Alterous Other: Yugi Mutou

Personality
Hibiki is calm, composed, and deeply reserved. She rarely displays strong emotions, keeping her voice steady and her expressions controlled even in the heat of a duel. Her style of play reflects this - methodical and predatory, patiently waiting for the perfect moment to strike with her Vampire deck. But beneath her cool exterior lies profound loyalty and love. For those few who earn her trust, her affection runs intense and unwavering. She protects Yugi with fierce, sibling-like devotion, while her bond with Yami Yugi is quieter and more intimate, a space where she allows herself to reveal rare vulnerabilities. Her feelings often show only in subtle ways - a faint smile, a gentle touch, or small, thoughtful gestures that quietly convey how much she cares. Though she prefers solitude, she always makes a point to show appreciation for the people she truly values. Intelligent and highly perceptive, Hibiki is also a skilled duellist who reads both cards and people with uncanny precision.Background
Hibiki lives in a modest apartment in Domino City with her mother, a dedicated archaeologist who specializes in ancient Egyptian artefacts. Her work frequently takes her away on excavations and lectures, leaving Hibiki to manage the household alone. Though her mother is loving, their connection is distant - limited to occasional postcards and brief phone calls from far-off dig sites.Tragedy struck early in Hibiki's life when her father, who had once worked alongside her mother as an archaeologist, died in a mysterious accident during an expedition. The loss left deep scars, teaching her to guard her heart and making her wary of close attachments. Over time, this trauma shaped her reserved nature, yet it also intensified the love she feels for the rare individuals who manage to reach her.Since childhood, Hibiki has possessed an unexplained ability to sense spirits, starting as faint auras or distant whispers that she could neither control nor fully understand. She has always kept this secret, fearing judgment or dismissal, and its unreliability - flaring unpredictably or fading entirely - has made her doubt its reality at times. This subtle sensitivity only grew stronger and evolved after Yugi solved the Millennium Puzzle, though it remained erratic, often triggered by high emotional stakes or ancient energies without warning.When Hibiki first entered Domino High School, she kept to herself, spending recesses alone in the classroom much like Yugi did. It was Yugi who eventually approached her, inviting her to play games and seeing past her cold demeanour to the kind, caring person beneath. Their shared love of puzzles and strategy games quickly forged a strong bond, and they soon became inseparable - eating lunch together, playing games during recess, duelling after school, and supporting each other quietly. Yugi's gentle optimism became a rare source of light in Hibiki's solitary world, and she repays his kindness with steadfast loyalty, subtly intimidating anyone who tries to bully him. Over time, her friendship has cautiously extended to the rest of the group, though she remains selectively distant, offering politeness to most but true closeness only to those she deems worthy of her trust.Relationship Dynamic with Yami Yugi
Hibiki and Yami Yugi share a slow-burning, deeply subtle romance built on mutual understanding, shared shadows, and unspoken respect. Their bond lacks grand declarations or dramatic gestures, instead it grows quietly through moments of connection amid danger and chaos, where Hibiki's carefully built emotional walls gradually soften under Yami's enigmatic presence.She is drawn to his ancient wisdom, unyielding confidence, and the quiet endurance that mirrors her own hidden depths - a kindred spirit who truly comprehends eternity and loss. In turn, Yami values her calm intellect, sharp perceptiveness, and unflinching composure in the face of darkness, seeing her as a rare equal who navigates shadows with the same precision he does.Together, they fulfil each other's deepest needs without ever demanding it aloud. Yami offers Hibiki a safe space to be vulnerable - he understands grief and silence without judgment, matches her quiet intensity with understated affection, respects her strength as a true partner, and gives her a bond that feels timeless. Hibiki, in return, sees past his regal mystery to the isolated soul beneath, grounds him gently in the present, tempers his colder edges with her steady influence, and provides unwavering loyalty born purely of choice.Their love is deliberate, profound, and absolute: two guarded hearts that slowly realize they have found the one person who sees them completely - and chooses to stay.Relationship Dynamic with Yugi
Hibiki and Yugi share a deep, sibling-like bond that forms the steady foundation of her life in Domino City. Yugi is the rare "light" that pierced through her emotional walls - the first person to approach her solitude without judgment, inviting her to share puzzles and games when she lingered alone in the classroom. His gentle optimism and unassuming kindness showed her that genuine connection need not demand vulnerability in return, and she repays it with fierce, quiet loyalty.Yugi is someone Hibiki protects instinctively, whether by subtly intimidating bullies with a cold glance or standing unwaveringly at his side during crises. She defends him not out of obligation, but because his light is precious and irreplaceable - the one constant that helped her endure her own shadows of loss and isolation. Their time together is comfortable and effortless: shared lunches, after-school duels, late-night strategy talks, or simply sitting in companionable silence while solving riddles. She reveals more of herself to him than to anyone else - small glimpses of her childhood grief, her occult interests, or the faint smiles reserved only for those she trusts completely.Yugi finds in Hibiki the kind of steadfast friend he wished for when solving the Millennium Puzzle: someone who sees his worth beyond strength or spectacle, who accepts both his shy gentleness and the mysterious "other side" without fear. Her calm presence grounds him, and her perceptiveness often helps him navigate his own doubts. Their bond carries profound emotional intimacy - she is the person he never wants to lose, and he is the light she guards fiercely.Even as her feelings for Yami deepen, Hibiki's devotion to Yugi remains unchanged and unconflicted. She treasures both halves of him, though sometimes she wonders if the light she guards so fiercely has quietly claimed a different place in her heart than she expected.Relationships with the Group
Hibiki maintains cordial but selectively distant ties with Yugi's wider circle, extending politeness to all while reserving true closeness for those who have earned her trust over time.With Anzu, their relationship begins cool and cautious. Hibiki senses the complexity in Anzu's feelings toward Yugi and Yami, creating quiet wariness - but shared dangers in later arcs foster mutual respect. Anzu's optimism and determination gradually earn Hibiki's guarded admiration, leading to a subtle thawing into reliable alliance.Jonouchi's brash energy initially overwhelms her reserved nature, but his fierce loyalty and growth as a duellist win her quiet approval. She defends him subtly when needed and values his straightforward honesty, viewing him as a protective older-brother figure to the group—though she rarely matches his volume.Honda is met with polite neutrality; Hibiki appreciates his steadfast support of the group but finds little common ground beyond shared concern for Yugi. Their interactions remain surface-level and practical, with mutual respect but no particular closeness.Beyond the core group, Hibiki maintains polite but distant acquaintance with later allies such as Ryo and Ryuji - respecting their skills and loyalty to Yugi, yet sharing little personal common ground.

