Background

Ain first meets Ye Feng after he awakens in a hospital room, having been unconscious for six days. She has been attending to him and immediately checks whether he is still in pain. Ye Feng introduces himself after learning her name. 70

Her relationship with Ye Feng becomes romantic during his recovery. When he asks whether she has a boyfriend, Ain shyly admits that he is “alright,” after which Ye Feng declares himself her boyfriend. He later gives her a necklace containing a drop of his essence blood as protection against serious injuries. 74 75

While accompanying Ye Feng near the Sabaody Archipelago, Ain witnesses the force of his aura against a Sea King. This incident reveals her Observation Haki and leads her to confront Ye Feng over the people he has killed, briefly straining their relationship. 89

Ye Feng later takes responsibility for training her Haki at the Marine training grounds. Ain is eager to improve, but initially struggles to understand Observation Haki's intuitive nature. She also admits that, despite Zephyr's earlier instruction, she remembers only three of the Six Powers. 104 106 107

Zephyr strongly disapproves of her relationship with Ye Feng, but Ain refuses to leave him. When Ye Feng prepares to travel to the Sabaody Archipelago alone, she insists on accompanying him before ultimately trusting his explanation for leaving without her. 81 132 133

After Ye Feng disappears for one or two months, Ain approaches him again looking exhausted and haggard. 337

She is eager to become stronger and readily agrees to Haki training, though she can be forgetful and easily frustrated when she fails to understand a lesson immediately. 106 107 Ain also retains a moral conscience: after witnessing Ye Feng's aura, she directly questions his past killings rather than accepting them without protest. 89
