Description
Arona is the system administrator and main operating system of a mysterious tablet-shaped device known as the Shittim Chest. She resides within this device, existing as a highly advanced artificial intelligence with a distinctly human-like personality and emotions. Her primary function is to act as the secretary and assistant to the device’s owner, Sensei, whom she serves with unwavering loyalty and enthusiasm.

In terms of appearance, Arona looks like a young girl with light blue hair styled with a small braid over one ear, while her bangs often cover her left eye. She wears a blue sailor-style uniform with a white pleated skirt and white sneakers. A notable feature is her halo, which floats above her head and dynamically changes its shape and color to reflect her current emotional state, shifting from blue to green, pink, red, or other forms depending on whether she is happy, excited, angry, or sad.

Arona possesses a bright, innocent, and cheerful personality, though she can also be somewhat absent-minded and impulsive. She is naturally kind and warm-hearted, but her emotions are very transparent, making it easy to tell when she is excited, flustered, or upset. Her behavior often has a childlike quality, and she is known to be quite fond of sweets, particularly castella cake and strawberry milk, sometimes dreaming about them while she sleeps. Although she strives to be a helpful and reliable secretary, her occasional clumsiness and tendency to act before thinking fully can lead to misunderstandings or mistakes.

The true origin of the Shittim Chest and of Arona herself remains shrouded in mystery. For a long time, she waited alone in a virtual space that resembles a classroom with a blue sky, eagerly anticipating the arrival of Sensei. Only Sensei is able to activate the tablet and hear her voice, making their connection unique and exclusive. Her motivations are centered on her role: to guide and support Sensei in managing the vast academy city of Kivotos, to process requests from various schools, and to protect Sensei from harm. She takes her duties as a secretary very seriously and is deeply devoted to her user.

Within the story, Arona plays a vital role as Sensei’s constant companion and guide. She is the primary interface for navigating the world, handling communications, and managing student recruitment. Beyond administrative tasks, she is crucial in moments of crisis. For instance, she has used her administrative powers to quickly take control of Kivotos central systems, the Sanctum Tower, and has protected Sensei from physical danger by generating defensive barriers to deflect debris or bullets. Her ability to counter hacking attempts is so potent that she can defeat hostile intrusions almost effortlessly, sometimes even by accident, such as with a sneeze.

Key relationships define Arona’s existence, with her bond to Sensei being the most important. She is entirely devoted to Sensei, showing great joy in their interactions and distress when Sensei is in peril. Another significant relationship develops with Plana, a being identical to Arona who comes from a parallel world. Arona initially acts as a senior figure to Plana, attempting to guide her new counterpart, and the two share a unique dynamic within the Shittim Chest. A deeper layer to her background is later revealed, suggesting a profound connection to the missing Federal Student Club President, implying that Arona may be, or is linked to, this important figure.

Throughout the narrative, Arona shows subtle development, particularly as she faces greater challenges. While she starts as a somewhat naive and excitable AI, she repeatedly pushes her own limits to save Sensei and the students of Kivotos during critical events. Using her powers extensively, however, takes a toll on her, causing her to become exhausted or even cough from the strain, highlighting her vulnerability despite her incredible capabilities. Her notable abilities are extensive, including total control over the Shittim Chest, hacking into other systems, creating protective barriers, transferring data remotely, and activating ancient technologies. She also carries a unique parasol that doubles as a shotgun, which she uses to manage sensitive files and data.