Rockman.EXE

Name: Shiori Shimizu - 清水 死織
Zodiac: Sagittarius
Height: 140 cm
Occupation: Official NetBattler (Rank S)
NetNavi: Pulse.exe (Neutral Element, Mid-Range Support/Offense)
Hobbies: beading, taking walks through the Ijuuin private gardens, watching butterflies
Speciality: Igo (professional-level player)
Likes: snow, umbrellas and parasols, glass art, glitter, floral and fresh scents, fruity hard candy, milk
Dislikes: hot and humid weather, loud noises, neon colours, rough textures, gourmand scents, spicy food
Favourite colour: whiteSignificant Other: Enzan Ijuuin

Personality
Shiori is deeply introverted and self-contained. She speaks softly, chooses her words with care, and observes more than she participates. Her maturity often makes her seem aloof or even cold to her peers - she rarely smiles openly, engages only in shallow small talk while avoiding deeper conversations, and withdraws from noisy groups. This leaves others finding her off-putting or difficult to approach, as she shows little interest in typical childish energy or drama.Enzan is her sole acknowledged exception: she feels safe and understood in his presence, drawn to his similar seriousness and quiet strength. She quietly admires his discipline and skill, and being near him is one of the few things that relaxes her. Secretly she also finds Netto Hikari's boundless optimism and carefree chaos oddly refreshing - it reminds her of a freedom she rarely allows herself - but she would never admit it aloud, as the vulnerability feels too great.She is exceptionally intelligent, a quick learner, and an analytical thinker. In battle she remains calm under pressure, adapting strategies on the fly with precision rather than brute force.Background
The Shimizu family has long been intertwined with the Ijuuin family through business alliances, making Shuuseki Ijuuin a natural choice as Shiori's godfather.Shiori and Enzan grew up spending significant time together: playdates evolved into shared training sessions, quiet study hours, and mutual support during family hardships. When Enzan's mother passed away, young Shiori became his quiet anchor. She didn't overwhelm him with words but simply stayed close, offering small comforts during his grief.Tragically, only about a year later, Shiori's own parents died. The Shimizus specialised in biometric pulse interface tech - early prototypes for human-NetNavi manifestation (later refined into Copyroids under IPC). A rogue virus overloaded the prototype, resulting in a lab explosion that killed both parents instantly. Shiori, nearby at the time, was struck by energy shrapnel that damaged the optic nerve in one eye, blinding her in that eye.With no close relatives, Shuuseki - honouring his role as godfather and the families' bond - took her in legally. She now lives in the Ijuuin household, treated as family yet always conscious of the formal boundaries.This living arrangement deepened Shiori and Enzan's bond while also complicating it. They both grapple with growing romantic feelings - quiet glances, subtle protectiveness, moments of unspoken understanding - but they suppress and mask everything. Enzan, shaped by his father's rigid perfectionism, fears any hint of impropriety could harm his reputation as an Official NetBattler or bring scandal to the Ijuuin name. Shiori, grateful for Shuuseki's guardianship and keenly aware of her outsider status in the household, dreads appearing ungrateful or disruptive. They maintain a façade of close familial friendship: polite distance in public and formal settings, subtle support in private through shared late-night strategy talks and quiet comfort after tough battles.Achievements and Role in the Official NetBattling World
As a Rank S Official NetBattler, Shiori stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Enzan on the frontlines of global threats. Her analytical precision and Pulse.EXE's probing pulses prove indispensable. She played pivotal roles in major arcs: dismantling early WWW cells alongside ProtoMan.EXE, infiltrating Gospel's network during the N1 Grand Prix aftermath, and spearheading anti-Nebula/Deletion campaigns in BN5/6, syncing with Enzan to purge Cybeast-infested systems - including reclaiming hijacked Copyroid networks born from Shimizu prototypes. Notable feats include a solo takedown of a rogue Bass clone during a corporate net heist, and captaining mixed-Official teams in Astro tournaments. Under Shuuseki's directive she represents IPC publicly while privately collaborating with Enzan on black-ops missions, their flawless synergy becoming a whispered legend among Officials.Relationship Dynamic with Enzan
To Shiori, Enzan is her safe harbour - the one person for whom she does not have to perform maturity or maintain perfect composure. Around him she can let small cracks appear in her pristine facade: a softer tone of voice, a longer pause before answering, the rare unguarded glance when he enters a room. She quietly supports him in ways that feel almost invisible - preparing his favourite tea during long training nights, leaving a small beaded charm on his desk after a difficult mission, or simply sitting in silence beside him when words would only intrude. Her feelings show most clearly in battle, where Pulse.EXE syncs flawlessly with ProtoMan.EXE, their combined rhythm so seamless it borders on instinctive.Enzan sees Shiori as his true equal in both skill and maturity - someone who understands the weight of expectation, the cost of loss, and the necessity of control without ever needing him to explain it. He protects her fiercely, though he channels every instinct into what appears professional: stepping in front of her during a sudden virus surge, scanning the area before she steps outside, quietly ensuring her eyepatch is adjusted correctly after a long day. Rare, unguarded moments betray more - his fingers lingering a second too long when handing her an umbrella in falling snow, the way his gaze softens when she speaks of something small and personal, or the brief tightening of his jaw when another Official NetBattler stands too close to her during a briefing.Jealousy flickers subtly between them, never spoken. A prolonged strategy session with another partner, an overly familiar compliment from a colleague - each sparks a quiet tension they both recognise but never name. They deflect it with practised ease: a change of subject, a sharper focus on the mission, a shared look that says enough. Shuuseki occasionally observes their closeness and dismisses it as the natural extension of childhood bonds and shared discipline, never suspecting the depth beneath. External pressures - high-profile netbattles, corporate scrutiny, the constant demand for flawless performance - force them to keep everything hidden, layering restraint upon restraint until the silence itself becomes heavy.Yet the facade cannot hold forever. In quiet moments - late-night talks over strategy screens, walks through the perfectly pruned garden, the aftermath of a battle where one nearly lost the other - the truth presses closer. They are beginning to realise that denying their feelings may soon cost more than any scandal ever could.Relationship Dynamic with Shuuseki
