* TheChessmaster: Her reason for bringing Yume to Venus Ark is to lure out Hime.
* AChildShallLeadThem: Still a teenager but at the same time is Venus Ark's headmistress.
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Said to be the princess of an as-of-yet-unnamed foreign country.
* FantasticRacism: Played with. At first she treated Laura this way because she lacked her own brand and felt she didn't need to pay her attention. Laura later went on to prove her wrong, but Elza still viewed her negatively for a while.
* FullNameBasis: Apart from Rei and Kirara, she has a tendency to refer to other characters by their full names in Western order.
* MeaningfulName: "Forte" means a person's strongest ability, or it can refer to "forte" from the dynamics of music, meaning "loud". Elza is a perfectionist Idol capable of doing many things with ease.
* MommyIssues: Part of the reason she acts the way she does is because she wants to grab the attention and affection of her mother with the Sun Dress coord.
* OddNameOut: Her name is entirely foreign.
* ParentalNeglect: A victim of it, from her mother's hand. Seeing that her mother is a very successful actress, she barely had time to give Elza the affection she wanted, which resulted in 15 years' worth of familial baggage manifest in showing everyone up.
* {{Pirate}}: Described as 'Perfect Elza, the Idol Pirate'. Being the headmistress of Venus Ark, her goal is to go around the world and steal all of the top idols.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair in the anime appears to have grown in length. In the arcade games it reaches her chest, but in the anime it nearly reaches her knees.
* TheUnapologetic: She doesn't appear to care for her fans very much, even tearing up fan mail without care. She also loses interest in her students if they fail to meet her standards fairly quick.

!Kirara Hanazono
->'''Voiced by''': Nako Eguchi (speaking), Miho Amane (singing)

!Rei Kizaki

->'''Voiced by''': Miyu Tomita (speaking), Sena Horigoshi (singing)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yumenijino.png]]

Cheerful and restless, Yume is a long-time fan of Hime who entered Four Star Academy in order to become a member of S4 and meet her. In the first episode, a strange phenomenon caused her to put on a performance that amazed everyone, until she passes out and is unable to remember anything upon waking up. She is a cute-type idol from the Flower Song Class who uses the brand My Little Heart. In Season 2, she created her own brand, Berry Parfait, which she later upgrades into Rainbow Berry Parfait with the help of Koharu.
----
* AnimalMotifs: Koalas. Her brand's mascot is a koala and she includes a drawing of a koala in her autograph.
* AscendedFangirl: A fan of Hime's whose dream was to enter S4, which she accomplished at the end of season one.
* BadLiar: The poor girl is unable to lie to save her life.
* ButtMonkey: Early on in season one she was shaping into one. She has not only fallen out of tree, but also ran straight into a bush, tripped over her own feet a few times, and some characters treated her poorly.
* BigEater: Almost always seen with a large plate of food, usually something sweet.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Koharu.
* CloudCuckooLander: Hoo boy.
* CompositeCharacter: Most fans compare her to being a cross between prior protagonists Ichigo and Akari. Not only in looks but personality.
* {{Determinator}}: What else to expect from an Aikatsu! protagonist?
* {{Fangirl}}: Of Hime.
* GirlishPigtails: Held by knotted hair. In season two, they're longer and wavier.
* TheGlomp: Most often towards Rola and Koharu.
* HairDecorations: A big pink ribbon.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold
* HotBlooded: Can be quite competitive and extreme when fired up too much, especially while training. This usually results in her getting hurt.
* IdiotHair: A small one.
* MeaningfulName: Her given name means "dream", while her surname contains the character for "rainbow", a recurring theme for her.
* NoSenseOfDirection: Koharu confirms in the first episode that Yume has always done poorly with them.
* PinkHeroine: It's very rare to find her in anything without [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]] on it. Even her ''hair'' goes from blonde to pink.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Rola's blue.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: With Rola, more evident in season two and made very blatant in the movie. Also later with Koharu.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The one time she didn't have an appetite, everyone immediately noticed something is troubling her.
* UnwittingPawn: Some fans viewed her this way at first due to the mysterious Headmaster.
* TheKlutz: Best demonstrated by her first meeting with Subaru, which with ends with her falling from a high branch in a tree on top of him.
* {{Tsundere}}: To Subaru, when he acts like a {{Troll}} towards her.
* TechnicolorEyes: Her eyes are three separate colors: red, orange, and yellow.
* ToBeAMaster: She aims to be the top idol, [[spoiler:which she finally accomplishes in Season 2 by defeating then-current reigning idol Elza Forte]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Rola Sakuraba]]
->'''Voiced by''': Ayaka Asai (speaking), Rie Fujishiro (singing)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/laurasakuraba.jpg]]

