## Appearance

Aya is a very beautiful mouse girl with cream-colored fur, black nose and matching whiskers and waist-length hair and blue eyes; she dons a red floor-length gown with white, ruffled cuffs, gold hems and matching underskirt, a white petticoat underneath, a pink bow fixed to the right side of her chest and the square neckline with white ruffled trimmings that exposes her collarbones. She also wears a white ribbon in her hair in addition to a pair of opaque white tights and a pair of red Mary-Janes with a 2 1/2 heel on each shoe and a matching velvet choker with a gold heart-shaped charm. She also wears a pair of gold chandelier earrings with rubies and garnets dangling from each earring.

She tends to speak in a Scottish accent, unlike her mother (who talks in a British accent) and father (who talks in an Irish accent), respectively.

In her hypnotized state, she sports pupilless pink eyes until Wolf kisses her, after which she gains blue eyes.

## Personality

Aya is a very elegant, polite, demure, refined, graceful and ladylike girl with the penchant of curtsying whenever she greets a stranger. After Wolf frees her from her trance, even though she still retains her excellent manners, she realizes that Mayor Ulysses Shapoklyak from Shapoklyakville is a very cruel man who has treated his people terribly (even to the point that a fed up witch named Valeriya Volkova puts a curse on the whole town, during which the townspeople end up being mindlessly happy forever).

## In the Fanfic

Aya’s only appearance is in “The Town of the Damned”, where she’s first seen stepping out of the carriage with both of her parents in tow. Afterwards, she politely greets Mitya and Ludmilla, not really paying much attention to Wolf. When Mitya promptly ends up smitten with her, Aya invites him to her mansion, where he gets hypnotized in his process of getting closer to her. A few chapters later, however, Wolf kisses him as well as Aya and her parents, respectively, freeing the mice from their trance; afterwards, Aya, alongside Mitya, Motya and Ludmilla, help Wolf free Leopold and Suzanna from the similar trance. In the end, despite Mitya offering to take her with him Russia in his process of leaving Shapoklyakville, she politely turns him down, saying that she needed to help her parents watch over the town in case Mayor Ulysses Shapoklyak causes more trouble; despite being saddened, Mitya understands this and gives her a pink scrunchie as a token of their love for each other (which she accepts), after which they exchange a farewell kiss with each other prior to going their separate ways. Although Mitya immediately stops remembering her upon leaving the already vanishing town, Aya will still remember everything that he had done for her as well as his love for her, thanks to the scrunchie that he gave her.

## Trivia

Aya may be a reference of (and even share the same name with) Aya Drevis from the horror video game called “Mad Father”; her gown is inspired by Aya Drevis’s doll form in one of the game’s two bad endings.