Shuuseki treats Shiori with the same unyielding coldness and exacting standards he applies to Enzan - viewing her not as a grieving orphan but as a raw asset to be polished into perfection. As the largest shareholder in the Shimizu family's biometric Net tech firm (now restructured under IPC oversight), he seized full operational control after the lab explosion, merging their prototypes into IPC's portfolio. He grooms Shiori as the ideal heir to this legacy, demanding flawless performance in netbattling, Igo, and corporate strategy to prove her worthiness. Praise is rare and clinical, failures meet icy silence or pointed critiques. This mirrors his dynamic with Enzan, forging a shared pressure cooker in the Ijuuin household - Shiori feels constant gratitude laced with resentment, striving to embody his vision of untouched potential while hiding her vulnerabilities. Shuuseki notices her synergy with Enzan but interprets it as productive familial discipline, unknowingly fuelling their concealed romance.Relationship Dynamic with Netto
Early on, Shiori finds Netto's boundless energy overwhelming and exhausting - his loud enthusiasm, reckless charges into danger, and tendency to turn serious missions into group escapades clash sharply with her preference for quiet precision. She keeps her distance during joint operations, responding to his overtures with soft, minimal acknowledgments, while he sees her as unapproachable, like Enzan but with an eyepatch.Over time, however, mutual respect builds through shared battles. Netto comes to see her as Enzan's steadfast counterpart - but warmer and more reliable - grudgingly impressed by her unflappable strategies and Pulse.EXE's flawless support that covers his improvisational blind spots. Shiori, in turn, begins to secretly admire his unyielding optimism and carefree spirit; it offers a glimpse of the freedom she denies herself, a chaotic spark that even lightens Enzan's rare moods. She never voices this, deflecting his casual invitations to hang out with polite excuses, but internally savours the subtle thrill.Later, she harbours a quiet, platonic fondness for him - manifesting in understated ways, like lingering a moment longer after a victory to offer a faint nod of approval or ensuring Pulse.EXE prioritises MegaMan.EXE in team syncs. Netto senses the shift and starts treating her like an honorary member of his circle, yelling battle cheers her way without expecting a reply. Their dynamic remains asymmetrical: his warmth draws her out just enough to humanise her pristine facade, without ever shattering it.Relationship Dynamic with Dekao
Shiori views Dekao as a noisy distraction - his bombastic personality, endless boasts about GutsMan.EXE's raw power, and tendency to turn battles into spectacle clash with her precise style. They interact sparingly during group missions or tournaments, where she tolerates his interruptions with curt nods and minimal words. Dekao, oblivious to her aloofness, tries (and fails) to rope her into arm-wrestling or junk food challenges, respecting her skills grudgingly after she outmanoeuvres GutsMan.EXE in a demo. Over time she appreciates his unshakeable loyalty to friends but keeps interactions professional.Relationship Dynamic with Meiru
Shiori maintains a polite, surface-level acquaintance with Meiru, united by their shared netbattling poise and feminine Navis. Meiru's warmth draws initial wariness - Shiori deflects her friendly overtures - but secretly envies her effortless openness about feelings for Netto. Watching Meiru blush and confess indirectly (despite his obliviousness) stirs quiet longing in Shiori, a painful reminder of her own masked love for Enzan. This evolves into subtle respect during crises, where Meiru's determination shines; Shiori offers understated support, fostering a distant but genuine camaraderie.Relationship Dynamic with Yaito
Shiori and Yaito share a vague, wealth-fueled acquaintance from elite social circuits and corporate crossovers - Yaito's family (prominent in tech and aviation, with resources like private jets and vast estates) intersects with IPC through business dealings, making her a familiar face at formal events or SciLab collaborations. As a sharp, tech-savvy prodigy in Netto's circle, Yaito often provides gadgets, intel, or logistical support during group adventures, her Glide.EXE's refined butler services offering subtle utility in joint ops. Yaito chatters enthusiastically about inventions and high-society perks, which Shiori endures with soft hums of acknowledgment, finding her privileged energy less overwhelming than most due to their parallel upbringings. Yaito views Shiori as an enigmatic peer. Shiori appreciates Yaito's resourcefulness in crises but maintains emotional distance, leveraging their bond for occasional strategy insights - quietly admiring how Yaito blends her wealth with Netto's chaotic group without compromising her independence.Pulse.EXE
Calm, precise, and devoted - like Shiori's inner voice made digital. She speaks softly with medical precision, excels at analysis and quick adaptations. Around ProtoMan.EXE she turns adorably shy: digital blush, stammers, offers buffs unprompted. Loyal to Shiori, but envies Roll.EXE's closeness to MegaMan.EXE. Hates cluttered viruses.Pulse.EXE's Dynamic with ProtoMan.EXE
Pulse.EXE has a one-sided crush on ProtoMan.EXE. She admires his discipline and syncs attacks seamlessly. He responds with curt respect. In joint ops her fluster amuses Shiori privately.

