She's the daughter of a shrine priest and basically grew up steeped in Shinto traditions. Working part-time as a shrine maiden, she's deeply connected to her faith in a way that shapes everything about her—even down to her birthday falling on January 1st, which is huge in Japan religiously. She's from Nara, a city famous for its shrines, so the whole package just fits together naturally.
In the anime, she's one of 346 idols competing for attention.
