Ayase, Chihaya

綾瀬千早

A determined schoolgirl who "possesses a remarkable hearing ability." She is convinced that persisting in karuta will allow her to meet Arata again, so she starts a karuta club at her high school with Mashima. Although she is beautiful, she is viewed as too eccentric; her classmates call her a "waste of a beauty." She has been described as a "tomboy trapped in a supermodel's body."
Favourite Song: Poem #17
Even when the gods
Held sway in the ancient days,
I have never heard
That water gleamed with autumn red
As it does in Tatsuta's stream
