Character

Aya is a very gentle and friendly person, enjoying the company of everybody that she meets. She loves to be in the center of the action, and having fun with everybody. She smiles and laughs a lot, and likes it when other people smile and laugh too. That's one of the reasons she became an idol; she wanted to make everybody happy with her singing and dancing.

However, in private, Aya rarely smiles, and always wears a solemn expression. She's a lonely and sad person, and desires true friends more than anything else in the world, not just people who like her because of her status as an idol. She wants people she can talk to and laugh with, and friends that don't care if there are some days where she feels sad.

Due to her sheltered upbringing, Aya is a little bit naive when it comes to the outside world. She doesn't always understand how some things work, and so she can be easily surprised over small things that aren't as big of a deal to other people.

Backstory

Aya grew up in a very strict environment. Her parents expected her to excel at whatever it was that she did, including her grades in school, after school activities, and anything else. Aya was never allowed to fail, or have her own opinions or feelings. If she wasn't perfect, she'd be punished. In what ways, she'd never say. All she would is that it left her with a very deep grudge against her parents for never allowing her to be who she wanted to be.

Once Aya was old enough to leave, she left, bunking with her closest friend, Goswin, while she finished school. Afterwards, she decided to pursue one of her life's passions, which was dancing and singing (something she practiced in secret, of course); she wanted to be an idol. She invited her friend Goswin to join with her, and they became a duo. Aya quickly found out however that being an idol wasn't quite how she dreamed it up to be. Her manager was particularly strict, similar to how her parents had been, and insisted that Aya not show any emotions other than happiness, so that she always had a pleasant atmosphere for her fans. While Aya didn't particularly mind it too much, as she was a naturally upbeat and bubbly person when in public, some days were hard. Some days she felt sad or discouraged, and just wanted to curl up in a ball and cry, but she wasn't allowed to, otherwise she'd receive a very strict talking to from her manager.

On one of her days off, Aya was taking a stroll in the nearby forest to clear her thoughts, when she ran into the rather strange being named Tacitus. He had a bizarre way of speech, and had an almost otherworldly aura, but he seemed nice enough, and something about him kept luring Aya back. She went back often, with each time, her heart feeling lighter and lighter. Aya felt like he was somebody she could trust.

On one day in particular, Aya realized that the reason her heart felt so light is because she'd fallen in love with him, and as soon as the realization hit, she broke down sobbing in front of the poor taur, who'd never witnessed her cry before. Once she calmed down enough, she explained to him how she felt, and that she'd fallen in love with him. Tacitus thanked her, but explained to her that he'd need some time to think about his response. Aya complied, and gave him the time he needed to think it over. Finally, Tacitus's response came - He returned her feelings, and their relationship began. Though because of Aya's status as an idol, romantic relationships were forbidden, so she had to keep her own a secret, something she had in common with fellow idol Mellow.

Since then, Aya has moved in, living with Tacitus in the peace and quiet of the forest. She still leaves for her idol duties each morning of course, but she always returns each night to the one place she feels she can finally call home.
