ojou-sama demeanor
fierce pride
Hailing from an illustrious noble household, Ai Yashajin is a shogi prodigy renowned for her razor-sharp analytical mind and exceptional board intuition. Though she projects an aloof and often cutting attitude toward her master Yaichi Kuzuryu, her true feelings run far deeper—a hallmark of the classic tsundere character type. She regards her fellow disciple Hinatsuru Ai as her ultimate lifelong rival, and their intense competition forms a central thread throughout the series. The two are frequently discussed together, partly due to sharing the same given name.
