Ai Mizuno

Ai Mizuno is one of the main characters from the Zombieland Saga anime.

Ai was a popular idol in the early 2000s from the idol group called Iron Frill. She died in 2008 when she was struck by lightning during a concert. She's also a member of the idol group Franchouchou.

She is titled as the Legendary Heisei Idol.

In the Heroes Coalition fics, Ai attends Vanguard Academy as a student.

Appearance
Ai has short, dark, slate blue hair with two yellow flower clips. Her bangs are bunched together, and she has light red eyes. Like the other zombies, her skin is a greyish-blue and red eyes, and most of her body is covered in bandages some what like a mummy.

Her casual outfit consists of an Idol-like school outfit: a navy-blue jacket over a pale yellow top with a blue plaid skirt and bow. She also wears dark grey socks and light brown school-shoes. As a Idol, Ai has a light sky-blue shirt with "3" written on it, wears a turquoise skirt, and has more flowers in her hair.

Personality
When alive, Ai demonstrated a cheerful and determined personality, but after becoming a Zombie she became rather skeptical and suspicious. As she gradually begins to warm up to her group, she begins to act like her old self again. She has shown a supportive side and great patience when aiding the other members with her idol experience. Because of how she died, she was afraid of lightning. When she got stuck by lighting again and comes out unharmed, along with a successful performance with Franchouchou at Saga Rock, she appears to have overcome her trauma.
