Appearance
Aira is a young woman with short light pink hair that mostly frames the left side of her face and dark pink eyes. The boys at her school find her very attractive, something she is fully aware of and quite proud of.
Her usual outfit is her school uniform: a dark buttoned blazer with the school emblem on the left side of the chest, a collared shirt, a ribbon tie, a short dark skirt, high socks, and sandals. She also wears a long-sleeved sweater that varies under her blazer.
Personality
At first, Aira enjoyed her social status as a popular girl at Kami High and went out of her way to maintain her reputation. On the surface, she appeared sweet, innocent, and a bit airheaded. However, deep down, she was vain, arrogant, and insensitive. Her beauty became a tool to tease her male classmates, whom she looked down on, easily seducing them with her looks. She didn’t hesitate to act cruelly when provoked, even going so far as to anonymously spread a nasty rumor about Momo after the latter used her powers to drop a bathtub on Aira’s head in retaliation for mocking Okarun.
Upon discovering Okarun’s kintama, Aira developed a messiah complex: her newfound ability to see spirits, triggered by the golden ball, was to her a divine sign that she was the chosen one destined to protect the world from evil. This delusion was amplified by her vanity, as she believed her beauty was one of the main reasons she had been chosen. She labeled Momo as a demon and an enemy after witnessing the manifestation of her psychic powers, which she called "demon wings." Aira then set out on a mission to defeat Momo. However, this side of her faded quickly after the Evil Eye merged with Jiji.
Despite her arrogance and ruthlessness, Aira is capable of guilt. Overwhelmed by remorse for spreading the nasty rumor about Momo — a lie that led their classmates to believe Momo had humiliated Aira by exposing her in her underwear at school — Aira confessed to her shameful actions, clearing Momo’s name at the cost of her own popularity. She also sincerely apologized to Momo for endangering her with the Evil Eye after she accidentally spilled her cold drink on Jiji. The memory of this incident even drove her to continue fighting against the giants summoned by the Music Room Portraits.
Aira is also capable of empathy and compassion toward others. Even after nearly dying when she was swallowed by Acrobatic Silky, Aira felt pity for the yokai upon learning from Turbo Granny that she would be forgotten by both the living and the dead once her body was destroyed without her aura. Aira ensured Silky’s ascent to Nirvana by kissing her and acknowledging her as her mother. She also vowed to always remember her and sincerely wished for Silky and her child to find peace together in the afterlife. After seeing Bamora’s memories and understanding the alien’s suffering at the hands of the Kur, Aira was moved to tears and swore to defeat the exoskeletal aliens in Bamora’s honor.
After losing her popularity at school, Aira let go of her public image. Once she became part of Momo and Okarun’s social circle, she became much more open about her true nature—marked by pride, severity, and a tendency to be disdainful. She quickly established herself as the de facto leader of the group and strongly disliked being excluded from their activities or being protected by others. In this self-appointed leadership role, she is the most suspicious of outsiders joining the “Family,” often barking that new members must earn her approval first. She also speaks bluntly when expressing her views, such as when she called out the unfairness of her, Momo, Okarun, and Seiko continuing to monitor Jiji after he chose to spare the Evil Eye from exorcism. She has also been harsh toward Momo, Jiji, and Mr. Shrimp-Mantis due to their poor performance during training. Despite this, Aira deeply cares for them not only as comrades but also as close friends.
Though usually serious, Aira has playful and mischievous moments. She considered visiting Moe Moe Kikoho to tease Momo after hearing from Jiji that she worked there as a maid, and she mocked Momo and Jiji for sleeping too close to each other. She also has a soft spot for things she finds cute. Although she disapproved of Mr. Shrimp-Mantis returning to Kamigoe City to become a resident, she changed her mind immediately after meeting Chiquitita, finding the creature adorable and fun to cuddle and play with. She was also charmed by Momo’s small size, feeling an urge to play with her like a doll.
Moved by Okarun’s selfless nature especially when he came to her aid during her encounter with Acrobatic Silky Aira developed a crush on him, which she doesn’t hide. Her behavior toward Okarun is noticeably kinder and more affectionate than with her other classmates, and she often finds herself blushing or giddy in his presence. Aira is willing to support Okarun in any way she can, convinced that a girl who upholds a man’s virtue deserves to be his partner. She also displays signs of jealousy, as both she and Momo tried to keep Bamora away from Okarun after she got too close, reprimanding her for addressing him so casually. Aira admits she doesn’t know how to handle her romantic feelings, having never felt this way about anyone before. In her confusion, she turned to her father's “books” for guidance, which ultimately led her to impulsively try to kiss Okarun.
Aira is also modest, often making sure her skirt doesn’t expose her underwear during battles. Additionally, she dislikes it when her clothes—especially her school uniform—get damaged in combat.
Background
As a young girl, Aira once crossed paths with a strange woman in red whom she mistook for her deceased mother. Realizing her mistake, she continued on with her father, unaware that the mysterious woman would go on to follow her for the rest of her life.
