Aria Aiko

Aria is a recurring character in the Oblivia franchise. She is the Earthbound of Hanako Tsukihana and resides inside her Blessing Cross.

Appearance
Aria is a late teenage girl of very short height. She has long, slightly wavy thigh length black hair with large, sad looking purple eyes. She has a large bang in the middle of her face with the rest spiking off to the left side, her side bangs are long and reach just under her chest. A strand of hair on the right side of her head is wrapped in a red ribbon and bow. Aria wears gauze around her neck and collar bone to cover self inflicted scars. She wears a strapped soft under shirt that hugs her body with red lace, revealing the shape of her very large breasts. Above it she wears a gothic strapless sweater with black and white horizontal stripes and skull patterns on the chest. The cuffs and bottom portions of the sweater contain folds with vertical checkerboard patterns. Aria's sleeves cover additional scars on her wrists and arms. Her skirt is also checkerboard patterned and loose. She wears black, thigh high stockings with normal black school shoes fastened by a silver buckle.

Trivia

 * Aria shares the same blood type, birthday, and first letter of her name with Ame, Aya, and Hanako (Aiel).
 * Aria's last name; "Aiko", comes from the merging of Hanako's first and middle names. (Aiel + Hanako = Aiko)
 * Aria's hair color is black to mirror Hanako's white hair. This is also done with Ame and E.T.A.
 * Originally, Aria was designed as a completely different character unrelated to Hanako, but when they first designed her Anima was too jealous of Aria looking "almost as pretty as Hanako" to not have them be related in some way, she was then made Hanako's Earthbound as a result which eventually tied in with Anima 's plans for the character: Fallen.
 * Aria's design has not changed at all since conception, despite being a very early designed character.
 * Aria's story is meant to feature an opposition to Hanako's. As opposed to Hanako's fame and love from others, Aria is hated for her looks and is bullied instead of loved, so much so that it leads into depression and self harm. However neither characters feature only positive or negative plot points exclusively. This is Anima 's way of presenting "two sides of the same coin."
 * While Hanako is the white moon, Aria may be the black flower; i.e the Black Sakura representation of the last name: Tsukihana.
