**Ayano Aishi, also known as Yandere-chan, is the main character and playable protagonist of *Yandere Simulator*. Her goal in the game is to eliminate 10 rivals who have a special interest in her Senpai.**

## Name

YandereDev originally did not want to name Ayano, as he believed that a name was unimportant Template:Cite, but he later changed his mind.

One of the YandereDev's first ideas about Yandere-chan's name was that it could mean "Murder", for which he suggested Satsu Jinsha or Jinsha Satsu.

However, he resigned from this idea, and decided that her name would include "yan" in it somewhere. He leaned towards Ayano, because there are fewer Google searches for that name.

Ayano is nicknamed "Yan-chan" by other students (probably by the "yan" in "Ayano" and not because of the "Yandere-chan"), but teachers will refer to her by either her surname or full name.

Her name ”Ayano” in Japanese is written as あやの in hiragana (アヤノ in katakana). In kanji, it is either 綾乃, with 綾 (aya) that means "figure", "design", "twill", or "pattern of diagonal stripes", or 彩乃, with 彩 (aya), that means "color", both with 乃 (no), which is a possessive particle.

Her surname "Aishi" is combination of kanji 愛 (Ai) that means "Love", and 死 (Shi) that means "Death". "Aishi" is also an actual Japanese name, but rather than being ended with 死, is more often ended with 志 (Shi) that means "Purpose", "Will", "Determination", "Aspiration", or "Ambition";思 (Shi) that means "Think"; or 詩 (Shi) that means "Poetry" or "Poem".

### Current Intro

Ayano monologues about her life, explaining that she has always felt "hollow" and "empty". She reveals that her mother, Ryoba, also felt this way until she met her father, who awakened feelings in her. Ryoba related this to Ayano, impressing on her that the same experience would happen to her as well. Ayano states that she has spent her life dreaming about this moment, waiting for the love that will "cure", "fix", and "save" her. The player is then shown the moment Ayano encountered her Senpai, Taro Yamada, who brought colour, emotions and hope to her life, thus ending her grey and emotionless life, and Ayano is ecstatic until the appearance of Osana Najimi, the first rival, sends her into a rage. Ayano says that Osana cannot appreciate Senpai in the way that *she* does and resolves to keep Senpai to herself – even if that means hurting or killing Osana. She ends by stating that "He will be mine. He doesn't have a choice."

The intro then crossfades into the text message sequence from the second intro, in which Info-chan reveals herself to Ayano and gives her information on Osana, including her plans to confess love to Senpai. Info-chan establishes the Panty Shot system with Ayano and ends with a wish for Osana to suffer.

### Old Intros

#### First Intro

At the beginning of the first intro, after expressing how disappointed she is with her current love life, Ayano has a dream about her ideal lover, 'Senpai', the night before her second year of high school. That morning, she loses track of the time and leaves for school late. She crashes into someone who looks perfectly identical to the person she saw in her dreams. When she sees him, she instantly falls in love with him, concluding to herself that their meeting is fate. She then sees him being scolded by his childhood friend, Osana Najimi, and plans to get rid of her.

Ayano then meets a mysterious girl named Info-chan, who asked by phone to meet her in Classroom 3-3. Info-chan tells her about the panty shot system and asks her to kill others around the school so that her newspaper will sell better. Ayano has serious doubts about this, not wanting to do anything that horrible, but considers the idea after being told that Osana will confess her love for Senpai that Friday, under the cherry tree behind the school.

This cut scene is no longer in current versions of the game; however, it can be seen in four parts on YandereDev's YouTube channel. As of the August 15th, 2015 Build, the second intro was implemented.

#### Second Intro

In the second intro, Ayano talks to herself about her Senpai, Taro Yamada. She says she had felt no emotions at all until she met him, and now feels envy and rage towards someone who is apparently trying to take him from her. Ayano says she wants to kill this person, and that there is not a single thing she would not do for him.The text message cutscene with Info-chan then plays.

As of the June 15th, 2019 Build, the first part of this intro is no longer in the game, having been replaced by the current intro. The text message portion remains unchanged.

## Appearance

*Main Article: Customization*
 File:Hairstyletemplates.png
Ayano Aishi has light skin, grey eyes, and straight, long black hair. She is 165 cm tall (5 feet, 4.96 inches), weighs 43 kg (94 lbs),  and has average-sized breasts.  Her hair is tied into a high ponytail with a bang swept to the right, and has two strands of hair reaching to her shoulders. As of the August 15, 2019 build, she can purchase dye and bleach her hair blond, in order to meet one of the requirements for joining the delinquents. In the future, she may gain a new ponytail, which will be very similar to her current hairstyle but is an original asset.

