Orie Takarada runs Junk Shop Aya and is mother to Rikka Takarada. She possesses short brown hair, slightly downward-slanting orange eyes, and a distinctive eyeball-shaped earring on her left ear, referencing Midori from *Space Patrol Luluco*. Her typical attire includes a white short-sleeved shirt, a long apron patterned after G1 Megatron's abdomen, blue pants, white shoes, and a pen clipped to her apron. She stands 169 cm tall and was born on November 6.

Orie generally maintains a laid-back attitude but becomes expressively animated, especially around her daughter. She shows maternal concern, reminding Rikka not to use the shop's front door unnecessarily. Her caring nature extends beyond family, such as inviting Samurai Calibur to share a meal in an audio drama.

She and Rikka discovered the unconscious Yuta Hibiki outside their shop and brought him inside to recover, establishing Junk Shop Aya as a recurring location for the Gridman Alliance. Like most Tsutsujidai residents, her memories reset after kaiju attacks, erasing recollection of Gridman and destruction by the next day. A key background detail confirmed by director Akira Amemiya states she does not originate from Tsutsujidai or the Computer World, distinguishing her from entities like Alexis Kerib.

Orie features in the voice cast for the film *Gridman Universe*. She does not appear in the listed spin-off manga *Hime and Samurai*, *Neon Genesis Junior High Students Diary*, or *Gridman Dogma*.
