History:

    Born in America to an American born Chinese mother and a Japanese father, Aida’s family moved back to Japan when she was 2. They lived in Okinawa before moving to the mainland when Aida was in her second year of middle school. This was where she met Riemi Irohara.

    After defending the other girl from bullies, the two became fast friends and would often hang out together after school. Aida became quite protective of Riemi and was worried when she would graduate, that she might get bullied again. At graduation she promised Riemi that she would come back to visit and she’d be free to hang out with her any time.

    However, not soon after her parents decided that they wanted a change of scenery and no matter how much their daughter protested, they decided that the family would move during the summer; and so reluctantly she left. As she moved on to a new high school, she still kept in touch with Riemi. This changed though when she came out as a lesbian. She began being bullied and in the end just wanted to drop out. Worried, her parents decided to move to Kirimori to get her away from that horrible environment.