Ayano is seen wearing a white and navy blue sailor uniform shirt with a red mini scarf, a matching navy blue skirt, black thigh high socks, and black shoes. (Unless changed into indoor shoes which are white with blue on the tip.) Her uniform can be customized. In all uniforms, she wears black thigh high socks.

She is the only character (besides Senpai) we've seen wearing the official uniform Yandere Dev wants to use. Consisting of a white button-up, long-sleeved shirt, red ribbon, and blue dress. She keeps her black thigh high socks and black shoes.

When in town Ayano will wear a teal-green shirt, blue denim skirt, black thigh high socks, black gloves, and sneakers. She wears the same outfit in the Driving Your Rivals To Murder video.

When visibly insane, Ayano will become hunched over, twitch erratically, have dilated pupils, and the top half of her face will cast a dark shadow. If she has murdered a student, her uniform and the rest of her body will become bloody.

When Yandere Vision is active, Ayano's body will be outlined in black, and her eyes will be fully red.

 File:Mainchar.jpg
There used to be an Easter Egg where if she ran behind the Confession Tree located at the back of the school, she would be wearing a red and black version of the default uniform. This, however, was removed, after being reported countless times as a "bug".

There are several other Easter Eggs that alter her appearance, those being *47 Mode*, *Bad Time Mode*, *Bancho Mode*, *Blade Hair Mode*, *Cirno Mode*, *Cyborg Mode*, *DK Mode*, *Ebola Mode*, *Falcon Mode*, *Galo Mode*, *Hateful Mode*, *Punch Mode*, *Huntress Mode,* *Punished Mode*, *Slender Mode*, *Titan Mode*, *Tornado Mode*, *Witch Mode*, *X Mode*, *Hunger Mode*, *Medusa Mode*, *Gazer Mode*, *Yandere-kun*, and *Ship Girl Mode*. The Easter Eggs that don't alter her appearance are *Bad Romance Mode*, a mode where a Stand from *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure* follows the player around, and *Spooky Mode*, a mode where every female NPC turns into a skeleton.

The player can change her appearance by altering the streaming assets folder. The player can currently give her different hairstyles by pressing the **H** key. The player can give her eye-wear accessories using the **P** key. They can also give her random miscellaneous accessories using the **O** key. The **<** and **>** keys decrease/increase her bust size.

In the final game, Ayano's hair will not be customizable during gameplay , unless the player goes to the small town's barbershop.

Ayano's blue counterpart model, Aoi Kiryu, can be bought in the Unity Asset store.

When she is a delinquent, her hair will be blond and she will wear a mask.

## Description

Ayano Aishi is the protagonist of *Yandere Simulator*. She is known as "Yandere-chan" to players of the game and has been given the nickname "Yan-chan" by her classmates.

Since early childhood, Ayano has suffered from an inexplicable, incurable condition. In short, this condition leaves her with a perpetual sense of being empty, hollow, and incomplete. As a result, she has never been able to experience satisfaction, fulfillment, or happiness, and has not been able to experience emotions in the same capacity as other people. As she grew older, she learned to pretend to be a normal person in order to avoid drawing negative attention from others but was never able to feel any degree of empathy towards other human beings.

Her mother tried to comfort her, telling her that at Ayano's age, she was the same, and she couldn't feel anything. But someday, she said, she would meet someone who will change her life forever.

On the first day of her second year of high school, Ayano came into physical contact with "Senpai." In that moment, she gained the ability to experience everything that had been missing from her life; she felt complete, she felt fulfilled, and she felt powerful emotions. Meeting Senpai was like seeing color for the first time, hearing music for the first time, and feeling warmth for the first time. In his presence, she felt overwhelmed with euphoria...but as soon as they were apart, the feelings of emptiness returned.

Within a very short span of time, she quickly became absolutely addicted to him and came to rely on him in order to feel alive. Then, Ayano saw something horrible...something that terrified her and infuriated her at the same time. It was a young woman who clearly had deep feelings for Senpai. If Senpai entered a relationship with this girl, then Ayano might lose him forever...

Without a moment's hesitation, Ayano knew exactly what had to be done. This girl - her rival - had to be eliminated as soon as possible, by any means necessary, no matter what the cost.

## Personality

### First Intro

In the first intro cutscene, Ayano seemed to have feelings, and wasn't such a potential criminal; she was coaxed into it by Info-chan and was apprehensive of the idea of killing another person. She was simply a lovesick schoolgirl who wanted a boyfriend. She didn't even seem to consider killing Osana before Info-chan brought it up. This personality, however, is outdated and is stated by YandereDev himself that it does not correctly characterize her true nature.

