Ai is 17 years old at the beginning of the series. Her birthday is December 18th 2004.

## History

### Early Life

She was born with a lot of rare conditions and her birth parents were nowhere to be seen, while she was hospitalised. After she was discharged, she was taken into custody by a mean foster care lady and it wasn't just an ordinary foster care home. It was a spooky orphanage.

She was forced to go to an all girls school when she reached her preteen years and she got bullied a lot by some mean girls. It was hard for her, since she hardly had any friends and she tried reporting it to the principal, but she didn't believe her. All she did was give her hours of detention and then she eventually suspended her. The evil foster lady punished her and she forced her to do chores.

She ran away when she was 13, despite how she was treated and she managed to get a job as a gamer and an apartment to live in. When she was 14, she had a seizure and was sent to the hospital, due to her condition. Her subscribers managed to donate some money to her for her surgery and she made it out safely. She stopped attending school when she turned 16, due to the way she was treated and she decided to move on straight to her adulthood early at a young age.

When Ai was 17, she met Katsumi and they eventually became really good friends. Unfortunately, it took some time for her to warm up to him, since she got bullied in the past, but things worked out well in the end. She was also offered a part time job at the Vehicle Repair Shop by the Vehicle Repair Shop Owner and she became pretty much the first and only female employee.

### Present

6 months later, she found some rare alien technology and as soon as she was carrying the alien technology to the lab, she got struck by lightning. As soon as she woke up, she saw a highway changer with a highway car, which was the pink Highway SuperCar. She learnt that her Highway Supercar saved her life and healed her injuries after she was struck by lightning. She also learnt that she was chosen to become Racer Pink and that she can understand what Highway Supercar is saying. As soon as she saw an attack, she transformed into Racer pink and started fighting. While she was fighting, she encountered Racer Red and they both worked together to take down the first threat they ever faced. Racer Red turned out to be her best friend Katsumi and Ai was happy when she was chosen to become more than just a gamer.

The next day, she met Ryuhei, who was also employee as well as Katsumi and herself and he had already chosen to become Racer Yellow. She was nervous when she was about to meet the rest of her teammates, despite her difficult past, but despite how kind they've been to her as well as Katsumi, she gradually warmed up to them and eventually, she was excited to get to know them better, since she was stuck with Katsumi most of the time.

A few days later, she and Katsumi met Racer Cross and he admired the Vehicle Repair shop. She was also nervous when she met him, but she knew that things would work out well.

Ai had been working overtime almost 24/7 at the Vehicle Repair Shop, covering for everyone’s positions, while her teammates, the owner, her mentor and the sister of Racer Cross were missing. She then found Makoto sitting in the break room after 2 months and she had been worried sick on the inside.

After checking in with her Highway Car, Ai decided to nickname it **Sae**, due to how innocent and cute she is.

The only problem that she ran into was that all her male teammates don’t show any concern for her, which makes her feel neglected. Sae cares about her partner and she remembered that Ai’s 18th birthday was coming up. Unfortunately, Ai went for a walk, while feeling sad and her partner felt awful for her.

## Personality

Ai has a very sweet, kind and caring personality whenever she's with her friends. But when she was with the Evil Foster Lady, she kept her emotions inside and that's when she ran away when she was getting abused. She was scared when she entered the real world, but her friends from the Vehicle Repair Shop were very kind and understanding to her. She gradually grew closer to them and she managed to warm up to them.

## Relationships

### Allies

* Katsumi Supotsuka - He was Ai's first ever friend, ever since she got hired at the Vehicle Repair Shop. He was the first person to find out about her medical condition after Sae.
* Makoto Shirai - Her relationship with Makoto is a calm one and she acts natural whenever he’s around to avoid trouble. He’s the 2nd person to find out about her condition after Katsumi and Sae.
* Ryuhei Imizu - Ai first met Ryuhei alongside Katsumi and she tries to act natural around him to avoid any trouble, just like with Makoto.
* Rihito Kadoya -
* Racer Cross - Ai saw Racer Cross visit the Vehicle Repair Shop and she and Katsumi greets and welcomes him kindly. Both Racer Cross and Ai have a good friendly relationship towards each other.
* Vehicle Repair Ship Owner - He is Ai's employer and he pays her monthly during her career at the Vehicle Repair Shop.
* Haruka Kakihara - Ai heard good things about Haruka and she trusts her as a friend, ally and a mentor. She also ships her with her best friend Katsumi, since he talks about her a lot.
* Racer Cross' Sister -
* Sports Kosocker -
* Mount Kosocker -
* Smart Kosocker -
* Speed Kosocker -
* Super Kosocker/Sae - Ai’s relationship with Sae is very strong, since she is the only other female around often and they are both best friends. Sae is the first person to know about her partner’s medical conditions and she’s very supportive around her. Unfortunately, Ai’s the only person who can communicate properly with animals and living things, including the Highway Cars, which is a lot more difficult for her male teammates. At least Ai can translate on what the cars are saying to them. Ai warmed up to Sae much faster than everyone else, due to the lack of trust issues she had from her foster care home and she couldn’t resist Sae’s kind, positive and caring attitude.
