Ai Himemiya

Ai was born in X085 to Japanese parents who met on the island after moving there. She enjoyed her first years living in the purple district with her loving parents who nurtured her excitable personality.

Ai’s mom was a carpenter who loved to play the violin, and her dad a mechanic who loved to make small silly songs on a guitar. With both having a hobby for performing music, it’s no surprise that Ai also developed a love and curiosity for performing music very early.

When Ai was 4 (X089), her parents managed to scavenge parts and create a custom bass guitar for her birthday, and at that moment she knew that bass was the coolest thing ever and wanted to do nothing else.

By the time Ai was 8 (X093), her and her parents were kicked out of the purple district. The family started moving around the research district, seeking shelter and food. During this time, Ai bonded with an older neighbourhood girl, Bonnie, who often babysat and played with Ai.
They were able to live there with all of their needs pretty much fulfilled, until X098.

Ai's mother was one of the many victims of the war of ‘99, taken away from her family when her daughter was only 14. Ai and her father went into hiding to survive. Desperate to protect her father, Ai was able to unlock the strength of her powers.

Ai joined the UG by X100 in an effort to provide shelter and safety for her father, who also started to provide mechanical services in the UG. She joined up around the same time as a boy named Xavier, and the two became close friends.

During the solar flares of X101, Ai’s dad gained magnetic powers temporarily, which he used to scavenge mechanical pieces, build a workshop and their living space. This also allowed her father to build Ai’s first bike as her 17th birthday present.

Ai and her dad have been able to live comfortably like this up until now. In X112, Ai started providing deliveries as a service between districts, as she is trying to provide for her dad to convince him to retire his mechanical shop.
