Aya Maruyama

Aya Maruyama is one of the main characters from the BanG Dream! series.
== Charactah Account ==
The Vocalist for Pastel*Palettes. A longtime fan of idols, she had been in training for three years, never having an opportunity for her big break until now. Cheerful and bubbly on the outside, she has an internal desire to be noticed and loved, and she can often freeze up under pressure. She somewhat acts as a senpai to Kasumi of Poppin'Party.
Deep down, however, she is a sensitive girl who suffers from a complex stemming from her desire to be noticed. Adding to this, she does not wear her disguise outside because she wants to get noticed, and even looks up constantly what people think of her on the internet. She gets worked up easily and tends to cry a lot, thus her improvisation skills are poor and she tends to mess up during her MC duties. She also has a senpai-kouhai relationship with Kasumi and often frets over it, trying her best to look and act like an "admirable, reliable senpai".
Aya works hard in order to become an idol she can be proud of, and is very determined in her goal and passion despite her shortcomings. She is also very knowledgeable about certain things, such as taking the perfect selfie, and is shown to constantly practice this. She also likes coming up with different "idol poses" which she's usually proud of, despite the fact that people tease her for them (or misunderstand them, just like in Eve's case).
