Ayano Aishi

Ayano Aishi (also known as Yandere-chan or Yan-chan) is the main playable protagonist of Yandere Simulator and the main antagonist in the spin-off minigame Yandere no Sutoka. Her goal is to eliminate 10 rivals who have a special interest in her Senpai.
==Abilities==
Initially Ayano is very weak as she has not honed any skills. However, she has a great amount of stamina as she can run indefinitely and is quicker than other students. She also has the strength to take down a regular student in one hit and move heavy dumpsters, which can be filled with trash and corpses, without getting tired. As of the August 15th, 2016 Build, YandereDev implemented the "Sanity-based Killing Animation" for Ayano, which allows her to stealth kill students. As of April 26, 2018 build containing the delinquents, Ayano can use a hand-to-hand combat system to fight in a one-on-one duel with the delinquents or potentially a rival.
Ayano will not have any supernatural powers other than Yandere Vision, but even then her Yandere Vision is essentially just keen senses.https://twitter.com/YandereDev/status/690816019649064960 She also can pickpocket others. As of the April 15th, 2016 Build, her giggle now attracts the attention of other students, causing them to follow the noise to its source. As of the March 6th, 2018 Build, Ayano can use a mirror to adopt several different outward personas that will allow her to gain benefits from students she fits in with. She knows how to torture a student to their breaking point in at least 40 hours.
Ayano can take classes to learn how to tranquilize a student, become stronger, run even faster, take down a teacher (an ability implemented as of August 15th, 2016 Build), and more upcoming abilities when the rest of the classes are implemented. If Ayano reads enough manga volumes, then she is able to seduce males and females or become numb enough that her sanity hardly decreases when killing students.
Ayano currently has an unrealistically large inventory. Although she can only conceal three weapons, she can still simultaneously carry around fifteen manga novels, twelve cassette tapes, a bottle of tranquilizer, an answer sheet, a bottle of poison, Saki Miyu's bra, Ryuto Ippongo's headband, a modified uniform, a pack of cigarettes, her phone, and notes. YandereDev has stated that it is just one of those video game instances where some items take up space and others don't really matter.https://twitter.com/YandereDev/status/664865706937204736 The player will eventually be able to view her inventory.https://twitter.com/YandereDev/status/664863845421158400
By the end of the game, Ayano will be extremely strong, as she has unlocked all skills available. Because of this, only a Yandere girl with supernatural powers could defeat her at this point.https://www.reddit.com/r/yandere_simulator/comments/4dutvt/ayano_aishi_vs_yuno_gasai_who_would_win/ Ayano will be able to kill almost any NPC she comes across.https://twitter.com/YandereDev/status/628243125979328513 However, there may be some exceptions to this. When police are added, she can't kill them because if they started dying, the school would have to be closed.https://twitter.com/YandereDev/status/650708197800439809https://twitter.com/YandereDev/status/621913676811886592
==Sanity==
Ayano's sanity begins at 100%, though if the player performs actions including killing people, pushing them off the roof, etc, her sanity will decrease. Her killing animations change based on her sanity level. It takes longer amounts of time to kill someone when she is insane, and a short time if her sanity is at 100%. The player can raise her sanity to 100% again by doing certain activities, such as being in Senpai's proximity or laughing hysterically.
If Senpai sees Ayano insane (dark shadow, walking strangely), he will automatically think that she's an insane psychopath, and will reject her, causing an instant "game over". Her reputation will also decrease if more people see her as insane. Another way to get a "game over" while insane is when people see her true nature when she is walking around visibly insane, her reputation will decrease and rumors will be spread around to school. Those rumors will eventually reach Senpai, warning him of her true intentions. He will then think Ayano is an unhinged person and will stay away from her. This will result in an automatic game over.
