Hanesaki Ayano (羽咲 綾乃) is the protagonist of Hanebad! and a 1st year member of the Kitakomachi badminton club. She is Hanesaki Uchika's daughter and Connie Christensen's adoptive sister.
Appearance
Ayano is a short girl with green eyes and long brown hair that she ties together with a handkerchief similar to her mother, though she originally used a hairband. At school, she wears the standard Kitakomachi High uniform with a red ribbon indicating that she is a first year.
During practice, she wears a white shirt and dark shorts. In official matches, she wears the current Kitakomachi uniform consisting of a blue one piece with white and black details. Kitakomachi is written at the back in white kanji.
Personality
As a child, Ayano was happy due to being able to play badminton with her mother. However, once her mother left her in order to make her stronger, her attitude worsened, and at the same time gained a dislike for Kaoruko and herself, believing that her mother had disappeared because she lost. She became disinterested in things and was emotionless when defeating opponents such as Nagisa, but eventually stopped playing before the junior tournament the previous year.
Due to Erena's constant babying, Ayano subsequently turned into a carefree and timid girl, nevertheless her suppressed personality returned once she began playing again, becoming prideful and looking down on opponents. During her match with Nagisa, she considers badminton to be fun again, but still struggles with relationships. She began to go all out in her matches, and tried to follow Kentarou's advice of respecting the sport, but didn't know what to do when she heard a spectator mention that they felt sorry for her opponent. During her practice match with Kaoruko, she was able to come to terms with herself and realized that she wanted to become a kind person.
Playing Style
Ayano is one of the few people in the series that are able to play using both hands, giving her an edge over most opponents. She is a defensive player, skilled at continuing rallies, has high agility, and is good at determining whether a shot is out or not along with being able to read the situation. She instinctively attacks her opponent in places they're weak in and is good at attacking them mentally as well, robbing them of their stamina and their ability to think.
She is repeatedly shown to be able to enter a state of extreme concentration in which she senses her opponent's shots, reacting to shots like Yuika's drop fake, which, according to Akane, is something that she's never seen even Rui return properly.
On the other hand, due to her short stature, she is weak in muscular endurance and stamina. She was previously weak mentally as well, being troubled with her own growth as well as her own attitude toward others. Also, despite provoking others, she is weak to them herself, easily reacting when Yuika countered her provocations.
