She accepted Tokiomi's proposal with full knowledge of what it meant to marry a mage. While Kariya loved her as well, he peacefully gave up pursuing her affections because she seemed happy accepting Tokiomi's proposal.

===Personality===
Aoi is a passive and loyal woman who does not interfere with her husband's affairs, described by Kirei Kotomine as the ideal version of a traditional wife.
She gives off the feeling of a well-raised young lady who became a mother, and she was designed to be a different type of "ideal mother" than Irisviel. Irisviel embodies a "fun mother", while Aoi is a "peaceful mother" who is better at using the "hidden power" that is inherent to mothers. She gives off the strong feeling of "That husband of mine, never taking care of himself", and while she looks like Rin at a glance, her behavior is more like that of Sakura.
==Role==
===Fate/Zero===
During the Holy Grail War, when Rin ran away to find her friend Kotone, who had been kidnapped by Caster, Aoi is so anxious for her that she returns to Fuyuki City looking for her. Later on, Kariya gives Rin back to Aoi after he finds her, which is also how Aoi finds out about his condition and his resolve to kill Tokiomi.
On the final day of the war, Aoi finds her husband dead, with Kariya present in the room, however, being unaware that Kirei was responsible for Tokiomi's death and that Kariya had arrived to confront Tokiomi only after the man was dead. In her grief, she blames Kariya and the Matou family for taking away both Sakura and her husband and claims that Kariya never loved anyone. With both his resolve and heart crushed, he violently strangles Aoi.Fate/Zero Volume 4: Flames of Purgatory - Act 14 Part 5 -30:02:45