A haughty girl who becomes Yume's first friend and rival at Four Star. A talented singer, she becomes interested in Yume after the latter does really bad in training, despite her amazing first performance. Laura is a cool-type idol in the Flower Song Class who uses the brand Spice Chord.
----
* AnimeHair: A thick ponytail that splits at the middle into three separate drills.
* TheAce: One of, if not THE, best singers in her year. She also managed to get first place in the Song Class audition (which is considered the most difficult one to pass) and shows talent in many fields.
* ButtMonkey: Despite starting out as TheAce, the series slowly starts giving her [[TheWorfEffect some pretty bad losses throughout the first season]]. Come the second season, Rola has become something of a punching bag to the point that the rival school's headmistress [[DudeWheresMyRespect shows very little respect for her despite her talent]] and mocks her even when Rola has success.
* CantCatchUp: Despite her large amount of talent, she's only won a handful of the competitions she's participated in, and compared to the likes of the new S4 she can't really compare. [[spoiler:By the time she makes her international debut, Yume had been the top idol for quite sometime.]]
* CatchPhrase: 'Omoshiroi janai', which roughly translates to "Isn't that interesting?".
* DefrostingIceQueen: While she was never that cold to begin with, befriending Yume has made her a lot softer.
* HairDecorations: A dark purple ruffled hairpiece. In season 2, she swaps it out for a bow.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Starts out with the impression that she thinks pretty highly of herself; almost arrogantly confident. She was very quick to show her superiority over Yume at the beginning of Season 1 by trying to knock her down in regards to making it into S4. Mostly likely influenced by being from a prominent musical family and being raised on high expectations. By episode 7 you can already see that her supposed superiority was a mask for a complete lack of confidence. Mild compared to other more arrogant characters under this trope. See also BreakTheHaughty as the facade breaks down as she continues to lose to Yume and then gets repeatedly insulted by Elza.
* NotSoDifferent: Rola, like Elza, knows what it's like to suppress the emotions she wants to express more than anything, and wants to make Elza realize that.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Yume's red.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: With Yume, more evident in season two and made very blatant in the movie.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her name is officially romanized as "Rola Sakuraba". Most fans however find Rola to be a strange name and often refer to her as Laura and less commonly, Lola, both of which were theorized names before it was confirmed.
* StepfordSmiler: Hides her emotions behind emotional walls all while smiling like she's always fine. Tsubasa called her out for always smiling yet sighing to herself when she was alone.
* {{Tsundere}}: Originally displayed a softer variation of this this attitude with Yume whenever she did something nice for her.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Vinegar kelp. An ice cream was made based on it for her.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Bubblegum pink.

[[folder:Koharu Nanakura]]
->'''Voiced by''': Megumi Yamaguchi (speaking), Nanase Matsuoka (singing)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/koharu.png]]

Yume's childhood friend encouraged to become an idol with Yume after being unable to determine her own future career. A delicate and caring girl who always supports Yume and her goals. She idolizes Yozora and attended the Moon Beauty class as a Sexy-type idol. Her preferred brand is Romance Kiss.
----
* FamilyThemeNaming: Her parents and her follow a four seasons theme. Chi'''aki''', her father, has autumn; '''Natsu'''na, her mother, has summer; and Ko'''haru''' has spring.
* TheFashionista: While the nature of the job makes it a necessity for idols, Koharu in particular is interested in fashion design and is later revealed to be helping design for Elza's brand.
* FlowerInHerHair
* {{Meganekko}}
* PaletteSwap: Her school dresses, the first one being a Palette Swap of Mahiru's and the second a Palette Swap of Kirara's.
* PutOnABus: Koharu was forced to drop from the academy due to her father's work requiring him to go to Italy for an extended period.
** She returns in season two attending Venus Ark as a fashion designer. And she finally gets a chance to sing during the Halloween episode.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: With Yume. One episode even has them having a late night conversation where Koharu goes on about how much she loves Yume, and Season 2 really expands on how close the two are.
* ShrinkingViolet: Slightly. She is openly friendly and sweet but she is soft-spoken and lacks much faith in herself at first.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Lavender.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Ako Saotome]]
->'''Voiced by''': Natsumi Murakami (speaking), Miki Mirai (singing)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/akosaotome.png]]

