Personality
Ayumu is a hardworking girl that puts her everything into what she does. She is not very skilled in her school idol activities, but she continues to try her hardest. Sometimes, she becomes anxious about her capabilities, but she can be comforted by her fellow idols.

She can also be rather clumsy at times.
