Ayano Aishi

Ayano Aishi (also known as Yandere-chan or Yan-chan) is the main playable protagonist of Yandere Simulator and the main antagonist in the spin-off minigame Yandere no Sutoka. Her goal is to eliminate 10 rivals who have a special interest in her Senpai. Ayano Aishi has pale skin, dark grey eyes, and straight, long black hair. She stands at a height of 165 cm (5 feet, 4.96 inches), weighs 43 kg (94 lbs), and has average-sized breasts. Her hair is tied into a high ponytail with sharp bangs swept to the right, the middle one being the most prominent, and two strands of hair that frame her face, reaching to her shoulders. As of August 15, 2019 build, she can purchase dye and bleach her hair blonde, in order to meet one of the requirements for joining the delinquents. In the future, the she may gain a new ponytail, which will be very similar to her current hairstyle but is an original asset. Ayano is seen wearing a white and navy blue sailor uniform shirt with a red mini scarf, a matching navy blue skirt, black thigh high socks, and black shoes. Unless changed into indoor shoes which are white with blue on the tip. Her uniform can be customized. In all uniforms, she wears black thigh high socks. She is the only character (besides Senpai) seen wearing the official uniform Yandere Dev wants to use. Consisting of a white button-up, long-sleeved shirt, red ribbon, and blue dress. She keeps her black thigh high socks and black shoes. When in town Ayano will wear a teal-green shirt, blue denim skirt, black thigh high socks, black gloves, and sneakers. She wears the same outfit in the Driving Your Rivals To Murder video. When visibly insane, Ayano will become hunched over, twitch erratically, have dilated pupils, and the top half of her face will cast a dark shadow. If she has murdered a student, her uniform and rest of her body will become bloody. When Yandere Vision is active, Ayano's body will be outlined in black, and her eyes will be fully red. There used to be an Easter Egg where if she ran into the Phantom Girl which used to be at the Confession Tree located behind the school, she would be wearing a red and black version of the default uniform. This was removed, however, after being reported countless times as a "bug". There are several other Easter Eggs that alter her appearance, those being 47 Mode, Bad Time Mode, Bancho Mode, Blade Hair Mode, Cirno Mode, Cyborg Mode, DK Mode, Ebola Mode, Falcon Mode, Galo Mode, Garbage Mode, Hateful Mode, Punch Mode, Huntress Mode, Punished Mode, Slender Mode, Titan Mode, Tornado Mode, Witch Mode, X Mode, Hunger Mode, Medusa Mode, Gazer Mode, Yandere-kun, and Ship Girl Mode. Easter Eggs that don't alter her appearance are Bad Romance Mode, a mode where a Stand from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure follows player around, and Spooky Mode, a mode where every female NPC turns into a skeleton. The player can change her appearance by altering the streaming assets folder. The player can currently give her different hairstyles by pressing H key. The player can give her eye-wear accessories using the P key. They can also give her random miscellaneous accessories using O key. < and > keys decrease/increase her bust size. In the final game, Ayano's hair will not be customizable during gameplay, unless player goes to small town's barbershop. Ayano's blue counterpart model, Aoi Kiryu, can be bought in the Unity Asset store. When she is a delinquent, her hair will be blonde and she will wear a mask. When she can join the Student Council she will have the red and white uniform worn by all of the Student Council. In first intro cutscene, Ayano seemed to have feelings, and wasn't such a potential criminal; she was coaxed into it by Info-chan and was apprehensive of idea of killing another person. She was simply a lovesick schoolgirl who wanted a boyfriend. She didn't even seem to consider killing Osana before Info-chan brought it up. This personality, however, is outdated and is stated by YandereDev himself that it does not correctly characterize her true nature. In the second intro, Ayano is instead very emotionless, apathetic, and speaks with a deadpan expression. She would do anything to prevent people from obtaining Senpai, even if it meant killing them. Ayano suffers from a fictional type of insanity. This condition doesn't allow her to experience normal, strong feelings. She had been this way since as far back as she could remember, before meeting Taro Yamada for the first time. Ayano doesn't have the ability to feel emotions, empathy, or remorse. She doesn't feel guilt or shame for harming others. However, she can feel pity at times. She knows what the general people consider to be "wrong", but she just doesn't care. Ayano's behavior does not perfectly match the definition of either a sociopath or psychopath, but she is capable of actions that only a psychopath would consider taking--being usually bold and egotistical. She doesn't see the point of fighting students non-lethally (besides the delinquents) because they will just report her to the teachers. She is also capable of nonviolent elimination methods in order to cause less trouble for Senpai or to run less of a risk of getting caught while doing something violent. Ayano's "hobby" is trying to convince everyone around her that she is a normal girl with normal feelings. She buys manga, plays video games, and rides a bike to project the image of a regular school girl. However, she doesn't enjoy any of it. Overall, Ayano is a blank slate whose personality is determined by the player's actions and choices, but all players have the capacity to commit each of the possible actions in the game. She isn't incredibly talkative by default and will only speak when necessary.