An energetic girl who became an idol to pursue her crush on M4's Subaru. When it comes to being an actress and Idol she is serious and displays a huge amount of talent with a cool personality, but she has a tendency to lapse into a frenzied Cat Girl personality whenever upset. She is a Pop-type idol of the Bird Theater Class who uses the brand Fuwafuwa Dream.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Her hair is a shade of caramel in the game, but vibrant vermilion in the anime.
* TheArtifact: The Drama song-type being phased out in Season 2 and the introduction of Kirara as the initial muse for FuwaFuwa Dream put Ako in this status. She doesn't have a whole lot to do, but since she's [[spoiler: an S4 member]], she still needed some screen time.
* AnimalMotifs: Cats. Her personality is that of a CatGirl when very happy or upset, along with wearing a cat bell, having cat-ear-like buns, a cat-like tic, etc.
* BelligerentSexualTension: A mild version with Kanata.
* CompositeCharacter: Fans note that she has a similar personality to Yurika and Tsubaki from the original Aikatsu series.
* ClingyJealousGirl: A PlayedForLaughs variety. Originally she would appear to violently shove Yume or threaten to claw her if she saw her interact with Subaru. This has faded away as she grew closer to her.
* {{Fangirl}}: Of Subaru.
* FieryRedhead: Rather passionate when it comes to Subaru.
* HairDecorations: A yellow bow with a sky-blue cat bell on it. Her coords usually give her bows of some type.
* HimeCut: She's a downplayed case; she has the general look of it but the "frenzied cat girl personality" that sometimes comes out is far from this trope. This is represented by how it is combined with a large bow made of hair that resembles cat-ear shaped Odango from the front.
* OffModel: At times, Ako's hair can't seem to decide if it's trying to be a hair bow with a common meeting point at the center of her head, or a set of cat-ear type buns that are noticeably separated on either side of her head. The anime frequently switches around between both, while the game has it always shown meeting at the center.
* OutOfFocus: In season two. She doesn't transfer to Venus Ark along with the other girls, cutting down a significant amount of her screentime, and she's the only S4 member who's not been made the muse of her own brand, eventually sharing Fuwafuwa Dream with Kirara.
* ShipTease: Gets tiny amounts of it with Subaru, her crush. But she gets even more of it with Kanata Kira, the guy who is able to encourage her to be herself and admires her.
* {{Tsundere}}: Originally towards Yume, but moreso is this towards Kanata. Despite being annoyed by his presence and his cleverness, she is very in denial about her feelings for him.
* TsurimeEyes: Bright teal ones.

[[folder:Mahiru Kasumi]]
->'''Voiced by''': Yume Miyamoto (speaking), Kana Hoshizaki (singing)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mahiru_kasumi_0.png]]

A mature girl who comes off as unapproachable due to her strong aura. She's the younger sister of M4's Asahi and S4's Yozora, the latter of whom she initially displays animosity towards. Mahiru is a Sexy-type idol of the Moon Beauty Class and uses the brand Romance Kiss.
----
* TheAce: In addition to being the best model in her year, her performance skills are widely recognized by other characters. [[spoiler: During the S4 Selection, her score was the second highest, only behind Hime's.]]
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: The youngest of the Kasumi siblings, who is ironically, very mature.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Comes off as standoffish to others, and even acts bluntly when first meeting Yume, whom she hasn't heard of up to that point. Quickly melts after befriending the others, then even further after she makes up with Yozora. As of late, she's very nice.
* {{Determinator}}: Hell bent on surpassing Yozora and will not let anything stop her.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Like Yozora and Asahi, Mahiru is named after a phase of the sky. Her name in particular represents daylight, or the midday sky.
* FreudianExcuse: Grew to hate Yozora after thinking she abandoned her when she was little and didn't know how to cope with it.
* HairContrastDuo: Short, dirty-blonde hair to contrast the longer, dark brown hair of her sister.
* HairDecorations: When performing she usually wears a bows or clips.
* MsFanservice: Tends to wear some of the more [[BareYourMidriff revealing]] [[BoobsOfSteel outfits]] compared to her classmates.
* MulticoloredHair: Part of her hair is orange.
* RedOniBlueOni: Ironically, the blue to Yozora's red.