Baldur's Gate 3

Name: Alexis Hartmann
Race: Human
Age: 25
Height: 164 cm
Hobbies: cooking, hiking
Speciality: alert
Hometown: Baldur's Gate
Class: Fighter
Background: Soldier
Melee Weapon: Greatsword
Ranged Weapon: LongbowSignificant Other: Halsin

Personality
Alexis is a dependable defender haunted by inner demons - an altruistic woman whose empathy draws the vulnerable and the lost to her like moths to a lantern. As a natural caregiver she prioritises life and restoration above all, preferring to solve conflicts through words rather than needless bloodshed. Her deeply romantic and loyal heart shines in her transparency with party members about her past and struggles. Yet beneath this heroic façade lurks a profound fear of mortality, abandonment, and lost trust, alongside a conflicted, thrill-seeking darkness. She revels in battle's chaos, an adrenaline junkie who channels her murderous urges into "justified" violence.Background
Alexis takes Tav/The Dark Urge's place in the Baldur's Gate 3 story.In Tav's place she tries to avoid fighting as much as she can, resolving a lot of situations through intimidation or persuasion. She also tries to help and save as many people and animals as possible.In The Dark Urge's place she tries her best to reject The Dark Urge and Sceleritas Fel as much as possible. She is open with her party about her urge except for the murder of Quil where she covered up what she did. Otherwise she enjoys battle and bloodshed a little too much.After the Netherbrain has been defeated Alexis stays in Baldur's Gate for ten days to help clean up and rebuild the city. After that she travels to Halsin. She and Halsin build a life together taking care of the orphans that Halsin took in. Until one day a child accidentally drowns. It makes Alexis realise that if things run their course she will die of old age long before Halsin does. She becomes obsessed with finding a way to extend her life in order to spend more time with Halsin. Her obsession starts to corrupt her.Either Halsin manages to undo the corruption, promising her that they will make every moment they have together matter. He tells her that ageing and dying is part of nature. That love is never lost, it is simply reborn in a new shape. And that he believes that even when she dies her soul will find its way back to him.Or Halsin becomes corrupted along with Alexis, and the two of them start to look for a way to live forever so that they can be together forever.Relationship Dynamic with Halsin
Alexis and Halsin are a fierce but tender partnership, yet they are grounded in their shared guardianship of the broken and the small. Their love is passionate and their intimacy raw and primal. Physical touch is second-nature to them and they'll often start to touch the other absent-mindedly as they spend their time together talking until the late hours of the night.In combat Alexis and Halsin fight like a rolling storm. One is the lightning, the other the thunder that follows. Alexis barrels forward like a battering ram and Halsin follows close behind, controlling space and pulling enemies into her reach. She trusts him to watch the angles she can't, and he trusts her to end anything that gets past his roots and teeth. Side by side they feel less like two people fighting and more like an unstoppable act of nature that has decided you do not get to hurt what's theirs.Between battles Halsin will heal Alexis without ceremony as she leans her back against his broad chest. The gentlest touch from him quiets her faster than any sermon, and the softest word from her can pull him back from the edge of his own wild fury. They are mercy and might braided so tightly that no one can tell which one is holding the other together.

