Laxus
Dreyar
Growing
up in Fairy Tail, Ayano had always had a crush on Laxus. Sadly
enough, Laxus didn't recognize that she had a crush on her and
treated her mostly like a sister just as he treated Lisanna. Plus,
Ayano mostly lacked in a chest once her and Lisanna were at that age.
Seeing him leave the guild, Ayano felt her world shatter, but kept on
a fake smile on her face until Dita told her to move on. Ayano
decided to get stronger and be better than Laxus as a person more
than a mage. When they arrived back, Ayano wasn't at Fairy Tail, but
has been on a three year mission that required her to be out of the
country. Once upon returning after the Grand Magic Games ended, she
had met Laxus and the others again. Ayano may not show it, but deep
inside, she still cares for Laxus.

History:
Before Fairy
Tail
Ayano was born in
a country to the west of Fiore. She can't remember what the country
was called, but what she can recall is the time she had with her
parents Her mother and father were Celestial Spirit mages and both
held the keys to the complete Chinese Zodiac keys. Originally, they
were planning to have two children, but that never happened after the
doctor told them that Mika couldn't conceive more than one child due
to some disease. Ayano grew up and six of the original keys that her
parents had yet to make a contract with, created a contract with
Ayano. They became her friends and protected her. These spirits were
the pig, the dog, the rooster, the rabbit, the tiger, and the sheep.
Dita, the sheep, was more of a protector since he mostly made sure
Ayano was never hurt as a child. Years went on and Ayano was around
ten when tragedy hit her life. Both of her parents were fighting a
crude group of evil mages that wanted the keys for themselves. Dita
was ordered to take Ayano out of there and he did. They fled the
country and into Fiore leaving her parents to a sad fate.
Joining Fairy
Tail
When she joined Fairy Tail, she was a bit sad and lonely now that she
no longer had her parents. Ayano felt alone until Lisanna approached
her first. It was Lisanna who brought her out of her shell and into a
world where people wanted to be her friend. When the day was ending,
Ayano didn't know where to go. She ended up following Lisanna home in
secret and watched through the windows seeing how happy they looked.
It reminded her of home and her parents. She sat on the ground and
cried silently before she fell asleep outside. The following morning,
Ayano had woken up in the house. Lisanna walked in and brought her
breakfast and a new fresh pair of clothes. Elfman had been the one
who brought her in and it had been finalized that Ayano would live
with them until Ayano could find her own place.
Lisanna's
“Death”
Like everyone else, Ayano couldn't believe it. She still didn't have
a place to live since it was hard for her to find jobs she could do
that gave a big pay roll. Not wanting to be a burden to Elfman and
Mirajane, Ayano moved out onto the streets and soon out into the
forest. During her time on the streets, she would find old clothes
and grab all of them. Eventually, she would make her own clothes from
scratch since she couldn't buy her own. For a few months, Ayano
didn't return to Fairy Tail. When she did, Mirajane had changed her
outlook as did Elfman, but both were glad that she was back showing
that they were worried about her. Erza, Natsu, and Gray welcomed her
back with open arms after being gone during that time.
Enters Lucy
Ayano had never shown anyone her magic to anyone since she felt
insecure about what others would think about her spirits. When Natsu
returned with Lucy, Ayano felt even more insecure seeing how she
didn't even have a chest that guys would stare at. Even though her
best friend was no longer with them, Ayano knew Lisanna would be the
one to make friends with Lucy. Ayano brought up a conversation and
she discovered that Lucy was also a Celestial Spirit mage! Not even
thinking that others would be shocked, Ayano brought out Dita saying
that she, too, was the same. Everyone in the guild at the time was
shocked to even see this! Lucy was shocked that no one in the guild,
not even Makarov, knew that Ayano could even do this which made Ayano
laugh. Ayano hadn't laughed since Lisanna was around, so seeing her
laugh made others happy to see her like this again.
Laxus Left
She didn't show it since almost everyone was pretty much angry and
glad that Laxus was gone, but Ayano was upset. Her secret crush was
now gone and would no longer be coming back. Ayano felt like she had
nothing left even though she had Lucy and her celestial spirits.
Edolas
When everyone became lacrima, Dita had protected her from such a fate
by bringing her to the Celestial Spirit World. Instead of returning
to Fiore, Ayano landed outside a strange building that had Fairy Tail
on it. She didn't see her friends anywhere, so she decided to walk
in. Everyone looked different to her until her eyes landed on
Lisanna. Lisanna didn't notice her as Aki circled around Ayano
instantly insulting her about not having a chest. Like that, both
were head to head insulting one another causing those around them to
laugh.
Lisanna's
Return
Ayano had clung onto Lisanna like a lost puppy. They spent time
together and Ayano even went up against Natsu on who should spend
time with Lisanna. Eventually, Ayano gave Lisanna some space and hung
around Lucy to show that Ayano had taken the initiative to make a new
friend.
Tenrou Team
Disappears
Hearing that Tenrou Island was gone, Ayano fell into depression. She
had lost her friends. Even though Romeo believed they were out there
somewhere, Ayano couldn't find it in herself to see such hope. Pretty
soon, Ayano spent less time at Fairy Tail and only went there if she
felt like she needed money. This went on for about four months.
Going Home
Two years after Tenrou Island vanished, Ayano had went up to S-Class
since she's been taking harder jobs than the rest. Two years after
that while looking at the job board, her eyes spotted a job of an old
man asking to take down a man by the name Liang Chen. Instantly, she
grabbed the job and ran out the door making everyone confused. Ayano
didn't want everyone to see her father's name and that she was
related to him. This was something she had to do on her own. So, she
went to the port and left Fiore to return to her home country not
telling the others where the job was taking her.
Three Year Gap
After taking the job to her home country, Ayano had traveled back,
but never returned to Fairy Tail. During that mission, she had
received the rest of the keys from her father, but not the way she
wanted to get them. Her father had told her that her mother had died
during the raid. He took revenge and became corrupted as did his
keys. Ayano had to kill her own father to stop him from killing other
people. It was the only way to put him at peace, but left such a hole
in her heart. To think things through, Ayano decided to just travel
around Earthland to not only think things through, but to connect
with her new spirits that once belonged to her parents.
Returning To
Fairy Tail
As Ayano arrived back in Magnolia, the Grand Magic Games were over.
She went back to Fairy Tail and forced herself to walk in there
knowing Macao would scold her for being gone for so long, but when
she walked in, Ayano wasn't prepared to see such familiar faces! She
even saw Laxus! Makarov had welcomed her back. He couldn't find it in
his heart to scold her for leaving without a word, so all he did was
pat her shoulder. Lisanna had commented that they had the same
hairstyle, but found it cute that how similar they looked. On the
outside, Ayano was smiling as if nothing happened, but on the inside,
she couldn't think straight with the hole in her heart. Seeing Laxus,
Ayano put on a smile and welcomed him back.
