Ai Mori

**Ai Mori** is one of the main characters from the *Law of Ueki* anime and manga.

Ai is one of Ueki's classmates at Hinokuni Junior High School. She discovers Ueki's power early on, coming to a rather unusual conclusion and at first believing him to be an alien. Upon learning of the competition Ueki is in, she decides to back him up, to keep him from losing all his talents and disappearing because of it.

In the XP4 fics, Ai debuted in XP4 Heroes Coalition - AKB0048.

## **Appearance**

Ai is a teenage girl with a short bluish-green hair with matching eye colors and wears a red-rimmed glasses on top of her head. She wears a blue-green vest over a white short-sleeved uniform, dark-brown skirt, dark-blue socks and brown shoes.

## **Personality**

Her introduction marks her as a bit of a cloudcuckoolander as she stalks Ueki on the belief he was an invading alien but over time she instead becomes the straight woman to his own quirks. She remains a bit of an oddball when hamming up, though.

When in a casual mood, Ai is usually upbeat and friendly, although she is often shown with a very shallow side, initially believing that all power-users (with the exception of Ueki) are dangerous enemies that can't be trusted. Still, Ai cares deeply for her friends, especially Ueki.

### **XP4 Heroes Coalition - Neo-City Diaries**

## **Abilities**

At the start of the series, Ai possesses no special power, which forces her to rely on her own intelligence and adaptibility to survive against the enemy: during the battle with Kabara, she tricks him into wearing her cossack hat to defeat him.

Later on in the series, Ai is given a power by Inumaru, during Kosuke's fight with Seiichiro, which is the Power to Change Her Opponent into a Lover of Glasses, however, the limiting condition of Ai's power requires her opponent to perform a cutesy pose by raising up their right leg and putting both of their fists on their chin. Once this power is activated, Ai's opponent will becomes a lover of glasses, which Ai then uses to her advantage by threatening to break her glasses unless they knock themselves out. Both Li Ho and Anon agree that her power is possibility the strongest of all if not for the ridiculous condition.

Ai has also constantly shown to think on her feet to save herself from trouble -- for instance, during her battle with Memory, Ai managed to fool her into thinking that she has already figured out what her power is. Ai managed to stall enough time to eventually figure out what it is, and activates it by chance to defeat Memory.
