## Personality

Ayame is an oni who seems to talk to humans as if they are below her. However in spite of this, she is friendly, playful and treats her audience equally. Even sometimes looking up to humans she respects such as Houshou Marine to where she had difficulties approaching her.

Ayame is infamous for her approachability and her rather sensitive funny bone, as it's very easy to make her let loose a cute little giggle from the slightest amusement. She will laugh when she's up to no good, chuckle at her observations on things, giggle at her mistakes and burst at her chat's cheap jokes. Bad Japanese puns are especially her weakness as she starts giggling and laughing to where she can't contain herself anymore, bashing her table uncontrollably and needing to stop whatever she's doing just to let it loose.

She can be very analytical of new people in a social context, oftenly taking 5 separate encounters before she collects enough "data" to know how to approach someone, which can sometimes cause analytical meltdowns when around people who prefer to know someone ASAP (like Marine). She also possesses lightning quick reflexes rivaling Minato Aqua as can be seen when she plays shooters like Apex Legends.
