Character Name: Subaru Akehoshi Series: Ensemble Stars! Timeline: Horror Night Halloween Canon Resource Links:School, character profile, and stories he appears in. Let me know if anything else is needed!
Personality: Subaru's personality definitely matches his looks: He's warm and cheerful, outspoken and outgoing, and friendly towards anyone he meets on first impression. He's very much a positive force, always looking at the brighter side of a situation if he can and holding on with single-minded determination to what he feels is "right" and "just". This can come with bad points, though, as he's not the type to give up, it's easy to more or less ruin himself... and with how much emphasis he puts on friendships, having them and making them, something like separation and loneliness destroys him pretty thoroughly.
However, he's also... like, stupid. Seriously stupid. It's mostly because he acts on his heart over his mind more often than not, always dashing ahead first to do what he can if a friend's in trouble or bothered, but it's not like he's a complete idiot either for what it's worth; Subaru has a knack of reading people and seeing through their words, able to get to the heart of it no matter how flowery or turnabout it can be. He's able to do it especially with people he knows well, but even in his first meeting with someone as tricksy as Natsume he was able to perceive the other with certain clarity.
That doesn't mean he's the type to quickly point it out though or anything like that. In fact, it's quite the opposite: If it's something that sounds pretty but isn't, like tempting offers or serious talks about this and that, Subaru's prone to claiming he doesn't understand such high talk and difficult concepts, when in reality he knows them very well. He's a sharp person, and his grades are one of the higher in his class on top of that, so it's very much a person who can do whatever he wants if he has an interest in it.
Speaking more on the determination bit, Subaru's a force of nature that'll stick to his guns no matter how unpopular the opinion is if he feels it's the right one. It's a trait he shares with his father, who refused to be helped through less than legal means to be freed from the prison that ultimately killed him, all because he knew it wasn't right to accept offers like that. Despite that, he's not one who holds grudges all that easily -- but he doesn't forget transgressions either, keeping a sort of wariness from memories.
This is most obvious in Autumn Live, when Ibara's schemes start to come to light in trying to essentially steal Trickstar from Yumenosaki and ultimately bring them into CosPro's agency as a continued powerhouse, a tactic that had been used in the past with students who thought the schools beneath its touch were the better future. While Subaru doesn't seem to hold it against Ibara, from then on he's pretty much never really wanting to be around the other because Ibara gives him "creepy feelings" and the like, which is about as much as you'd get on anyone Subaru disliked.
Other things that he dislikes, oddly enough, are things that he does himself? He loves to give people nicknames and act touchy with them, a very physical and affectionate person, but hates it when it's done toward him first. The important part, it seems, is that, that they act before he does. Chiaki Morisawa, the captain of his basketball team, is a very physical and touchy person just like Subaru himself, but Subaru always complains about it; the same is said about Arashi Narukami of Knights' clingyness, when he's just as clingy. It's an interesting contradiction which could be put down to a matter of control over a situation, as it's seen when Subaru starts to lose that due to outside forces he's rattled and prone to panic. A small symptom of a larger problem.
All in all, Subaru is but a teenage boy with little issue of personal space and a good heart, who wants the best for everyone and to spread smiles and happiness the way his father and other idols have, working hard so he can achieve a dream his father ultimately failed to grasp, SS... No matter how often he's thrown off his game, he has faith in his friends and in others to get by, and sincerely thinks that powering through as they've always done will eventually end up in victory, though he can recognize that that isn't always the case either (while his friends point this out, more or less acting as his reminder for things he knows but doesn't want to admit). For all his idiocy and all his stubbornness, there is a shining child who easily lightens the mood, who can befriend almost anyone in a day, who might've been afraid of being close to others due to the bullying of his past but envelopes himself in it now, that intimacy and love.

Victory Road Sample: [What kid from Japan doesn't know Pokémon?
Like, the partner he has now isn't familiar to him at all game-wise, but Rockruff is so cool?! She's no Shiba the way his buddy back home is, but "Daikichi" extends beyond all known and unknown existences -- or so his Mom said, holding the pup in her arms after his father's Daikichi had passed a time ago. So this Daikichi was Daikichi nonetheless, and that suited Subaru just fine.]
You sure know your way around, Daikichi.
[The Rockruff pads confidently through the taller grass, sniffing every now and then at the new, interesting things, and Subaru trails not far behind her, keeping an eye out for Pokémon they can battle. That's one of the best things about this, he gets to be!! An actual trainer!!! Being an idol is always gonna be his number one goal but he is not going to pass up this chance.
Besides. Maybe there are PokéIdols. There's a lady on the radio that sings every now and then, so maybe if he went to that Goldenrod place... He could hit it there. With Daikichi as his partner.
His heart aches at the lack of his friends, of Trickstar and Anzu and all the others, but Subaru focuses on the more important now -- the Oddish that's sprung up from Daikichi's sniffing, a startled puff of powder blowing from its leaves and coating Daikichi's fur; Subaru pulls his arm over his mouth reflexively and steps back, grinning widely behind the cover.
