Chitose Ayase (綾瀬 千歳 Ayase Chitose) is the daughter of Kenji Ayase and Chieko Ayase and the elder sister of Chihaya Ayase who works as a model.

Appearance[]

Chitose is a beautiful young woman with slightly wavy dark-brown hair that she changes occasionally, light brown eyes, pink lip gloss and she dresses in many different stylish outfits everyday.

Chitose looks very much like Chihaya Ayase except that Chitose's hair color is much darker and she is shorter.

Personality[]

On first impression, Chitose appears to be a shallow and vain girl who's indifferent and unsupportive of Chihaya Ayase's karuta-related dreams. This is because she misses being fawned over by her younger sister and doesn't understand the appeal of the niche game. She enjoys the attention of others, especially they praise her over her beauty and grace.

Despite her seeming shallowness, Chitose deeply cares for her family and she works hard as a model to help her parents pay off their mortgage. Additionally, despite her apparent indifference to Karuta, she eventually comes to accept that Chihaya has her own dreams, even if she doesn't understand it, and even pledges to work harder on her own goals after seeing Chihaya's passion.
