Aya Shiratori

Aya Shiratori plays as a center forward and wears the number 9 for her team.

Details about her physical appearance are not mentioned here, but her actions and style make her easy to notice on the field.

Aya acts like a high-class lady and is very proud of herself.

She uses fancy words and always seems to believe she’s the most important player.

Even though she brags a lot, she actually struggles to score with her feet and sometimes uses her body, like her hip or stomach, to get goals.

Aya gets herself into trouble a lot, but she always thinks she’ll save the day.

She is easily flattered and loves attention.

People joke that she is a typical “rich girl,” but she might just be pretending, since her life doesn’t quite match up to what she claims.

Aya Shiratori is a first-year student at Warabi Seinan High School and plays as a center forward on the girls’ soccer team.

She calls herself things like “Born on the Offside Line” and claims she is the ace, even though her skills aren’t the most reliable.

Aya isn’t always good at normal soccer skills, especially finishing goals with her feet.

Still, she somehow manages to end up at the top of the scoring list, like in the league matches where she scored five goals in three games.

Apart from soccer, Aya is great at other sports.

In P.E. class, she was a skilled softball pitcher who could throw special pitches and strike out everyone.

Aya’s big mouth and habit of missing shots often annoy her teammates, especially Nozomi Onda.

Even though she sometimes drives them crazy, her energy and confidence make her hard to ignore.

Sumire Suō once called her a “fake rich girl,” since Aya’s actual lifestyle doesn’t seem as fancy as she pretends.

Getting Lost on the Way to Dinner

At the start of high school, Aya was invited to a team get-together at Nozomi Nōmi’s family’s restaurant.

Aya started out walking with her friends, but got lost along the way.

She finally arrived much later, covered in mud and leaves, and tried to laugh it off by saying, “The main character always arrives late…”

Missing the Futsal Tournament

To help pay for team uniforms, Aya and her friends joined a futsal tournament.

Aya was supposed to bring some older students with her by train.

However, she confidently got on the wrong express train going in the opposite direction, and everyone fell asleep.

Because of this, she missed the whole tournament and was later punished by being hung upside-down from the clubroom ceiling.

Aya is extremely bad with directions and often gets lost.

She loves to act big but might not actually be wealthy.

Her coach, Gōro Fukatsu, calls her “Italian Dreamer.”

She’s good at sports like softball, not just soccer.

Instead of being truly rich, she seems to just enjoy pretending.
