Ayase Aragaki (新垣 あやせ, Aragaki Ayase?) is part of the supporting cast of Oreimo. She is Kirino's best friend and classmate and is also a fellow model like her.
AppearanceEdit[]
Ayase is a 14-year-old girl with long dark hair and blue eyes. A lock of hair hangs from each side of her face and her fringes are separated in the middle, except for a small fringe that hangs from the middle.
Her choice of clothing is somewhat similar to Kirino's, though Ayase prefers a more conservative look.
Her weight is 44 kg, she is 166 cm tall and her vital statistics are 80/56/83 cm.
PersonalityEdit[]
Ayase is a nice person to her classmates and to Kirino, whom she adores most as her best friend. She is usually soft-spoken and refined, but can also show a more aggressive side, especially when people lie to her, which she hates the most. Her reserved aggressive side often gained her a 'yandere' mark from her peers. Ultimately, however, she is a refined person who retains a sweet and kind personality towards those she cares for.
She also appears to show a different kind of affection towards Kirino, showing a certain interest in seeing Kirino shine in whatever she is good at, to the point that Ayase displayed disbelief upon discovering Kirino's hobby. Ayase has always believed that the Kirino who excels in everything is the "true Kirino", only for her belief to be shattered by Kirino herself upon her revelation about how she loved anime, manga and gaming.
