… under the cut! Lots of different hairdos part 2. Again, if you are going to post these somewhere else credits aren't needed but highly appreciated.
Designed with sharp, narrow eyes and crooked teeth, she looks like a girl who will cause trouble for everyone but, according to the designer, in the anime she's portrayed as a lovable character who's impossible to hate. This draft design shows her having a pixelated music note emblem.
The initial outfit included a wrap skirt, shorts, and half-boots. The more recent design initially had studs all over the headband, on the knee-high socks, and on some other places for a more punk-rock vibe, but they were removed in the final draft. You can also see that the very first Chii, much like the others, had ombre hair, this time in blue! Her emblem was initially meant to be a planet for some reason, now owned by the Nanaura siblings.
As for the hairstyles they tried to add volume to the top, to let the ends flow naturally in a short bob, and to add a little length on the nape. «It gives the feeling of a grown-up Chii styling her hair». Again, in these early drafts you can see the blue ombre and the planet emblem.
For Dark Chii they just lengthen the bangs, added a mesh and blunted the bangs but flipped them outward.

An early sketch of Quartet Star! The production wanted a four members rival group since the early stages so they were designed simultaneously. Each was planned to have different characteristics in mind: the student council president, the rich girl, the free spirited girl and the doll-like girl.
Sakura
Sakura was designed by keeping in mind her bold and strong-willed personality as the student council president. Her design evokes the image of a dignified person. Her hair was originally thought to be purple with full bangs, you can see green and pink ombre on them as well. Her eyes were changed from pink to green to red and her Buzzlume coord looked a lot like Chii's with some inspiration from Airi's top, a lot more cooler than the final design which is elegant. The final draft looks pretty much like the current design minus the emblem which is a butterfly with a yellow line in the middle.
Tamaki
The initial design was developed by mixing retro and modern elements. Along the way they decided on an easier to imitate hairstyle and a more gothic style. You can see her image color was green with pink accents, and her Buzzlume had some kind of "rich girl on a travel" vibes. She had long hair and pink ombre. Her emblem was what seems to be an egg-shaped cabochon (most likely a reference to her name). On the final draft she has a butterfly emblem that is now Sakura's symbol.
All the different hairstyles that were tried for Tamaki! The bottom right one could be the current Tamaki with her hair down!
Airi
Among the serious trident council president the production needed a more funny and free-spirited girl. At first, Airi had a stylish, street-like appearance. Then she was changed to reflect a more cute and pop style, having her in the current pastel colors. Her hair were white with a dark green ombre. Noticeably, you can see the street fashion inspirations in the leg warmers, the sneakers and the long flared pants, which resemble Wakana's! Her emblem in the early designs was a slice of lemon, which was later changed to a rainbow in the final draft and into a candy in the final design.
Rinrin
She was meant to look like a doll, so the designer gave her heavy and striking eyelashes to make her eyes look slightly closed. Rinrin is probably the character that less changed from the early to the final design. She initially had pink hair with a hint of white/pastel pink ombre and they were styled with two fluffy scrunchies. Her image color was initially a pinkish red instead of orange and her emblem was a tulip. In the final draft she had a blonde ombre that was later removed along with the fluffy scrunchies.
