Aoba, a second-year drama club student at Cherryton Academy, serves as a steady mediator among peers, balancing his role as a voice of reason with a quiet intensity. His bald eagle features blend snowy head and wing plumage with rich brown chest feathers, accented by a sharp yellow beak distinct from real-world counterparts. He adheres to seasonal uniforms—structured vests and ties in winter, crisp polo shirts in summer—mirroring his disciplined nature.

Once championing the belief that carnivores must consume meat to honor their instincts, Aoba’s resolve fractured during a Black Market visit. Though he initially urged peers to treat the market as a test of identity, he recoiled at the sight of meat, haunted by herbivore classmates’ faces. Fleeing the scene, he abandoned his former ideology, cultivating empathy for carnivores torn between instinct and societal judgment.

Principled yet adaptable, Aoba employs ethical reasoning to defuse conflicts, notably between Legoshi and Bill. His relationship with Bill evolves from stern criticism of the latter’s meat consumption to quiet solidarity, recognizing Bill’s hidden insecurities. This pivot underscores Aoba’s deepening grasp of carnivores’ emotional burdens.

At the Meteor Festival, he assisted backstage drama club operations, later observing Legoshi’s defense of Haru amid the Shishigumi chaos. When the club faced suspension, he collaborated with Bill and Els to sustain its spirit, demonstrating steadfast loyalty. Beyond academia, Aoba pursues flight training, aspiring to earn a license—a goal symbolizing his desire to transcend grounded constraints.

A pragmatic problem-solver, he upholds rules while navigating moral gray areas, acting as a stabilizing force. His arc traces the tension between conformity and conscience, striving to bridge societal divides through empathy and measured compromise.