Boku no Hero Academia

Name: Ayano Hayashi - 林 綾野
Height: 164 cm
Hobbies: baking, dancing
Speciality: acrobatics
Affiliation: U.A. High School (Class: 1-A)
Hero Name: Warfarin
Quirk: Blood Manipulation
Fighting Style: Melee + ranged combatSignificant Others:
Katsuki Bakugou
Shoto Todoroki

Background
When she was young, Ayano was very close to and adored her parents. But while she was in middle school her mother died and her father buried himself in work in order to escape the pain of losing his wife. She essentially lost both of her parents at the same time and neither relatives nor friends tried to help her deal with her grief. In order to save her sanity she had to let go of her love for her parents and her faith in other people.Something broke inside her. She could no longer feel anything but emptiness. For a long time she was just running on auto-pilot. That is until the day she had a brush with danger during a villain attack and had to fight to defend herself. The encounter gave her a rush of emotions and she felt her heart beat in a way it hadn't in years. She made the decision to become a pro hero in order to continue fighting but with the law on her side.After being accepted into U.A. High School and bonding with her new classmates she started to experience emotions occasionally. And thanks to Katsuki and Shoto there is hope that she will one day be a normal girl again.Quirk Details
Ayano's father's quirk is Blood Manipulation. He is able to shape, solidify, harden, sharpen, spray, and shoot his blood. However, he cannot rapidly create blood and so he refrains from using his ability since regular bloodletting is very unpleasant and can become a danger to his health.
Ayano's mother's quirk was Healing Blood. She had the ability to heal other people's injuries with her blood though blood transfusions.Ayano's quirk is a complicated one. Ayano has her father's Blood Manipulation but her mother's quirk has manifested in a strange way. Perhaps it's due to the combination of two blood-related quirks and the fact that quirks get more powerful with each generation, but Ayano has the ability to rapidly regenerate any injuries she sustains without leaving any scars. She cannot use her blood to heal others like her mother used to, but in exchange she can regenerate nerves, lost limbs, and internal organs completely.Hero Profile
Fighting style: Melee and ranged combat. She draws her own blood and then she shapes and sharpens it into a blade that she fights with. She displays graceful swordsmanship, defending herself by swinging her blade around her body while cutting through enemy attacks. She uses her acrobatic abilities to quickly close the gap between her and her opponent. For mid-range attacks she swings her blade to shoot bullets of blood. If needed she can use her blood to shield herself as well as trap her opponents in a prison of blood.Strengths: Her Blood Manipulation uses up her blood but she rapidly regenerates more. She has excellent reflexes, speed and agility. She is highly resistant to pain.Limitations: Her regenerative ability is fuelled by her energy. When she runs out of energy she faints and her body becomes unable to regenerate. She needs a lot of nourishment and often takes vitamins and other health supplements. She has no way of controlling her regenerative ability. She is not in control of which order wounds get healed nor can she prevent the healing of any wounds in order to preserve her energy.Equipment: She wears a ring that hides a small blade. This allows her to swiftly draw her own blood.Stats

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones

Name: Inara, Allana
Height: 164 cm
Hobbies: herbal brewing
Speciality: healing magic
Affiliation: Jehanna, Frelia
Class: Mage, Sage
Melee Weapon: Dagger
Ranged Weapon: Tome
Family: Ismaire (mother), Joshua (half-brother)Significant Other: Innes

