visuals
A pretty boy idol who takes great pride in his looks. (He refers to himself as the cutest, prettiest and most handsome idol ever.) A little taller than average, and keeps in shape with constant dance practice (though his stomach is described as "squishy" by another character...). Dresses simply but expensively.
Voiced by Natsuki Hanae at his most obnoxious. Here are some voice samples: Speaking (ii hiyori edition) ♪ speaking again (Jun-kun Jun-kun Jun-kun edition) ♪ singing (solo edition) ♪ singing again (rapping with Eve edition) ♪ singing some more (autotuned wailing with Eden edition). (Also bonus Trap for You link, since that's the song his journal name is referencing.)

» Former student of Yumenosaki Academy, and former member of fine.
» Proud dog parent.

personality
In many ways, Hiyori Tomoe is an exemplary idol. Talented and passionate, he's a gifted performer who thrives on attention and has little concern for concepts like "privacy" and "shame." He'll blow kisses to his fans, smiling and waving as he goes about his day, boasting at one point that he wouldn't mind being followed around by cameras 24/7. The pressures of being a celebrity never seem to weigh on him, and he dedicates all his efforts to becoming a dazzling idol—a dream that was granted to him by his childhood friend Nagisa.
Some of Hiyori's other behaviors, however, are a little less than exemplary. He'll show up late to meetings, throw tantrums over work assignments he dislikes, and boss people around without any hesitation. He's also frequently rude, prone to casually dismissing or outright insulting those around him. ("Umm, what was your name again? Oh well, it doesn't matter.") His confidence slides right into narcissism, and his lack of consideration is a common source of complaint. But he isn't just obnoxious for the sake of being obnoxious; there is, oftentimes, a method to his madness. His rude comments catch people off-guard, revealing information and making them easier to manipulate. His steamrolling others in conversations makes it more likely he'll get his way. And sometimes his manipulations are intended to help people or improve a situation—like when he lies to his shuffle unit and tells them he's retiring as an idol soon, so he can bring the group together and get the best possible performance out of them.
Hiyori is aware of the fact he's somewhat exhausting. (Or, as he puts it, "It seems there's a problem with my personality.") When he's onstage, the audience loves him, though, and Hiyori is an idol because he craves that feeling of love. He wants to sparkle and shine, to be adored by all his fans, and he wants the same for the rest of his unit, too, even though the other members are all quite rough around the edges. As far as Hiyori is concerned, his unit is one big family, and as the oldest member, he considers himself to be something like the group's doting big brother.
Although Hiyori might be a bit too in love with himself, he has plenty of love to give to others. He'll spoil and "raise" anyone he deems worthy of his attention, whether that's a stray dog he found in a dumpster, a quiet boy who was raised in captivity, or a scruffy underclassman with a beautiful untrained singing voice. Hiyori's love is fierce and warm like the sun, but not unselfish; he fully expects to be loved and adored in return, constantly reminding his underclassman that he ought to shower him with gratitude (and also do some chores for him while he's at it). Giving a little bit, and then getting a lot in return: that's what you call good weather.
permissions

Physical affection: Sure! If he can dish it out, he can take it.
Fighting/violence: He'll hate it (he's not at all a fighter), but feel free.
Death: Not unless it's pre-planned.
Mind-reading: Sure thing.
Shipping: Sure! Though a serious relationship might be difficult to achieve with him, due to his idol career + his general frivolousness + the fact he already has a canon list of Most Important People (meaning your character will not be #1). Not impossible but may require some effort.
As far as canonmates go, my favorite ship options for him are Jun, Nagisa, Tatsumi and Eichi, but I'm open to others as well (Ibara, Tsumugi, his roommates, his shuffle unit...). Also open to cross-canon and fwb relationships (which would require less build-up than serious romance).
Smut: Sure. Here is a detailed shipping/smut preferences page, but tl;dr: generally ota, most of my "no"s when it comes to smut are standard ones.
Backtagging: Yes, please. I'm willing to continue stuff pretty much forever.
Threadhopping: If the other player's fine with it then sure.
Contact: Discord is cuedramaticmusic. Otherwise, just PM this journal.
