Rizumu is a student who goes to the same school as Aira. She has horrible grades and even says that getting a 70 would be a miracle for her. But she is very good at dancing and attends a dance school for Prism Stars named "Pretty Top". She always tries to do her best and wants to become the Prism Queen to perform the "Aurora Rising" thinking that it will bring her mother back, the legendary prism queen Kanzaki Sonata who disappeared after performing the legendary jump. She sometimes tries to hard that she forgets what the prism show is really about. She has orange hair and light brown eyes which is noted by Ara's mother to look exactly like how Sonata looked like when she was younger. She seems to be knowledgeable about love from a certain book of hers. It is very obvious that Hibiki is the one she thinks about. She has even had a girls talk about boys lips with Aira. She blushes because of Aira's awkward question asking her if she has tried that on Hibiki to which she replied that she would try on him next time. She can easily become jealous though. She loves to eat basically anything and absolutely loves meat. She is interested in romance. (Voiced by Kanae Itō

Mion is a popular idol and model and is headstrong. She doesn't stop at saying her thoughts out loud and can be stubborn sometimes too. She tries to act like an adult most of the time. In the beginning she thought that the prism show was a waste of her time until she saw Aira and Rizumu perform in the Tiara Cup. She got her motivation back. She is actually very lonely without her parents but tries not to show it. She has,however, warmed up to Aira and Rizumu after losing the Summer Queen Cup. She seems to like and admire Jun even though he is 10 year older than her. It is hinted that she may fall in love with Wataru even though she likes Jun the best for now. She had went on a date with Wataru to the fireworks festival despite having him carry all of her prizes. She has become great friends with Aira and Rhythm. She is actually afraid of dark places and ghosts or monsters. She had thought that Wataru was unreliable and depended more on Jun until he proved to her that he would protect her.(Voiced by Azusa Kataoka

Aira is a junior high school girl who one day was accidentally scouted by a man named Jun to be a Prism Star. She is very clumsy and not very good at sports. Aira always tries to look at the bright side and is a huge fan of Mion. She is very naive but is so considerate of everyone. She has a younger brother who teases her and two little twin sisters who cheer her on. She may be absurdly clumsy but she is very good at coordinating clothes which she may have gotten from her former prism show stylist mother, Omi Harune. She was the first of our two heroines to perform a prism jump. She also really likes clothes and especially Shou's store called Prism Stone. Her father is very protective of her. She claims that she loves Shou's designs not him which may actually be a lie. She had gone on a date with Shou to the fireworks festival. He did unintentionally make her blush a few times through the episode by holding her hand or hugging her for example. It is clear to Rizumu and Mion that she likes Shou the most which isn't good from her father's point of view. She and Rizumu had a girls talk about how girls sometime look at boy's lips and touch their own lips when talking to them. She asked Rizumu if she has tried it on Hibiki only to make her blush and talk about Aira and Shou. Aira says that they aren't like that but she seems to be blushing and imagining the scene. She finally reveals to Rizumu and Mion that Shou kissed her on the forehead in the first episode. She is excited when she travels to a new place and isn't afraid of dark places. She continues to believe that she admires Shou and likes him because he is an amazing person. (Voiced by Kana AsumiKana Asumi

Staff of Pretty Top
Jun is the person who scouted Aira. It seems that he can see star aura. He also seems to know about what will happen in the future. He believes that Aira, Rizumu and Mion were all destined to be with each other. He is usually seen with Asechi president. He recites poems that Aira and Rizumu are clueless about while only Mion seems to understand what they stand for. He is 24 years old and seems to be the object of Mion's love. He seems to have understood why Aira was doing so well in episode 4's prism show calling it "youth". He seems to like to hint that something will happen later on. In the latest episode, he had Aira, Rizumu, and Mion make a a huge gyoza for the president so that she would be rejected at the marriage interview for having a weird smell. When the girls presented the big dumpling to the president, he replied saying "It's a Takigawa joke." He seems to like Kyoko. (Voiced by Susumu ChibaSusumu Chiba
