Chidorigafuchi Aine

Aine Chidorigafuchi ( ) is one of the main heroines of the Masō Gakuen HxH series. She is one of prominent members of Ataraxia's Amaterasu who is famed for mastering Heart Hybrid Gear much quicker than her comrades, specifically Kizuna. It is later revealed that she is also known as Aines Synclavia the lost princess of Vatlantis Empire before her amnesia. After regaining her memories, she returns to the throne and became the emperor of Vatlantis. After defeating the Deus Ex Machina and restoring both worlds, her little sister Grace "banished" her from Vatlantis after raising an agreed upon "coup d'etat" for the throne, so she could live with Kizuna on Lemuria.
==Appearance==
Aine is a beautiful, white-skinned young woman with below-the-knee length silver hair, red eyes that have long eyelashes, glossy pink lips and a voluptuous, trained body. 
She is usually seen wearing the Ataraxia school uniform, as the events take place in a school. 
When Aine does Climax Hybrid, her Heart Hybrid Gear changes in appearance and fuses with Eros (Hida Kizuna). She also acquires a weapon called the Pulverizer and her Heart Hybrid Gear becomes more sharp and slender.
After unlocking her memories and Code Breaker, Aine's appearance changed somewhat. When filled with magical power, her hair becomes pink and her eyes takes on a more pinkish hue. Her HHG, Zeros also gained a large magical circle on the upper back which stretches behind her and above her head while Code Breaker is active.
==Personality==
Aine is first seen as a very serious and arrogant person in her first meeting with Kizuna and told him to go away and made fun of him. However, later on, she opens up to him. Aine is also very shy and stubborn. She doesn't remember what happened in the first 7 years of her life because of her amnesia. She has a wicked tongue and likes to look down on other people, as noted by Kizuna. Also, unlike her sister, Aine is very quickly embarrassed.
Aine thinks that she is inferior to everyone with the Heart Hybrid Gear, and so she tries to do anything to become stronger. After the end of volume 4, where she finally remembers her past as the Emperor of Vatlantis (the biggest country in AU) she becomes somewhat depressed and melancholy, as events have forced her and her friends to come into conflict. Even worse, in order to save her own world, she had to do horrible things to other people because she couldn't find a better answer, such as having to kill the man she loved to protect him from being brutally killed by her sister and the Vatlantis army.
After bringing the war to an end with Kizuna, Aine's mood improved. She is more friendly and open about her feelings, especially her love for Kizuna. However, she doesn't mind that her friends love him too, but still see them as her love rivals. She even told them it is fine for them to marry him too if they want and is okay with them performing Ecstasy Hybrid. Although, she always declares that she'll still be Kizuna's first and main wife regardless. Thus, she can still get intense when it comes to maintaining this position and will question Kizuna when she thinks he is favoring someone else more, such as his older sister, who has started using her own position to spend more time with him. While she still likes to act smug about herself, she doesn't exaggerate as much as she did before. 
She tends to always find a detour in order to win. She declares that Reiri is Kizuna's sister, and thus she does not count as a wife, so she is just a special case, further displaying her stubbornness and unwillingness to accept defeat.
Aine gets more excited when she is being watched or teased. This is because to her shame and pleasure go hand in hand together, which is why the more embarrassed Aine gets, the more excited she becomes as well. This is why Kizuna usually puts Aine is extremely embarrassing situations when they need to do Climax Hybrid or Ecstasy Hybrid.
==History==
===Background===
Aine was found seven years before the events of volume 1 near a canal named Chidorigafuchi in Tokyo. Some time later, Kizuna's mother took her in and gave her a name. She was experimented in Nayuta's lab until she started to attend high-school.
At the end of volume 4, after being entranced by Zelsione's Teros, Aine remembers her past growing up as the Emperor of Vatlantis, a position her younger sister filled hoping for her until her return.
===Plot===
===Volume 1===
Aine is first seen when Kizuna arrives at Ataraxia. She was staring at the sea when Kizuna approaches her. As he begins to talk to her, an alarm goes off, meaning that Other-World invaders are coming to Ataraxia. She begins taking off her clothes while Kizuna watches, and she tells him angrily to look away so there won't be any problem. Once she undresses it's revealed that she wears a Pilot Uniform and that she's fighting the Invaders. She flies off and begins fighting them with a Colt M4A1 (for some reason) but she gets knocked out and lands beaten next to Kizuna. Kizuna (who also tried to use his Hybrid Gear: Zeros but failed) tries to help her come back to her senses but can't. His sister calls in and gives him directions on how to help Aine. After following her advice, Kizuna lewdly touches Aine. Aine recovers fully. She flies off once again and defeats the invaders.
She is later formally introduced to Kizuna and his powers after the battle.

However, she prefers using her superhuman strength.
*Immense Stamina: Aine has a remarkable amount of stamina from her continuously combat training. Her resistance and recovery speed is also incredible to allow her to recover very quickly even from serious injuries.

*Code Breaker: First unveiled at the end of volume 4 and final episode of the anime, Zeros' true ability is a magic circle that envelops magical items and deconstructs them into their base component, magical particles, upon contact. While this ability is powerful against magical weapons and any structure designed through magic, it can be offset by energy-draining abilities (such as Grace's Harvest) or attacks that are too powerful to be erased.
