}}<blockquote>''STΔRLIVHT's leader. A natural talent at almost everything, she's taken it as a challenge and become a relentless perfectionist.''

''Generally thought of as an icy person because of her blunt words and emotionless face, but she's actually like this so that [[Grace Kamenashi|Grace]] can understand her easily.''

''Has a surprising fondness for trashy romance novels. Cares about her team's well-being more than she lets on.<ref>https://anarch.games/starlivht/character.html</ref>''</blockquote>

Sera Hoshikawa is the leader of the idol group [[STΔRLIVHT]], elected narrowly by popular vote shortly after the group formed. Her relentless focus on creating a strong idol group can cause friction between the members, especially between her and the easygoing [[Hakuno Nekoda|Hakuno]]. She does not do this because she looks down on them; she genuinely does want STΔRLIVHT to reach its full potential, though occasionally struggles with her role as leader.

She has been part of an idol group with Hakuno, [[Grace Kamenashi|Grace]] and [[Sumire Hitori|Sumire]] since high school, first starting as a school idol club<ref>https://twitter.com/noiszgame/status/1475643781164814336</ref>, and then becoming a formal idol group after being scouted by Antiphon at a HI-LIVE performance<ref>https://twitter.com/noiszgame/status/1531029019327537153</ref>. She is also in a dedicated relationship with Grace, and has been for a year. She loves Grace dearly, but often worries about her and feels a need to protect her due to her shy and non-confrontational nature.

Sera's lack of facial expressions is for Grace's sake; it is so Grace won't miss out on anything that would have otherwise been in facial cues, though Grace can still read her face easily.<ref>Lost Data: With Sera 2</ref>

She has a rivalry with [[Shion Nekoda]], leader of idol group [[SUNRaiSE]], though it's not actively hostile, instead motivating the both of them to soar higher in their pursuit of a view from the top. Sera also has a complicated relationship with her mother [[Setsuna Hoshikawa|Setsuna]], and the two are somewhat distant.

=Story=
==[[2ECONDS TO STΔRLIVHT: Forever My Diamond]]==
Forever My Diamond details Grace and Sera's last few days of middle school before graduation, and Sera struggles with the feelings she has for Grace. However, newspaper club president [[Yoko Hinamori]] spreads the rumour that Sera is dating friend and music club co-president [[Akira]], much to Grace's dismay.

Later on that day, Akira confesses to having feelings for Sera under the cherry blossom tree in the courtyard; however, she turns him down and confirms what he already knew - that she is in love with Grace. Under the blossom tree, Sera and Grace confess to each other, and kiss for the first time, becoming girlfriends.

{{Sera Story}}

=History =

When she was younger, Sera believed herself a princess, and after becoming friends with her in grade school, [[Grace Kamenashi|Grace]] became her knight; in middle school, Sera ran the school's music club for several years running along with Grace and [[Akira]].

Sera is somewhat distant with her [[Setsuna Hoshikawa|mother]], though her mother was supportive of her coming out and admitting to being in a relationship with Grace.

She attended [[Neo-Metro]] Music Institute with Grace, Hakuno and Sumire, where they formed [[STΔRLIVHT]].
