Personality
Aoi is polite and amicable. Meeting Brad and witnessing his flirtatious ways both angered and intrigued her.

Brad's pick up lines really frustrated Aoi and threw her off her game, causing her to lose against him. What's more, she gets angry when Brad flirts with other women, and can't stop thinking about him after the fourth tournament.

Abilities
Aoi is a practitioner of Aiki-jūjutsu. Returning home, she tried hard not only to learn Aikido and Kobujutsu, but to also improve her knowledge in other martial arts. Her study has allowed her to more effectively counterattack and parry, as well as increase her repertoire.

Aoi has a few defensive moves where she spins and twirls in order to dodge or counteracttack the opponent. She also performs Japanese fan dancing in one opening of  3.
