Aiko Leala is the assistant of Fiti Amuro. She is a former Oz technician who left Oz after seeing them beat Fiti and put her into a detention cell. Aiko, being mildly claustraphobic, took pity on Fiti's situation and helped her escape. Fiti soon returned the favor by taking Aiko to visit her family on a small island near the south coast of Japan. It was there that Aiko learned that her entire family, minus her father, had been killed in a storm earlier in the year. Aiko made her peace with her belated peace with her family and released them.
For Aiko, whose family was never a warm one and she was never accepted in it, life with her new guardian Fiti is a challenge. Especially since she had to go from having virtually no freedom to having the normal freedom of a teenage girl. Her life is now as normal as it's ever been.
The only thing Aiko really misses from her old life is her twin brother, Chieko. They were very close as children and it broke her heart to lose him most of all. Aiko dreams of maybe having a real job and a family someday. The chances of that are changing subtly as she goes from a scared little girl to an image of femininity and strength as she starts to come into herself. Even though life on the lam is hard on Aiko she's doing much better now then she was not even a month earlier.