==Background==
Ayano was born on 1st April,https://twitter.com/YandereDev/status/625796063144710144 to Ryoba Aishi and Jokichi Yudasei. Ayano was born with the same condition as her mother, grandmother, and all of her female ancestors had. Her description states "this condition leaves her with a perpetual sense of being empty, hollow, and incomplete. As a result, she has never been able to experience satisfaction, fulfillment, or happiness, and has not been able to experience emotions in the same capacity as other people. As she grew older, she learned to pretend to be a normal person in order to avoid drawing negative attention from others, but was never able to feel any degree of empathy towards other human beings".
As revealed in an Intro and in a Yandere-chan's childhood video, Ryoba told Ayano at some point that she was exactly like her when she was a child, and that, one day, she'd meet someone special who will "complete" her, just like she did. However, she never told her what she did in the past, as she promised Jokichi to never do it.https://old.reddit.com/r/yandere_simulator/comments/a1bvch/three_questions/ Because Ryoba always knew about Ayano's condition, she didn't worry about her at all, but Jokichi desperately wanted to help their daughter, which included taking her to hospitals, doctors, and on examinations. Ryoba tried to explain to Jokichi condition of their daughter, but he didn't want to listen to her words until Ayano began to pretend to be "normal".
As revealed in a childhood lesson video, Ryoba kept the promise that she gave to Jokichi, but she still found ways to "teach" Ayano how to get away with murder. At some point during Ayano's early childhood, when they both were making dinner together, Ryoba "accidentally" cut her finger with a knife. She asked Ayano to clean up the blood while she was bandaging herself, and after Ayano did so, Ryoba informed her that the blood was still there. She then took luminol from the shelf next to her and sprayed the place where blood was. Afterwards, Ryoba turned off the lights and showed that the blood was still there using a blacklight. She then sprinkled the area with peroxide, and this time, the blacklight didn't show any blood where it was before. This way, Ryoba taught Ayano how to clean up blood after murder.
During Ayano's middle school years, Ryoba expressed that she would be happy if Ayano would go to the school that she and her husband attended-- Akademi . She felt that she would meet her "someone special" there, just like she did. Ayano decided to fulfill her mother's wishes, with the hope she would finally feel satisfaction. After focusing on her learning intensely she was accepted to Akademi, but did not feel any of the satisfaction she wanted: instead, she focused on the idea she would never be normal like other people. The following year, both her parents took a ten-week vacation to America.
Some time afterwards, Ayano bumps into Senpai in the hallway and immediately experiences emotions and a sense of completion. She then finds out about his childhood friend, Osana Najimi, who has a crush on him. Ayano expresses intense jealousy and anger over this, as she feels Senpai is hers. After stalking them for a while, she receives texts from Info-chan, who reveals Osana's crush and that she plans on confessing this to him on Friday. The idea of killing Osana forms and the game begins shortly after.

Before meeting Taro, Ayano was just drifting through life without any purpose.https://twitter.com/YandereDev/status/667448205911560192 She only met Senpai a few days before the beginning of the gamehttps://twitter.com/YandereDev/status/652345626307375104, having enhanced feelings in his presence for the first time in her life.https://www.reddit.com/r/yandere_simulator/comments/5irskw/question_regarding_ayano/ She changes because she no longer cares about right or wrong as she did before the encounter.https://twitter.com/YandereDev/status/648907485625974784
Ayano acts perverted and lovesick toward Senpai, wanting to go into the Boys' Shower Room to admire him.https://twitter.com/YandereDev/status/643890112892264448 and enjoys trying meals that she has seen Senpai eating because it makes her feel closer to him. She appreciates anything that makes him happy.https://twitter.com/YandereDev/status/642182468414500864https://twitter.com/YandereDev/status/690357017366634498 Even so, what Ayano feels isn't lust or a crush, but more like seeing color in a grey world.https://twitter.com/YandereDev/status/657285298678726656 In fact, it might not even be romantic, since Senpai just seems to give her new sensations.https://twitter.com/YandereDev/status/667160030295285760 Ayano would love to confess to Senpai under the Confession Tree one day.https://twitter.com/YandereDev/status/692415972104368128 If she ever lost Senpai's love, or if she got rejected by Senpai, YandereDev could imagine her crying over it.https://twitter.com/YandereDev/status/687959880561332224
