Description
Ayano Sugiura, the 14-year-old vice president of Nanamori Middle School's student council, stands 159 cm tall. Born on January 20th, she has distinctive maroon hair usually tied in a long ponytail reaching her knees and striking purple eyes. She diligently wears her school uniform with black tights; her casual style favors modest, feminine fashion.
Ayano approaches her academic and council duties with serious responsibility. She views Kyōko Toshinō as a rival, resenting Kyōko's effortless top scores against her own rigorous studying. This rivalry conceals Ayano's romantic feelings for Kyōko, which she initially denies and struggles to express. Her interactions with Kyōko often involve bursting into rooms while loudly shouting "Toshinō Kyōko!", reflecting her flustered state. Around Kyōko, Ayano displays classic tsundere traits: reacting with embarrassment, stuttering, or defensiveness to compliments, close proximity during tests of courage, or hugs.
Her best friend, Chitose Ikeda, provides essential emotional support, advising Ayano on her feelings for Kyōko and facilitating their interactions; Ayano trusts Chitose deeply and frequently confides in her. Ayano shares a respectful, sisterly bond with Yui Funami, sometimes making unintentional puns involving wordplay like "Bakkin Buckingham" or "Nai Nai Niagara," which consistently amuse Yui. She maintains patient and supportive relationships with others, including younger council members and Sakurako Ōmuro, even when Sakurako steals her frequently stored pudding from the council refrigerator.
Throughout the series, Ayano gradually develops. Starting with intense secrecy about her romantic feelings, she slowly becomes more confident and honest. She shows reduced denial of her emotions, actively participates in activities like camping trips or amusement park visits with Kyōko, and subtly acknowledges their closeness. Their bond strengthens through shared positive experiences. Ayano's growth also includes increased willingness to engage socially without excessive embarrassment and supportive actions like comforting Sakurako or sharing desserts.
Additional traits include her popularity among female students, fondness for fashionable yet modest clothing, and a tendency toward excitement or nervousness in stimulating situations. She is the oldest in her grade level and the second oldest overall in the student council.
