Ayase, Chihaya
Summary
Chihaya Ayase is a determined high school student at Municipal Mizusawa High School, where she serves as the captain of the Karuta Club in Year 2 Class 9. Born on June 1 under the Gemini sign, she possesses a B blood type, stands 167 cm tall, and weighs 54 kg. She is a member of the Shiranami Society and holds an A Class rank. Her hobbies include collecting Daddy Bear merchandise, and she favors chocolate and pollock squid. Chihaya possesses remarkable hearing abilities and is deeply committed to the art of karuta. She believes that by persevering in the game, she will reunite with Arata, a motivation that led her to establish the school’s karuta club alongside Mashima. Although she is physically beautiful, her intense dedication to karuta leads her peers to view her as eccentric, with classmates often referring to her as a "waste of a beauty." She has been described as a tomboy trapped in a supermodel’s body. Her favorite song is Poem #17, which speaks of the unique beauty of autumn red gleaming on the waters of Tatsuta's stream, a scene unmatched even by the gods of ancient days.
