Personality: Aya often comes across as very mature and calm. He tends to be polite towards those not familiar with him and also prefers that people not get too close to him. There are innocent people in the world and he doesn’t consider himself to be one of them. One of his infamous lines is that he's 'just a murderer.' For that reason, he wants to try not to taint them. Still, he is generally rather friendly towards others unless he has reason not to be. Even then, it is almost impossible to get him to trust someone completely. Early in his canon he was very cold towards others. He has warmed up since then be his lack of trust remains.

He’s a broken man on the inside searching for redemption that somehow seems to elude him. The fact is that he’s an assassin, formerly one of Kritiker’s best and now a member of K.R. But, this is not something that he’s proud of. The blood that stains his hands weighs heavily on him all the time. To him, he’s just a murderer. Not worthy of anything that might be considered good. Dramatic Precious showed us having nightmares of this and he even specifically states in a dream sequence in Side B that he and the rest of Weiss were just murderers. For this reason, he has not gone to see his sister since she woke from her coma four years ago. An important detail since she is the most important person to him. Kapitel showed us this when everything he did, including taking his sister's name, was all for her sake.

But, he still is a gentle and kind man. Even if he wouldn’t agree with this despite the fact that he would accept flowers from a young girl as a thank you from her. Or would give money to a church rather than keeping it all for himself as seen in the end of Gluhen. Those he accepts as friends, close enough for him to place trust in, are people he cares deeply about. For these people he has more concern and keeps a close eye on. Though, he usually tries to be very subtle about the fact that he’s doing so. Like watching Sena from the shadows in Gluhen. To gain this measure of trust takes a lot of work. And it is best not to break his trust since there is not real guarantee that you can ever get it back again. Yohji experienced this when Aya returned from America just before the start of Gluhen. All through that part of the series, he refused to trust him. It wasn't until the end when the building was collapsing that Yohji finally regained his trust. However, despite not trusting his friend, he still cared for him or he wouldn't have tried to help put him on the right path repeatedly.

On the flip side, when he does lose his temper, he is a force to be reckoned with. That anger burns cold and hot at the same time. This makes him deadly since he’s learned to control himself during these times. Rarely does he lose this control. But also rarely does he fully become angry now. When he does, you do not want to be on the other side of his sword. The thugs in New York experienced this first hand. And, he dealt with them while still injured.

When it comes to abilities he is good with, he has great confidence. It’s clear that he knows what he’s doing and will execute whatever the task is. Usually without a flaw. An example of a flaw being deaths of his teammates in Gluhen (Kyo then Sena later on). True there was nothing he could have done but that doesn't stop him from remembering this as seen in the dream he has while injured in New York in Side B. So, in a fight, he becomes very focused, observant, and prepared for anything. Ready to make sure that whatever the mission happens to be is completed. Often, he will put his life in harm’s way to ensure that this happens. He will not stop until the mission is complete. Sometimes, this means preparing to do something he doesn't agree with. Like needing to kill Kurumi if it proved necessary. These skills have a tendency to bleed into the rest of his life as well.

Aya can slip into moments of deep thought. During these times, memories are probably haunting him. When it comes to the mistakes of his past, he has many regrets. These are seen with the many scars he has on his body which he hides under his clothing all the time, revealed to us when his stab wound was being treated in Side B. Despite being confident in his abilities, he doesn’t have the confidence in his person to match it. Again, he’s just a murderer. And his greatest fear is that someday he’ll become someone that will have to be hunted down. That he will kill someone who has done nothing wrong. For that reason he once asked a former comrade of his from his Crasher days to kill him if that ever happened in Jazz Me Blues. Also, he thinks about a young boy called Sena who once said that there could be peace in the world one day. He wants to believe in that.

He's stuck in a stage where he wants to believe he can be saved but also believes there is no hope for him at the same time because of that. This is best seen at the end of Gluhen where he helps a church in New York but never actually comes inside for any of the services. If he did show up, he came late and stood by the door. And when he was dreaming of Weiss in Side B he recalled that though they were murderers, they had something. They had a connection that somehow made them good.

He’s grown a lot since he first joined Weiss. He has leadership qualities now, a mentor for the next generation. In Gluhen he makes it clear that one of his greatest hopes is that others will not repeat his mistakes. The power of hatred is something he knows well and if he can he’ll try to keep someone from falling into that path. His priority is to see to it that those he’s leading are alright. It’s very important to him. So he talked to Sena in Gluhen and told him how the power of revenge could harm the person who wanted it. He would know since the first half of Kapitel was all about him seeking out his revenge and to this day he has to live with what he did. Especially that he did it all in his sister's name.

All in all, Aya is a good man who is a trained killer. However, he only sees the killer side of himself anymore and doesn’t want others starting on his path to continue on it. He feels tainted and that has prevented him from talking to his own sister, the one person who is most precious to him. At the same time, he hopes that one day he might be able to see some kind of peace. Until then, he continues to do the only thing he knows how to do anymore. Fight.

Strengths/Weaknesses:
Strengths:

Physical: Aya is a trained assassin. He is very quick on his feet and extremely agile. There is a lot of strength that comes from using a katana the way he does. And he has been seen working a construction job as well, another place where he can apply his superior upper body strength. But he is able to use just about any other weapon that is placed in his hands. He has skill in hand-to-hand but his talents rest mostly with weaponry since that isn’t his specialty. That doesn’t mean he won’t hesitate to throw a punch though. His stamina is that of a fighter and his body shows off the lean muscle that has developed from his training and work as an assassin. There can be no doubts that he is very deadly. Even in his everyday life, he can’t help but to walk with predatory grace and quiet. He has very good balance as well and can do things like stand on top of fast moving vehicles without falling off. Like a predator, his reflexes are excellent. And so are his skills in stealth and tracking. Another thing is that he can keep going on fighting or doing things even when he's very injured.

