History[]
The Hayasaka family was once a prestigious family, but due to their good bloodline, they lost a battle with the Shinomiya family and were absorbed. Ai was born as a thoroughbred servant in the Shinomiya family's main family and has received special education. Although she was born and raised in an isolated world similar to Kaguya Shinomiya, Ai is less sheltered.
Her loving father was Kaguya's godfather, and her mother was Kaguya's nanny. She was raised together for a short time after she was born. Nevertheless, Kaguya moved to the main Shinomiya family on her second birthday, and they met again at the age of seven, when her status as master and servant was officially recognized. The master-servant relationship between the two is only superficial. However, their actual relationship resembles that of inseparable sisters. Kaguya gave her a scrunchie, telling her that she wanted to be her friend. Her love refused, but used her hair tie as her main accessory.
After Kaguya's betrayal of her loyalty to her brother is revealed, Kaguya decides to give up her first time due to the positive changes her SC has given her and the closeness to her love. Currently, the master-servant relationship between Ai and Kaguya has been severed, and Ai has been forced to resign, leaving her free.

Considering that one chapter of her flashforward is completely canon, Fujiwara even refers to her as her big child in desperation. However, this chapter shows that Ai, unlike her friends, never had the chance to enjoy this period of her life before, and in the end simply stayed in the teenage phase a little longer than her friends. It is implied that only.
