Aoba Suzukaze is a high school graduate who joins the video game company Eagle Jump as a character designer, inspired by the Fairies Story game series created by the company. She displays a cheerful and earnest personality, remaining very polite while also revealing a childish side, especially concerning her favorite games. Her small stature often leads others to mistake her for a middle school student.

Hardworking and loyal to her friends, Aoba earns the respect and trust of both colleagues and superiors through her earnestness. She occasionally teases her close friends, a habit Hifumi Takimoto gently encourages her to curb. Her initial lack of experience in drawing and general life skills serves as a primary setback, but she dedicates significant effort to improve.

Her professional journey presents increasingly difficult challenges. In her first season, she learns that achieving goals requires enduring effort and facing rejection, which becomes taxing as deadlines approach, leading to overtime and weekend work. This strain culminates in a fight with her best friend, Nene Sakura, though they later reconcile. In the second season, she faces her first conflict with her role model, Ko Yagami, which shatters her confidence and highlights the gap between their artistic skills, leading to emotional breakdowns. Despite these hardships, she consistently perseveres, inspiring those around her.

Her relationships with coworkers are significant. She admires Ko Yagami as her idol, having been inspired to become a character designer by Ko's work on the first Fairies Story game. She becomes nervous and blushes after witnessing Ko's panties and feels embarrassment when Hifumi hugs her. Her presence and positive attitude profoundly impact her colleagues. Hifumi Takimoto, initially very shy and secluded, gradually gains confidence and takes on greater challenges, influenced by Aoba's encouragement and friendly words. Hifumi messages Aoba, wishing she will continue to be kind.

Yun Iijima is motivated by Aoba's hard work and admits that seeing Aoba and Hajime Shinoda work so hard inspires her to take on challenges herself. Yun also becomes a confidante for Aoba, providing a listening ear during conflicts. Aoba's charm and optimism affect Umiko Ahagon, who initially appears strict and unfriendly but opens up and bonds with Aoba, helping form connections between Umiko and other characters like Ko and Nene.

Her relationship with her childhood friend, Nene Sakura, remains important despite a temporary conflict due to work pressures. Nene later joins Eagle Jump as a programmer, and their friendship continues.

In later developments, her determination and work ethic motivate Ko Yagami to leave Eagle Jump and further her skills in France, as Ko feels inspired by Aoba's drive to improve. Aoba continues to work harder after Eagle Jump's latest title is well-received.

In official illustrations, she is shown drawing a heart on a window while alone with Hifumi in a restaurant. The manga concludes with a time skip showing a new employee at Eagle Jump, mirroring Aoba's own beginning.
