Ayase Eri is one of the nine main characters of the anime series Love Live! School Idol Project. She is a third year high school student of Otonokizaka Academt just like Toujou Nozomi and Yazawa Niko and is 17 years old like the other two. In addition to this, Ayase Eri is the school’s student council president and like Kousaka Honoka, she loves and cares for the school so much and will do everything in her power to stop it from closing down.
She was born on the 21st of October and her zodiac sign is Libra. She is portrayed in the anime as having blonde hair tied up into a ponytail complemented by her blue eyes and is the tallest in the group standing at 162 centimeters which further emphasizes her Russian descent since her grandmother is Russian. Her character color theme is ice blue or cerulean blue and her blood type is B. A unique characteristic of her is that she tends to say the Russian word “хорошо" which is pronounced "harasho" and means “good!” or “okay!”.
She also has a younger sister named Ayase Arisa who is a fan of their idol group. Ayase Eri is very well-known and respected throughout the school not only because she is the student council president but also because she is a true role model. However, because of the position she is holding, she tends to behave in a rigid and stoic manner with only Toujou Nozomi being the only one in the series who is able to talk some sense into Ayase Eri in situations wherein Ayase Eri is being stubborn.
Despite this image, Ayase Eri is actually caring and kind towards those whom she holds dear especially toward her sister. She serves as the group’s advertising and promotional strategist due to her mature and level-headedness. She is also proficient when it comes to quilting and crafting.
