Ai Hoshino/Plot

History
Ai Hoshino was subjected to domestic violence by her mother who is the only parent she knew in her childhood.

Later on, Ai's mom was arrested for theft when Ai was at a very tender age. When she was thrown behind bars, Hoshino had to go live in an orphanage for the period she served her jail time. However, when she was released, she didn't come back to the orphanage to pick her daughter up, which is the reason she had to stay in the orphanage and grow up within its walls.

When Ai became twelve, the president of Strawberry Productions, Ichigo Saitou, scouted her out and offered her a job as an idol. At the time, she thought she wasn't fit for the job since she never knew how to love and how to be loved. Nevertheless, Ichigo managed to convince her by explaining to her that she didn't need to know and that lying can work just as well. He gave her hope - that she would be able to turn that lie into truth. What followed was four successful years as the face of the popular idol group, B-Komachi.

Prologue
At the age of 16, Ai gets pregnant with twins. After hearing her manager/company president say that the world would not be for an idol with babies at the age of 16, she decided to keep her kids a secret from the outside world instead of completely getting rid of them, since she wanted to experience what a family is like. She managed to accomplish that feat to a certain extent as besides doing a fantastic job as the lead idol for B-Komachi, she even succeeded as an actor for a short while.

Ai was peaking at the age of 20 without being so clumsy as to let the cat out of the bag. However, she couldn't fool one of her followers who eventually found out about it (speculated by the older twin, Aquamarine Hoshino, to be the result of an information leak by their biological father) and stabbed her because she was "betraying her fans" by having the baby.

She, however, managed to recognize the man who stabbed her as one of the fans that regularly come to B-Komachi fan meeting, and the fan ran away in distress after she pointed out that she kept a trinket given by him. In her dying breath, Ai talked to both of her children, Aqua and Ruby, about her wish to see them grow up and be with them in every step, now no longer a possibility. She managed to finally say that she loved them, finally able to learn how to love others truly, before she died.
