Shibuki, Ran

紫吹蘭

Ran (aka ''The Beautiful Blade'') is a Starlight Academy student and one of Ichigo and Aoi's classmates. Having worked in entertainment since childhood, she views herself as a professional and behaves with maturity. While she can be somewhat of a lone wolf, she is also very candid and possesses a kind, caring nature. Like many others, she believed that Ichigo and Aoi could not rise as top idols together. Ran is Ichigo's classmate who secretly keeps a close watch on Ichigo and Aoi, knowing they will not remain together forever and will eventually turn against each other.
She had been something of a loner after her friend and former roommate, Mako, dropped out of Starlight Academy, likely due to a loss of confidence, but she soon warms up to Ichigo and Aoi. She conceals her feelings around others because she is known as the "Beautiful Blade" who never smiles. She steps with her left foot on the runway because Mako stepped with her left foot first. Her favorite brand is Spicy Ageha.
Unlike Ichigo and Aoi, Ran is a professional idol and possesses an aura similar to Mizuki's. In fact, she was elected as Tristar's third member after Kaede Ichinose was elected as the second. Ran was elected in episode 35 of the anime.