### Second Intro

In the second intro, Ayano is instead very emotionless, apathetic, and speaks with a deadpan expression. She would do anything to prevent people from obtaining Senpai, even if it meant killing them.

 File:FebruaryPreview.png
### Gameplay

Ayano suffers from a fictional type of insanity. This condition doesn't allow her to experience normal, strong feelings. She had been this way since as far back as she could remember, before meeting Taro Yamada, Senpai, for the first time. Ayano doesn't have the ability to feel emotions, empathy, or remorse. She doesn't feel guilt or shame for harming others. However, she can feel pity at times. She knows what the general people consider to be "wrong", but she just doesn't care.

Ayano's behavior does not perfectly match the definition of either a sociopath or psychopath, but she is capable of actions that only a psychopath would consider taking--being usually bold and egotistical. She doesn't see the point of fighting students non-lethally (besides the delinquents) because they will just report her to the teachers. She is also capable of nonviolent elimination methods in order to cause less trouble for Senpai or to run less of a risk of getting caught while doing something violent.

Ayano's "hobby" is trying to convince everyone around her that she is a normal girl with normal feelings. She buys manga, plays video games, and rides a bike to project the image of a regular school girl. However, she doesn't enjoy any of it.

Overall, Ayano is a blank slate whose personality is determined by the player's actions and choices, but all players have the capacity to commit each of the possible actions in the game. She isn't incredibly talkative by default and will only speak when necessary.

## Abilities

At the start of the game, Ayano is very weak as she has not honed any skills. However, she has a great amount of stamina as she can run indefinitely and is quicker than other students. She also has the strength to take down a regular student in one hit and move heavy dumpsters, which can be filled with trash and corpses, without getting tired. As of the August 15th, 2016 Build, YandereDev implemented the "Sanity-based Killing Animation" for Ayano, which allows her to stealth kill students. As of the April 26, 2018 build containing the delinquents, Ayano can use a hand-to-hand combat system to fight in a one-on-one duel with the delinquents or potentially a rival.

Ayano will not have any supernatural powers other than Yandere Vision, but even then her Yandere Vision is essentially just keen senses. She also can pickpocket others. As of the April 15th, 2016 Build, her giggle now attracts the attention of other students, causing them to follow the noise to its source. As of the March 6th, 2018 Build, Ayano can use a mirror to adopt several different outward personas that will allow her to gain benefits from students she fits in with. She knows how to torture a student to their breaking point in at least 40 hours.

Ayano can take classes to learn how to tranquilize a student, become stronger, run even faster, take down a teacher (an ability implimented as of the August 15th, 2016 Build), and more upcoming abilities when the rest of the classes are implemented. If Ayano reads enough manga volumes, then she is able to seduce males and females, or become numb enough that her sanity hardly decreases when killing students.

Like other video game characters, Ayano currently has an unrealistically large inventory. Although she can only conceal three weapons, she can still simultaneously carry around fifteen manga novels, twelve cassette tapes, a bottle of tranquilizer, an answer sheet, a bottle of poison, Saki Miyu's bra, Ryuto Ippongo's headband, a modified uniform, a pack of cigarettes, her phone, and notes. YandereDev has stated that it is just one of those video game instances where some items take up space and others don't really matter. The player will eventually be able to view her inventory.

By the end of the game, Ayano will be extremely strong, as she has unlocked all skills available. Because of this, only a Yandere girl with supernatural powers could defeat her at this point. Ayano will be able to kill almost any NPC she comes across. However, there may be some exceptions to this. When police are added, she can't kill them because if they started dying, the school would have to be closed.

## Sanity

Ayano's sanity begins at 100% at the start of the game. If the player does actions including killing people, pushing them off the roof, etc, her sanity will decrease. Her killing animations change based on her sanity level. It takes longer amounts of time to kill someone when she is insane, and a short time if her sanity is at 100%. The player can raise her sanity to 100% again by doing certain action, such as being in Senpai's proximity or laughing.

If Senpai sees Ayano insane (dark shadow, walking strangely), he will automatically think that she's an insane psychopath, and will reject her, causing an instant "game over". Her reputation will also decrease if more people see you insane. Another way to get a "game over" while insane is when people see her true nature when the player is walking around hunched and stuff, her reputation will decrease and rumors will spread around to school. Those rumors will eventually reach Senpai, warning him of her true intentions. He will then think Ayano is an unhinged person, and will stay away from you. This will result in an automatic game over.

For these reasons, the player shouldn't kill so many people just to get to one person.

