Aisha Rosen

Aisha Rosen (アイシャ・ローゼン, Aisha Rōzen) was a cold and aloof Blondy that ruled Tanagura. He was also the owner of the furniture Tomass and the former pet Stein.

## Description

Even considering the ice-cold hauteur that came naturally to all Blondies, Aisha stood apart with his complete lack of affect. He was a pragmatist that usually spoke unambiguously, in an unemotional tone, and only about such things that were of import to him. Occasionally though, he could say something quite unexpected.

Aisha was mistakenly gendered as female in the official translation of volumes 7 and 8.

## Function

Aisha was the overlord of Tanagura. He had the final word in anything to do with it, except Eos, which was under Orphe’s jurisdiction.

His duties also included hosting banquets for foreign dignitaries in Parthia, as well as travelling off-world on diplomatic missions as a representative of Tanagura.

Iason needed Aisha’s approval to bring Riki to Apatia.

## As Stein's Owner

There had once been "friction" between Aisha's pet, Stein and Riki. Whenever Riki came into his field of view, Stein would go after him, and get beaten. The one-sided antagonism was so strong that Raoul termed it "pheromone-triggered aggression," a chemically induced biophysical chain reaction. Aisha, on the other hand, believed the data alone was insufficient to explain the phenomenon. He believed that Riki was evincing an undiscovered factor in some inexplicable form. The sheer strength of the infection intrigued him, though he was always sure to express his theories using vaguer language.

Because of this, Aisha and Iason often had to meet in Orphe’s office. Eventually, the "legendary" feud escalated to Stein attacking Riki. Aisha’s action was decisive. Stein was immediately disposed of, and despite his high rank at mating parties and good potential to secure Seed Rights, Aisha sent him to a Midas brothel.

## Attitude towards Riki

Aisha made no effort to hide his disdain for Riki. He openly called Riki’s effect on everyone in Eos a “malignant virus corrupting this perfectly scripted, controlled world”.

He viewed the mongrel as nothing more than a vicious and ferocious beast and a troublemaker. He simply found Iason’s bad taste barely tolerable, but also mostly removed himself from the whole situation.

Like the other Blondies however, as loath as he would be to admit it, he was somewhat fascinated by the uniqueness of this impostor. But probably not enough to actually want him around.

## The Simon Incident

Aisha got pulled into the issue between Simon and Riki through his furniture, Tomass. Tomass was the Apex Level floor leader, which meant that he presided over all furniture. Because of this, Simon came to him with his issue, who in turn went to Aisha.

Although his authority in Eos was limited, he, together with Orphe, managed to pressure Iason into agreeing to remove Riki from the salon for a period of time, to let things settle.

In the aftermath of the Simon Incident, he was again present with Orphe and Raoul. He seemed especially concerned about the effect Riki’s knowledge of furniture’s origin would have on furniture themselves. He feared that the threat of their origin becoming known to the pets would prevent the furniture from operating at full capacity.

Other than that, he mostly left things to Orphe to settle, though he was undoubtedly supportive of the plan to extract Riki’s memories and mindwipe him. But since Iason predictably outright refused, Aisha allowed him to move Riki out of Eos, to Apatia.
