Description
Born November 3, 2006, as Yume Ayai to Yuni Arai and an unnamed frequently absent father, her parents divorced due to his work commitments. Her childhood remained uneventful until middle school, where mutual attraction sparked a relationship with Mizuto Irido that dissolved before graduation. Shortly after, her mother remarried Mineaki Irido, merging households and making Mizuto her stepbrother.

Introverted in middle school, she wore glasses, styled pigtails, and sought refuge in detective novels with limited social ties. Determined to reinvent herself for high school, she studied fashion magazines, mastered makeup, switched to contact lenses, and wore her hair down. This transformation fueled a successful debut at Watanabe High School, earning popularity and a student council secretary position. Despite her stylish exterior, she retained core shyness and insecurity during stress or interactions with Mizuto.

Academically exceptional, she consistently topped her class, rivaling Mizuto in grades. She excelled in mathematics with double-digit national mock exam scores but struggled in athletics and household chores. Her hobbies centered on mystery novels—a shared interest that originally connected her to Mizuto. Quirks included poor map-reading skills, excitable "run wild" tendencies, and a fear of cockroaches.

Her dynamic with Mizuto remained pivotal. Despite establishing a rule against romantic entanglements as stepsiblings, their interactions featured belligerent sexual tension, snarky exchanges, and jealousy. She grew sensitive to his closeness with other girls, like Isana Higashira. Unresolved feelings surfaced through Freudian slips (calling him "Irido-kun") and using their first kiss date ("1027") as her phone password. Over time, she proactively expressed emotions, secretly rekindling their romance.

Beyond this, she maintained friendships: Akatsuki Minami as her romantic confidante, Kogure Kawanami as a frequent teaser about Mizuto, and a social circle including Isana Higashira, Sakamizu Maki, and Nasuhana Kanai. She respected stepfather Mineaki, noting his resemblance to Mizuto, and shared warmth with mother Yuni. Though aware stepsiblings could legally marry, she avoided voicing this.

Physically, she stood 158 cm tall with long black hair, brown eyes, and a D-cup bust accentuated by a high school growth spurt—drawing peer attention and occasional envy from Akatsuki. Minor trivia included being 30 minutes older than Mizuto, debunking his twin birth order myth, and owning a stuffed tanuki.
