 * Seventeen-year-old Ayano is a skilled "Enjutsushi" (炎術師?, Blaze Technique Master) and the successor to the Kannagi family's head. She is arrogant and impetuous, usually taking action by herself even while going against orders. Though she seems undisciplined, she believes deeply in her heritage, and more than once served as the voice of reason and drawn Kazuma back to sanity. Though cocky and thoughtless on the surface, she is self-conscious and sometimes unsure. She looks to others for guidance and simultaneously feels that she should not, responding yearningly to approval and affection.
 * Though she finds Kazuma's arrogance and teasing abrasive, Ayano develops a crush on him but is easily flustered when he flirts with her. Ayano gets quite irritated due to his habit of taunting her immediately afterward, and is prone to unjustified indignance when he gets close to another woman. She later comes to realize that she is actually in love with him. Kazuma is also the only person she sees as stronger in power and presence than even her own father.
 * Ayano's power is the Crimson Flame called Kōen (紅炎? ), but she is not yet able to consciously control it. She also holds Enraiha, the Kannagi's sacred sword which she won by defeating Kazuma at the successor ceremony four years prior to the start of the story. The sword has fire properties and can be summoned by Ayano at any time. During combat, Ayano tends to fight recklessly and normally her anger and pride gets the better of her. Kazuma beats her in almost every encounter and points out the deficiencies in her fighting style. During their penultimate fight, she berates him furiously for falling for tricks that he taught her.