## Background

Ayano was born on 1st April, to Ryoba Aishi and her unnamed husband. Ayano was born with the same condition as her mother, grandmother, and all of her female ancestors had. Her description states "*this condition leaves her with a perpetual sense of being empty, hollow, and incomplete. As a result, she has never been able to experience satisfaction, fulfillment, or happiness, and has not been able to experience emotions in the same capacity as other people. As she grew older, she learned to pretend to be a normal person in order to avoid drawing negative attention from others, but was never able to feel any degree of empathy towards other human beings*".

As revealed in an Intro and in a Yandere-chan's childhood video, Ryoba told Ayano at some point that she was exactly like her when she was a child, and that, one day, she'd meet someone special who will "complete" her, just like she did. However, she never told her what she did in the past, as she promised Ayano's Father to never do it. Because Ryoba always knew about Ayano's condition, she didn't worry about her at all, but Ayano's Father desperately wanted to help their daughter, which included taking her to hospitals, doctors, and on examinations. Ryoba tried to explain Ayano's Father the condition of their daughter, but he didn't want to listen to her words until Ayano began to pretend to be "normal".

As revealed in a childhood lesson video, Ryoba kept the promise that she gave to Ayano's father, but she still found the ways to "teach" Ayano how to get away with murder. At some point during Ayano's early childhood, when they both were making dinner together, Ryoba "accidentally" cut her finger with a knife. She asked Ayano to clean up the blood while she was bandaging herself, and when Ayano did it, Ryoba informed her that the blood was still there. She then took luminol from the shelf next to her and sprayed the place where the blood was. Afterwards, Ryoba turned off the lights and showed the blood was still there using a blacklight. She then sprinkled the area with peroxide, and this time, the blacklight didn't show any blood where it was before. This way, Ryoba taught Ayano how to clean up blood after murder.

During Ayano's middle school years, Ryoba expressed that she would be happy if Ayano would go to the school that she and her husband attended-- Akademi High School. She felt that she would meet her "someone special" there, just like she did. Ayano decided to fulfill her mother's wishes, with the hope she would finally feel satisfaction. After focusing on her learning intensely she was accepted to Akademi, but did not feel any of the satisfaction she wanted: instead, she focused on the idea she would never be normal like other people. The following year, both her parents took a ten-week vacation to America.

Some time afterward, Ayano bumps into Senpai in the hallway and immediately experiences emotions and a sense of completion. She then finds out about his childhood friend, Osana Najimi, who has a crush on him. Ayano expresses intense jealousy and anger over this, as she feels Senpai is hers. After stalking them for a while, she receives texts from Info-chan, who reveals Osana's crush and that she plans on confessing this to him on Friday. The idea of killing Osana forms and the game begins shortly after.

## Relationships

### Taro Yamada

*Main Article: Senpai*
Before meeting Senpai, Ayano was just drifting through life without any purpose. She only met Senpai a few days before the beginning of the game, having enhanced feelings in his presence for the first time in her life. She changes because she no longer cares about right or wrong like she did before the encounter.

Ayano *acts* perverted and lovesick toward Senpai, wanting to go into the Boys' Shower Room to admire him. and enjoys trying meals that she has seen Senpai eating, because it makes her feel closer to him. She appreciates anything that makes him happy. Even so, what Ayano feels isn't lust or a crush, but more like seeing color in a grey world. In fact, it might not even be romantic, since Senpai just seems to give her new sensations. Ayano would love to confess to Senpai under the Confession Tree one day. If she ever lost Senpai's love, or if she got rejected by Senpai, YandereDev could imagine her crying over it.

 File:YandereExplanation.jpeg  If she ever accidentally hurt Senpai, Ayano would feel a mixture of depressed emotions. However, she is okay with traumatizing Senpai in order to eliminate a rival. If Senpai ever committed suicide because of her, she would do the same.

If Senpai died in an accident or due to a disease, Ayano would fall into a deep depression and in a coma-like state. She would refuse to eat and would eventually starve to death. If Senpai died due to murder, Ayano wouldn't rest until she was 100% sure she had killed Senpai's murderer in the most painful way possible. Then, she would gradually fall into the depression-coma. If she knew who did the deed, she also would feel a cross between deep hatred and total, hollow emptiness.

Ayano would not object to anything that would make Senpai happy, as long as it isn't another girl. Because of that, Senpai could use her if he wanted. However, if he ever insulted Ayano, she would punish him and might even break him to fit her ideals. She might mind-break him in an ending.

