Akari Mamiya

Akari Mamiya is the main protagonist in Hidan no Aria AA. She is a first year freshman in the Assault Department. She idolizes the legendary Assault S-Rank Aria H. Kanzaki and aspires to be a great Butei just like her. Despite being a lowly E-Rank, she also dreams of being taken under Aria's tutalage despite the latter's record of rejectng most Amica candidates. In a twist of luck for Akari, however, she managed to pass Aria's test and has become her offical Amica. Akari is a girl with short honey-blonde hair tied in two ponytails, giving her a childish appearance. She wears the standard Butei high girls uniform and her two white ribbons are tied into her hair. Akari also has medium purple eyes. She has a petite physique, similar to Aria's, and according to Kinji Tohyama, Akari is "shorter and flatter." Akari is typically clumsy and carefree, however has been shown to be protective of her friends, especially if she doesn't know someone who's getting close to those she cares about. This is shown when Aria is trying to get close to Kinji Tohyama, and Mamiya follows him, albeit out of slight jealousy. Following the destruction of her family home by IU, Akari has grown a complex towards using her family arts. In the beginning, she was a faithful student towards her family's teachings but the death and destruction that followed because IU was after their deadly secret scarred Akari. Since then, she's been very hesitant of fighting aggressively and actively plays the part of the fool in order to avoid confrontation.
