Aishwarya Lai (Aishwarya Rai in the fan translation) is a sorceress that is the one of the de facto rulers of Amidahara, ruling from her Crimson Tower. She's a long time "friend" of Annerose Vajra and an occasional client.

She appears as a side character in Witch of Steel Annerose and as a background character in Taimanin RPGX.

Isn't it obvious? The idea of Anne spending so much time on such a deadweight's simply astounding. So you're the one, huh...? Aishwarya Lai

Personality Intelligent, careful and mischievous does appear harmless but can become dangerous if one does not follow the rules she sets.

She has many "hedonistic" hobbies and enjoys sex a lot, being described as a "vamp". While being mostly friendly, she is a bit of a sadist, specially to her "best friend" Annerose Vajra. Twisted in many ways but not fully evil and holds true to her word. Aishwarya or Aishi if she talks to a friend, is morally dubious and specially enjoys backstabbing Annerose for fun.

She tries to steal her servant, Tachibana Rikurou, for herself or put Annerose in sexual situations. Overall, she is a pervert, if not a borderline nymphomaniac. She prefers to be called Aishe by her friends.

History Background A powerful witch, which can read the future, known at times as the Crimson Queen of Amidahara.

She controls the "Crimson Tower" a casino-like establishment where the citizens of Amidahara engage in gambling and perverted activities, some of which Aishwarya herself takes part in. Aishwarya is a long time “friend” of Annerose Vajra and an occasional client, though Aishwarya can be dangerous even to her friends and Annerose is careful around her.

Before the start of Witch of Steel Annerose, she spent the last two years in Prague, the center of western magic. While Lai often does not fight, she herself is able to defend herself well, using blood magic, with which she can create blades. She is the younger sister of Anushka Lai, which unlike her is much more evil.

Visual Novels Aishwarya Lai 3 After returning, she started to get interested in Annerose's new slave, Tachibana Rikurou. That had started to work for the Annerose Detective Agency six months ago, and gained the powers of an immortal servant. She helped him to capture a transformed cat, a lost pet of a client. Using her charm, Lai, had some "oral fun" with him, using her ability to read his future, by exchanging fluids. Amused, by the short exchanged, she hopes to see him again.

Annerose, warned Rikurou later that making prolonged contact is not a good idea, because if a witch like Aishwarya knows the future of somebody, she could spy on them and decide their fate. Aishwarya also, is a troublesome person in Annerose's opinion not to be trusted.

Aishwarya later captured the weakened Li Mayfeng, which lost a fight against Rikurou and Annerose. The captive was used in a sexual game arena, to test Annerose and Rikurou. Being confronted by both for help to gain intel about Barde Barde's location, she tests Tachibana in a logic puzzle with either Mayfeng or Annerose to be punished if he fails. As a reward for winning the Chaos Arena game, she has sex with him to read his future and find the location of Barde. However, this was a trap of Barde that had given Rikurou a type of paralyzing curse, that was passed along unnoticed, by one of his pawns, Otonashi Miki, in order to incapacitate Aishwarya. With sex, this curse became active and Aishwarya was unable to move and became an easy target for Barde that appeared before the two of them and summoned a tentacled plant creature to capture, torture, kill and ultimately absorb Aishwarya.

Aishwarya is finally killed by the creature as Barde removes her heart, that either always was or turned into a Philosopher's Stone. Annerose arrives too late to stop her death, but in her final act, she spat her own blood, which formed into the intel of Barde's location for Annerose and Rikurou.
