Ryou Atsumi

Aya is a girl living in the village at the foot of the mountain where Tamahiko's villa stands. Raised in poverty and left to care for three younger brothers on her own, she initially presented herself as a delinquent with a rough attitude—even going so far as to steal from Tamahiko. Yet beneath that hardened exterior lay a shield she had built to protect her family from their alcoholic father. After crossing paths with Yuzuki and Tamahiko, she gradually shed her deep-seated sense of inferiority, returned to her studies, and forged a meaningful bond with the two of them.
