Ayano Aishi

Appearance: Ayano has pale skin, dark grey eyes, and straight, mid-back length black hair. She stands at a height of 165 cm (5 ft. 5 in), weighs 43.5 kg (96 lbs.),[2] and has average-sized breasts.[3] Her hair is tied into a high ponytail with sharp bangs swept to the right, the middle one being the most prominent, and two strands of hair that frame her face, reaching to her shoulders.

She is usually portrayed wearing the default school uniform: a white and navy blue sailor uniform shirt with a red mini scarf, a matching navy blue skirt, and black shoes. With all uniforms, she wears black thigh high socks.

When in Buraza Town, she wears a teal-green shirt, blue denim skirt, black thigh high socks, black gloves, and sneakers.

When performing the Light Music Club minigame, Ayano wears a black off the shoulder dress, black wrist warmers, a black ripped stocking on her left leg, and calf high black and white zip up boots.

Personality: Ayano suffers from a fictional type of insanity. This condition doesn't allow her to experience normal, strong feelings. She had been this way since as far back as she could remember, before meeting Taro Yamada for the first time. Ayano doesn't have the ability to feel emotions, empathy, or remorse. She doesn't feel guilt or shame for harming others. However, she can feel pity at times. She knows what the general people consider to be "wrong", but she just doesn't care. Ayano's behavior does not perfectly match the definition of either a sociopath or psychopath, but she is capable of actions that only a psychopath would consider taking--being usually bold and egotistical. She doesn't see the point of fighting students non-lethally (besides the delinquents) because they will just report her to the teachers. She is also capable of nonviolent elimination methods in order to cause less trouble for Senpai or to run less of a risk of getting caught while doing something violent. If Ayano doesn't have a goal, she is usually researching and spending time learning about things and items that would trick people into thinking she is a normal girl. If she does have a goal, she would spend her free time advancing herself towards that goal "single-mindedly, like a robot." Ayano's "hobby" is trying to convince everyone around her that she is a normal girl with normal feelings. She buys manga, plays video games, and rides a bike to project the image of a regular school girl. However, she doesn't enjoy any of it. Although she has video games and manga in her room, it is all an act, and she only keeps them because she is expected to have "some degree of familiarity" with the items. She learns to be a "normal girl" by eavesdropping at her school to learn what girls her age are doing or watching. Videos she watches includes what she learns from eavesdropping. If Ayano is asked about it, she can provide an answer and falsify her personality as a normal person who knows and enjoys the same things that other people her age know and enjoy. Ayano doesn't want to get or be remembered. She tries to avoid gathering any kind of attention to herself, as she deliberately avoids other people. Ayano would socialize just enough to not be considered a loner, but not too much to be well known by her classmates. Due to her condition, Ayano is shown to be rather extremely selfish and uncaring to others. She only cares about pursuing Senpai as she believes the one that made her complete is the only thing that matters to her, much like her mother. Her focus on getting Senpai's love is most likely powered by her fear of losing her chance to feel alive forever, like Ryoba felt when she was her age. Ayano is also shown to be extremely delusional due to her believing that she is more worthy of Senpai's love than the rivals because they could never love him as she can, when in reality, she isn't, as evidenced from when she saw Osana Najimi. Due to being mentally unstable, Ayano is shown to be very sensitive and bad-tempered, especially when it comes to her Senpai. It is evidenced in SNAP mode that Ayano will enter in enraged state whenever things go wrong, even when it's something a normal person could come back from. Overall, Ayano is a blank slate whose personality is determined by the player's actions and choices, but all players have the capacity to commit each of the possible actions in the game. She isn't incredibly talkative by default and will only speak when necessary.
