AIDS

## Sigil

The sigil can be found at the bottom of her hoodie, being the same sigil as Ebola-Chan's.

**AID-San** is an early character in the Ebola-Chan community and the blueprint of later versions of AIDS-based viruses. AID-San, alongside Malaria-Sama, were first introduced in one of Maple-Mocha's artworks, making Malaria and AIDS share a debut date. Despite this, AID-San never gained as much as popularity as Malaria-Sama did as she, by choice of some artists, ended up splitting into two characters in order to solve the question of her gender. As a result, AID-San had been largely forgotten by the virus community even though she was established as one of the very first virus girl OCs.

Just like her two friends, AID-San has a positive, cheerfully spirited personality with a slight bit of cheekyness in it. It is unlikely that this attitude can be broken, prompting this outlook as her personality at all times.

## Appearance

AID-San's design is surprisingly simplistic, her dress code consisting of an oversized hoodie / cardigan. At the very end of each end of her hoodie, a gold coloured layer can be found that marks the end of the hoodie. The hoodie extends to roughly half the length of her thighs. On both hips located on the hoodie is Ebola-Chan's sigil, indicating that AID-San shares this very same sigil as well. It is likely that AID-San wears a shirt underneath her oversized hoodie, as is seen by the bits of red around her neck. Her arm sleeves are very long, going beyond her arms and hands entirely and therefore hiding them. With her arms being completely encompassed by the sleeves and the shirt extending down to half her thighs, it can be safely assumed that the hoodie is indeed oversized. Lowering from the collar down are two fluffy balls colored red that reach halfway down over her chest connected to the hoodie. It is unknown whether AID-San wears something on the lower half of her body (such as a skirt). Moreover, AID-San wears thick, golden socks with green shoes.

Her hair is lime green, extending down to shoulder length. Aid-San has her pathogen located on the sides of her head, being disguised as buns / odangos. Each pathogen having two huge hairpins stuck in them. It is unknown if these hairpins are part of the pathogen itself or just something AID-San put in her hair. Unlike any of her friends, AID-San has heart-eyed pupils.

## Gender Dilemma

AID-San's gender had been up to debate for a long, excessive time. In a 4chan thread unrelated to current AID-San, a different design was thrown in with several users calling (the, in this case mentioned,) AIDS-Chan a trap. Despite this design being unrelated, the question whether AIDS-Chan was a boy or a girl had moved over to AID-San as well. In retrospect however, AID-San is confirmed to be a girl by her creator through the way her debut post was formulated. At the time though, this prompted a complete tear in the character philosophy of AID-San, going as far as splitting the character into two different AIDS designs, namely Eidzu-Kun and Eidzu-Sama.

## Trivia

* AID-San is the only character in the entire Ebola-Chan universe to have heart shaped pupils.
* She is the only character to have a suffix in her name, the -San part forming the S in AIDS.

1. ↑ AID-San's first design was created by Maple-Mocha, but Tumblr post dates cannot be retrieved from deleted accounts. Instead, it has to be done through reblogs which are always inaccurate with the original post time. Despite this, numerous reblogs indicate 7 October 2014 is the date. This is however not the oldest known date this image existed as the Windows 7-tan Facebook page uploaded it earlier despite not being the artist.
