Nico's famous 'Nico Nico Nii' catchphrase. Nico's obsession with making others smile with her catchphrase ('Nico Nico Nii!' or にっこにっこにー) is related to when Nico would try her hardest to cheer up her family members during hardships. Her brazen desire for the spotlight and to be doted on is a product of not being afforded such attention due to her home situation. However, the revelation of Nico's home life provides insight as to why Nico's specific personality traits and values developed and how they inform her behavior within μ's. Unaware of the truth, Cocoro, Cocoa, and Cotaro act happy, proud, and inspired by the idea of their oldest sister's unparalleled success.Īll of this information comes as a surprise to the other members, as it runs contrary to her often self-centered behavior at school and during idol work. This is discovered when Nico's siblings express their belief that the other members are Nico's backup dancers, which was a lie that Nico told them and substantiated with altered μ's posters in which she was the center (switched with Honoka). She will go as far as to lie in order to make them happy. Most importantly, however, she seems to care very much for her younger siblings, and will do anything to make them smile. Because of this, Nico is accustomed to and skilled in cooking and housekeeping. Nico is the eldest by the largest age gap, with her three siblings being all much younger than her and closest to age with each other. Because Nico's mother is nearly never home, Nico has long since assumed the role of their household's head (or possibly sole) caretaker. Due to being in a single-parent household, money is tight and their living space is compact. Nico's father has been out of the picture, and so her mother is constantly out of the house in order to work and financially provide needs for her four children. In Season 2 Episode 4, it is revealed she has two younger sisters named Cocoro and Cocoa, and a younger brother Cotaro. However, one by one the members gave up because Nico's standard for idols was too high for them and they couldn't keep up. In Season 1 Episode 5, it is discovered that during her first year in high school she started an idol group.
