Ruby Hoshino

"Life is about doing what you want to do! If you keep talking cost this return this, you won't accomplish anything! Life can end before you get a chance to accomplish anything, it happens."

Ruby Hoshino (星野瑠美衣, Hoshino Rubii) is the deuteragonist in the Oshi no Ko manga series. She was known as Sarina in her past life; a patient with a terminal illness who became obsessed with idols. She, along with her twin-brother Aquamarine Hoshino, formerly known as Gorou in his past life, is the child of the former (now defunct) B-Komachi member, Ai Hoshino. Inspired by her mothers' line of work, she wishes to become an idol just like her, only if her brother wasn't so overprotective of her ever since their mother died.

She's currently working with Strawberry Productions to revive B-Komachi so she could fulfill her dreams along with the support of her friends.

Appearance
Ruby Hoshino possesses features that liken her to her mother; more often than not being compared to her in many aspects. Such as her facial features and the distinct look in her eye featuring a star.

She sports blonde hair with pinkish highlights at the end. Her eyes are ruby-colored, which her mother named her after, and usually wears an idol outfit.

Personality
Unlike her brother, who is calm, calculated, and discreet, she is the polar opposite of him. She is extroverted, outgoing, loud, and the like; being the most apparent with the connections she made with others, whilst Aqua only does this to further his agenda. She doesn't share her brother's opinion of hunting down the culprit who killed their mother, rather moving on from that incident and focusing on her dreams. She persists in this notion to the point where she often conflicts with her brother's interests.

Story
As Sarina, Ruby was a big fan of her now mother, Ai Hoshino. She wanted to get reincarnated as her daughter and to have a face like her. With due time, her wish gets fulfilled as she is born as Aqua's younger twin. However, only a few years after that, a crazed fan takes her mother's life and Ruby loses the idol she treasured both in her previous and current lives. After Ai's death, Ruby starts working hard towards her goal, striving to become an idol like her mom was. Thus, she forms her own group and gets signed by her adoptive mother's company and Ai's former idol agency, Strawberry Productions.

She names her group after her departed mother's idol group, B-Komachi, and makes a Youtube channel where she and her group uploads videos with the help of Memcho, one of the idols in their group and a renowned Youtuber. They hit the milestone of 10,000 subscribers there. Later, they receive an offer from one of her brother, Aquamarine's acquaintances to participate in one of the biggest idol concerts across the country, the Japan Idol Festival. Even though Kana, another member of her idol group, disagrees with the idea of newcomers debuting in such a prestigious event, Ruby and Memcho convinces her to accept the invitation. Hence, the revived B-Komachi go on to deliver their first performance on the grand stage, earning rave reviews from fans.
