Airi Yukifune

Airi Yukifune (行舟 愛理, Yukifune Airi) is a 24-year-old sickly girl that was put into cryosleep by Kou Kimijima in 2009. She was put out of it after being found by Kaito Yashio at the end of 2019, still looking the same as she was in 2009. She was the basis of the Airi personality of Kou Kimijima's AI.
==Appearance==
==Personality==
Airi is revealed to be a very sad and lonely girl: she suffered from an illness that, while not life-threatening, confined her to bed and would cause her to suffer greatly for the rest of her life. Overtime, she found that the only thing she ever looked forward to was the weather forecast- she would watch it about a dozen times a day, believing that if it snowed on Christmas Eve, she would miraculously be cured of her illness. As time went on, however, her hopes slowly but surely diminished, since no matter how many times she wished, it never snowed. Eventually, she gave up on the hope that it would snow, and as a result, stopped believing in miracles altogether.

Airi Yukifune is a girl originally similar in age to Kaito Yashio back in 2008. She suffers from a non-life-threatening but permanent illness that cannot be helped with current modern medicine. After meeting Kou Kimijima, he gives her the alpha version of the IRUO. system so that she can explore the world despite having to mainly rest in bed. However, when her sickness worsens he convinces her to let him freeze her in a cryonic sleep till the time comes that her illness can be cured. He tells her that because she might be lonely while sleeping he will let an A.I. he has made to look like her wander the island in her stead. In fact, this is part of his experiments in converting personality and memories into data in order to truly digitize one's consciousness.
==Plot==
Airi Yukifune is woken up from her cryonic sleep in Robotics;Notes and initially is still brainwashed by Kou Kimijima. However, she later becomes friends with Kaito Yashio and the rest of the Robot Research Club and becomes a member of the club, by the time of Robotics;Notes DaSH. In Robotics;Notes DaSH, Airi Yukifune, along with the other club members, JAXA’s advisor to the club Nae Tennouji, and Itaru Hashida who is visiting Tanegashima, attends the Tanegashima Gun Festival.
