Aya was the deceased partner of Macchiato and an Honorary Spirit as well, despite being a mortal. Despite being long dead before the events of Cosmic Wonders, her influence remains a large part of Macchiato's character and his actions, as he carries both her memory and her dreams.
History[]
Centuries ago, Aya was a Barista working on Earth, where she met Macchiato. Hitting it off with the half-Titan, eventually the two would get married and she would be granted the title of a Spirit. At the time, neither the Magnus nor the Curia could ascend a mortal to spirit status, and thus she remained mortal. Still, she would dream of a coffeehouse unlike any other, and would pass on those dreams to Macchi. Centuries later, she would pass away one night on a beach the couple loved. And on that night, her seafoam would return to ocean from where it came. From there, Macchiato would create that dream caifé, known as Caifé Cosmos.

Notably, she has a very round face with gentle and colourful eyes, one of which being obscured by her long, blonde to pink hair.

Aya’s attire is a pinkish-white dress, pink socks, brown boots, and a big pink bow tied around the back of her waist. Additionally there’s the ribbon she wears on her head, which she bought for hers and Macchiato’s first anniversary.

As shown in “The Ribbon,” Aya would wear it enough that the sight of a similar ribbon brought back memories of her for Macchiato.
