Kotori Minami

Kotori Minami is one of the nine main characters in Love Live!. She is a second year in Otonokizaka High School. She is also known as "Legendary Maid Minalinsky" while working in Akihabara. Her image color is gray, though she is also represented with green or white. She is a member of Printemps, a sub-unit under µ's. Her solo album is called Kotori, Lovin' You.

Personality
Kotori is known for having her head in the clouds. Despite this, she is μ's designer along with Nico Yazawa. Kotori has a very huge aptitude for fashion and is very good at drawing costumes for the group. Kotori is shown to be very kind and supportive to her friends and genuinely cares about them, especially their feelings. However, this can go too far as Kotori usually backs Honoka up when she (Honoka) is scolded by Umi.

Kotori is also shown as the most indecisive person among all nine members and tends to have Umi Sonoda and Honoka Kosaka, her childhood friends, make decisions for her. She also has a hard time expressing her feelings, since she always takes other people's feelings into consideration. Kotori is a kind person, but she can also be gullible, as shown in Season 1 Episode 10, wherein Nico claimed that she has a personal chef like Maki Nishikino, and Kotori fell for Nico's lie unknowingly.

In Kotori's Holiday (July 2012), it is revealed that Kotori is the type of person who can't relax unless all the work is done as soon as possible.

Appearance
Kotori is 159 cm tall, which is average for a girl her age, with long dirty blonde hair that she's had since childhood usually let down to her waist. She has brown eyes and fair skin, such as in the picture to the right.

She doesn't have a standard outfit, seeing as she is a school idol with many changes in clothes (the one on the right is her card from the White Day set in the Love Live rhythm game, but there are hundreds more cards all with different outfits), but she does tend to dress in a more traditional Japanese manner when she's out of idol outfits and school uniforms.
