Aiko wears the Phoebelandia Private Academy issued uniform: a purple blazer with white trim lining the cuffs and collar, a black button up dress shirt with ruffles at the cuffs (as president) and a white string tie, grey panty hose with a short black skirt with a slit on the right side (as president) and the academy’s issued footwear which is brown loafers with black soles.

When Aiko was a housekeeper, she wore the housekeeper chain with the word “MITTENS” written on it. Aiko wore the female housekeeper uniform: a purple button up dress with a black apron that has purple feathers for design and a housekeeper chain.

Personality
Aiko Inshida is a stubborn girl. She asked her parents numerous times if she could attend PPA to the point where Aiko’s parents had to say yes to stop being bothered by Aiko. However, Aiko was not stubborn when Lozen Waeyrsshida told her that she is now a housekeeper. By Aiko’s second year, she was no longer a housekeeper and was adapted to the system.

Aiko shows a very kind, warm and friendly side to her as well. She never expects favors to be repaid and is selfless. Aiko wishes a better life for housekeepers because she herself was a housekeeper too and knows what that is like. Aiko shows respect for everybody, even the biggest troublemakers in the school. Although Aiko told Lozen off all the time in her 1st year, in Aiko’s 2nd year, she developed more respect for her, not calling her a friend, but just a person.

Year 1
When Aiko arrived to Phoebelandia Academy, Yumemi Yamashida quickly rushed Aiko away to the president’s office. Once Aiko was alone there, Lozen Waeyrsshida, the student council president, told Aiko she was now a housekeeper and in debt to the student council. Aiko was taken away to the mittens room and saw other girls who had just become housekeepers. There, Aiko saw Noriko Kitashida and Yuriko Kitashida. Yuriko was holding shears in her hand and cut off Aiko’s hair and all of the other girls. Noriko comforted Aiko and said that she would like her new hair.

The Inshida family despises gambling, so naturally Aiko wasn’t a good gambler. But after winning a ton of money at the debt settlement parties and joining the Traditional Culture Research Club, Aiko was able to pay off her debts.

However, Aiko was still waiting for her younger siblings, Daichi and Sumika. It was a long, hard road, but Aiko made her way through it. After doing a lot of gambling, Aiko felt that she was disobeying her family and tearing them apart without her seeing it herself.

Year 2
Daichi and Sumika we’re now at Phoebelandia Academy and Aiko was happier. Daichi got onto the student council right off the bat and promised he would help his sisters manage their debts, especially Sumika. This made Aiko very happy and she knew she had found the light at the end of her tunnel.

In the opening tournament of the election Aiko got a ton of votes. When she gambled against either Yuriko or Lozen though, Aiko ended up losing the many votes she had worked hard to get. But by the end of the tournament, Aiko already knew that it made sense Lozen would win and realized that she had adapted to the system and could survive in this election anyways.

Aiko didn’t win, but when she found out there would be an end of the year vote tournament, Aiko joined. All of the third years were out of the tournament since they would be graduating, so Aiko wouldn’t be hitting any obstacles. In the final round against Lozen’s personal assistant, Kaiya Yamashida, Kaiya’s dice landed on the wrong number, therefore Aiko had won. Aiko said in her speech when she came to Phoebelandia Academy, she never thought she would become president.

Year 3
In Aiko’s year as president, she enjoyed drinking tea in the council room and loved talking with the other student council officers. Aiko nearly disaffiliated gambling at PPA until Amarante “Toshida” talked her into not doing it. In this time, Aiko discovers that being student council president wasn’t always as easy as it seemed for Lozen. Aiko was constantly worried about Phoebe how she would be treated in the near future. Aiko wishes nothing but the best for Phoebe but worries that Phoebe is not getting the best that she needs. So Aiko does the best that she can but still finds herself in a cul-de-sac not knowing what exactly to do, thus relying on her best friend, Amarante. Aiko and Kaiya Yamashida sorted out the new gentlemen’s doll courses and even got Mademoiselle Phoebe a lady’s companion. Aiko made all the females attending PPA wear a black hood that covered their foreheads too as a way of modesty. The honorific once used for every past student council president was “His/Her/Your Magnificence”, but when Aiko became president, she changed the honorific to “Her Catholic Majesty” and converted PPA to a Catholic school. This was a major change and Amarante was not quick enough to stop Aiko before making this decision. PPA ended up disaffiliating the school from gambling since it was now a Roman Catholic school. Aiko’s presidential gamble was her very last gamble at PPA.

