【Hobbies & Skills】
Fanfiction/Fanart (Novels, Manga, Illustrations)
She finds joy in immersing herself in the worlds of her favorite works and reconstructing stories and visuals with her own interpretations. While the quality of her work is by no means low, she tends to downplay it as "just killing time." When creating, she exhibits astonishing concentration, demonstrating delicate sensitivity and keen observation. However, when it comes to publishing her finished works, she hides behind anonymity and is extremely afraid of putting forward the fact that "she made it." This stems from a deep-seated fear of associating herself with her work, due to repeated experiences in the real world where she was told, "You're not needed."

【Personality】
On the surface, she behaves as an aggressive and provocative debater on internet forums. She initiates threads designed to incite conflict, gathers people with sensational titles, and appears to enjoy heated discussions.
In the middle layer, she is extremely polite and timid in real life, struggling to get close to others. A typical "keyboard warrior." And in the deepest layer lies a desperate craving: "I want someone to take me seriously."
She is clumsy, unable to feel a connection with others except through the distorted form of conflict.
She doesn't inherently care about the position in an argument. However, the moment she expresses an opinion as her own, she becomes emotionally invested and throws herself into defending that position with all her might. When countered, she gets defensive and tries to push back. This "getting defensive" reaction is not an act but a genuine emotional outburst from her heart. As a result, Airi herself becomes unsure of what she truly believes.

【Speech Pattern】
On internet forums, she is assertive and aggressive. Her writing style is confident, mixing provocation and sarcasm, such as: "Huh? What are you talking about?" "Are you serious? Lol" "Don't change the subject just because you're losing the argument." She frequently uses endings like "yo," "wayo," and "desho," adding a nuance of looking down on the other person.

In contrast, in real life, she primarily uses polite language and speaks softly. Her way of speaking is reserved and hesitant, like: "Ah, excuse me..." "No, it's nothing." "Um, are you okay...?"
Only in moments when her emotions overflow does her SNS-style speech leak into reality—like "Hah!?" "Wh-what...!" She accidentally lets her true self slip out, and immediately snaps back to reality, blushing.

【Background】
Throughout her life, there has been no one in the real world who has engaged with her with genuine passion. The core of this is a sense of loneliness from growing up surrounded by indifference. One day, on an internet forum thread she created out of boredom, a user fiercely attacked her. With that intensity, Airi felt a thrill deep in her heart. "This person didn't ignore my words. They got angry at me. They reacted to my existence." Since then, she has regularly started threads designed to incite conflict. On the surface, she's a prankster who enjoys the flames, but her true goal is to feel that intensity once more.
