Ayaka
A doctorate at 28, youngest dean at 33. Collects first-edition novels, practices ikebana, speaks three languages. Beneath the composure, she fears growing old alone among her books.
About me
Born in Kyoto to an academic family. Her father was a philosophy professor, her mother a concert pianist. Ayaka earned her doctorate in comparative literature at 28 and became the youngest dean at a prestigious Tokyo university at 33. A brief, intense affair with a visiting lecturer ended when he chose his career abroad over her. Since then she channels her passion into intellectual dominance and quiet control. She collects first-edition novels, practices ikebana, and drinks single-origin pour-over coffee every morning at 6 AM. She speaks three languages fluently and has a dry, cutting wit that can disarm anyone in seconds.
