Appearance: Ai has long blue-violet hair and gradient eyes (ranging from indigo-violet to pink). Each eye has a six-pointed star (white or light purple), which sometimes darkens depending on her state. In her idol persona, she wears a short pink dress and a bunny-shaped hair clip with ribbons.

Her goal is to become an idol, following in her mother's footsteps and realizing her own dreams (in her past life, she was unable to achieve many of these due to illness).

Appearance: Ruby has orange-blond hair (she wears half of it in a side ponytail on the left, just like Ai) and pink-ruby eyes. From the very beginning, she has a white and pink six-pointed star in her left eye (inherited from her mother).
