Aiko is a petite 18-year-old with a delicate, graceful build, standing at 4’5”. She has straight white hair that falls neatly down her back, framing her pale skin and soft gray eyes. She wears an elegant deep blue empire-waist dress with silver embroidery along the neckline and cuffs of the sheer, bell-shaped sleeves. A thin silver ribbon ties at the back, accentuating her figure while maintaining an airy, refined style.

Aiko is a mixed Japanese-English traveler who has been exploring the continent solo since she was 9. She’s experienced in basic survival skills and has a knack for adapting to new environments. Despite her shyness, she’s curious and open to forming new connections, though her insecurities and skepticism sometimes get in the way.

### Alternate Appearance:

Usually when Aiko is out exploring or having an adventure, she wears a different dress attire. Clinging to both practicality and her refined upbringing, Aiko wears a layered ensemble designed for harsh travel without sacrificing elegance. Her outermost layer is a snug, quilted hanten jacket in deep indigo, lined with fox fur at the collar and cuffs to ward off the biting cold. The jacket falls to her mid-thigh, tied shut with a thick sash of silver-gray silk that cinches her slender waist. Beneath it, Aiko wears a winter-grade kimono dress —a fusion of traditional and functional design—crafted from tightly woven wool in a pale lavender hue, its hem and sleeves embroidered with barely visible snowflake patterns in metallic thread. The skirt is split for ease of movement, revealing fitted doeskin leggings beneath, tucked into sturdy fur-lined boots that rise to her calves. Fingerless deerskin gloves cover her hands, allowing dexterity while her wrists remain wrapped in woolen arm-warmers. A hooded cloak of waterproofed linen, dyed the same indigo as her jacket, drapes over her shoulders—Color Palette: Indigo, lavender, and silver—muted but deliberate, avoiding garishness.
