**Airin Maehara *(前原愛琳, lit. Maehara Airin, Irene Maehara)*** is the main protagonist of the fanfiction novel Hidden Thoughts who has psychic abilities. In the beginning, she was always seen alone, but she eventually gets along with her schoolmates as the story progresses, especially Saiki Kusuo.

## Appearance

     Airin is known for having heterochromia-- Green on the left eye and blue on the right. She has wavy medium-length hair, and an average height, but has pretty features. She wears accessories such as clear contact lenses (to block petrification) and black earrings, especially on school days. During her school days, she wears the standard male PK Academy uniform. On days off from school, she wears simple clothing, has tied hair, and has clear glasses.

Airin's appearance is not limited to that of a female, as she can also transform into anything. While in her male form, Airin goes under the name Akito. In this form, she has shorter hair and is wearing the male standard PK Academy uniform.

## Personality

Airin is known for being naturally quiet and intimidating. Although being the most popular in the school (aside from Kokomi), no one can approach her as her stare can scare everyone except everyone brave enough to approach her. But if someone got to know her better, she's someone who can rely on and has a complex personality. She sometimes can act like a whole different personality depending on the situation.

Airin is also a very private person. She loves to stay in her room to draw, paint, sew, crochet, read and write, and only comes out to eat or take a bath. She'll go to libraries and museums alone when she gets bored doing these. According to Kusuke, she has a personal room aside from her bedroom that has full of art, sewing and crocheting materials, paintings, and books in their house in London, England. She later revealed that the other room was her late grandmother's bedroom, which she occupied. She was very close to her, which is why she was devastated when Airin learned she died due to cardiac arrest.

## History

*This section contains spoilers.* **You have been warned!**
Airin was born on November 1st to completely normal parents, a housewife Maehara Yui and a research scientist/inventor Maehara Akihito. She was raised in her mother's hometown, Hidari Wakibara, in Japan.

Her parents didn't consider their daughter a psychic, as she grew up normally. Until when she was 5 days old, she just talked with her mouth open. They just didn't think about it, but it progressively got worse. When she reached 5 years old, her dad decided to get her checked by himself in England. When they found out that Airin is an esper, they decided to move to London. As Airin's power would grow every day, Akihito inserted a small chip into her brain that would limit her powers. Of that, she lived normally in a foreign country.

When she reached thirteen, she decided to go back to Japan, as she doesn't want to lack knowledge about the country where she came from. Her dad can't go with her because of his pile of work, so it's only her and her mom. She went to PK Academy, the school that her mom also attended years ago. Her first year was normal, but she never thought of having disastrous life in her second year, along with Kusuo.
