Airi Ban

Airi Ban is a character from Devil Survivor 2 and a student at Nagoya High School. Airi is a cold character, often frank and unreserved about giving her opinions on matters or the people at hand. This is especially emphasized when she lashes out at Jungo or Hinako, the former for his "idiocy" and the latter as a part of her rivalry. She mostly acts without thinking ahead, and when her emotions get the better of her, she refuses to listen to anyone unless they are hard on her. Depending on the Fate level and choices the player makes, she may show her, rather rare, cheerful side. Alternatively, if the player decides to tease her or be comical, the protagonist will also be the target of her wrath. Throughout the story, she is shown to be deeply self-conscious to the point of jealousy. This is expressed clearly during one of her later Fate events where she berates each female for their favorable traits such as Otome for being "too nice" or Makoto for being "perfect." Over time, she starts to warm up to the cast as a whole. Airi is a rival to Hinako. The two contrast each other, being individuals with talents in the entertainment field but having differing views regarding their fields. Hinako perseveres with her aspiration of dancing and has the strong constitution to follow through with her goals. Airi, however, is someone who threw away her dream, quite bitterly, but tries to become flexible and adapt to the situation around her. In the anime version, she appears similar to her game counterpart, except she shows remorse and affection towards her close comrades after they are killed by Megrez, but unlike the games, she has very little interaction with Hinako.
