## **Backstory**

When Aiko was young she lived with her parents, who often ignored and neglected her and her Grandfather, who was always very kind to her. She often tried to make art for her parents, digging for their praise but they always dismissed her before even looking at what she made due to being too busy. Eventually her parents got a new job and moved far away from her and she was forced to live with her Grandfather. Aiko felt betrayed and grew to not trust people very easily, especially adults. Even in her darkest moments her Grandfather was always kind and understanding towards her.

Every night when Aiko was feeling down and could not sleep her Grandfather would sit and sing to her until she felt better. This is where her love of music began and she started dreaming of becoming a professional singer. She worked very hard but something happened on her first day of middle school, she suddenly lost her singing voice entirely for unknown reasons. And though now she had friends she could not follow her dream. She grew to hate music and will most likely leave the room if she hears any kind of music start to play.

One day she became Precure and at first didn’t want to be Precure, she didn’t trust her teammates and honestly didn’t want to get involved with their mess. But during a fight one of King Empty revealed he was behind her missing singing voice. They took it in an attempt to send Aiko into despair so he could turn her into his servant. Telling Aiko this backfired and she finally decided it was a fight worth partaking in.
