Ayane Misuno

**Ayane Misuno** is the deuteragonist of *ANNO: Mutationem*. She is the best friend of Ann Flores and a hacker who lends her support throughout Ann's mission. She primarily interacts with her through a hologram projected by the Paipai drone she gifts Ann at the start of the game.

## Background

Shortly before being kidnapped by the The Circle Consortium, Ayane is suspiciously somber and asks Ann unusual questions, Moreover, she is allegedly worried about Ann getting "bored" without Ayane and apologizing for her tendencies of speaking too frequently. Ann realizes something is wrong and shortly after, Ayane is physically restrained and the Consortium shuts off her Paipai drone connection.

In the final chapter of the game, the Circle Consortium kidnaps Ayane and then eventually holds her hostage so that they could ensure Ann's cooperation in their plans. Ann doesn't like that Ayane is being kept in the medical ward, and dislikes it even more when she discovers that Ayane has been living as luxuriously as ever with The Circle Consortium, providing her both a personal doctor and a gourmet chef.

Around the end of the game, when Ayane reunites with Ann Ayane takes the time to aggressively hug Ann in a manner that looks like she's grabbing Ann's breasts. Due to Ayane's height difference, her face ends up touching Ann's chest.

## Personality

Despite her intellect, Ayane acts very childlike, contrasting with her partner Ann's Introverted demeanor. She is energetic, bubbly and a spontaneous person who talks in tones, gives nicknames to almost everyone she meets and isn't afraid to express how she is feeling to anyone around her. Even though she does not appear in action when Ann is doing a mission, she still expresses herself to the fullest using the holograms in the PaiPai Droid, and in the monitors when the holograms are not in use. She is extremely helpful to Ann and her family, giving her clues, marking locations and using her connections to help Ann reach her goals.

A very well-known trait with Ayane is her massive infatuation with Ann, as throughout the game, she calls her "Darling" much to Ann's chagrin (When told to stop, she suggests other names such as "Baby", "Honey", and "Lover"). She cheers on Ann as she battles enemies and will occasionally ask for a kiss that is usually denied or even being perverted, telling her she can join Ann in the shower since the droid is waterproof or groping her. However, despite the schoolgirl crush, Ayane is a genuine friend to Ann, being very concerned for her when she takes damage or when transforming and will empower her when she's at her worst. She gives her the best interest in mind such as when she told her to get a dress for the night club or pleading with her to take a break as the entangilitis gave her a massive headache.

## Illness

She has a certain condition that keeps her out from going outside the mansion. She's regularly gets treatments her butler in order to recover from this condition.

A symptom of this condition include her always having to sit a wheelchair, even though she never explicitly stated to be a paraplegic and wheelchair-bound. Another symptom includes the necessity to give her the Paipai drone after 2 years of friendship with Ann, and having been physically present in past photos.

Despite all of this, however, her hologram is very acrobatic and active, capable of standing up, jumping, and crawling, though this makes Ayane take advantage of not having to physically move around.
