Aira Shiratori

Aira Shiratori (白鳥 愛羅, Shiratori Aira?) is one of the main characters of the manga series Dandadan.

She is a popular student at Kami High who became one of Momo Ayase and Okarun's main allies whenever the two are faced with the paranormal.

Initially, Aira reveled in her social status as the popular girl at Kami High and strove to maintain her reputation. Outwardly, she appears coy, sweet, innocent, and somewhat air-headed. However, internally, she was vain, arrogant, and insensitive, a side she only showed to a select few people, such as her close friends or those who anger her enough. Her beauty became a tool for her to use to tease her male classmates, and she looked down upon them for being easily charmed by her facade. She was also not above committing acts of cruelty when provoked by others.

At some point, Aira was killed in a battle but was revived by the youkai (demon) Acrobatic Silky, whose spirit within her provides Aira with her spiritual aura and powers, including enhanced acrobatic agility and the ability to transform her pink hair into extra arms. After being transferred Acrobatic Silky's aura, Aira subsequently inherited the yokai's powers as a result. When choosing to access Acrobatic Silky's powers, Aira enters a form where her hair increases in volume and gains a mask that resembles the yokai's face; covering all the way down to her neck while leaving her left eye exposed.

By Aira's account, Acrobatic Silky's personality also ends up influencing her, as she explained to Okarun that she inadvertently starts to become foul mouthed to those who show her disrespect (though this could have very well been an excuse to prevent having Okarun look at her differently).

Aira bumps into the protagonist with ulterior motives.
