DETAILED PERSONALITY.
- At the beginning of her story, Aika is a very aimless, unmotivated kind of person! She's not a pushover so much as she wants to appease anyone, but because it is easy and she is a coward. All she asks in life is to be left alone in her room where she can refresh for updates on her yaoi mangas and kawaii blogs. Also, eating sweets.
- SHE'S SO LAZY SO LAZY. SO LAZY...
- AS SUCH, Aika doesn't have any friends; the only social interaction she receives is from her rather extroverted family and maybe classmates that ask her about last night's homework assignment! She's not bullied! But!! She's ALMOST ALWAYS a bystander too afraid to act, and too unmotivated and distracted to feel badly about her inability to act.
- Aika is at a point in her life where she's gotten comfortable with her reclusiveness.... Having never had any emotional burden/strain and also internet access, it's been pretty swell...! THEN. Suddenly she realizes she has the ability to NOT ONLY see people's speech bubbles, but the red strings of fate that invariably tie people together. She realizes her string is tied to the prince of her school and everytime the string snags, her heart doki dokis.
- She lapses between being okay with this and being conscious enough to be TERRIFIED.
- HER CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT IS SET INTO MOTION WHEN AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF AVOIDANCE she finds that the new TRANSFER STUDENT BAD BOY KITAKAMI-SAN/KAMI-KUN can see the strings and directly cut them! she seeks him out in order to cut her strings so she can continue to be a recluse!
- He runs. She chases! (IT'S MORE DETAILED IN THE PAST)
- BECAUSE I AM CAE AND I LOVE… HEROES. She begins to actively partake in the lives of others (Adams and Eves) along the way across the (shoujo) universe. AND DURING THAT JOURNEY, she gains the belief that <FATED LOVE> isn’t true love! And that one must take their destinies into their OWN hands in order to be and feel truly human.
- So it goes from wanting to cut her one string and live the way she wants to live, to wanting to revolutionize the world and cut everyone else’s. IN OTHER WORDS, she wants to grant not only herself but others the will to choose who they love.... if they even want to love at all.
- SO. Reclusive cowardly hikikomori turned withdrawn and hesitant runaway turned emotionally realized and quietly heroic Lucifer-archetype! YEAUP.
- she develops the ability to manipulate (her own) sound effects and word bubbles and speedlines and panelling among other shoujo mangas novelties! the ability is amplified with confidence and courage WHICH AIKA HAS YET TO DEVELOP.
- oh yeah she's totally getting magical girl transformations.
- lots of them
- omfg.
- LOL HER FAMILY.
- Her mom is a josei-archetype, very hardworking and extroverted and cut throat and a businesswoman with whom Aika mostly interacts via phonecalls. Her dad is a seinen-archetype; he's very manly! And, Aika's older brother is a shonen-archetype; he's gutsy and loves violence LMAO.
- Technically speaking, she's closest with her brother who also loves animu. He actually got her that bag she loves so much as it was a part of a package deal giveaway from his favourite survival zombie animu.
- But, overall, she finds as many opportunities to sit in her room ALONE to SLEEP and EAT CAKE ALONE and watch YAOIS/SHONEN-AIs and COLLECT CUTE PICTURES OF FAT ANIMALS ALONE to store on her BEDAZZLED LAPTOP....ALONE When her string 'activates' so to speak, her reclusiveness/avoidance reaches its peak.
- Her string is attached to the prince of her school. He hadn’t noticed her before, but as the string that connects them gradually shortens, he becomes more interested. W-WEH!
- Sometime during the year, a transfer student named Kitakami comes in! He is very hot! Very ridiculously bishonen hot??!?!?? LIKE YUU WATASE “BABBY”… TERRIBLE…. HOT…..
- Except, he's basically GOD/A METAPHYSICAL BEING . WITH THE ABILITY TO TRANSFORM INTO ANYONE’S HEART’S DESIRE. his default is japanese school boy BECAUSE I SAID SO. He appears here and there, but he likes schools the best because young girls (and boys) are foolish and vulnerable creatures (AHAHAHHAHA…)
- He too can see strings! And touch them…?!?!? Should he pull one three times (“I” “LOVE” “YOU”/ “DAI” “SU” “KI”), he can make people fall in love with him/pledge themselves to him like the Judeo-Christian God.
