style: kirari's high school experience might as well be described as "let's shop in shibuya and give no craps about how much things cost!" even now, she only ever shops when skylight goes on tours to japan, since then she can go to shibuya 109 and shop there. kirari is, and always makes sure she looks, stylish. she's all about big, bold, girly fashions; she almost always wears big accesorries and bows, and she always has her nails done. she leans towards dark, bright and pastel colors, but she'll never mix those three. she also loves short miniskirts. loves them.

inside!
character traits: selfish; confident; tsundere; materialistic; caring
expansion: kirari has no issues with self-confidence, let's say. she certainly loves herself, and fancies herself the prettiest member of skylight. she used to be a model, after all. she also has no doubts about her stage presence; she knows she isn't the best rapper in the group, but she also knows that she's pretty far up there, compared to the rest of sme's female trainees. she can be very self-centered, though. her #1 priority most of the time is kirari, kirari, kirari. she thinks of herself before others, and sometimes her "i'm the fairest of them all" act gets on the nerves of both the members and the fans of skylight. she doesn't care. in kirari's own words, "if people don't like the way i act, there's no use bothering, is there?" (note: kirari's large, large, large amount of fanboys tend to defend her feverishly if somebody dares hate on her. just...note that.)

that isn't to say that kirari doesn't have a kind side; she does. often, she lets slip little morsels of kindness - telling the members she's proud of their work, for example. she'll quickly cover it up, though, or change the subject. kirari simply doesn't know how to be nice without having to be like "what. i mean. ..what." she's known for being a tsundere, which is completely bowlderdized in fanfiction, but other than that. she's also surprisingly caring to her friends - that is, the members of skylight. she makes sure they're okay (after she's made sure she's okay. kirari always comes first in kirari's book, remember that.) and she makes sure they haven't over-worked. she also works as their fashion counselor - making sure that they look really, really good - before they go out. especially the less fashionable members...they, in kirari's opinion, require personal help. her passion, after idol-ing, is modeling.

biography!
background: despite being part korean and part japanese, kirari was born and raised in kanagawa, japan. she's the oldest of three, and all three ninomiya-lee kids had very different personalities growing up. kirari was always the girly and fashionable one; rei was into sports and cheerleading; nanami always was bookish and a bit nerdy. in school, kirari was always pretty popular with the guys. she had her skirts shortened and her uniform worn in a provocative way, and before she became a popular swimsuit model with a purity contract, she had a lot of boyfriends. her first succesful (she failed an akb48 audition in 2006) experience in the industry was modeling, in fact; while shopping with her friends on the streets of shibuya one day, she was scouted by the japanese magazine egg, where she became a swimsuit model. that was when she was 17. after two years of swimsuit modeling, sm entertainment was having auditions in japan. she went ahead and went for it, figuring...figuring that being an idol would be fun. there there.

love!
love interest's name: lee jong suk
group:  n/a (he's an actor and model.)
date of birth: september 14th, 1989
backup love interest: kim woo bin
personality: much like kirari, jong suk's kinda selfish. he's confident in himself, he thinks he's handsome, he thinks he's a good model and a good actor - and he is. his claims aren't false. he's also more understated in his confidence than kirari; if it comes up in a conversation he can talk about it, but he won't be like "ayo i'm the best actor/model ever later losers." jong suk is really nice, though. when he's working he's kind to his seniors and isn't afraid to help his juniors out if they need to be helped. and to his friends, he's like an awkardly tall and clingy baby monkey.
how they met: remember how kirari modeled for seoul fashion week a litttle bit before skylight debuted? so did jong suk; kirari was incredibly nervous and jong suk was like, "dude, you need help?" and kirari was like "yes". they bonded over modeling experiences and their friendship just increased from there.
relationship status: these two are like those popular kids in every class that nobody actually likes because they smoke cigarettes during breaks and judge the crap out of everyone. which they actually do, sometimes. she's a queen be and he's her king, and if they could just break past the deep friendship they have already, they'd be the cutest/weirdest modely couple ever.