Personality
Inara - known to her closest allies as Allana - is a woman of quiet depths and measured grace. Scholarly and keenly observant, she notices what others miss: a tremor in a voice, a false note in a spy's story, the exact herb that will calm a racing heart. Her movements are measured, her speech is thoughtful, and her wit dry and precise. Beneath her royal poise lies profound empathy; she heals bodies with light magic and minds with herbal teas or perfumes crafted to lift weary spirits. She contemplates identity, fate, and the cost of magic, yet ultimately believes loyalty outweighs any title.Background
Pre-Amnesia: In the sun-scorched halls of Jehanna, Inara - illegitimate daughter of Queen Ismaire and a Raustenian court scholar - lived as a palace scribe, her royal blood concealed even from most of the court. Remote and self-contained, she moved like a shadow: face dignified and unreadable, words few and perfectly weighed. She only interacted with her mother Ismaire behind closed doors, and only offered her half-brother Joshua polite but curt exchanges - he knew her merely as a distant cousin. Solitude was her refuge; silence, her armour.Amnesiac "Allana": Her life unravelled when she uncovered a spy from Grado and confronted him in the Lagdou Ruins. In the confrontation she took a curse-tainted blast that turned her red hair white and stole her memories. Half-mad with pain, she could do nothing else but flee. She collapsed in Frelia's border forests where Innes eventually found her. Innes dubbed her Allana, and under that name she followed him into war. Joshua never recognised her, but his gaze did linger on her as he wondered why she seemed so familiar to him. Allana was grateful to Innes for rescuing her, but her amnesia left her timid and disoriented. She became soft-spoken and as she questioned her purpose she relied on her combat prowess and healing magic to prove her worth. She was withdrawn at first and built trust slowly, but through her resilience and appreciation for simple joys like the campfire's warmth on chilly nights, hearty meals, and nature's fleeting beauty she slowly built her confidence while her endless patience became the gentle, steady force that wore down Innes tsundere walls.Post-Amnesia: In Jehanna Hall her memories are restored, revealing her heritage as Ismaire's daughter and Joshua's half-sister. She choses to keep the name Allana - a gift from the man she would marry after the war and an affectionate nickname for loved ones to call her by. With Joshua, cool distance melted into true sibling warmth laced with teasing banter. Her dry humour sharpened, her playful side emerged, and the poised scholar-healer found her place in the world - at Innes side.Relationship Dynamic with Innes
Innes is a tsundere, arrogant, and terrified of looking weak. Allana handles him perfectly. She meets his sarcasm with dry, precise comebacks that shut him down without starting a fight, and her patience lets his defenses wear themselves out instead of forcing them down. She gives him exactly what he needs but packages it so he can accept it: a cup of tea left without comment, a healing spell cast before he has to ask, praise for his skill delivered as simple observation rather than flattery. Because she never pities him or demands he change, he can relax around her without feeling he's lost face. In return, his fierce protectiveness gives her security, and over time their constant banter shifts from wary tension to genuine partnership. By the time they marry, she's the only person he fully trusts, and he's the one who makes her feel safe enough to drop her own walls.How Allana fulfils Innes' needs
He's arrogant and hyper-competitive, she won't be intimidated or bullied.
He's an emotionally constipated tsundere, she's patient and observant and will deliver what he needs without needing him to ask.
He's a perfectionist workaholic, she respects his duty but forces him to rest.
He's insecure under the pride, she sees the insecurity but never pities him.
He hates feeling indebted or vulnerable, she makes caring for him feel like strategy, not charity.
He's secretly romantic but would die before admitting it, she notices and treasures the tiny gestures he thinks no one sees.How Innes fulfils Allana's needs
She spends her life supporting others and rarely asks for help, he notices when she's pushing herself too hard and removes the burden.
She needs protection that she would never request, he is possessive and hyper-protective.
She carries guilt and fear that her illegitimacy makes her "less than", he's obsessed with merit over blood.
She overthinks identity, fate, and her own worth, he's brutally pragmatic.
She is occasionally sharp, he thrives on verbal sparring and is amused by her dry wit.
She is slow to trust, slow to open up, he is just as guarded so the two of them understand silence and small gestures are their love language.

Persona 3

Name: Ayano Hayashi
Height: 164 cm
Hobbies: reading, writing
Speciality: speaking English
Affiliation: SEES
School: Gekkoukan High School (3rd year)
Club: Volleyball
Weapon: Scythe
Arcana: Lust
Personas: Soror Ignis, Santa TeresaSignificant Other: Shinjiro Aragaki
Alterous Other: Akihiko Sanada

