Description
Aya Tademaru is a young female character with pink hair, purple eyes, a height of 121 cm, a weight of 19 kg, and a birthdate of November 22. Initially seen in Kinshi-Go wearing a short-sleeved collared dress, her appearance changes significantly after moving to Tokyo. There, she adopts a high ponytail hairstyle (later depicted with short hair in manga) and an outfit consisting of a crop top, light blue denim shorts featuring spider web designs, an oversized pink jacket with a gold spiderweb motif, a burgundy choker, black socks, and red high-top sneakers.
Born as the result of experiments by her uncle, Akio Tademaru, to create the "Golden Web," Aya possesses the innate ability to produce threads that heal wounds and illnesses. She gained control of this power at age three, first using it to treat her mother Kumi's severe injuries. Raised in isolation within a Kinshi-Go basement, she endured physical abuse from Akio for disobedience. Her only companions were books she requested and her perpetually comatose mother, beside whom she slept when lonely.
Outwardly shy and innocent, Aya masks her true confident, loud, and occasionally bratty personality, particularly evident with her half-brother Shiki. Described as obnoxious yet kind, she willingly uses her healing abilities to help those in need. Traumatic experiences fostered maturity and intelligence beyond her years, leading to precocious behavior including romantic advances toward the oblivious Kabane Kusaka. Her primary ability involves generating healing threads from her body to cure injuries, illnesses, and neutralize poisons. She can consciously regrow her hair after cutting it to provide these threads to others. In Tokyo, she establishes a medical clinic, charging for treatments like healing a katanashi and covering patient expenses such as Yui's.
Key relationships define her journey:
- **Shiki Tademaru**: Initially idolizing him as a potential "White Knight" savior and feeling guilt over their mother's suffering, their dynamic shifts to a snarky, mocking sibling relationship after reunion, with Shiki expressing annoyance at her romantic pursuits.
- **Kumi Yamagumonoko**: Aya harbors deep love and guilt toward her mother, believing herself responsible for Kumi's pain. Kumi's awakening and acceptance bring her profound relief and happiness.
- **Akio Tademaru**: She holds profound disgust for her abusive uncle, who exploited both her and her mother as tools for his ambitions.
- **Kabane Kusaka**: Aya develops a persistent romantic interest in Kabane, frequently visiting his detective agency, declaring herself his girlfriend, and creating competitive tension with Kon.
Her narrative begins during the Shiki-centric storyline, aiding Kohachi Inugami and Akira by directing them to a healing spring. She confronts Akio to locate the cocoon containing her mother, revealing herself as the Golden Thread's source. After Kumi awakens, she moves to Tokyo, where her personality becomes openly assertive. She adopts a self-described "cool and sporty" fashion style, disdaining "frilly and childish" clothing, and frequents thrift shops. This outspoken nature and pursuit of Kabane generate mixed reactions, attributed to her emergence from repression and lack of maternal guidance. She balances running her clinic with persistent affections toward Kabane, often clashing with Shiki over her behavior.
