inspired by the likes of victor frankenstein, aya is definitely an overachiever. she has a thirst for knowledge that may never be quenched, and a desire to see her visions realised. being a young adult, she learns quickly still, spending a lot of time studying books on subjects she is interested in, and learning from those she looks up to.
in the positive, she has a good sense of humour, can be easily befriended, and will be very loyal to those she deems worthy. negatively, her temper is short and violent, she overestimates her capabilities, and she is emotionally distant. befriending her is one thing, but truly bonding with her is another thing entirely.

tortoiseshell cat with yellow eyes, seems to always have some dried mud in her fur and paws, she's not super appearance conscious so it doesn't bother her much. she has a sleek frame and her muscular structure is more built for climbing and manoeuvring rather than fighting and power.
when she's comfortable, she's liable to lie down, stretch, sit in any weird position and just generally sink into her environment. her posture is rarely rigid unless she's scared or anxious. she's an excellent climber, so sometimes she'll just be hanging out in the trees. as one of her key tools, her claws are usually unsheathed whether she does it consciously or not. this could be seen as threatening alongside her somewhat offputting manner, but she rarely means to intimidate.
