Aoi Saotome
She is Hikaru's Fiancee, his childhood friend, and a shy, innocent girl. She is a typical "ojousama" who rarely steps out of her comfort zone. She felt jealousy and anxiety for the fact that so many girls are around Hikaru, and the negative moods were amplified after Hikaru's death, causing her to seal her heart and became very emotional. It is the combination efforts of Koremitsu and Hikaru that her icy heart is melted. After that she gains trust for Koremitsu, and is more opened to other people. She is the first girl who Hikaru asked Koremitsu to help fulfilled his promise with. She is the main heroine of volume 1 of the novel, and she also makes many reappearances in later volumes which involve the affairs of the Mikado family. Her model character in "Tale of Genji" is Aoi no Ue. In the drama CD adaptation, she is voiced by Satomi Satou.