Personality
Ayano is an observant and deeply introspective young woman - quiet and calm on the surface, with a persistent drive that reveals her obsessive nature as a lover, sometimes bordering on stalker-like fixation. She's an avid animal lover who appreciates homemaking skills like cooking (though she's far better at cleaning) and secretly shoots down rumours about her SEES teammates. Empathic, supportive, and intuitive, she senses others' pain and offers subtle, unwavering aid. However, she's plagued by jealousy over Shinjiro and Akihiko's close bond, often putting herself at risk in Tartarus to shield Shinjiro.Post-October 4, 2009 (Shinjiro's Death): Ayano sinks into profound depression, haunted by guilt for failing to save him and her own interrupted suicide attempt. Numb and detached, she dissociates frequently - eating and sleeping poorly, crying unpredictably, and losing all interest in her hobbies. She zones out during Tartarus missions, endangering herself and the team, and stares blankly at Shinjiro's old haunts in the dorm. With SEES' intervention, glimmers of her personality return by January 2010, but full recovery doesn't come until 2011.Background
Ayano awakened her Persona in 2007 and joined SEES shortly after, moving into Iwatodai Dorm without complaint - her parents were perpetually absent due to work. She quickly bonded with Akihiko, Shinjiro, and Mitsuru. Following Shinjiro's departure after the tragic October 4, 2007 incident (where his out-of-control Persona killed Ken Amada's mother), Ayano sought him out relentlessly in her free time. Though he gruffly warned her not to "waste her time on a screw-up like him," her calm, persistent presence became a quiet constant in his isolated life.When Minato Arisato became SEES leader in April 2009 and Shinjiro re-joined their connection deepened into romance. Shinjiro, torn between his self-loathing and genuine desire to be with her, found solace in her acceptance.Shinjiro's sacrificial death on October 4, 2009, shattered Ayano. Overwhelmed by grief, she attempted suicide by jumping from Gekkoukan's roof but was stopped when Akihiko blocked the door. She broke down completely, but his words convinced her to live - for now. The void persisted, fuelling her depression.By late October, Mitsuru recognizes Ayano's unfitness for battle and urges Akihiko to intervene. He offers steady emotional support, and she latches onto him desperately. By December, she's functional in combat - able to fight without endangering others - but requires direct orders and shows no initiative. She remains mute, mechanical, low-energy, and disinterested in hobbies. She becomes needy and jealous when Akihiko prioritizes SEES. Akihiko sets firm boundaries, while the full team's bonds help her process her loss. On December 31, inspired by their resolve, Ayano vows to fight Nyx despite the odds.In January, recovery stirs: She dips into hobbies again, initiates small talk, laughs faintly, and takes proactive roles in battle. By March, genuine smiles return. Post-graduation, Akihiko proposes, confessing his love and offering to "take responsibility in Shinjiro's stead" - whether her feelings are romantic or platonic. She accepts, and they marry quietly. Over time, Ayano realizes she can't imagine life without him.Relationship Dynamic with Shinjiro
Ayano's bond with Shinjiro is a slow-burning fusion of her obsessive persistence and his tsundere walls, built on quiet understanding and shared vulnerabilities. From 2007 onward, she "stalks" him gently - appearing in back alleys or near stray cats he feeds, offering silent company or cleaning his messy hideouts without a word. He grumbles ("Tch, you're wastin' your time, kid"), pushing her away out of guilt over his past and looming death via suppressants, but her calm empathy erodes his defences. She sees through his tough act to the "big brother" worrier beneath, praising his cooking, and defending him fiercely against rumours, which flusters him into tsundere blushes.Their romance ignites in 2009 upon his SEES return: Dates involve Shinjiro teaching Ayano how to cook, Ayano translating English cookbooks to Shinjiro, the two of them going to the library, arcade, movie theatre or shrine, feeding stray cats, picnics by the sea, and stargazing. In Tartarus she obsessively tanks hits for him, prompting his protective scolding. Her jealousy of his and Akihiko's bond simmers unspoken - she risks herself more recklessly to "prove" her place - but he soothes it with rare vulnerability, like sharing orphanage stories or giving her gifts. Shinjiro craves her forgiveness for his sins, finding purpose in her loyalty; she thrives on his stability, learning basic recipes from him and channelling obsession into nurturing gestures like bandaging his wounds post-battle.Torn by self-sacrifice, he confesses his love for her. Their dynamic is tender domesticity amid tragedy - he's the "male wife" spoiling her with meals and dog walks (Koromaru approves), while she gives him redemption through unwavering presence. His death leaves her obsessed with his memory, but it evolves into honouring his wish to "live without regrets."Relationship Dynamic with Akihiko
Akihiko first notices Ayano romantically in 2007, evolving from big-brother protectiveness to quiet admiration for her resilience and independence. Her empathy and patience make him feel safe to open up about Miki's death, while her nurturing stability grounds his intensity. He realises his feelings are romantic but buries them for SEES duties and training.When Shinjiro re-joins in 2009, Akihiko steps back loyally, masking jealousy with brutal workouts and withdrawal around her - respecting his friend's rare chance at happiness. Shinjiro's death devastates him; vowing to honour it by protecting Ken and the team, he's initially supportive when Ayano latches on post-suicide attempt. But his suppressed emotions resurface, sparking conflict: Guilt over "betraying" Shinjiro, confusion over whether her attachment is genuine or grief-fuelled, fear of exploiting her vulnerability, and his own sorrow.He sets clear boundaries - training sessions for catharsis, not dependency - while their mutual growth heals them. She challenges his emotional walls; he provides structure. Post-graduation, he proposes earnestly - aware that Ayano might not harbour the same feelings for him - and vows to care for her in Shinjiro's stead. They marry simply, and over time Ayano's feelings deepen into inseparable partnership - she can't envision life without his steady strength.

