Rika and Hinata... Tell me more... Women loving content....
ALWAYS HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT MY WLW
So, Hinata has always dreamed of being an idol! She dedicated a lot of time & effort into practice, and she did well as a trainee! The issue isn't her skills--she's a phenomenal singer and a great dancer, and being small & pink surely helps from a visual aspect.
The problem is her personality, to be blunt. 😅
She's INTENSE. Hinata has high expectations that even she doesn't always meet. She was delighted to debut with her group, and on stage she played up her angelic image: frilly skirts, tons of fairy kei/ decora accessories, white image color, and always did her hair and makeup to accentuate her blush and frame her pale face with her pink curls, like a cherub.
Behind the scenes? She's brutal. She's strict, she's critical, she's constantly pushing the other girls. She ended up butting heads with a couple of the bolder girls, who told her she was being a tyrant. Eventually they got sick of her treatment and the group disbanded. Hinata's heart was in the right place, but her approach was AWFUL. She wanted them to succeed, but her high ambitions led her to only see faults. They were all talented, but Hinata needed them to be the BEST.
Of course, no agent was crazy enough to produce Hinata after that. While most fans don't know the truth behind her group disbanding, word spread around in the industry.
Which is how Hinata ended up doing street performances and trying to grab free agent jobs. She refused to let her dream die... even if she knew, deep in her heart, she'd blown her chance.
In comes Rika, with sunglasses and a mask to hide her face, and her arms full of Mint Eye flyers. She couldn't help but notice this cutie pie putting on a show in the park. Rika was drawn to her glow, the shine and sparkle of an idol trying to brighten other people's hearts. (Because despite herself, Rika is like a moth to flame and can't resist people who have "sunshine" energy.) She saw hope and promise, but she could also see that Hinata was struggling (why else would she be alone out here, singing a capella?).
Well, Mint Eye is the perfect place for people who have been scorned by society and have no other place to go.
Rika genuinely enjoyed Hinata's performance, and she told her so. She praised Hinata and gave her a flyer, but then also asked for her name.
Hinata, who had felt ignored and abandoned and desperate to reach her "heaven" of being an idol once more... latched onto Rika. Rika really is Hinata's "savior," because her kind words and her attention rekindled Hinata's flame and inspired her to keep going.
Naturally she went to Mint Eye after that and swore her devotion to Rika. So Hinata isn't a regular believer, but rather she has a special role. While Ray handles security and tech, Hinata is important for recruitment and morale at Mint Eye. Who doesn't want to see a cute idol? Who doesn't want to see a cute idol with an ANGEL shtick sing praises about their Savior? Once a month they can have a ☆fun☆ prayer session led by a pop idol. Rika's not a regular cult leader, she's a cool cult leader!
Rika and Hinata definitely are toxic at the beginning. Hinata is obsessed with Rika, and Rika finds her useful and cute. And at times you may find yourself wondering "Who is actually manipulating whom? Who is pulling the strings here?"
They finally get to the point where they're in a healthier, happier, genuine relationship. Rika sees someone who never left her side and wasn't afraid to be bold with her, and Hinata sees someone who isn't a goddess but has just as many flaws as Hinata does. They get their cottagecore ending.
Of course, after the SE, it's a cottage out in Alaska, but y'know.
