Aimi's childhood was filled with strife and sadness, her mother having munchhausen by proxy and constantly starving her; keeping her isolated from the rest of the world and her family. Aimi suffered multiple abuses at her hands by way of being given medication she did not need, her mother convincing the family head to allow her to build a medical room within' her home where Aimi was constantly kept in the literal dark. With the help of her cousin, Ren and father who wanted to protect her, they gave her to a 2nd cousin when she turned 8 and she finally escaped her mother and the Sakurano Estate. From then on she lived a happy, almost fairy-tale like life with Toya Sakurano until the age of 12 and abruptly left due to feeling like she was an inconvenience to his life.
Aimi met Kagami Izue when the tiny girl was hiding from the rain underneath a bus stop. Offering her his umbrella and jacket, she convinced him that she was waiting for someone-- not wanting to be an inconvenience to someone else. When he returned even later that night and saw that she lied, he insisted and eventually brought her home with him. It was on that fateful day that she met her best friend and adoptive brother, Hoshiko Harukawa. The boy she would become inseparable with.
The Present
Currently Aimi lives in the apartment complex that's owned by Hoshiko after they left Kagami's care due to a tragic incident. They started out alone and have steadily built a found family, inviting them to the once empty complex. Aimi is now in a polyamorous relationship with Shinji Tatemono, Matsu Kusagare and the former "enemy", Sunni. After many complications and set-backs, they've settled into a lifestyle that works for them all. When her relationship with Matsu reignited and hit it off, she ended up moving out of her longtime apartment and into Matsu's instead. Thanks to her ever-helpful and apartment-planning savvy best friend, they expanded the singular apartment multiple times to fit their growing found family of; Hibiki Tatemono, Shizuka Tatemono, Kiku Kusagare, Miyu Sakurano and Aura Kusagare. As well as Aimi and Sunni's future child Umiko.
Although they continue to go through many different trials and tribulations, their family continues to grow and their love for one another proven again and again.
Goddess Aphrodite
It wasn't until Aimi was 22 ( current storyline age ) that she came to learn that a Goddess resided within' her. She is the reincarnation of the Goddess of love, Aphrodite. However, due to Aimi's extreme abuse and constant fading life especially in her youth, she was almost given up by the Goddess but eventually impressed her enough for her to truly bless Aimi. Aimi's alluring abilities which comforts others are due to her lean into love, sensuality, and seduction. It's why she may gain the attention of unsavory onions and snakes.
Aphrodite's abilities
♡ Invisibility - This is one of her leading abilities now that Aimi has learned to hone. She can go completely invisible, leaving no trace of her energy or presence. It was mainly used to escape would-be suitors but it became a boon for Aimi as she enjoys sneaking off, even though she shouldn't.
♡ Seduction/Love/Sensuality - Aphrodite has the ability to make anyone she wishes fall in love with her or anyone else she chooses. She has the ability to grant this ability ( by way of a gold magical artifact she possesses, decorated intricately with heart-shaped rose quartz ) to others temporarily as well, giving people deeply in love a fair chance. ( aside from members of the LGBT+ she would not force them to betray their true selves, instead they usually worship her.)
♡ Gentle death - She has the ability to give someone a gentle guidance to the end of their lives, using her magic to ease the pain and cause them to pass in a gentle slumblr filled with dreams of their happiest moments. ( This is unless you're her enemy, of course. )
♡ Love boost - With her music ( violin ) and dance, she's able to give other deities a boost in their own abilities, enchanting any artifacts they may have.
♡ Sparkled illusions - With the use of her bracelet ( gift from Ra ) as a catalyst, Aphrodite can create random objects with a strong resemblance to her sparkle/glitter-like pink-aura. ( amethyst-colored when Aimidite ) These objects can be used as whatever their original functionality would be, however Aimi would be in complete control of it.
♡ More to come/b> - Thinking of more!~
