Enju Aihara

Enju Aihara is one of the main characters from the Black Bullet anime and light novels.

A young 10-year-old Cursed Child and Rentarou's Model Rabbit initiator. Has severe trust issues but a friendly young girl.

In the AWA fics, Enju is a student at the AWA Academy.

Appearance
Enju Aihara is a beautiful ten-year old girl with several prominent features, the most noticeable being her long crimson hair. She keeps it in two knee-length ponytails, emphasizing her small body and leaving the back of her neck slightly bare. Enju has two large, black tags tying her hair with what appear to be bunny designs printed on them. Her forehead is covered by bangs split in the middle, each side reaching to her eyes and covering the sides of her cheekbones. Enju's eyes are rather soft, but do have a slight edge to them. They have large red irises and very small, black pupils. Enju has a rather small mouth and nose.

Enju's clothes consist of a small orange hooded-sweater with orange and red square designs on the inside. The front bottom ends are folded upwards and held by buttons. The sweater has a short zipper with an oversized tag. Underneath the sweater, Enju wears a long, white dress (partially resembling a camisole). She wears a thigh-length skirt held up by a large, thick belt. Enju wears knee high boots with extremely thick, heavy, black soles which she utilizes to crush her enemies. The uppers of the boots are black and dark purple in the manga. In the anime, however, they are black with red accents and use zippers instead of laces and straps. On top of that, the soles in the anime are slightly smaller. The toes of Enju's boots appear to be white rubber.

Personality
Enju is a nice girl at heart that likes making friends, and believes that she will protect them with her special abilities. Her statement is proven true in actions when, despite being mistreated by the kids at her school when she is discovered to be a "cursed child," she ultimately destroys a Gastrea parasite and solely thinks of the kids at her school whilst weeping violently in Rentarou's arms.

She is also rather lively, as Mai, a school friend, claims she is always smiling regardless of the situation. However, she feels pain when young girls like her are also mistreated because of the blood running through their veins. This is further stated when Rentarou ignores a cursed child being mistreated in front of his eyes: Enju confronts him with her anger purring in the air violently.

Enju has openly shown jealously towards any girl that gets close to Rentarou such as Kayo Senju, Seitenshi, and even Kisara Tendou. She also has a flat-chest inferiority complex, as she feels offended whenever someone points out her flat-chest and even squeeze Kisara's breasts and complements on them. Regardless, Enju does not hold grudges that easily and is more willing to make friends. In fact, she happens to be a very forgiving girl at heart and even willing to befriend former enemies, as she manages to forgive and befriend Tina Sprout despite the fact that Tina has brutally injured Enju earlier.

Abilities
Initiator: With the Gastrea blood in her body, Enju has gained superhuman abilities; thus becoming a member of Civil Security and receiving a Promoter as her partner. Enju Aihara is a Model Rabbit Initiator, which means the fluid ingested by her mother belonged to that of a Rabbit Gastrea, the majority of her strength is concentrated in her legs, which is why when engaging in combat she proceeds to make use of kicks. Furthermore, her legs are hardened to the point of being able to break steel as is the case in the fight between her and Kohina Hiruko.
 * Initiator's Ability: Physique: Enju has proven herself to be a great combatant when it comes to fighting Gastrea of low and high stages, quickly annihilating a Stage I Gastrea with a single kick to the eye, as well as sending it several feet back with the impact of the kick. This is further supported when she jumps many feet from the ground and crashes into a Gastrea, taking it to the ground with her without any sign of fatigue.


 * Initiator's Ability: Agility: Enju takes pride in her own speed, outrunning an extremely fast Gastrea whilst carrying Rentaro on her back; at the same time commenting on how she is undoubtedly faster. She also displays ludicrous jumping abilities as she is able to jump several feet in the sky even with a person on her back, as well as preform many jumps on tree branches and not lose any energy in the process. Further; when she fights with a Gastrea that attacked her with liquid that glued her to the ground, Enju portrays remarkable speed as she un-glues herself and kills the Gastrea in mere seconds.


 * Initiator's Ability: Recovery: As a result of the Gastrea blood in her veins, Enju can recover her own wounds at an amazing rate. When she does so, smoke covers the wound and, after it clears, the spot appears unharmed.

Trivia

 * She wears black hairpins with bunny designs and her Girlish Pigtails somewhat resembles long rabbit ears in the manga.
 * For a 10-year old kid, she likes to harp on quite a bit about how Rentaro has a preference for big boobs.
 * Much like Rentaro, Enju holds this viewpoint. She acknowledges the harsh reality on humanity's Fantastic Racism against the Cursed Children and feels that there is a good side in humanity and hopes humanity can accept her kind. Hence, this is one of the reasons why she continues fighting against the Gastrea, because she loves everyone unconditionally.
