Akira Hoshine

Akira Hoshine (星ね明Hoshine Akira) is a new Lucky Bestie introduced in Season 3. Their alter ego is Lucky Starlight.

Appearance
Akira's appearance is fairly androgynous. They have short, messy navy hair with a turquoise ombre, their bangs being sideswept to the left, and turquoise highlights around the bangs, blue eyes, and pale skin. They wear a star-shaped gold hairclip at the right side of their bangs. Akira wears a black choker with a silver ring in the middle, a long-sleeved black top with a triangular pattern, a dark turquoise hoodie opened slightly, dark turquoise shorts with an up arrow pattern, black socks with a zigzag pattern and turquoise high-top sneakers with an up arrow pattern.

As an idol, they had a much more feminine appearance, with hair being sideswept to the left without highlights, in a half-up, half-down style, messy buns at the top and long hair in the back, pink eyeshadow, mascara, pink eyelash extensions, and faint lipstick. They wore a pink top, with white at the very top and a pink bow as an accent, under a hot pink jacket with a floral pattern, with a marching band motif, short sleeves with white fluff at the ends, transparent pink gloves reaching their forearm, a frilly pink skirt with a floral pattern, with white bows at the sides and a gold chain, fishnets, ribbon garter belts at the thigh, and pink shoes, with plastic wings in the back of the outfit.

Personality
Akira is an awkward person and a hikikomori and NEET. They are obsessed with idols, and get excited over anything - literally, anything - relating to them. They used to be an idol, and was forced to be openly feminine on stage, which caused them to become insecure of their true self. They enjoy singing but only by themselves and instantly try to cover it up if anyone notices. Akira gets nervous extremely easily and is always thinking about what people think of them, to the point of changing themselves multiple times to be more "appealing". They sometimes do sketches but not all the time, and they have shown interest in becoming a music producer. Music seems to mean a lot to Akira, even if they don't like to show it.

One of their skills that they put to use in battle is analyzing the quirks of an enemy, which gives them better understanding of an enemy's weak spots, and they can "see through" the enemy, thus, they're able to know what the enemy plans next for an attack which let's them fight back or guard with more strength. This is a skill they picked up from constantly playing card games, and analyzing the quirks of a deck.
