Shiori's childhood and current best friend, they've always lived close to each other and now live together.

Later on, they create a brand, and a unit together.

History
Having known Shiori since they were kids, she's always been close to her. They've always admired idols, and set out to become idols themselves when they got older. Now being 15 and 14 years old, they decided on now to become idols, and enrolled in Eternal Dusk Academy, so they could be idols together as opposed to being in an agency where it's one or the other.

As the day for the Entrance Exam started, they weren't where Taiyo, Miyu and Mirai were and haven't gotten to know them yet. However, they aren't able to perform together on the Entrance Exam, which made Nozomi quite upset. Even if she said she'll do her best performing solo, she still wants to sing with Shiori, so she's trying to make changes to their numbers so they're the same, to no success.

During her performance, she performed an appeal no one has ever seen before: a Scenario Appeal. Not much is known about this kind of appeal, but because of it, there has been raising suspicions about Shiori and Nozomi.
