Orie Takarada operates Junk Shop Aya in Tsutsujidai, dealing in secondhand goods while residing there with her daughter Rikka. She has short brown hair, downward-slanted orange eyes, and wears a distinctive eyeball-shaped earring on her left ear—a nod to Midori from "Space Patrol Luluco" via shared voice actress ties. Her typical outfit includes a white short-sleeved shirt, a long apron patterned after G1 Megatron’s abdomen from Transformers, blue pants, white shoes, and a pen clipped to her apron.
Her personality merges a relaxed disposition with expressive reactions. She occasionally nags Rikka over minor domestic issues but consistently shows maternal care, such as inviting Samurai Calibur for a meal in an audio drama. Unlike antagonist Alexis Kerib, she originates from Tsutsujidai, not the Computer World.
Key events unfold primarily in "SSSS.Gridman": she and Rikka discovered Yuta Hibiki unconscious outside their shop and took him in. Their store became the Gridman Alliance’s gathering spot due to housing "Junk," the computer containing Gridman. Like most Tsutsujidai residents, her memories reset after kaiju attacks, erasing these events. During a school trip arc, the Neon Genesis Junior High Students purchased the Junk computer from her to deliver it to Yuta. Statistically, she stands 169 cm tall, was born November 6, 1975, and has blood type B.
