Consumed By

 * Acrobatic Silky

Personality
Due to her beauty, Aira is very arrogant and puts on a facade of being sweet charming girl to captivate boys. Her arrogance is exacerbated when she becomes able to see supernatural beings, believing that she has been chosen by heaven to save the world from evil. This attitude persists while she is in the grasp of Acrobatic Silky, even after witnessing her devour Ken, and she defiantly scorns the yokai, resulting in her being eaten and subsequently killed. However, she is also shown to have a kind heart as after Acrobatic Silky resurrects her, Aira lovingly embraces her as she fades away.

History
As a child, Aira saw the yokai Acrobatic Silky and mistook her for her mother. Consequently, Acrobatic Silky became convinced that she really was her mother and obsessively stalked her.

After becoming able to see supernatural spirits again, Aira is abducted by the Acrobatic Silky and Ken Takakura and Momo Ayase try to rescue her. During the ensuing battle, Acrobatic Silky devours Ken and then tries to get Aira to call her "mother". Not fully understanding the situation, Aira defiantly proclaims that she is the chosen one who must destroy all monsters like Acrobatic Silky. This causes the yokai great emotional anguish and, consequently, Aira is swallowed by her.

Aira is saved soon afterwards as Momo, who was also swallowed, lights Acrobatic Silky's stomach on fire using a lighter Aira had on her, forcing the yokai to regurgitate them. However, Aira is a killed as a result of being eaten, but Acrobatic Silky sacrifices herself to resurrect her.
