**Kizuna Chieda** (稚枝 絆, *Chieda Kizuna*) is a character in *AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES - nirvanA Initiative*.

The daughter of the uber-rich Chieda family. A senior at Sekiba High, she is a member of the same dance club as Iris: she's even won a contest before. Kizuna is good friends with Iris. Through Iris she is also friends with Mizuki.

## Design

Kizuna is a young woman with long, messy brown hair and brown eyes. She wears a white knit beanie with a pink design on the side, and a matching white button-down jacket with pink accents on the sleeves. Underneath, she wears her school uniform, which consists of a white collared shirt, red tie, black dress with buttons down the front, and gray tights. Kizuna also wears black loafers and carries a pink backpack shaped like an anatomical heart.

## Personality

Kizuna is a sweet, young, polite woman with a passion for singing and dancing. Having been raised in an extremely wealthy family, she speaks in a very polite mode of speech. She has a fondness for fairy tales, particularly ones that involve princesses being rescued by princes. She consistently shows respects to others, even people who bother her; however, she can be blunt and direct when needed, particularly with Lien. She is notably cold to Lien, whose stalker-like behavior initially makes her very uncomfortable, but is willing to give him a chance if he agrees to respect her boundaries and be friends before even considering pursuing a relationship.

She has a close relationship to Mizuki: due to her close resemblance to her foster sister, she treats the younger girl as if she was her elder sister.

After losing the ability to walk, she becomes deeply depressed and frustrated with her situation, as her dream to become a dancer is no longer possible. She becomes somewhat fearful that her friends, particularly Lien, are merely giving her attention out of pity or feelings of guilt relating to the accident, and that she is a burden to them. However, she doesn't truly believe this and such notions are born out of frustration and her own depression. Despite this, she largely retains her kind, forthright, and straightforward personality, and eventually finds the determination to decide her own destiny. After six years of friendship, with Lien looking after her the entire time, she's grown fond of him, despite their rough first encounter.

In spite of her sweet, demure appearance, Kizuna does have a violent side.
