Aoi is a young girl of average height with straight black hair styled in twin tails, held in place by two blue butterfly clips. She has deep blue eyes that fade to a lighter blue at the bottom, with white rectangular pupils. Aoi wears the standard Demon Slayer uniform with a white nurse dress on top and a blue sash around her waist.

Tough, uncompromising, and strict, Aoi displays an efficient and no-nonsense attitude. She is effective and proactive in her duties at the Butterfly Mansion. Despite her gruff demeanor, she is kind and caring, doing her best to help injured Demon Slayers recover. Aoi harbors insecurity about her abilities as a Demon Slayer, believing her survival of Final Selection was due to luck.

  • Trained Craftsmanship: Skilled enough to repair damaged equipment like Nezuko's box.
  • Water Breathing: Former practitioner, but stopped training after Final Selection.
