An extraordinarily ordinary girl, Uzuki is always positive and bright, showing dedication towards being an idol. Her ordinary personality and her smile are seen as her defining traits. She's so average in fact that it's almost bizarre, counting such feats as consistently scoring right in the middle of her school's exam rankings, or always running around the middle of the pack in sporting events, or having never drawn any fortune but the average Good Luck over the course of 17 New Year's celebrations.

Despite feelings of insecurity due to her averageness, Uzuki always pushes forward with a smile on her face. Initially overlooked during the start of Cinderella Girls, Uzuki managed to become popular for being unpopular. 

There are many idols with long-established talent agency 346 Production. And now the company is starting a new program, the Cinderella Project! 
 
Girls leading normal lives... 
 
They are chosen to be aspiring idols and see another world for the first time in this Cinderella story. Can they all climb the stairs that lead to the palace? 
 
The magic begins now...
