momoka would laugh awkwardly and pretend she didn't understand the accusation.
Mem-cho
Momoka recognizes Mem-cho as a formidable opponent in the social-media world.
She tries to imitate Mem-cho's approachable energy and audience-friendly personality, but Mem-cho's experience with online audiences makes her more likely to notice when someone's friendliness feels calculated.
Momoka is especially irritated by Mem-cho's ability to be playful and confident without putting other women down to gain attention.
Behavior in Different Situations
Around male idols: Momoka becomes giggly, attentive, and enthusiastic. She remembers their favorite foods, laughs at their jokes, and acts as though their opinions matter more than anyone else's.
Around female idols: She's friendly on the surface, but her compliments often contain subtle insults. She likes making other girls question themselves without appearing openly hostile.
In front of cameras: Momoka is almost impossibly sweet. She praises fellow performers, thanks her fans constantly, and pretends to be humbled by every compliment.
When ignored: Her cheerful expression becomes strained. She tries harder to regain attention, often interrupting conversations or manufacturing a reason for someone to help her.
When confronted: She acts confused, apologizes dramatically, and attempts to make the person confronting her look unnecessarily cruel.
When another girl succeeds: Momoka congratulates her with a smile, then privately analyzes what made her successful and looks for a way to outdo her.
Introduction Scene
An entertainment agency is hosting a small gathering for young performers. Momoka enters the room with a bright smile, her pink-and-black curls bouncing behind her.
Momoka: “Hi! I'm Momoka Kurose! It's so nice to meet everyone!”
She bows politely before noticing several male performers chatting near the refreshments.
Momoka: “Oh, you guys are here too! Yay! I'm always so nervous around new girls, but boys are usually much easier to talk to.”
Kana raises an eyebrow.
Kana: “You literally just walked in and started talking to everyone.”
Momoka blinks innocently.
Momoka: “Huh? Was that wrong? I'm sorry! I didn't mean to upset you...”
Her expression falls just enough for the nearby boys to notice.
Momoka: “I just wanted everyone to get along.”
Kana stares at her, unimpressed.
Kana: “You know, you could just talk to people without making everything a competition.”
Momoka's smile remains perfectly in place.
Momoka: “A competition? Oh, no! I don't compete with girls.”
She turns toward the others with a little laugh.
Momoka: “I'm really not that kind of person.”
For a brief moment, her pink star-shaped pupils seem to sharpen.
She has already decided that Kana is going to be a problem.
And Momoka Kurose absolutely hates having problems she can't smile her way out of.
Character Summary
Momoka Kurose is an 18-year-old aspiring idol whose cute, split-color appearance and sparkling star-shaped eyes conceal an intensely competitive personality.
She wants to be adored by male idols, admired by fans, and regarded as the sweetest girl in every room. She uses fake innocence, subtle insults, and calculated helplessness to make herself look superior to other girls without appearing openly malicious.
Her greatest weakness isn't a lack of talent. It's her inability to accept that another girl can be talented, beautiful, or lovable without that somehow diminishing her own worth.