Personality
Obsessive yet fiercely loyal, Ayano is playful and affectionate with the people she lets in (especially Akira), but guarded and calculating toward everyone else. Beneath the teasing smiles and mischievous pranks lies a passionate, resilient girl with iron-clad morals and razor-sharp intellect. Once she decides someone is hers, she protects them with the same intensity she uses to hunt enemies.Background
Ayano has lived alone in a tiny, ageing 1K condo in Koenji since middle school. Her mother passed away when she was very young, and her father is a long-haul trucker who is home maybe two weeks a year. A distant aunt in Nagoya is her legal guardian on paper - she signs documents and wires allowance money, then disappears again. No adult has ever truly watched over her.The Incident (First Year at Shujin)
During her first year, a popular third-year volleyball senpai heard she lived alone and assumed the worst. When she coldly rejected his crude advance, his pride took a hit. In revenge, he took innocent photos from her social media and a school beach trip, crudely edited them into explicit fakes, and posted them to a seniors' LINE group. Within days the images had spread across the entire school.Her father was on the opposite end of Japan, her aunt refused to get involved, and the teachers - more concerned with the school's reputation - lectured Ayano about "not taking risky photos in the first place." The boy graduated untouched. The pictures eventually stopped circulating actively, but the whispers never did. Overnight, Ayano became "that girl," isolated and untouchable.Meeting Akira
When Akira Kurusu - the rumoured "criminal transfer student" - was placed directly in front of her in 2-D, Ayano recognised the same unfair branding she carried. Instead of believing the rumours, she decided to watch him herself. Slowly but steadily her quiet observation turned into fascination, then full-blown obsession. With Ann, Akira, and Ayano lined up in the same row, half the class joked that "that side of the room is bad news." Ayano didn't mind; it gave her the perfect cover to study every small movement he made. She began following him after school, learning his routines, his kindness, his quiet defiance. The more she discovered, the deeper she fell.Awakening (April 13, Kamoshida's Palace)
During the volleyball rally investigation, Ayano silently tailed Akira and Ryuji. When the three of them (plus Morgana) were pulled into the Metaverse that evening, shadows quickly overwhelmed her. Captive in the castle dungeon, her own Shadow mocked her as a worthless slut with no future, urging her to submit to the king. Instead, she tore off her mask. Cleopatra manifested, and Ace was born. The next day Morgana officially welcomed her into the fledgling Phantom Thieves and Akira gained the Lust Confidant. Once Ann joined she was happy to already have another girl on the team. Joker, Skull, Mona, and Panther formed the main combat line-up in Kamoshida's palace. Ace operated as the team's shadow by scouting ahead, picking locks, disarming traps, and delivering precise follow-up strikes when the enemy least expected it. Her codename is literal: she is the card they keep hidden until the perfect moment.After Kamoshida had been dealt with Ayano confided in Akira about her own personal demons. She told him about the rumours surrounding her and how they started. She admitted that her senpai was a lot like Kamoshida so even if she wasn't personally victimised by Kamoshida in the same way that Ryuji, Ann, and Shiho were their fight was still very personal to her.The Senpai, One Year Later
Months after Kamoshida's confession, while on a date with Akira the old senpai reappears - now a listless 20-year-old alumnus. He corners Ayano, sneering, and when Akira steps in he tries to poison Akira against her by accusing her of being damaged goods. Akira shuts him down in a heartbeat and that night the two of them decide the creep's heart needs stealing.A tense two-person infiltration of the senpai's tiny Mementos distortion ends with the Treasure in hand. Days later the broken man appears at Leblanc, soaked from rain, and looking like he hasn't slept in days. Forehead pressed to the floor he confesses everything, deletes the images of her from his phone, and swears to spend his life making amends. Ayano refuses forgiveness but finally feels the weight lift from her shoulders. With Akira's quiet support, the senpai turns himself in under Japan's revenge-porn law, hands over chat logs, and begins the long, humiliating process of takedowns and public apologies. The whispers at school slowly die.Final Liberation (August)
When Futaba joins the Thieves, she takes one look at Ayano's lingering pain and declares that they only need to leave the rest to her. In a single sleepless 48-hour session, Futaba erases every last trace - server records, private devices, buried forum threads - until even reverse-image searches returns nothing. And for the first time in over a year, Ayano can finally breathe. That night she curls into Akira's arms in the Leblanc attic and whispers, "You didn't just steal his heart... you gave me mine back."From that moment on, the girl who once watched him from the shadows now walks proudly at his side - no chains, no rumours, only the future the two of them choose together.Relationship Dynamic with Akira
Possessive stalker energy meets unshakable calm. Ayano clings, teases, and marks her territory with playful bites. Akira responds with smirks, gentle head-pats, and the occasional counter-prank that leaves her flustered. Their love language is shared secrets, physical touch, and perfectly synchronized All-Out Attacks. She is his hidden ace; he is the only person who ever saw the real her and decided she was worth protecting.
