Background / History

Origin in the Game World

Aya originated as a player-controlled Summoner and had been conscious for more than two years before transmigrating. Her player selected her appearance, bought her clothes, and collected weapon appearances. While the player was offline, Aya could move independently and interact with other characters 1 9 35.

Her original life revolved around quests, combat, dungeons, and money. Its scripted events included the destruction of her sect, a pirate conflict, massacres, undead creatures, and a human-experimentation dungeon. Death and resurrection were routine enough that she initially regarded the wizarding world’s relative lack of casualties as extraordinary 5 26.

Transmigration and a Home of Her Own

Aya awoke in an unfamiliar forest instead of the Black Forest where her player had last logged out. With no login notification, no visible map boundaries, and her level reduced to five, she feared that her player had abandoned her. Xiaohua helped her find food and shelter while she experienced hunger, taste, dirt, and damaged clothing for the first time 1.

A Hogwarts acceptance letter gave her system its first new quest: enroll on September 1. Snape found her by a river and escorted her to Diagon Alley, where she obtained school clothes and an alder wand with a unicorn-tail-hair core. After learning that she had neither family nor a home, he helped her buy a neglected house and paid the shortfall 2 3.

Aya furnished and cleaned the house, then began collecting loot throughout Diagon Alley. Dumbledore visited to investigate her unusual name and background. Misinterpreting her accounts of player control and constant fighting, he suspected that she was a war orphan and arranged for the house-elf Duoduo to teach and care for her 4 5.

First Year at Hogwarts

Aya befriended Harry and Ron on the journey to Hogwarts and joined them in Gryffindor. Her cat ears, Xiaohua’s transformations, and her inability to write quickly made her recognizable around school. Although she needed basic writing instruction, she showed immediate talent for practical Transfiguration 6 8 9 10.

Treating the forbidden third-floor challenges as a dungeon, Aya defeated their guardians with Xiaohua and claimed the Philosopher’s Stone. She resisted Dumbledore’s attempts to retrieve it. Later, she helped Harry and Ron reach Hermione during the Halloween Troll attack, with Xiaohua defeating the Troll 14 15 16.

Aya also took the Mirror of Erised, which Dumbledore allowed her to keep after receiving a small mirror in exchange. Her investigation of Quirrell began with stealing his turbans and culminated in an ambush that exposed Voldemort on the back of his head. She blocked his Killing Curse with Pollen, subdued Quirrell, and brought him to Dumbledore 21 23 26.

Summer and Second Year

When Harry stopped answering letters, Aya and Duoduo investigated Privet Drive. They found him locked in his room and weakened by three days without proper food. Aya had Xiaohua break into the room, recovered Harry’s belongings, and brought him to her home before they joined the Weasleys at the Burrow 28 29.

During her second year, a mysterious diary controlled Aya. She transferred its control effect to Xiaohua through Sensing and followed the cat to locate the year’s dungeon. Inside, the Basilisk killed her immediately; after resurrection, neither she nor Xiaohua could injure it. A rooster she had brought from Hagrid’s flock defeated it by crowing, allowing her to collect its corpse and reach level 30 35 36.

Aya only later learned why the encounter had unfolded that way: direct eye contact with a Basilisk was lethal, and a rooster was its natural enemy. She and her friends reported their findings to Dumbledore and raised the question of Hagrid’s earlier framing. Her refusal to surrender the dangerous diary led to another confrontation with the headmaster 42 43.

Her subsequent excursions included hunting Acromantulas for valuable materials and edible meat. She also became more openly protective of her friends, planting Dungbombs in Lockhart’s office after his Valentine’s Day event embarrassed Harry 44 50.

Appearance

  • Hair and eyes: Black, with large, round eyes and slightly wavy, neck-length hair 1 3.
  • Face: Pale skin, a small face, and cheeks retaining some baby fat 3.
  • Feline features: Black cat ears, a black tail, a sensitive cat’s tongue, and slightly protruding canines 1 20.
  • Changed body: Her original feline feet became humanoid feet after transmigration, and she grew somewhat taller 1.
  • Expression: Usually wears an almost expressionless face; her ears and tail often reveal excitement more clearly than her face does 3 16 30.
  • Clothing: Wears Hogwarts uniform and sometimes conceals her ears beneath a hood in public. Duoduo makes her a knitted hat with spaces for her ears 6 20.

Personality

Aya interprets unfamiliar situations through game mechanics: teachers resemble skill instructors, dangerous places resemble dungeons, and strange objects are potential loot. She initially struggles with ordinary conventions such as dressing herself, writing, surnames, and gift-giving because the system previously handled much of her life automatically 2 3 9 20.

Food is her strongest immediate enthusiasm. Having never eaten before transmigration, she eagerly tries new flavors, accepts snacks as payment, and frequently eats beyond comfort. Her curiosity extends to unusual ingredients, including Acromantula meat; she even initially mistakes a captured merperson for food 1 14 17 21 44.

She is intensely possessive of collected items. Aya regards discoveries as hers once obtained, even when Dumbledore identifies them as dangerous, and prefers exchanging food over giving it away without compensation. Her hoarding also has an aesthetic side: she finds rare, unusual materials difficult to sell because she likes their appearance 11 39 43 44.

Despite her bluntness and limited ability to read expressions, Aya values being cared for. She grows attached to Duoduo, enjoys receiving presents, and takes direct action when friends are mistreated. Her rescue of Harry and retaliation against Lockhart show that loyalty becoming increasingly deliberate 5 28 47 50.

