Orie Takarada operates Junk Shop Aya, a secondhand store in Tsutsujidai City, while raising her daughter Rikka. Her appearance features short brown hair, downward-slanted orange eyes, and a distinctive eyeball-shaped earring on her left ear—a homage to Midori from Space Patrol Luluco, reflecting their shared voice actress. She typically wears a white short-sleeved shirt, a long apron patterned after G1 Megatron's abdomen, blue pants, and white shoes, often securing a pen to her apron. Generally laid-back yet expressive, Orie occasionally nags Rikka about practical matters like using the front door. Her maternal care extends beyond family, such as inviting Samurai Calibur for a meal in an audio drama. After discovering Yuta Hibiki unconscious near her shop with Rikka, she sheltered him, inadvertently establishing her store as the Gridman Alliance and Neon Genesis Junior High Students' gathering spot due to its housing of the Junk computer. Like all Tsutsujidai residents, she forgets kaiju incidents post-attack because of the city's reset. Her background includes an unseen husband and an older son—Rikka's brother—who sparked rumors of being Rikka's boyfriend in *Gridman Universe*. Profile records note her height as 169 cm, birthdate as November 6, 1975 (age 43 during events), and blood type B. Director Akira Amemiya confirmed she is not native to Tsutsujidai or the Computer World, unlike entities like Alexis Kerib. Across *SSSS.Gridman*, sequels, spin-offs, and related media, her role remains consistently supportive without significant development. Her contributions center on the shop's plot relevance and minor maternal interactions.
