Description
Aya Maruyama leads and sings for the idol band Pastel*Palettes while attending Hanasakigawa Girls' High School as a second-year student; she later enrolls at Yotsuba Women's University. Her childhood dream of becoming an idol, sparked by Marmalade’s lead singer Ayumi, culminated after three years of rigorous trainee preparation before securing her role.
She sports pastel pink shoulder-length hair with wavy ends, straight-cut bangs featuring a slight off-center split, and large pink eyes. Typically wearing her hair loose, she switches to pigtails for performances or training. Her feminine fashion favors soft colors, floral patterns, and accessories like necklaces or bangles. Seasonal outfits include a frilly white spring dress with pink florals, winter’s off-shoulder white sweater paired with a miniskirt and thigh-high boots, and a summer striped dress with lace details.
Outwardly cheerful, high-spirited, and bubbly, she radiates unselfish kindness. Inwardly, sensitivity and craving for recognition drive her to constantly monitor online opinions about herself. Public speaking triggers nervousness, causing improvisational struggles during MC segments, while her emotional nature leads to frequent crying. She upholds a strict senpai-kouhai dynamic with Kasumi, determined to be a dependable role model. Diligently practicing idol poses and excelling at selfies, she often carries a selfie stick. Academically, she wrestles with mathematics and Japanese studies despite her resolve.
After positive reception to a joint magic act with Kasumi at a New Year’s event, she secretly enrolls in magic trick classes. She maintains a regularly updated personal blog. In the Pastel Life spin-off, disguised shopping trips with bandmate Chisato to evade fan recognition inevitably fail, forcing retreats before reaching destinations. She aids Hina’s acting by advising her to channel real-life sisterly experiences.
She dislikes horror and octopus, favors omelette rice and hamburgers, and crafts meticulous guidebooks—like a fast-food job manual for Kanon. A younger sister shares her close, positive bond.
