Hotaru Imai is Mikan's best friend. She is extremely intelligent and rational. During the story, though she appears cold and indifferent on the surface, it is apparent that she genuinely cares for Mikan. Her keen observations of Mikan's mistakes and faults leaves others wondering if they are really best friends.
Although she was raised by her parents and is a super-genius, she is a bit mean, especially towards Mikan. She assumes a big-sister role to Mikan and is sometimes the voice of reason to her. Her Alice is that of Invention, and during her time at the country with Mikan and her grandfather, she created many strange but useful inventions, often made to look like animals.
She went to Alice Academy partly because they gave out money and she wanted to pay her old school's dues so it wouldn't be demolished. As an Alice, her parents were compelled to let her go to the Academy. So they probably got tired of evading the government, too. She wanted to go for the position of 'Honor Roll Student' so she could go home to visit Mikan and her parents.
She also tends bully Mikan, or punish others who bully her. She has some goofy points, though; her constant eating habits and her greedy side that causes her make inventions such as those that need a toll payment. Hotaru breaks the fourth wall by teaching the audience about her inventions. The other characters see her explaining her inventions to apparently no one.
She also has an older brother who is one of the student council president of the middle school division. She also knows that both Natsume and Ruka have crushes on Mikan. An enterprising student, she is not above blackmail, most particularly of Ruka -- she takes pictures of him showing his gentler side, probably to cater to the girls in the school, who would buy them. She is an unwilling member of the "3 geeky sisters" composed of Anna, Nonoko, and her.

Imai Hotaru is Mikan's best friend. She and Mikan have what may seem to be a doubtful and strange relationship. Hotaru comes off as cold, quiet, composed, and is often cruel to Mikan (it must be some very tough love). She is also greedy and loves to make a profit, which doesn't out-shine her love for food. Her Alice is Nanotechnology; she is an inventor, and creates very unique and strange inventions. Even though she is always calling Mikan "baka", dummy, and treats her unkindly most of the time, she really does care for her and loves her. She isn't very good at showing how she feels. Like Ruka, she is mostly polker-faced and rarely smiles. (except Ruka seems to be more like an empty shelll sometimes). Hotaru seems to have a serious humor about her which is very entertaining.
