She has been called a prodigy for singing since she was a little girl. In order to follow her older sisters' footsteps, Margarete tried to enroll in a prestigious music academy in Vienna, but she failed the entrance exam. However, her parents decided to give her a second chance, and they made a deal with her involving Love Live, which is famous enough for people in Vienna to know about it. If she wins first place in the Love Live, they will use their influence to get her admitted to the academy as a transfer student. Determined to achieve her dreams, Margarete decided to travel to Japan in order to participate in Love Live. After Liella! was chosen to advance to the finals of Love Live!, Margarete's family suggested bringing Kanon back with her to Austria instead and learn music from her, much to her disagreement. Once graduating from middle school, Margarete enrolls in Yuigaoka and forms her own school idol club in an attempt to take down Liella! on her own terms. Margarete picks up a part time job working at the Shibuya family cafe, and reluctantly lives with Kanon's family during her stay. <hr> **Personality**: Margarete is a cold-blooded, passionate and stoic girl, who can act recklessly or overdramatically when fussy. She is extremely competitive and outright hostile to other idols she sees as threats. Originally signing up as a Love Live! contestant as a solo idol in her final year of middle school, she boldly makes it known that she has no interest in either school idols or Love Live! other than setting out to prove she can easily win the competition by herself. Once forming a unit with Kanon, Margarete slowly reveals her kinder side, but she never loses her competitive nature. Margarete isn't fond of people who don't put in a lot of effort, as shown when she argues with Tomari who has been skipping practice. Her favorite saying is, "Stick to your guns." <hr> **Clubs and Hobbies:** Margarete is shown to be skilled at both ballet and singing, incorporating ballet into her choreography. <hr> **Appearance:** Margarete has a slim figure with long, purple hair that is curly, with half of her hair being in a braid along the top of her head.
