"I think that klutzes are cute! To be honest, I tossed your notebook into a bucket full of water earlier... Klutzes are cute, right?"

― Aya says to Yōko.

"It's Aya."

― -Aya to Karen when she guesses Aya’s name.

Aya Komichi (小路綾, Komichi Aya^?) is one of the main characters of the Kin-iro Mosaic series.

Appearance

Aya is a fair-skinned girl with very long, thin black hair tied into high twintails, and dark blue eyes. Even though her hair clearly looks blue, it's confirmed to be black in Season 2 and Season 1 Episode 6 (when Yōko compliments Aya by saying that she looks good in a kimono because of her black hair).

Aya's school uniform consists of the same skirt and shoes as the others, but she also pairs them with a thick navy blue sweater, a pink striped bow-tie and a white collared shirt, along with a pair of black tights. During summer, she wears a black sweater vest over a white collared T-shirt and instead of white knee socks, she opts for black thigh-highs.

For casual attire, Aya often wears feminine dresses that she pairs with ribbons. Most of the time though, Aya doesn't seem to use any ribbons or hair ties to tie her hair.

Personality

Aya is known for being the fairly timid and easily embarrassed type who comes off as being fairly awkward and unable to express her true feelings. She is shown to be the serious girl of the group and isn't likely to act silly or overly emotional like the others. She tries to do everything with grace and elegance to set good examples; even if they manage to do better than her in certain instances.

Aya is genuinely kind and honest, unless it deals with her crush on Yoko- in which she acts like a typical tsundere. She also is sensitive regarding her body image and feelings. However, this allows her to personally relate with others if they are in the same situation as her.

She is very smart, but has a tendency to become dense or even clueless at times. She is a self-admitted forgetful type. Her tendency to ruin the mood also goes noticed by others, while she remains unaware of what she did. Even Alice thinks of Aya as a smart and reliable girl.

Manga

In the manga, Aya is no different than how she is in the anime, although she shows strange behavior. In one case, she accidentally tossed Yōko's notebook into a water bucket, and in another instance she ran into Yōko (who had just seen Alice trip onto the ground) and claimed klutzes are cute. When the notebook came up again she justified it with "Klutzes are cute, right?", causing Yōko to retort with, "No cheating!"

While Aya is level headed most of the time, she can be quite panicky whenever Yōko unintentionally makes her heart flutter. For example, Yōko forgot her lunch when she was in a hurry and asks Aya for some of hers. After agreeing, Aya envisioned a "bakappuru" (lit. stupid couple) feeding one another, causing her to get flustered.

Relationships

Yōko Inokuma

Though Yōko's confession is an example―
―Aya will get mad and attack Yōko.

Aya and Yoko are best friends who knew each other since Middle School. At first she was highly dependent on her and it took her a long time to become independent. She is quick to deny ever needing Yoko now though, but has gained a massive crush on her friend and as such, has become slightly distant from her in an attempt to become honest about her feelings and confess them. She is quick to go into denial and panic if she thinks someone else may harbor feelings for Yoko as well.

Aya values the time she and Yoko can spend together, even though she outwardly acts coldly or a little mean towards her. She can appear bossy if she acts stupidly in her eyes, and possesses the traits of a tsundere towards her only. Only with Yoko does her less-than stoic and indecisive side come out. For example, she was going to go swimming until realizing if she was to drown Yoko would have to give her CPR, causing her to back out. She often envisions herself in romantic situations with Yoko, just to hit or scold her for reasons unknown to Yoko after she snaps out of it.

Over the course of the series she appears to lighten up on Yoko, but from time-to-time she would still make insulting comments.

Shinobu Ōmiya

Aya is kind to Shino and is honest with her, but she tries to be more tolerent and calm about it. However, she is liable to resort to desparate measures if it means helping Shino study better.

Isami

Aya is not shown to interact with Shino's sister very often; however, she is shown admiring her like the other girls.

Alice

Aya is very kind to Alice and they share many similarities. They are both good students and get along intellectually, nor do they tease or mock each other as they may do the others. They are both in similar situations when it comes to their feelings and appear to be withdrawn in comparison to their more expressive friends.

Karen Kujō

At first Aya often found herself frustrated or annoyed with Karen and her behavior, but after a while she got used to it and calmed down. They have not bonded as much with each other, although they are on good terms.

Honoka

Aya often stumbles across Honoka in fairly compromising situations, however she was able to bond with her after Honoka admitted how determined she was to befriend Karen. Aya even attempted to help her out since she appears to relate to her feelings.

Trivia

Aya's blood type is A. Yōko (whose blood type is O) points out that people who have type O and type A are compatible.
Aya is implied to be a bad singer in both the manga and anime. She admits to being tone-deaf, while the others just say her singing is very "Aya-like".
- However, during Shino's story in episode 12, and the Opening and Ending themes she sings fine.
She likes any kind of romance story, as mentioned by Yōko in episode 8.
Her flower symbol is the Cosmos.
She is said to gain weight very easily.
Aya is similar to Rize Tedeza from Is The Order a Rabbit?, a series made by the same staff of Kin-Iro.
- Both girls wear their dark-colored hair in twin-tails.
- Both have purple for their theme color.
- They are both shown to be the responsible member in their group.
- They have a bond with a shorter haired girl.
Although her hair looks blue, Aya confirms it's black in Season 2, and Yoko compliments Aya on her black hair in Season 1 Episode 6.
Her hair was first seen worn down in Season 2.

-Aya has been friends with Shinobu and Yōko ever since middle school. At first she was very dependent on Yōko and took a long time to do anything without her. However, Aya strongly denies this out of embarrassment. She has a large crush on Yoko and while she is unable to be honest, despite knowing she needs to be, she tends to soften with those who deal with the same things.

-In one chapter, Yōko receives what she assumes is a love letter in her shoe locker. Alice and Karen praise her for it, but Aya is in denial, trying to list possibilities of what it actually could be. Throughout the day, Aya stalks Yōko everywhere, in hopes that the latter would open the letter, but much to Aya's dismay, she doesn't. Later, when Aya finally asks for Yōko to open it (at this point, Yōko has completely forgotten about it), Yōko reveals that she doesn't really care for what the letter says - she likes her more anyway. This causes Aya to blush. Yōko opens the letter, only to find that Shinobu had wrote it and for an entirely different reason. As Aya and Yōko are walking home with Alice and Karen, Aya teases Yōko by saying that there was no way Yōko could get a love letter. At this point, Aya is noticeably happy and Alice and Karen notice this too.
