Ai was a beautiful, rather slender girl, shorter than average, with indigo eyes, pink highlights, and a six-pointed white/light magenta star in each eye, which sometimes darkened depending on her mood. On the cover of the first chapter, she has reddish-brown hair, but on the cover of the first volume, it appears to be a deeper indigo with purple highlights. Her hair was usually half-up, with a side ponytail on the left side of her head.

In most advertisements, her idol outfit was a dress adorned with a pink aesthetic in various shades, with some yellow details. The outfit's design had an overall ruffled appearance. She is seen wearing a yellow turtleneck design with fuchsia ruffles on the chest and a black belt at the waist. Other accessories include three turquoise stars on the chest, a pink winged heart accessory with a silver outline, and a cream-colored bunny hair clip adorning her ponytail along with two gold stars, white ruffles, and a pink ribbon. She is also seen wearing fuchsia ruffled gloves with a small purple bow on each glove and sparkly fuchsia knee-high boots.

Ai's childhood was marked by profound neglect and trauma. After her mother's arrest for theft, Ai was placed in an orphanage, having survived an abusive home where she suffered physical abuse and her mother's jealous cruelty. These experiences left her with a deep emotional void and a complete lack of experience in forming healthy relationships. However, this hostile environment also fostered in her a unique and astute survival instinct. Although she lacked formal education and appeared clumsy, Ai possessed intuitive and strategic intelligence. This allowed her to navigate the ruthless entertainment industry more effectively than the adults around her.

Initially, Ai was a shy, asocial girl who viewed the world with apathy and detachment. When Ichigo Saitou discovered her, he mentioned her inability to love, but she was deeply drawn to his idea that "lying is a form of love." This concept became her core philosophy, transforming her into an altruistic and deceptive performer. Ai used pathological deception as the foundation for her career, considering her idol persona a "lie" she hoped would one day become reality. She was also an extremely calculating and deeply responsible professional. She meticulously perfected her performance, even using the genuine joy she felt for her children to "correct" a smile that fans had criticized as fake. However, due to her own difficult childhood, she retained a deep empathy—an organic, pure, and universal empathy for the loneliness of others. Completely lacking ego, she fully understood her isolation, yet she herself remained socially isolated, maintaining no close friendships even within her own group, B-Komachi.

Ai Hoshino was a victim of domestic violence at the hands of her mother, her only parent during her childhood. According to her mother, when Ai was eight or nine years old, her boyfriend at the time began to develop feelings for her, and the domestic abuse stemmed from jealousy.

Later, when Ai was very young, her mother was arrested for theft. As a result of her imprisonment, Ai had to live in an orphanage for the duration of her sentence. However, upon her release, her mother did not return to the orphanage to find her daughter, so Ai had to remain there and grow up within its walls.

When Ai turned twelve, the president of Ichigo Production, Inc., Ichigo Saitou, discovered her and offered her a job as an idol. At the time, she felt unsuited for the position, as she had never known love or been loved. However, Ichigo persuaded her by explaining that she didn't need to know and that lying could work just as well. He gave her hope: the hope that she could turn that lie into truth. What followed were four successful years as the face of the popular idol group B-Komachi.

B-Komachi is an idol group affiliated with Ichigo Production, Inc.

The original generation of B-Komachi was active from the time Ai Hoshino debuted at age twelve. Originally, the group had four members, including Ai, which later increased after they joined Ichigo Production, Inc.

With her unique charm, Ai had become the center of attention and popularity within the group. This generated tension and jealousy within the group, and even accusations of favoritism from the agency. However, everyone involved was aware of Ai's importance and indispensability, and she would soon become the undisputed ace and heart of B-Komachi.
