I've been thinking about Nobuko's backstory a lot lately and this post is going to be me rambling about it so... I'm sorry in advance if this ends up being too long. (Also, when I said in her introductory post that she wanted to change her image, she was REALLY serious about it).

· In the accident where she lost her eye, she also broke her leg, that's why she had much more problems to start practicing again. Mana would usually go to see her when she was hospitalized but after some time she had to stop, at this point Sachi was already a shut-in and she was super worried about Sachi. Some days after leaving the hospital Mana called Nobuko asking for advice about being an idol. She wasn't in a good shape at all but she felt that she couldn't say no, she felt she was in debt with Mana because she was the one who, after hearing a weird noise coming from the gym, dashed knowing that Nobuko was there and called the ambulance after seeing she was in danger. When Mana called her she had already changed her look so she had a hard time recognizing her.

· Her parents, who are very prideful and strong willed (something she inherited from them), always expected a lot from her, they're very proud of their daughter and love her to pieces. They're also a bit (a bit=very) over protective with Nobuko, she learnt self defense because they wanted her to know how to defend herself. They're also in touch with the school's principal because they are a very influential family where they live. When they found out that what happened to Nobuko was the school's fault for not checking out the state of the buildings in years, they weren't what you would call "happy". ~Legal stuff~ happened and they conviced (and paid) the school to fix the building and make a new one for students with special needs so Nobuko could keep studing there and to never let what happened to her occur again.

Nobuko started loving classical music after going to Vienna New Year's concert with her family as a kid (I would say which song is her favourite but after the accident she forgot about it because of -reasons-).

Fun fact: Nobuko and Yukari met when they were like 8 and 7 years old because they Gouma family and the Miyamoto family are both rich and influential (and kind of rivals-). If they met now they wouldn't recognize eachother unless they said their names.