Her casual attitude toward violence comes from a world where repeated death and resurrection were normal. This repeatedly alarms Dumbledore, who does not share her understanding of those experiences 5 26.

Abilities & Skills

Summoning: Xiaohua

Xiaohua is Aya’s principal weapon: a gray-and-white tabby summon whose appearance was purchased by her player 1 5.

  • Changes size to carry Aya, move luggage, restrain opponents, or fight large creatures 2 6 16.
  • Uses claws, a stunning meow attack, and Taunt to draw enemy attacks 2 13 36.

  • Blocks Snape’s Expelliarmus 10.
  • Blocks Voldemort’s attacks, including his Killing Curse 26.
  • Pollen Combustion serves as Aya’s initial means of lighting cooking fires 1.

Aya’s Summoner skills draw heavily on nature 1.

  • Vines: Produces thick, thorny vines approximately ten meters long to obstruct an opponent’s movement 43.
  • Chestnut Ball: Covers the floor with large, spiked green shells, creating a hazard around her opponent 43.
  • Morning Glory: Supports Xiaohua during combat against Acromantulas 44.

Resurrection

Aya can return to life through Xiaohua rather than relying on the resurrection methods available to ordinary witches and wizards 26.

  • Uses Xiaohua’s resurrection skill after dying to the Basilisk 36.
  • Subsequently revives Xiaohua during the same encounter 36.
  • Distinguishes her own resurrection mechanics from the desperate methods used by NPCs and Voldemort 26.

  • Retrieves random objects ranging from coins and rubbish to rare magical ingredients 1 11 46.
  • Stores large objects, including the Mirror of Erised and the Basilisk’s corpse, in her backpack 21 36.
  • Gains experience and levels from completing system quests and dungeons 9 15 36.
  • Cannot teach others her collection magic; she describes it as innate and does not understand its workings 46.
  • Inventory space remains limited, forcing her to sort materials and use additional trunks 5 31.

Wizarding Magic

Aya learns local magic alongside her original class skills 3 9.

  • Successfully transforms a match into an embroidery needle once shown the correct object; later transforms a beetle into a button 9 33.
  • Uses Incendio, Aguamenti, and Lumos for cooking, washing ingredients, and exploring dark areas 13 44.
  • Earns excellent practical marks in most subjects, but struggles with essays and Potions 39.

Physical Skills and Limitations

  • Displays enough strength and endurance to help with heavy work and remain untroubled by a run that exhausts her classmates 13 18.
  • Uses her tail to help maintain balance on a broom 17.
  • Fights Draco hand-to-hand and uses a dagger to behead a conjured snake 46.
  • Retains less than a tenth of her former qinggong, substantially reducing her mobility 44.
  • Her original skills no longer have cooldowns after transmigration, but remain restricted by her internal energy and level requirements 5.
  • Retains character-customization vouchers but refuses to alter the appearance her player carefully created 35.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

  • Summoner staffs: Her original class weapons. She selects level-appropriate weapons from her player’s collection; Dumbledore and Snape cannot identify the material of the staff they examine 1 9 11.
  • Alder wand with unicorn-tail-hair core: Resembles a vine wrapped around a branch. Produces roses when she first successfully uses it 3.
  • Assassin’s dagger: Dungeon loot obtained by her player shortly before transmigration. Aya uses it to prepare food and kill a conjured snake 1 46.
  • System backpack and storage: Holds weapons, money, food, materials, and customization items; its limited slots make storage management necessary 9 31 35.
  • Philosopher’s Stone: A dungeon reward whose system effect increases the gold coins in her backpack by one percent each month 14.
  • Mirror of Erised: Taken from Hogwarts and later placed in her home’s entryway as a full-length dressing mirror 21 28.
  • Black diary: A red-quality item capable of controlling Aya or Xiaohua. Her system registers it as special item number two when Harry picks it up 32 35 42.
  • Basilisk materials: Collects its legendary shed skin and its corpse, the latter classified as a red legendary item 36.
  • Harry’s Invisibility Cloak — borrowed: Used for entering Quirrell’s office and sneaking into the Forbidden Forest. Her own invisibility skill is passive and short-lived 23 26 44.

Relationships

  • Xiaohua — Summoned companion, primary weapon, mount, and means of resurrection. Aya also sleeps beside or embraces the cat for comfort 1 5 26.
  • Her player — Created Aya and chose her appearance. Aya initially fears abandonment and preserves her original appearance out of attachment to the player’s work 1 35.
  • Duoduo — Caregiver sent by Dumbledore. Teaches Aya everyday habits, cooks for her, maintains her home, and provides transport by Apparition 5 28 31.

  • Albus Dumbledore — Investigates Aya’s origins and arranges her care, but repeatedly clashes with her over dangerous possessions. His belief that she is a war orphan stems from misunderstanding her game-world experiences 5 14 26 43.
  • Severus Snape — Potions professor, initial guide, creditor, and buyer of collected ingredients. Helps Aya purchase and protect her home; she later attempts to repay him and cultivate goodwill through valuable materials 3 4 20 31 39.
  • Fred and George Weasley — Friends and frequent trading partners. Offer food for Xiaohua’s help, tease Aya, and accompany her on a demonstration of loot collection 17 20 46.

  • Hagrid — Friend whom Aya helps with seasonal preparations. Lends her the rooster that defeats the Basilisk 18 36 38.
  • Draco Malfoy — An early acquaintance who later becomes a target of Aya’s mockery and a Duelling Club opponent 3 46 50.
