Ayana is an experiment created by her "mother," a woman who worked in a genetics lab experimenting with splicing human genes with various animals. After hundreds of failures, the first success came out of the combination of a random dog breed and Ayana's mother's own genes. Luckily, Ayana's mother had some sense of kindness, and as soon as Ayana was old enough to be out in the world, Ayana's mother left the little hybrid in the care of her sister. She charged Touko with trying to give Ayana the closest thing to a normal life she can. Ayana told people she had a rare condition, and luckily, they seemed to accept her as a fellow student. She is the head of the Chemical Science Club.
