Ayaka Sunohara (春原 彩花 Sunohara Ayaka) is the main female protagonist of Sunohara-Sō no Kanrinin-san. She is the owner of the Sunohara Inn who is also the caretaker of almost everyone in the inn and the older sister of Nana Sunohara.

Characteristics

Appearance

Ayaka is a tall, fair-skinned young woman with shoulder-length honey-blonde hair that extends a little bit to her chest, amber-colored eyes, a voluptuous figure and large breasts.

She mostly wears a long white turtle neck sweater with long sleeves and a long dark pink skirt nearly reaching her ankles together with an light pink apron. She also wears ankle-length white socks with dark pink sandals that have dark brown soles.

Personality

Ayaka is a gentle, benevolent and compassionate young woman. As the caretaker of the entire Sunohara Inn, she takes on a sort of motherly role for all of the Inn's residents. As a result, she is incredibly clingy, doting, and sometimes overbearing towards the Inn's residents. She is rather inept at technology, not knowing how to use cellphones, computers, or even treadmills without assistance.

Ayaka enjoys her job as the caretaker of Sunohara Inn, so much so that tasks such as cleaning, cooking and laundry have become firmly ingrained in her everyday schedule. She is incredibly skilled at these tasks, often earning the praise of those under her care. Though she loves her job, she has admitted that at times it can be "strenuous". However, she has suggested that she is not interested in dating or marriage, preferring to continue being a caretaker for a while longer.

Outside of her job, Ayaka greatly enjoys drinking alcohol, though she is a lightweight and becomes drunk fairly quickly. She also enjoys hanging out with her close friend, Nishiki Yatsuho, often helping with her shop or drinking together.

Plot

Ayaka is the caretaker of the Sunohara Inn, and thus is responsible for anyone that lives under its roof. The manga/show focuses primarily on her and Aki Shiina's relationship, though she frequently interacts with other characters.

Etymology

• The name Ayaka means "color" (彩) (aya) and "flower, blossom" (花) (ka), which literally means "colorful flower" or "scented colorful flower" altogether.
