I remember starting out in the Love Live fandom with an interest in Maki, but a certain experience helped me gain interest in Nozomi as well.

One day, I felt an intense amount of stress, and I was unsure how to calm myself down...and then I decided to look at fanart of Nozomi. Seeing those beautiful artworks of such a sweetheart like her cheered me up after an hour or two of browsing.

Since then, I wanted to learn more about her, and I fell even more in love with her character once I got to know her. Although she has her mischievous side, she's also very motherly and spiritual and gives off a generally comforting presence.

When I see her being happy, my heart feels that same happiness.

My favorite UR of her was her Halloween UR, and I was very happy to be able to idolize her! She's my first idolized UR, too! Because of that, I made this edit of her:

Here's one picture I drew of her back around Christmas time! (feat. Maki)

Happy birthday, Nozomi! You deserve an amazing time with your fellow group members...
