ISML Profile Flavor Text


The sound of a gentle melody coming from the music room is most likely the work of the calm and collected Nishikino Maki.

Coming from a wealthy background and intelligent in her own right, Maki prefers to spend her time alone, undisturbed by her peers. The piano is the medium that brings out her true self: a girl madly in love with music. Classical, jazz, pop, rock, R&B, composition, and voice - Maki is knowledgeable in all kinds of music. However, when asked to join an idol group as a composer, Maki refuses, simply because she does not like the idea. But she might offer her assistance here and there if her peers ask her nicely for help.

While very mature for her age, people tend to forget that she is still in her freshman year of high school. In rare moments, Maki shows a more childish side of herself. She gets embarrassed when people show their surprise at her wealthy background, can be stubborn if things do not go her way, and still believes in that one man who only comes during Christmas while wearing a large red suit. Even so, her friends love her all the same.

Maybe this school idol idea is not so bad after all...
