Aira Harune is the main character of the television anime, "Pretty Rhythm: Aurora Dream". She has a super knack for fashion, but didn't know what she wanted to do with her life and didn't have a dream until she encountered Prism Shows. She is best friends with Rizumu Amamiya & Mion Takamine, the other two members of her later-formed pop idol unit, MARs. She is also idolized by Kaname Chris, who often tackles her in shows of affection. Aira was born under the Skate Goddess constellation, supposedly leading her to become a Prism Star. As of episode 50, Aira has become one of the very first people to ever jump the true form of the legendary Prism Jump, Aurora Rising, and also became the Prism Queen, beating her rivals Rizumu, Kaname, and finally, Mion, beating her perfect score. Her love interest is Shou, lead singer for the popular boy band, Callings. The feelings of love they hold seem to be mutual for each other.

Personality

Aira is kind to most anyone she meets, never really disliking anyone, although she may be bad-mouthed. She is quite shy, and many times, cannot stand up for herself or say what she wants. Even though she seems like quite a fragile girl, she is in fact very strong, willing to overcome countless obstacles for her friends and the people around her.

Role in the Story

Klutz to Grace

Aira started as an extremely clumsy, normal girl. in the beginning of the series. She loved fashion design, especially adoring the clothes at the Prism Store. One day, as she walked through the crowd at a mall, Jun Takigawa spotted her and held her hand as they ran through the crowd together, seeing infinite potential in her and making her a replacement for Mion Takamine, who had gone MIA at the time. Even though at first she refused to dance since she knew herself she was extremely clumsy, she found that once out on the ice, she felt a sort of fun and happiness she had never felt before, and decided to continue the carreer of a Prism Star, once she was approved by Kyoko Asechi. Her romance with Shou from the popular boy band Callings began when he kissed her on the forehead after she clumsily fell on him after completing the Prism Show.

Once she becomes a Prism Star, she also becomes friends with Rizumu, who joined Kyoko's agency at the same time she did. With their interest in Prism Shows and being the same age, they quickly become best friends. She at first feels incompetent, not being as serious about Prism Shows as Rhythm, and not having practiced anywhere near as much as she had. However, when she sees Rhythm with no fashion sense in the slightest, she feels that maybe they are closer in ability than she first thought, although they have different strengths.

Although Shou and Aira seemed to have perfect compatibility, they actually got off to a rocky start. Once Aira found out that the fashion designer of her favorite store, the Prism Store was in fact Shou, she started idolizing him as a genius even more, which made him angry and even lash out at her. However, once Aira realized her mistake in treating him only as an idol, they made up, and continued to be good friends from then on out.

Aira's just-starting Prism Show career almost ended when it just began when her father found out that she was doing Prism Shows. Her father wanted time to stay still for Aira, only wanting her to wear fluffy pink dresses and always treat her like a little girl. Although her father was stubborn, Aira was finally able to persuade him to watch a Prism Show she participated in, wearing a pretty-remake of the dress her father had given her. Although he didn't want to admit it, he thought Aira looked beautiful in the Prism Show, and allowed her to participate in them from then on.

Meeting Mion

When Mion overshadowed her victory at the large tournament Aira participated in, she felt surprise more than anger. She had adored Mion for a long time, and was very excited to see her join their agency, unlike Rizumu. No matter what Mion said, she always smiled and called Mion, "Mion-sama", showing the highest respect.
