Mira Konohata

Mira Konohata (木ノ幡 みら, Konohata Mira) is the main protagonist of Koisuru Asteroid. She is the daughter of Akira Konohata and Yuko Konohata and the younger sister of Misa Konohata who is aspired to join the Astronomy team from the Earth Sciences Club.

Appearance
Mira is a young girl with shoulder-length brown hair that is usually decorated with a star shaped hairpin on the right side with bangs hanging over her forehead and purple-ish dark blue/yellow eyes that resembles a planet/star at the night sky.

She is usually seen wearing her school uniform.

Personality
Mira is a kind and cheerful girl who can be silly sometimes and more serious if she wants to rival one of her friends' silly antics. She struggles with her studies and she got really into astronomy, although she doesn't really have much knowledge about it.

Having mistaken her for a boy since their first encounter years prior, it is implied that Mira held romantic feelings for Ao Manaka as she has written a romance manga with Ao as the main love interest - one which Mira never wanted her to see.

Background
During a town camp, Ao Manaka was looking at the sky when Mira approached her. Ao showed her Jupiter and told her some facts impressing her. They revealed their names and Ao told Mira that her name meant variable star and showed her a book about a star Mira that changed brightness, making Mira happy. Mira asked Ao if there was a star with her name, but Ao said there is no star with such a weird name. Mira then decided they will discover an asteroid and name it Ao.

Years later, they both joined the Hoshizaki High School and same Earth Sciences Club as they were interested in Astronomy. And soon, they realized they knew each other from before and made the promise to find an asteroid together.
