Like a lot of idol groups in Japan, 00 has a dating ban, and contact with men (that aren't family) outside of giving handshakes and autographs is forbidden and can lead to scandal if caught.
History:wikia Appearance:cherry cherry boy cherry cherry girl Personality: Chieri is something of a complicated person. She's pretty, talented, and most definitely popular- that's for sure- but Chieri is also very lonely and insecure, owing largely to her childhood. Having lost her mother and older brother at an early age, and having a father who's never there, Chieri grew up with only the family servants to keep her company, having no friends except for the three girls she met one day on Lancastar- Nagisa, Orine, and Yuka- though even then, she didn't see them again for another four years.
Initially, Chieri comes off as a very cold and unfriendly person, seeing everyone else as rivals, and urging Nagisa to due to do the same if she wishes to succeed. Although she has moments of kindness at times, the other girls, mainly Yuka, are turned off by her attitude. Despite this, Chieri continues to hold onto her dream- to join AKB0048 together with the three girls she met as a child, and when she berates Orine for losing her composure over a hater, it's because she doesn't want the other girl to give up. Chieri warms up over time, though still maintains something of a friendly rivalry with Nagisa. Still, Chieri remains insecure at times, and almost quits the group during two separate occasions, feeling she doesn't deserve to be there. Chieri also isn't afraid to speak up for herself; when put on trial at the beginning of the second season, Chieri speaks in favor of being an idol, rather than accept accusations of being brainwashed to avoid being prosecuted.
Chieri admires Oshima Yuuko the 9th, the current successor to the Oshima Yuuko name and the leader of AKB0048. When she's chosen as a stand-in for Yuuko, when some of the successors are sent to attend a peacekeeping ceremony, Chieri makes it a point to observe the older girl and study how best to emulate her. Chieri might not like peppers, but if Yuuko likes them? Pile 'em up on Chieri's plate, too! Yuuko's trying out 'sexy' poses? Chieri... will attempt that too (and wind up horribly embarrassed when caught by Nagisa). Chieri and Nagisa's rivalry also extends towards their mutual admiration of Yuuko; both would like to be successors to the name, though neither want to force Yuuko out of the group in order to do such due to one person being able to be a successor to a certain name at a time.
Chieri's relationships with the other girls is fairly complicated. Although she sees them as friends, outside of her friendship with Nagisa, the other girls view her less than favorably at first. As time passes, they warm up to each other, though Chieri and Nagisa's rivalry hits a few awkward snags at times, as Chieri feels jealousy and insecurity at how Nagisa seems to shine with a radiant aura, something Chieri worries she herself lacks at first. Still, Chieri is willing to put herself on the line for the sake of her friends, as shown at one point when she and Nagisa discuss becoming a Center Nova, an idol whose radiance shines the brightest of all, as well as has the power to move time and space, to bring back Yuuko, the leader of 0048, who attempted but failed to become a true Center Nova during the attack on Akibastar, the idols' homeworld.
Although he was never around during her childhood, and although he denied her her dream, Chieri still tries to believe that there's still good inside her father deep down, and that she can reach out to him; she holds onto one fond memory of him carrying her to bed, insisting that he was the one to do such (even though her butler stated he was the one to carry her, instead). When Nagisa tells her about how she was able to win her own father's approval by talking to him, Chieri resolves to do the same thing with hers, even though his company manufactures weapons for DES, a group that hates idols and wishes to eradicate entertainment from the galaxy. Unfortunately, despite sneaking onboard a ship bound for Chieri's homeworld, things go wrong when she attempts to speak with him; her attempt at reaching out to him through song ends when he is murdered, and Chieri is left horrified and depressed at this, as her only chance at trying to make him understand is lost forever.
While her father's death has a huge impact on her, Chieri attempts to slowly pick up the pieces... by trying to lose herself in practicing her dancing at first. Although she still has yet to come to terms with the loss of the last remaining family she had, Chieri resolves to push forward and help the girls take back Akibastar and bring back Yuuko, though still remains saddened over her father's death. Although 00 has a rule against killing DES troops (despite the fact that they won't hesitate to use lethal force against 00), Chieri still nearly comes close to killing a DES trooper who harasses Suzuko during the battle for Akibastar, knowing DES most likely is behind her father's assassination. However, she shows him mercy at the last second, instead singing to him ('Kono Namida wo Kimi ni Sasagu').
"From now on, instead of fighting, listen to our song!"
Indeed, Chieri recognizes that deep down, even the DES troopers aren't that heartless, and by extending her hand to another trooper that tries shooting at her, invokes the Center Nova phenomenon.
Abilities: As Center Nova, Chieri is basically an idol who shines with the most radiance. Beyond that, the Center Nova is said to hold powers over time and space, and indeed, at one point Chieri manages to phase right through an enemy spaceship and split herself into multiple copies, all singing.
Beyond that, it's said that once a Center Nova reaches the peak of her radiance, and finds harmony, that she's 'spirited away' to another world beyond the reaches of time and space, where the disappeared Center Nova sing forevermore in order to protect the future of entertainment. Other:
Third Person: (reusing my third person for Route 29)
Chieri knew she shouldn't be so accepting of loneliness, but it was just all too soon, all too much, for her to fully process her father's death. She had almost reached out to him- she wanted to believe as much- but with a single shot that chance had been lost to her forever. It was perhaps why, during the evenings and in the shadows, she would eventually get up and practice, not particularly any dance in particular, but wanting to take her mind off the present. Oshawott sat nearby, seeming worried for her well-being, but Chieri paid no heed as she practiced the steps to 'RIVER', 'Aitakatta', and 'Beginner', in no particular order.
There was no music with which to accompany her dance, but she didn't care; it would have been distracting, in the end... or maybe it's just that Chieri wanted to keep from thinking too much about things- music would have been a distraction. Still, the silence eventually bothered her, and she began to sing to keep pace with the dancing.
"There's a river running in your heart too, the river of hard times," she sang, "Even if things don't go too well... Even if you drown sometimes, just try again- don't give up."
Eventually, exhaustion got the best of her, and Chieri sank to the ground, once again left to her own thoughts. The darkness was inviting once more, and she accepted it for now, too spent to truly try to put on a brave front again. Why was she here, really? She hadn't fully figured that out yet, beyond that they were supposed to journey around and collect Pokemon. If you had to ask her, it was something she could see Sonata doing, maybe alongside Makoto and Suzuko, but Chieri just wasn't certain she could handle doing this, not right now, at the least. Heaving a sigh, Chieri slowly got back to her feet, and headed back to her hotel room, to get ready for bed.
"Come on, Oshawott," she told her Pokemon partner, "I'm done now; we can sleep."
