Description
Aika Aikawa is a character from the anime Alice Gear Aegis Expansion. She is a young Actress, a fighter who pilots mechanical gear to combat mysterious alien threats. At fourteen years old, she stands 145 centimeters tall and has chestnut hair and purple eyes.

Aika comes from a family that runs a flower shop, an upbringing that has given her a deep appreciation for flowers and gardening as a hobby. This background influences her gentle and kind-hearted personality. She is known for being shy, timid, and sensitive, often crying easily whether she is happy or sad. Even when unfairly yelled at, her response is more likely to be sadness rather than anger. Despite this timidity and tearful nature, she possesses an inner strength that allows her to express her feelings and become serious when the situation demands it, even if she is speaking through her tears. Her love for cute things extends to her own combat equipment, which she often compares to flowers in a way that her friends find unusual.

Her primary motivation is to fulfill her role as an Actress for Murakumo Industries, fighting to protect others. She serves as a tutorial character who joins the team early on, indicating her welcoming and reliable nature as a companion. In the story, she is close friends with Ayaka and Mutsumi, who are also Actresses. Together, they form a group known as Verbena, which is a type of flower symbolizing family happiness. Her relationships are a key part of her character, as her friends often worry about her due to her emotional and crybaby tendencies.

In terms of combat abilities, Aika specializes in shooting battles with a rifle but is also effective in close combat, wielding a giant hammer. Her specific gear is named Sheep Song. Her weaponry includes the Flower Vase rifle, which can fire rapid shots and grenades, and the Twinkle Bouquet hammer, which creates a wide-area shockwave when slammed down. Her abilities are not solely offensive; she can also act as a healer for her team. Her special skill, Vernal Fluff, provides a healing effect over time and reduces damage taken. Her development as a character is seen in her determination to fight hard and overcome her shy nature to stand on the battlefield alongside her friends.
