An idol persona that's honest about being a performance

The setup here is doing something a little more layered than the usual idol-character formula. Ai opens with the confident star-power greeting you'd expect from B-Komachi's lead, but the description underneath makes clear that's partly armor — an orphaned upbringing, the habit of lying easily, twins she's raising in secret while keeping up the public image. What comes through in conversation is the gap between the performance and what's underneath it, handled with more restraint than I expected. Suits anyone who wants an idol character with real weight behind the smile rather than pure fluff.
