"*Oh, it looks like it’s going to rain…*"
―Katami Aika
Katami Aika (形見愛歌) is a second year student at Kamiyama High School. She is a member of [].

## Background

Aika is an independent hobbyist artist. More often than not, she prefers to spend time alone outside when it’s rainy and be away from other people, not speaking much. Is there a reason behind her drizzly solitude?*—Profile*❝❞

In middle school, Aika was apart of a small circle of friends that slowly grew larger over the years. She was an honor student as well, but struggled to keep up in her studies, leading her to slowly lose her self-confidence. In her third year of middle school, she felt distant from everyone else, though she tried to keep her cheerful demeanor as best she could. By the time she reached high school, she gave up on keeping contact with her old friends, thinking that they would all be better without her there as she believed she didn’t belong. As a result, most of her happiness in life was depleted.

However, since then, she has secretly hoped she could find her enjoyment in life again- even if she was alone. Feeling a connection with music, she listened to songs and tried singing, even if to no avail.

## Appearance

Aika has dark maroon eyes and grayish-purple hair that reaches down to her waist. Her bangs are sideswept to the right, and the left side is tied into a braid. The rest of it is tied together with a dark red ribbon. In her casual outfit, she wears a plain white turtleneck with dark baggy pants and crocs. Her voice is solemn and wistful.

## Personality

Aika is reserved, distant, and doesn’t say much. She does not speak about her troubles to others as she believes it would be a burden, and she doesn’t consider herself to be close enough with anyone at school to talk to them about personal matters. She prefers to be alone.

Aika is nostalgic about the past, but knows that nothing will wait for her anymore if she dwells on it too much. She does not have much confidence in her abilities, and doesn’t expect much either of what comes out of them.

## Etymology

Katami (形見): Kata (形) means “shape” and Mi (見) means “to see”. When put together, they mean ” keepsake”, “memento”.

Aika (愛歌): Ai (愛) means “love”, and Ka (歌) means “song”. Together they mean “love song”.

## Relationships

Hatsune Miku: As the creator of the Rainy SEKAI, Miku knows that Aika must find her true feelings, and often comes to Aika while it’s raining and they sing together. She hopes that Aika will find someone that can help her from her depression, as Aika’s feelings were enough to create the SEKAI and it’s iterations of herself and Len. Aika taught Miku how to sew small objects, especially mini treats made of felt.

(Their trust ranks are: Memento, Rainy Solitude, and Pluviophilia.)

Kagamine Len: Len often comforts Aika, unlike Miku who watches her, often sitting by her side or offering her a hug until she leaves the SEKAI. Len usually sings with Aika under the moon. Aika usually brings small objects into the SEKAI, and Len likes to inspect them.

(Their trust ranks are: Warm Hugs, Sewing the Missing Threads, and Selenophilia.)
