Description
Hyatt is a central character and a combatant for the secretive ideological organization known as ACROSS. Her designation, Hyatt, is a code name linked to the Hyatt Hotel, following the series' pattern of naming characters after real-world buildings and places. Her true name is never revealed, though she adopts the alias Ayasugi Chihaya when interacting with neighbors, claiming a general weakness with foreign languages.
In terms of personality, Hyatt presents a stark contrast to her exuberant and often reckless senior colleague, Excel. She is typically quiet, polite, calm, and possesses a more sensible and thoughtful disposition, often acting as the voice of reason. This demeanor parodies the traditional archetype of the frail, consumptive heroine with a weak constitution. Despite her gentle nature, she is a loyal member of ACROSS and follows orders, though she has demonstrated a capacity for independent thought and even a subtle rebellious streak, such as when she deliberately disobeyed a direct order from her leader to help Excel.
Hyatt's most defining and absurd characteristic is her extreme physical fragility. She suffers from a mysterious, unexplained condition that causes her to die frequently and then revive after a short period. These deaths can be triggered by the most mundane of events, including shock from an elevator power outage, cold shower water, being dried in the sun, or even simply dying in her sleep. Her revival is similarly inexplicable; while sometimes depicted as requiring a blood transfusion, she often resurrects without any medical intervention, leaving even the show's medical professionals baffled. This cycle of death and revival is played for comedic effect, reminiscent of other parody characters in fiction, though her calm and quiet nature distinguishes her from similar archetypes.
A constant companion to her illness is the tendency to cough up blood, which is highly toxic. Her blood has been shown to be lethal to fish and other individuals who come into contact with it. To manage her condition, she carries and consumes her own medication, though this medicine is itself extremely potent and poisonous to anyone else, causing severe illness in ordinary people who ingest it. Ironically, while vulnerable to almost everything else, she seems to have a high resistance to firearms and does not typically die from gunshot wounds.
Hyatt's role in the story is as a field operative for ACROSS, carrying out missions to conquer F. She is notably a favorite of the organization's leader, Lord Ilpalazzo. He treats her with far more praise and leniency than Excel, even promoting her despite her junior status. There are hints of a potential romantic interest from Ilpalazzo towards her, though whether this is genuine or a figment of Excel's imagination remains ambiguous. Hyatt herself appears largely oblivious to his interest.
Her key relationships include a close, if often chaotic, partnership with Excel, whom she addresses as senior. Living together in an apartment, their dynamic balances Excel's hyperactivity with Hyatt's calm passivity. Hyatt is also the object of affection for their neighbor, Watanabe, a member of the rival City Security Agency. He knows her by her alias, Miss Ayasugi, and his romantic advances are a recurring gag to which she is more aware than she is of Ilpalazzo's interest.
The character's backstory differs between adaptations, contributing to her mystery. In the anime, she is suggested to be a princess from Mars who arrived on Earth in a stasis capsule aboard a ship of the alien Puchuus. In contrast, the original manga portrays her as a more ordinary individual who simply answered ACROSS's recruitment advertisement and was hired despite her constant hemoptysis and fainting spells. In this version, a later volume hints at a scientific explanation, with Ilpalazzo noting that a genetic substrate he implanted within her might be deficient, which could be the source of her condition.
Throughout the narrative, Hyatt undergoes some development, most notably in a manga arc where she loses her memory after a gas explosion and lives peacefully with Watanabe. However, her memories eventually return, reinstating her loyalty to ACROSS. Her abilities, beyond her bizarre resilience to death, are few but notable. She possesses a placid and perceptive intelligence that often allows her to assess situations more clearly than her peers. Her frail nature and toxic blood are so inherent to her character that they serve as accidental weapons or hazards, cementing her role as a unique and unpredictable element within the series' chaotic world.