** After the reveal, it cools down to FriendlyRival.
** Upgrades to full on SiblingTeam in the finale, where [[spoiler:the sisters have formed their own idol duo]].
* SweetTooth: Really likes sweets. Her initial aura has an arch composed of them.
* TechnicolorEyes: Her eye is mostly purple with dual coloring, pale orange and gold.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Chocolate, mostly in the form of cake or muffins.

[[folder:Lily Shirogane]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ReinaUeda (speaking), Nanase Matsuoka (singing)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lily_0.jpg]]

Composed and elegant, Lily has a weak body and spends her time off-campus at a rehabilitation facility where she can rest and train. She enjoys fashion and wishes to become a designer. A cool-type Idol who originally used Spice Chord until developing her own brand, Gothic Victoria.
----
* AffectionateNickname: Called "Lilyenne" by Yuzu.
* AnimeHair: Long, thick hair separated in four equally thick drills with an ice-blue ombre. Her straight cut bangs blend in with two more, smaller drills.
* AnimalMotif: Caged birds. They often appear in her coords in some form and her first performance features a giant broken bird cage, while her second features her in one. Her appeal involves her gaining feathery wings near the end.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Yuzu.
* HairDecorations: A purple ruffled piece with a gem and feathers.
* HurricaneOfAphorisms: Well known for throwing proverbs at the drop of a hat.
* AnIcePerson: Nicknamed the "Tundra Songstress" and whenever she's present a rush of cold air blows in.
* IllGirl: A naturally weak constitution forced her to go on a 6-month hiatus during the spring and summer, though this hasn't affected her talent.
* InformedFlaw: Though she is depicted frequently as lacking stamina and body strength, this does little to affect her ability to perform. While her movements in her character songs aren't necessarily wild, she does enough jumping around and spinning (on top of singing), especially in The Wasteland's Miracle, that you'd wonder how she can't even manage two push-ups.
* OutOfFocus: Season 2 has her on the back burner due to the Venus Ark drama.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Yuzu's red.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: With Yuzu.
* TechnicolorEyes: Red and purple.

* RefusalOfTheCall: Rejects Elza's offer to join Venus Ark twice.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Extremely spicy curry
* TrueBlueFemininity: Her theme color is light blue.

[[folder:Tsubasa Kisaragi]]
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/SumireMorohoshi (speaking), Nanase Matsuoka (singing)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tsubasa_7.png]]

Reliable and cool in both temperament and appearance, Tsubasa is not only a hard worker, but makes sure to put love into it. Originally she planned to become a Flower Song student until meeting Hime and then Momoko, the teacher of Bird Theater. She is also the Student Council President and the representative of the Theater Class. Tsubasa is a Cool-type Idol who uses the brand Spice Chord.
----
* AnimalMotif: Bird, with many of her dramas involving bird-based puns (eg. "Bodybird" where she plays as someone's bodyguard) and her general backstory of finding freedom.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Evident during the Valentine's episode, where her pile of chocolates (all given by female students) is noticeably bigger than the rest of S4's.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her school coord. Seems to be a common theme in Spice Chord as well.
* HairDecorations: A gold band.
* PassingTheTorch: To Ako as an S4 member.
** Later, she passes on Spice Chord to Rola.
* PutOnABus: In season two, she left for Hollywood to become a professional actress.

