Nozomi Toujou

Nozomi Toujou is one of the main characters from the ''Love Live! School Idol Project'' franchise.

Nozomi is a third year in Otonokizaka High School. She is the former Student Council Vice-president, as well as a member of Sonoda Umi's idol unit, Lily White.

Appearance
Nozomi has long purple hair that she ties into two pigtails that are held with two light pink scrunchies. She has teal eyes.

Personality
As the former vice-president of the student council and the eldest member of μ's, Nozomi appears as a pretty wise, mysterious and mature girl with an almost all-knowing vibe to her, due to her tarot reading and fortune-telling skills. She's gentle and kind, as well as rather conspirative, usually being the first person to advise μ's whenever they run into an obstacle or trouble, and will usually remain calm and collected during most situations. This carries on even after joining μ's.

Nozomi has a very mischievous side, often teasing the other girls and causing them to get flustered. At times, she can seem perverted as well, as she sometimes threatens to punish some of the members of μ's by grabbing their breasts from behind, her most common target being Nico. This is most prominently seen in Season 1 Episode 7, in order to keep Honoka, Rin and Nico into studying and not fail their exams.

While mischievous, Nozomi also cares deeply for the other girls, and she highly cherishes the friendships the group has formed between them. An example of this is on Season 1 Episode 10, when she noted Maki wasn't getting along well with the other girls, as she tries to bring Maki closer to them. In Season 2 Episode 8, it is also shown that since Nozomi and her family had moved around for most of her childhood, she was very shy and never really had any friends. She began to break out of her shell after meeting Eli, even though she is still unable to bring herself to approach anybody else until Honoka decides to form μ's. Nozomi states in the same episode she had always wanted to do something with her friends, and considers the nine members' friendships with the other a miracle.

Trivia

 * The tarot deck that Nozomi uses isn't actually a real deck, but a hybrid of two.
 * In the first season, all the cards she is shown drawing are from the Major Arcana of the Rider-Waite tarot deck, which is odd in itself that her spiritual power only has her drawing from 22 instead of the whole 78-card deck.
 * In Season 2 Episode 6, she is shown drawing the Two of Disks: Change, which is a Minor Arcana card from Aleister Crowley's Thoth tarot deck. This deck is relatively less famous than the Rider-Waite tarot deck, and it is likely the writers resorted to it only because they couldn't find another card with an appropriate name for the episode's theme.


 * While Nozomi made a cameo in one of the Famitsu App 4Komas for PERFECT Dream Project, Aina Kusuda doesn't reprise her role as the character in the voiced comics.
