**Ayana Amamoto** is a second-year student at Kishimai High School who has an extreme hatred toward all men to the point of being violent towards them. After she awakens to her Catharsis Effect within the Miyabi Hot Springs, she joins the Go-Home Club.

## Appearance

Ayana has shoulder-length brown hair and eyes.

She wears the Kishimai High School uniform, albeit modified. She has a two-toned colored ribbon around her neck collar, colored purple and pink. Additionally, she wears a black blouse that comes down to her calves, which also has a half-flower design in white at its top. Her shoes have white laces, and she also wears white stockings.

Ayana's Catharsis Effect weapon is a large black disk with a handle at the end and four prongs on the other end. Below the handle, there is a large white flower symbol, though this is not as visible in the in-game model as it is in the illustration. She wields this stun gun with her right hand and steadies it with her left. In battle, her Catharsis Effect is usually surrounded by arcs of electricity.

Her Catharsis Effect items are white gloves with a single black stripe around the tops, a visor over her eyes, and a headpiece with two prongs at the back of her head. Her Catharsis Effect also shreds her sleeves where they meet the gloves, though no other alterations occur otherwise.

## Personality

*"Also... the Hidden? Couldn't that be something even you don't want to know?"***The following content contains spoilers.** Please proceed at your own risk.
Due to an incident that led to her entering Mobius, Ayana possesses an extreme fear of men to the point of turning violent. She cannot stand being in the presence of one and will either scream in terror or forcibly remove them from her presence. Her overall opinion of males is also very harsh.

That being said, she does not go out of her way to be hateful of every male she meets. Some exceptions, such as the male Protagonist, she is comfortable being around though she does request that he keeps his distance. She also has nothing negative to say about Shogo Satake, as she understands he shares a similar, but less severe, fear of someone of the opposite gender. In her Character Episode, the protagonist and Aria also convince her to try talking to Izuru Minezawa and Kensuke Hibiki, and she comes out of those conversations with more respect for both of them.

Ayana is otherwise a very friendly girl who enjoys spending her time with others where she noticeably enjoys spending her time with the other female members of the Go-Home Club; *especially* the female protagonist that she even expresses a romantic interest in her.

## History

*"Also... the Hidden? Couldn't that be something even you don't want to know?"***The following content contains spoilers.** Please proceed at your own risk.
Six years before entering Mobius, Ayana was a member of the Uzume Corps. Underground Idol Group, studying under her friend Himari Minamide. At this point, she still had a fear of men, but it wasn't quite as severe. She became an idol in order to get over her fear. She initially had good memories with Himari and even planned on making a big debut. That all changed when after an event, Koki Tadokoro appeared and brutally attacked Himari with a metal bat. Ayana was witness to this, but was too shocked and horrified to intervene.

The attack worsened Ayana's fear of men to the point where she could no longer interact with her father or brother properly. Out of consideration for her feelings, her brother married his girlfriend earlier than planned and her father moved into a separate apartment. He often sent her letters since he couldn't speak with her directly, but Ayana couldn't find it in herself to reply to them. She eventually heard from a friend that her father had collapsed and Ayana had believed this to be her fault entirely that she eventually encountered μ.

When she arrived in Mobius, everyone appeared to be female to her and she lived a blissful life of ignorance like everyone else, but she felt that there was someone she needed to write back to. This served as the catalyst to her discovering the truth of Mobius and became a target to the Digiheads.

## Catharsis Effect

Being a tank and a heavy hitter, Ayana packs quite the punch all while taking hits and playing support for the rest of the team with healing and inflicting Stun on the enemies. However due to the nature of her Catharsis Effect, she has to get up close and personal with the enemy in order to attack. Here are her Catharsis Effect Skills and Support Skills.

## Flower language (Hanakotoba)

*"Also... the Hidden? Couldn't that be something even you don't want to know?"***The following content contains spoilers.** Please proceed at your own risk.
### Japanese Snake Gourd

This flower is directly associated with hatred of men, but can also mean sincerity.

### Carnation

Carnation is associated with motherly affection and deep love.

According to a Christian legend, carnations originally appeared after the Crucifixion of Christ, growing in the spots where the Virgin Mary's tears fell to the earth.

Carnation flowers are a symbol of the mother's day.

### Ties to the character

Motherly affection can refer to Ayana always trying to protect and warn girls of the club from men. It can also mean "Mother" as a female gender as a whole. Hatred of men clearly refers to her trauma.

## Etymology

* The name **Ayana** means "color" (彩) (**aya**) and "voice" (声) (**no**).
* Ayana's surname **Amamoto** means "heaven, sky" (天) (**ama**) and "base, root, origin, source" (本) (**moto**).

## Trivia

* While The Caligula Effect: Overdose uses Heterophobia to describe Ayana's trauma, it would be more accurate to describe it as Androphobia.
