Bio[]
Appearance[]
Aoi has light skin with wavy cobalt blue hair in a side ponytail tied by a light blue scrunchie and blue eyes. When her scrunchie is removed, her hair reaches slightly past her shoulder. She sometimes wears glasses.
Personality[]
Aoi is intelligent, possessing an encyclopedic knowledge and excellent analytical skills. She is highly determined towards her goals and approaches them very seriously. Aoi makes sure to plan ahead and research as much as she can for a situation. She is hard-working and has a bit of a perfectionist streak.
Aoi is known for being much more mature than Ichigo and tends to keep her on the right track, but has times when she can get very excited. Although Aoi is confident and in good spirits, deep down, she is afraid of the fact that she knows it's possible they won't both rise to stardom together as planned.
Background[]
As a child, Aoi quickly became interested in idols upon discovering the freedom and excitement of it, which was a strict contrast to the traditional arts she partook in. Since then, she has dedicated herself to idols and has studied idols ever since. Aoi appears to be quite lucky as she is seen meeting several idols she is a fan of throughout the series.
After bringing Ichigo to a concert of Mizuki Kanzaki, Aoi encouraged Ichigo to join the life of idol hood together to try out for Starlight School.
Relationships[]
- Ichigo is Aoi's best friend and fellow member in Soleil. Aoi the one who first inspired Ichigo to become an idol, performed together and became idols together. They were also roommates from the beginning of their idol journey until now. Aoi has also given Ichigo advice relating to all aspects of idols throughout the series, and was one of the two producers for the unit 2wingS Kī.
- Ran is another close friend of Aoi's and one of her fellow members in Soleil. When the two first met, Ran was very sharp and serious with her and Ichigo, especially with Aoi having a frequent habit of embarrassing her about some unknown facts that contrast to her image as the Beautiful blade. As the series progresses, Ran warms up to Aoi by supporting her through everything she does.
- Kī was Aoi's partner in the Partners Cup. Both of them share an interest in idols together and often trade information with each other. Together, they helped Seira and Ichigo realize what was important during their competition against WM.
