ELABORATION

▸adaptive , focused

Aika has been said to be focused when she is given a task or something she really wants to do. She has a one track mind at times when wanting to finish something, perfect a dance, song or whatever she is working on at the moment. It helps her take all the energy and time to do whatever she is given and be able to either finish everything or nearly perfect it. Aika is adaptive as well. if a certain situation occurs, she thinks things through quickly and follows direction she feels it should take. She does whatever needs to be changed and rearanges things to meet whatever is expected for that moment whether it be a song, dance, or in everyday life.

▸ playful, dedicated

with others, Aika is playful. She does know when to stop being playful when needed but if not, she will be playing and friendly to everyone.  She likes to play around with her friends and other trainees. She likes to see them smile so she will do little things to boost their energy if sad. Aika is dedicated to most things in her life. When it comes to friends, family, groups or goals, she likes to work on things or follow through on things until the end. She doesn't like to give up on what or who she likes. It's a trait she is proud of.

▸ stylish, determined

Aika tends to take particular care in her clothing. She likes to wear things that make her happy. Even if it doesn't make sense to others, if she likes it she will wear it. It is something of hers she feels most proud of since it usually lifts her mood if she feels down.  

▸ maternal

Everyone who has become close friends with Aika has called her their 2nd mother  because  of how maternal she is. She likes to take care of her friends as well as her family members. She is always asking everyone if they are doing okay, are hungry, need anything or need anyone to talk to. She just likes knowing everyone she cares for is doing okay.  

▸stubborn

Aika can be a stubborn individual but she gets that from her dad. They both can hold on to things that has happened in the past or has been said to her. That along with once her mind is set on something or she feels strongly about something, it's hard for her to let it go. An example of that is boneless chicken wings, She knows what it's made of and everything but if asked if it's a wing, she will defend it with her life.

▸ messy

Although she can be maternal, She is also messyt. Everyone has said she leaves things all over the place but Aika says it's her way to organize things in her area. She likes having a section of her tops, pants, makeup and etc.She is working on making it cleaner to not scare off invited guests but it is taking time. 

▸sarcastic, forgetful

Although Aika is good and remembering dances as well as lyrics, when it comes to basic things like what she ate this morning or what movie she watched last, she can be forgetful. It's either she will remember it right away or won't remember it until sometime later. It's something that has happened even at a young age. She is getting better at remembering small things but if it's something a little insignificant to her, she just won't remember till a later time. Aika is sarcastic as well. She is like this to everyone but those who aren't close to her or know her personality directly consider it a worst trait for her. It isn't intended but usually her conversations with everyone have some sarcasam sprinkled in. Depending on how others perseive the sarcastic nature in the sentence structure, it can be taken to be rude which sometimes leads to her losing friends or having to apologize. 

▸ independent, impulsive

Aika likes to do things that she feels is right, even if others sometimes say it isn't. She's been that way her whole life. She is independent when it comes things in her life. she doesn't like to wait for things. She likes to be in charge of her own life and do what she loves or wants to do in the moment. Her family supports her on that at times yet will try and bring her down to the ground when needed. She is also impulsive. If she wants to do something, she does it. She once gave her parents a heart attack because she wanted to go buy an ice cream as a child and didn't want to wait. Although she was gone for only 15 minutes,Her parents caused an uproar when she returned.  Although she is in the public eye now, she usually thinks things through but other times, it just comes out since it's in her nature. 

Aika grew up in Musashino, Tokyo, Japan with her family, made up of her mother, father and herself. Her mother and father have a resturant together where they make traditional japanese cusine but wih a twist. it is themed and is called Alice's Fantasy Resturant (it is real btw..i was just using it for their resturant though.) It has been doing well since tourists love going to places like this when visiting.  From a single family, Aika always wanted to have a younger sibling. Even though she knew that it might or might not happen, she did her best to make her family proud. She took dance, vocal and violin lessons as a child and ended up going out or auditions for recitals and for school performances. She competed at the regional level for violin and made 2nd chair. She felt bad since she wanted to make her family proud but her family reasured her that all was well and were glad she did her best.

around 5-6 when she started competing for dance and singing, she realized she loved music and wanted to do it as a full time job. Although her family wanted her to have a normal life with her becoming a doctor, they waited a few years to see if it was just a phase or not. They helped her by booking auditions, going accross japan to see if she would be in certain films or maybe a back up dancer or singer for someone. After a year, Aika ended up getting a part in 2 films in 2001. She soon became a child actress in Japan before she auditioned for Pledis when they did auditions in japan for a global audition. She auditioned with dance, singing and had to act as well. Once her audition was over with, she ended up getting news right away saying she was accepted in the company as a trainee.

when her family found out the news, they were ecstatic. Although they did hope it was a phase, they accepted the fact this is what their daughter wanted to do in the long run. They supported her and even though it would be in Korea, they would go visit whenever they had the chance. They did stay in korea for a few months when their daughter was going to start training and after that, left back to Japan to go back to working at their resturant. They always talked about their daughter to their friends and customers about how she was trainee and would be debuting in the future.

▪ Lee GaEun / 24/25 / sunbae / pledis mother
Gaeun is like Aika's mother in korea. Since she is able speak her native language, She was able to bond with her instantly. Gaeun takes care of all her friends/trainees she is able to which gave her the nickname mom. 

▪ Nuest / varies / singers,actors / best friends
tbh they are some of her closest friends in the company. She trusts them with her life even tho sometimes they are dorks. They are some of the nicest, kindest, craziest, humble yet lovable people shes ever met.. they liven up the mood and she knows if there is anyone who wouldn't turn their backs on one another, it's these guys. They are the ones who actually helped her chose to audition for the show. 

▪ Kang Dongho aka- Baekho/ 23 / singer / close friend and crush
Out of everyone in Nuest, Dongho is her shoulder to cry on, the peanut butter to her jelly and so forth. They both have always been there for one another and don't like to leave each other for long periods of time, although they have to.The feelings are mutual between them but since he's an idol and she's a trainee, they can't be more than just best/close friends for now.  

▪ Woo Karen / 22 / trainee / Rival/enemy?
To say Karen didn't like Aika was an understatement. They rarely talked to one another and when it came to dance and vocal evaluations and practices, they always tried to one up one another. Karen was always better at her at rap but Aika was always better at dance compared to her. Although they aren't mean or anything to one another's face (since bullying is against company policies) Karen likes to try and hurt her by rumors and such. They aren't on the best terms. 

▪ Im Nayoung / 23 / ex-pristin member/ best friend
Although it wouldn't seem like it at first, Nayoung and Aika are best friends. Since they are close in age, they were able to connect more about everyday things as well as feel old when talking to the younger generation (Aika's words).  They like to meet up and hang out most of the time to the point they usually just stay with one another or talk until late at night about everything. She is Aika's best girl friend in Pledis
