## Appearance

As a 12 year old, Ayamei had long wavy desaturated pink hair with a long ahoge that swoops to the left of her head, she had a long braid that hung on the left side of her shoulder, it reached down to her ankles, she wore a dark blue shirt and a light pink apron, she also wore some wide cuff boots and gloves, sense she was always working on weapons for her father. She possesses complete heterochromia her left eye is green while her right eye is blue, some say giving her the appearance of a cat.
As a Test subject Ayamei wore the standard female testing uniform which consisted of a light blue sleeveless hospital gown. Her hair was cut in uneven lengths the shortest laid just under her ears. She had a life crystal in her chest and the number 1730 was tattooed on her left shoulder. She has 32 stitch marks all together on her forearms and calves, she noticeably always had a connecter chain on her left ankle. She is sometimes seen wearing Kenta Asoki’s sweater on his request to keep her warm.

After becoming an incomplete Vampire, her pupils have small slits on them, suggesting Vampirism a lot like Kitamikado. She wears an off blue type of pink cuffed sleeved one piece type clothing that buttons up on the sides, some type of secure holder around her chest that goes under her arms, possibly to hold a pair Katana. She wears what looks to be dark blue Hakama and Harem mixed pants with light pink himo and decorated matching pink sides that stop just above her knees. She is noticeably always wearing either her kickboxing bandages on her legs or just normal bandages, Ayamei also wears bandages on her forearms to hide her scars from being tested on in Lab 20 she is never seen wearing shoes after he becomes a vampire. After escaping Lab 18 she couldn’t remove the connector chains on her left leg and right wrist. She infuses essence in them later.

## Personality

Ayamei is an altruistic, and rather hyper-empathetic girl with a rather strong sense of fairness and unwavering stamina, She is sensitive and has a kind soul. She is generally *quick to forgive and slow to anger*, Ayamei is shown to be calm , good natured and even *concerned for others that want to kill or hurt her*, she is known for being overly loyal, or , a people pleaser. Ayamei is very emotionally understanding of people, she meets and often tends to understand how people feel, often overthinking possible outcomes of how people feel. And how certain things she says will make people feel, often resulting in her staring off into space or staring at others and looking as Arike Matsumiya would often comment “medically high” or “Out of it”. Suggesting she’s stoned.

Ayamei is generally shy around people she doesn’t know but can warm up quickly, and can be very outgoing. Many characters mention how she can be very funny both on purpose and on accident.

despite her kind and caring attitude, Ayamei suffers from an inferiority complex she developled while in Setosuke Tsukumo’s care, so severe where she believed that she could not save her siblings from danger and she wasn’t good enough to do it. And almost didn’t go to save them, saying she wasn’t supposed to survive, and that other children should have survived instead of her. This all changed when Kobaki slapped some sense into her and told her she was of infinite worth, and the death of those children were no more sorrowful than hers.

## Abilities

**Angel**

Ayamei is able to heal small wounds on herself and others via pulling her wings out and placing her hand on said wound and using her Angelic healing essence.

Ayamei can ‘float’ or catch herself with her wings, though she couldn’t save herself because Raioku Yeir had sewn her wings into her back so she couldn’t heal while being tested on, her right wing is permanently broken due to her second death.

**Kitzukaza Disease**

Ayamei can take any blood substance, (whether it be hers or anyone's blood) and either heal or mold into a blood essence sword or other weapon. She was tested on and failed to bond with the parasite Ayao, Ayao died trying to attack her heart and Ayamei absorbed its essence leaving her with the ability to manipulate blood via her arms or anyone's blood if they have an open wound, (taking blood from her own arms/legs causes her left eye to bleed as a side effect of the killed parasite) and create weapons or heal herself or others. (Combining her healing essence, she still has) Essentially, she can heal with this Disease, though it is painful, and she is dying while she does it, which is what initially kills her when Raioku Yeir pushed her off the cliff.

**Vampire**

Ayamei has thick skin and is very flexible, she can grow limbs, muscle, bone and skin, and even her *head if it gets chopped off*, extremely fast almost instantly, she is said to be able to dislocate every bone in her body.

**Silent Stealth**

Ayamei is mentioned to have very silent breathing and is often described as being “Ninja Like” Many of the characters mention to forget she’s present because of how silent she can be when she’s just sitting there. She is able to sneak by demons and even the Monsters of Darkness.
