Ayana Nijisaki is a character in the hybrid live-action and anime series Dragons of Wonderhatch. She is an attorney operating in the real-world segment of the story. Her professional role places her at the center of the legal matters concerning Akuta, a disillusioned dragonrider from the animated world of Upananta who has taken refuge in Japan. As the lawyer in charge of his case, she becomes one of his primary connections to the real world.

Beyond a strictly professional relationship, Ayana is also a close ally and friend to Akuta. She joins him in establishing an isolated island commune, a sanctuary intended to be a new nation separate from both his past in Upananta and the complexities of mainstream Japanese society. In this endeavor, she functions as his confidante and partner, supporting his decision to withdraw from his former duties as a leader of dragonriders. Her involvement in creating this refuge highlights her role as someone who facilitates Akuta's escape from his previous life, helping him build a defensive barrier against the call to return to the fading world of Upananta.

Her motivations are closely tied to her professional ethics and personal loyalty. As an attorney, she is dedicated to managing the legal intricacies of Akuta's situation, but her agreement to help him form a separatist commune suggests a deeper belief in his right to self-determination or a shared sense of disillusionment. She represents the adult, practical force in the real world that enables Akuta's retreat, embodying a perspective of building a new, stable reality rather than engaging with a collapsing fantasy one. Her actions place her in contrast to the younger protagonists, Nagi and Tyme, who are driven by a more idealistic need to bridge the two worlds and save Upananta.

Regarding her abilities, the primary information available points to her expertise in law, which she uses to navigate the real world's systems on Akuta's behalf. There are no detailed descriptions of any supernatural or combat abilities associated with her character. Her key relationships are defined by this connection to Akuta, serving as his lawyer and the co-founder of their shared sanctuary. Her development within the narrative is not extensively detailed, but her arc is one of supporting a retreat from heroism, prioritizing the construction of a new, safe existence over the chaotic remnants of an old one. She stands as a figure of pragmatic sanctuary in the real world, a stark contrast to the magical conflicts of Upananta.