- And he can cut them… HE USES IT FOR EVIL BECAUSE GOD IS A DICKBAG IN THE STORY. AND BY THAT I MEAN he cuts people’s strings, makes one (or both parties) fall for him, then after he’s strung them along DUMPS THEIR SHIT.
- Aika decides to chase him and try to convince him to *~*cut her string*~*. So, it’s like in a shojo manga wherein the heroine gets in over her head chasing after THE BAD BOY and the GOOD BOY is just THERE being BORING.
- Except there’s like mindfuckery with dimension and time hopping and reality blurring and Paradise Lost parallels yes.
- Lots of that.
RELATIONSHIPS.
- PRINCE: They are *~*meant*~ to be each other's shallow love interest. The Prince is the perfect Adam in every way, almost creepily understanding and accepting. He's nothing more than a very kind person with a very pretty face.
- Sonako: Aika's female rival. She was created by Kitakami-kun to be Aika's rival in love. However, she begins to gain sentience, leaving Kitakami's side and joining Aika's. She becomes the Dark Magical Girl to Aika's Sweet Magical Girl; the older sister and Aika's very first best friend! She is covered in string and Aika wonders where hers leads...
SPOILURS: Aika and SONAKO go after Kitakami! Kitakami takes a hold of Sonako's string and Aika believes she will lose her first and only friend. She cries and tries to save her best friend, but it's even worse than she believes. When Kitakami pulls on SONAKO'S string, her entire being becomes unwound like a cheap red sweater. Aika tries to put her back together but ends up tangled in the STUFF SHE HATES MOST IN THE UNIVERSE. It isn't clear what part of SONAKO was FABRICated and what was not, just an implication that Kitakami might've planned this heart break all along.
Aika begins to wonder if it's too late for her to have friends and if she was even worthy in the first place. She also wonders that.... given this knowledge, should she even miss her friend? WHAT PART OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP WAS REAL. WHAT WAS FAKE....? - KITAKAMI: The God to her Lucifer, the BAD BOY of the shoujo love triangle etc etc! He's basically this dickbag that enjoys teasing Aika-- But, as she gains power in her ability to speak and bend dimensions, he begins to WORRY.
- Tadami: Her childhood friend!
Who she is greatly and fiercely protective of after the events of Sonako's arc. She only brings him along because he insists.... and keeps him with her because his heart acts as a compass to Kitakami. She tries to keep him in the dark with regard to his "true purpose"-- but LOL TADAMI FIGURES IT OUT. HE'S JUST TOO NICE TO SAY ANYTHING... AND WANTS TO BE USEFUL... AND FEELS BAD FOR BEING IN LOVE WITH KITA....
Aika insists that Tadami only act if it's absolutely necessary!
- Aika's taste in animu is really questionable I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT HA HA HA
- Aika herself represents Lucifer. One could call her Satan (which means Adversary in Hebrew). The reason why her spirit animal is PIG is because BEELZEBUB/LORD OF THE FLIES reference! The cutting of strings represents her wish to BEQUEATH KNOWLEDGE AND WILL onto the relatively dull and controlled EDEN that is the SHOUJO UNIVERSE. She uses words to fight because that's how Lucifer "tempts" people; it's never through any physical means, usually it's all persuasion based.
- IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT ALL MY HEROES/HEROINES TEND TO BE ATHLETIC/PHYSICALLY STRONG. AND DETERMINED. So, I decided to challenge myself by creating a kind of sympathetic albeit deeply flawed, slothful girl LOL.
- OH YEAH I'VE BEEN. SEEING. MANY PINK HAIRED JESUS/GOD GIRLS (momoka from penguindrum, madoka from madoka magica, utena from revogirl utena) and i wanted to counteract --
- YEAH. I LOVE HER DESIGN A LOT MY AIKA BB.