[[folder:Yuzu Nikaido]]

* HairDecorations: Lime, sky blue, and yellow baubles.
* MegaTwinTails: Very fluffy and thick with a braid hanging from the side.
* OutOfFocus: Has gotten the least screentime or development of the S4 members. Compared to them she's basically a background character. This oddly enough gets worse with the start of the second season, as Yume, Ako, and Mahiru are constantly seen together with Rola, who's now a Song Class admin, while Yuzu's dragged off to do Student Council President work. She's not even featured in the opening alongside her new S4 members, instead having a short scene with Lily.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Lily's blue.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: With Lily.
* StudentCouncilPresident: In season two, following Tsubasa's graduation.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yozora_kasumi.png]]

She is the sister of Asahi from M4, and Mahiru, both fellow Idols at the Academy.
----
* [[AloofBigBrother Aloof Big Sister]]: Inverted, in that she very visibly cares about Mahiru, who's more of the aloof one.
* BlondeBrunetteRedHead: The brunette to Yuzu's redhead and Hime's blonde.
* TheBusCameBack: In episode 94.
* CoolBigSis: Her defining character trait.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: As Koharu could confirm.
* FamilyThemeNaming:The Kasumi siblings all have names relating to the sky. Yozora is named after the night sky, specifically.
* HairContrastDuo: Long, dark brown hair while both her siblings have blonde hair.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:M4]]
! In General:
* AdvertisedExtra: The boys were announced alongside most of the main cast in the beginning of the show, but ultimately they didn't amount to much in the actual series. Season 2 demotes them even harder than they did in Season 1, to the point where they only make a few appearances the whole season before flying out of the country.
* SpearCounterpart: The equivalent of S4 in Four Star's male division.

!Subaru Yūki
->'''Voiced by''': Taku Yashiro
* {{Adorkable}}: Underneath his cool leader persona, he's actually quite shy and easy to tease.
* ButtMonkey: Of the four boys, he's usually the first to be made fun of.
* LoveInterest: To Ako, which is one sided on her part, and gets a helping of ShipTease with Yume otherwise.
* {{Troll}}: Loves messing with Yume whenever he gets the chance.

!Asahi Kasumi
->'''Voiced by''': Shun Horie
* AnimalMotifs: Compared to a BigFriendlyDog in terms of personality.
* CryCute: When [[spoiler:Koharu finally makes a performance in Episode 79]], Asahi gets upset because he didn't get to see her.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Like his sisters, Asahi is named after a part of the sky in the daily cycle. In particular, he's named after the morning sun.
* HeroicLineage: He's the brother of both Yozora and Mahiru. The reason why he got into idolhood and into Four Star is precisely because of this trope; he found it natural to do after Yozora stepped in to do it.
* OutnumberedSibling
* ShipTease: With Koharu.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: He used to be put in girl's clothing when he was little by Yozora. Going by the picture we see in Episode 75, he didn't take it too terribly.

!Nozomu Igarashi
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/YuutoUemura
* OutOfFocus: Of all the M4, he's the least elaborated on and characterized, aside from a few episodes.
* PrincelyYoungMan: Both his onstage and his offstage personality reflects this.
* ShipTease: Originally had this with Yume after landing the role opposite of hers in a film. There are also implications on the relationship chart of the series.
** He also had a major case of it with Aria in the Halloween episode.

!Kanata Kira
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ArthurLounsbery
* AlliterativeName
* BrutalHonesty: Kanata isn't exactly afraid to speak his mind and give criticisms when prompted.
* TheGadfly: The ''MENKATSU'' CD character description pegs him as a "Do-S" type, but it really goes no further than teasing.
* ShipTease: With Ako. He's pretty stubborn about his feelings as well, given they both have a mutual "?<3" on their part of the relationship chart.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Never seen without with white-frame glasses, and is a very calculating person. He chose to go into Four Star because he wanted to measure his own abilities after all.
* {{Troll}}: More of the DeadpanSnarker variety, but he sure knows how to push Ako's buttons.

->'''Voiced by''': Azusa Tadokoro (speaking), Kana Hoshizaki (singing)

* CantCatchUp: Despite her large amount of talent, she's only won a handful of the competitions she's participated in, and compared to the likes of the new S4 she can't really compare.

* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Starts out with the impression that she thinks pretty highly of herself; almost arrogantly confident. She was very quick to show her superiority over Yume at the beginning of Season 1 by trying to knock her down in regards to making it into S4. Mostly likely influenced by being from a prominent musical family and being raised on high expectations.

!! S4

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: With Yume. One episode even has them having a late night conversation where Koharu goes on about how much she loves Yume.

* AdvertisedExtra: The boys were announced alongside most of the main cast in the beginning of the show, but ultimately they didn't amount to much in the actual series. Season 2 demotres them even harder than they did in Season 1, to the point where they only make a few appearances the whole season before flying out of the country.