### Ryoba Aishi

*Main Article: Ryoba Aishi*
Ayano is indifferent to both her parents. She believes that her mother is a kind, pure, warm, gentle, and innocent lady.  Her mother loves her dearly, because Ayano is the physical manifestation of the love between herself and her husband.  Ryoba knows about her daughter's nonexistent emotions, and heeds it no mind. She told her daughter that someone would complete her one day.  If she saw Ayano in a relationship, she would be happy to see that her daughter had found "love".

Ryoba subtly taught Ayano how to avoid being caught in case she decides to commit murder. YandereDev has said that in the game's future skirt inventory, the skirt was made by Ryoba and was given to Ayano, who declined, seeing no use for it. However, after meeting Senpai, Ayano managed to find many ways to use the skirt and began wearing it on the first day the player gains control of her.

### Ayano's Father

*Main Article: Ayano's Father*
Ayano is indifferent to both of her parents. Her father loves Ayano despite having suspicions about her, but doesn't know her true nature.

 In her childhood, Ayano noticed that her father was constantly worried about her and started pretending to be normal, as she started to pity him. Afterwards, there was no longer a reason for her father to worry about her.

However, Ayano suspects that her father had eventually realized she was faking her normality, but was keeping it to himself.

### Aishi Family

*Main Article: Aishi Family*
Ayano is an only child of her mother, Ryoba Aishi, and her father.

The rest of her family is not very close, since as soon as a family member finds a lover, he/she does not usually spend time with others. Ayano may not have even met most of her relatives. No one is on bad terms, though.

### Info-chan

*Main Article: Info-chan*
Ayano's only current ally is Info-chan. They have a strictly professional client-provider relationship. Ayano works 100% solo, excluding her co-operation with Info-chan. In both intros, it seems that one of them might see their reasons for doing what they're doing as justified, while the other person is just insane. Info-chan's attitude towards or beliefs about Ayano may be affected by the player's actions.

 It is possible for Ayano to use Info-chan for basic info on students and to identify rivals without ever giving her any panty shots, meaning that Info-chan may be simply used by her without anything in return, except maybe making Osana suffer. It is a huge spoiler to say what would happen if Ayano didn't take panty shots nor kill students, which would help Info-chan. YandereDev wants it to influence some events near the end of the story.

### Rivals

*Main Article: Rivals*
The rivals will never know that Ayano exists (aside from Megami Saikou) unless she befriends them. They will never know they have a competition. Ayano is fine with eliminating them as long as she gets her obsession, Senpai, in the end.

Ayano seems to believe that she is more worthy of Senpai's love than the rivals, because they could never love Senpai as they can, as evidenced from when she saw Osana Najimi.

### Students

*Main Article: Students*
Students are witnesses to crimes and acts committed by Ayano. If a student sees Ayano murder too many times, they will see her as a villain that needs to be defeated. They will continue to go to school to attempt to catch her in the middle of a crime, so that she can finally go to jail. Ayano seemingly doesn't care about the fates of the students, and will get rid of them if they get in her way.

According to YandereDev, Ayano's motivations for befriending students are purely manipulative. She most likely has never had any real friends.

If she were to befriend students in order to appear "normal", Ayano would likely not make friends with popular girls in order to not be noticed by too many people, for if she becomes very popular, students may stalk her in the future, complicating the act of murdering without witnesses. On the other hand, it would also be optimal for her to refrain from becoming an outcast, so she likely wouldn't make friends with delinquents or outcasts. She would make friends with the "in-between": People who aren't popular, aren't bullied, and aren't outcasts. In other words, she would become friends with normal, plain students, and/or wallflowers. However, as of the August 15th, 2019 Build, it is now possible to join the delinquents.

It is not possible for students to develop crushes on her. Hypothetically, if someone developed a crush on Ayano, she would not be affected. She would reject them while trying to "stay in character". On the outside, she would act like a shy schoolgirl who cannot accept their feelings. On the inside, however, she would think of them as an insect who needs to be swatted.

* Ayano has never sung a song outside of school anthems.
* Before she met Senpai, Ayano only ate to avoid an emaciated appearance. However, after she met him, she experienced a heightened sense of taste.
* Ayano has no preferred tastes regarding food, but if she was asked to name her "favorite" food, she would name Senpai's favorite food, because any food that brings Senpai happiness is a food she appreciates.
	+ On that note, Ayano's favorite color is the color that Senpai enjoys the most. However, her signature color is black.
* Ayano would most likely never become a club leader.
* Ayano would most likely never deface the Confession Tree, as she would love to confess to Senpai underneath it one day.

* There may be differences between Yandere-kun's and Ayano's characterizations. Yandere-kun would be characterized as sadistic and possessive.
