Amai Higashi

Amai in Home Economics class.

**Amai Higashi** is a Cosmos Academy student and Junior Ranger in training.

Amai Higashi is voiced by Allison Davis.

### Personality

Amai Higashi is the sweetheart of the class. Joyous, compassionate, bubbly, and nice to everyone, not a single student has anything bad to say about her. Though she's the littlest student in class, and certainly not the strongest, she's willing to do whatever she can to aide her friends. As overly nice and affectionate as she is, Amai is no pushover, showing no fear when standing up to bullies like Arthur. Aside from Ranger training, her favorite pastimes include singing (very terribly), baking, and eating cinnamon flavored sweets.

## Attributes

### Abilities

* **Athletic Aptitude**: Due to extensive training and conditioning, Amai possesses advanced physical attributes and athletic capabilities.
* **Combat Aptitude**: As a cadet at Cosmos Academy, Amai is skilled in both armed and unarmed combat.
* **Marksmanship Aptitude**: Being prepared for security and military threats, Amai is trained in the use of ranged weapons, particularly pistols such as the Interstellar Force’s standard issue handles.
* **Survival Aptitude**: In preparation for missions across space and on various planets, Amai is trained in operating in and adapting to a variety of environments and conditions.
* **Cooking Aptitude**: Amai has some skill in baking, having a penchant for putting cinnamon in her food, even when it is ill-suited for them, such as a stew Hope was making.

### Weaknesses

* **Innocence**: While an otherwise dedicated student, Amai often sports an almost childlike and silly demeanor, absentmindedly humming to herself oblivious to how bothersome it was to Jazz as the latter tinkered with her miniature robot, “Lemon”. Arthur knocked over her friend, Hope's, pot of stew and then proceeded to remorselessly mock it, Amai made a juvenile attempt to insult Arthur, something the latter was confused by but nonetheless respected for her effort.
* **Singing Ineptitude**: Despite loving to sing, Amai is ironically very poor at it due to being tone-deaf.
