Ayaka (English: [ˈɑjɨkə~əˈjɑkə], Japanese: [ajaka]) is a minor/supporting character in Misao. In the Truth, she was resurrected by Onigawara.
In the Misao novelization, her full name is revealed to be Ayaka Kisaragi (如月 あやか Kisaragi Ayaka).
Appearance[]
Ayaka's outfit is a bit different than the uniform that other female characters wear - it lacks the pink vest, meaning she only wears a white blouse with a red scarf tied in a bow near the collar. She keeps her long carrot hair loose with red hairpins on the left side of her hair and honey-brown eyes. Ayaka is a crazy fan of Mr. Sohta - she spends most of her time talking about him and effectively being a bother to Aki. She also mocks her best friend about her crush on Tohma, which Aki then denies, saying that she never said she liked anybody. She also plays a similar role for Akito (male counterpart to Aki) where she teases him about having a crush on Saotome which Akito also denies.
History[]
Before the Curse[]
After the player comes to school and attends class, the player gets to meet Ayaka during break, who is labeled as Aki's best friend and a 'fad follower'. She is shown babbling on and on about Mr. Sohta, her obsessive crush, while Aki states that she doesn't really care about Ayaka's current craze. In retaliation, Ayaka teases Aki on her crush on Tohma, whom she believes is just a flirty player.
The Curse Begins[]
After being teleported elsewhere, the player can find Ayaka in the teacher's offices, snooping around Mr. Sohta's desk. Still obsessed, Ayaka tells the player that she found love letters to 'HER' Mr. Sohta, and ignores the player's advice to find somewhere safe to hide.
Finding Misao's Body Parts[]
At some point in the game, Ayaka discovers one of Misao's body parts in Mr. Sohta's possession, which prompts her crush to effectively kill her in cold blood, despite not being one of the sacrifices required for the ritual to save Misao's soul. When Aki returns to the infirmary, Mr. Sohta explains that a monster had invaded and slaughtered her instead, showing Aki an injury from the 'supposed' beast and giving Aki one of Misao's parts, Misao's hands. this should be expected considering the fact that Mr. Sohta has a hand fetish.
Relationships[]
Aki[]
Aki is Ayaka's best friend whom she enjoys talking about "the awesome Mr. Sohta" with the brunette, even though she is being well-aware that she doesn't hold any interest in the guy.
Mr. Sohta[]
Ayaka has a crush on Mr Sohta that she tends to stalk him and find out traits about him, which is revealed early in the game when she tells Aki she found out that he has a hand fetish. Her sort of "stalker" personality to him is shown when she starts looking through his desk and reading the letters other students had given him.
Onigawara[]
In the ending, Ayaka was reincarnated by him and she now lives in the other world stalking him.

About Ayaka[]
Aki's best friend. Natural stalker. A fad-follower and thus total doofus. She's the one character who's not two-faced. Revived in the true ending by Onigawara. She's fond of him, so she'll likely begin a new life of stalking in the other world...
Ayaka Design Secrets[]
A character created to reinforce Sohta's... yeah. Plus, the protagonist seemed sorta friendless, so she's Aki's best friend to boot. She's the one I regretted killing most. That's why I revived her in the true ending. *laughs*
Etymology[]
Novel[]
- Kisaragi means "February" (如月).
- Ayaka is written in hiragana (あやか), which has no special meaning. However, when written in kanji (彩花, 彩華 or 彩香), it could possibly mean:
- 彩花 - "color" (彩) (aya) and "flower, blossom" (花) (ka).
- 彩華 - "color" (彩) (aya) and "flower, petal" (華) (ka).
- 彩香 - "color" (彩) (aya) and "fragrance, fragrant" (香) (ka).
Trivia[]
- The reason why Ayaka was resurrected in the Truth ending is because the creator Miscreant's Room (Sen) felt bad about killing her off earlier in the game and wanted to bring her back somehow.