Emotional: Intelligence is not something he is short on. While not an expert in technology, he still is extremely intelligent. One of his favorite activities is to read, after all. He tends to be a silent observer who notices things happening around him. Because his mental awareness is good, he’s rarely caught off guard. This allows him to maneuver his way out of things like getting shot and/or killed. Being that on guard can be a disadvantage to him as well though.

Aya has a certain ability to be able to push himself forward no matter what the situation. He typically doesn’t shut down. When his family was destroyed, he forced himself to continue on. When his sister was kidnapped, he did everything to find her. When his teammates ended up in a hopeless situation, he pulled them out of it. He can think quickly on his feet. And, he’s a very capable leader. Despite Omi being the actual leader of Weiss, the team does seem to look up to him and rely on him.

His mental discipline is quite extraordinary. When he sets his mind to doing something, he will see to it that it gets done. For that reason, Reiji Takatori fell by his sword.

There is a quiet strength that seems to float around him. He tends to be the most serious of his teammates (not including Free). And, for those he comes to trust, he shows a loyalty that cannot be questioned. He is quite willing to face an army on his own to save his friends. Aya can also be there to provide much needed encouragement. When Omi was struggling after being beaten by his brother, it was Aya who was there to encourage him about who he really is. When Yuki needed someone to watch out for him then he was there. Same with Sena. But, his emotions tend to take a back burner in his life. This can be a strength since it keeps him logical most of them time. However, there are consequences to pushing feelings aside.

More often than not, he’ll help others from the background. He doesn’t want them to know it was him helping. He is a great leader and mentor. Someone who tends to know just what to say when it needs to be said.

Weaknesses:

Physical: By no means is he a superhuman. While very skilled and very in shape, he can only push his body as far as his body will allow. And he does have a tendency to push his body past what it is capable of. During times when he has lost his temper, he will fight in a manner that tends to injure him rather than help him. He will try to but he cannot keep up with superhuman speed and can only struggle against superhuman strength. Also, he heals slowly just like your average human would. That habit of continuing on even while injured doesn’t help either.

Emotional: Aya's greatest flaw emotionally is how he beats himself up. Though he won't let other people know it, he looks at himself as covered in blood. He isn't worth anything if you ask him. This can be a key thing to who he is because he is looking for redemption. A way to atone for all that he is done. At the same time, he is convince that this is impossible for him. He really continues to fight because he knows that there are those who need him.

Often he has nightmares of all the things he has done. He doesn't think of himself as good even though the rest of the world sees this. Perhaps to go along with this he is highly self-sacrificing. This can be an enormous weakness because people can use this against him if they work things the right way. After all, even after all this time of not seeing his sister he is still worried that his sister would hate him. He knows what he's done is wrong and it eats him up on the inside.

That said, he still has some of the temper he used to have. And if you attack someone he is trying to protect then he will attack.

Aside from that, it is very difficult to read his emotions. Only people who have known him for years can manage it. This is because he tends to bury his emotions deep down in order to be strong. This is considered a weakness since it makes it difficult to get close to him. Add the fact that he isn't quick to trust and suddenly you have someone who can push you away while still managing to be perfectly polite to you and giving you a smile.

Samples
First Person Sample:

[It's obvious from Aya's face that he's confused by this situation. However, the little Eevee is doing his utmost best to help him!]

Vweeeeee~! [He stares at the creature a moment before glancing at the pack it seems to be indicating. Going through it, he sighs. But, at least he has supplies.]

Who are you? [His voice is gentle and he holds his hand out. The Eevee comes over to sniff then cuddle it, beaming cheerfully.] You're alone, aren't you. Alright, come here. [He picks him up and cradles him as he grabs the pack, finding the little communication device.]

Even this is provided.

[He takes a more serious tone. It's the kind of tone that says 'you know who I'm talking to'.] If anyone can see this then I need to know where you are. Where this place is as well. Because something about this is wrong. I shouldn't be here...

Third Person Sample:

Leaning against a tree, Aya let himself have a moment to enjoy the sunlight. Eevee was in his lap and he was taking care of the little creature based on instructions he'd found. Currently those methods involved taking a brush to that brown fur and running it through slowly and gently. The little one certainly seemed to be enjoying it, trilling for him and leaning toward the brush as if to ask for more. Honestly, he couldn't help but to smile at him. There was just something so innocent about it. As if it really only wanted to be loved and to see to it that he was happy too.

He could remember a time when he'd been so blissfully naive. So open to the more innocent things in life. Now he spent more time if he even deserved to enjoy things like that. Honestly he really wasn't so sure about that. Over time he'd covered himself in so much blood, killed so many people. The fact that they were all criminals really didn't matter. In the end, they had still been human beings. Those with lives and history and people who had cared about them once or might have in the future if he hadn't taken away their lives.

What would his sister think of him if she knew all he'd done? Probably look upon him in disgust. Run away in fear.

It wasn't like he could blame her for that.

His more serious mood seemed to be something that Eevee picked up on because he was turning around and putting his little paws up on Aya's chest, licking his face. He blinked those violet eyes of his at the gesture. That wasn't something he'd been expecting. Anymore he was someone who comforted others. He didn't get comfort in return and didn't ask for it. Smiling at the creature, he scratched those big ears.

"Thank you. I'm alright now." He got a trill in return and another kiss before Eevee sat back down, head tilted to the side. It was like he was smiling back at him. "Alright. Here, I'll give you a little food."

Pushing aside his own thoughts and worries, he did what he did best. He started to take care of something else rather than focusing on himself.
