Daia Nijinosaki (虹ノ咲 だいあ Nijinosaki Daia) is one of the main characters in Season 2 of Kiratto Pri☆Chan. She is Miracle☆Kiratts's classmate, and she sits behind Mirai Momoyama. At the end of episode 54, it was later revealed that she is the mysterious creator of virtual Pri☆Chan idol Daia. Together they serve as the judges for the Jewel Auditions. She is a pop-type idol whose preferred brand is Milky Rainbow, a brand that she created herself.
In episode 89, it was revealed that she created the Jewel Auditions so that she could make friends.
Appearance[]
Daia has fair skin and rounded, downward cast eyes of cyan blue and diamond shaped pupils. She has very long thigh-length, straightened auburn hair that is worn loose with very long bangs covering her face, barely exposing part of one eye. Her forelocks are chest-length, and she has a straightened cowlick.
As of episode 90, she wears her hairstyle similar to that of Daia's. She still covers her right eye with her bang, which has a small lock of hair sticking out.
When performing as an idol, she takes on Daia's original appearance.
Personality[]
She is a quiet and reserved girl who keeps to herself. She has low self-esteem, as expressed she doubted her ability to become a PriChan idol. For many episodes, she struggled to build up enough confidence to do what she wanted. After finally debuting on her own, she has become more open and confident. She used to be heavily reliant on Daia for public-related activities involving the Jewel Auditions but has since then become more independent. Instead of hiding away, she wants to give new things a try, spreading her horizons to the point of traveling abroad to experience what the world has to offer.
Relationships[]
Daia[]
They are very close to each other as Daia was the first one outside her family to call Nijinosaki by her first name, and she was the first to know that Nijinosaki longed to be a PriChan idol. In episode 77, Daia helps her "debut" as an idol by going on stage and performing while she provides the vocals for her performance. In episode 89, when Nijinosaki runs out of Prism Stone after admitting she created the Jewel Auditions, Daia was there to comfort her in her time of crisis. The following episodes showed Nijinosaki becoming more reliant on herself rather than Daia, which contributed to Daia's sudden transformation to Another Daia.
As Another Daia, she became rude towards Nijinosaki and even ignored her. Despite this, Daia also wanted to spend some time with Nijinosaki, but couldn't due to being surrounded by others. During the Jewel Collection, Daia's feelings of jealousy and sadness fully emerged after Mirai breaks the final straw by calling Nijinosaki by her first name, a thing she held special between her and Daia. Naturally, Nijinosaki was worried about Daia since she has been with her every step of the way. After Nijinosaki and Mirai performed, Daia admits that she felt unneeded anymore now that Nijinosaki has new real friends instead of her, a virtual being who cannot be touched by real life people. With the help of Mirai's words, they finally break through, and Daia is able to return to her normal self.
Mirai Momoyama[]
Daia was nervous when she met Mirai at first, but she slowly became comfortable with her. When Daia first bumped into Mirai, she ran away afterwards as well as the second time when Mirai wanted to give her Jewel Pact back to her. After Mirai catches her, she stops, and Mirai brings her to the bench at the park to sit and talk. Mirai returns her Jewel Pact to her and talks about how the KiracCHU that Daia made was soft and cute. They walk together to school, and later, Daia helps Miracle Kiratts with their video/program.
As their time together progressed, Daia became closer to Mirai, as shown when Daia allows Mirai to call her by her first name rather than her last name. She greatly admires Mirai's enthusiasm, confidence, and bright aura, which in turn, encourages Daia to be more confident.
Emo Moegi & Rinka Aoba[]
She generally likes to spend her time with them along with Mirai.
Etymology[]
Nijinosaki (虹ノ咲) - Niji (虹) means "rainbow", No (ノ) may indicate possession, and Saki (咲) means "bloom". Altogether, it means "rainbow's bloom" or "bloom of the rainbow". This could be a reference to how Daia has "bloomed" as a person throughout the progression of Season 2.
Daia (だいあ) can be interpreted as "Dia", which is short for "Diamond".