A petition was started for PPA to remain a Catholic school but still affiliated with gambling. Aiko did not care that much. It was because she knew that know matter how hard people tried, there would be no more gambling. This made the school very boring and people wanted to leave but Aiko didn’t let them.

One day, a gang came to PPA which often meant ethnic cleansing. Naturally Aiko was very scared for everyone. The genocide was running ramped, and it hit PPA especially hard in Phoebelandia. Many students were returning to their homes in other parts of the country to get away from where the riots were getting really bad. Aiko wanted to go home too, but she couldn’t since she was the student council president and therefore had to stay behind. Sumika tried talking Aiko into having the entire school go home for a while so that everyone could be safer, but Aiko declined. Aiko’s reasoning was because she was afraid the riots would continue so much that nobody would be able to graduate. Sumika thought that this was a bad idea but went along with it anyway so not to cause any more conflict.

Eventually the riots subsided after 29 days. People were still mourning the deaths of their loved ones, so Aiko let those people stay home for as long as they needed to. May rolled around and everyone was getting ready to graduate in June. Aiko was especially sad over the death of Etsuko Fukuhara-Hamasaki, the youngest person who passed on in the genocide. However, Aiko tried to only look forward so she could be happier.

All the female 3rd-year students were getting ready for the Josei Sotsugyou, a special event for girls graduating school. Aiko was excited and had a special performance in mind. Aiko wanted to apologize to her family for leaving them behind to go to PPA, because Aiko believed that wanting to go to PPA was a “selfish wish”. Aiko chose her courtesy name to be Yaeko, because that was what people usually did at their graduation. They usually got their courtesy name from their mother or father’s name, depending on the gender. Aiko’s matronym was very important to her and Aiko wanted her mother to see that Aiko was truly sorry for everything. The song was called “Michishiube”. Aiko chose it because it was a beautiful song and Aiko believed that the lyrics really resembled the path to redemption that Aiko was on. All the other girls were doing a koto performance to win the competition, but Aiko was set on singing Michishirube.

One day, Hideo Yoshida came to Aiko and said that he wanted to gamble with Aiko. Aiko was shocked and told Hideo that he knew full well that gambling was banned at PPA. Hideo said that he wanted to gamble to decide if PPA would have gambling or not. Aiko decided to participate in the gamble because she wanted to see how it would go. The two played Speed Daifugo. Hideo won 2 out of the 3 rounds. At that very moment, gambling had returned to PPA. After Hideo left the student council room, Amarante talked to Aiko. Amarante said that she had always wanted to talk Aiko out of turning PPA into a Catholic school and changing everything. Aiko was a bit sad and admitted that she was wrong about everything. Aiko said that she got too deep into a very religious phase and just wanted to make her family happy and impress them. Amarante listened the entire time. Aiko was talking about how she felt that going to PPA was selfish because her family was against it. Amarante said that she was glad that Aiko came to PPA and she could apologize to her family in a different way. Next week was the Josei Sotsugyou, and Aiko wanted to reach her family properly with her song. Amarante agreed. From that point forward, the school went back to the way it used to be. It was only a week before the school year ended, but Aiko wanted to do the best that she could to give the 3rd year students a good final week as much as possible. Aiko apologized to everyone, saying that she was so sorry for taking away all the good times and turning it into something for
