Ayane Shiun (紫雲 (alt. 死運) 彩音, Shiun Ayane), real name Ayane Murasaki (紫 彩音, Murasaki Ayane) and nicknamed Porkchop, is one of the main protagonists in Porkchop 'n Flatscreen. She acts as both a vigilant heroine and a damsel in distress.
Appearance[]
Ayane is a ivory-skinned young lady of Japanese descent with straight brunette hair that turns lavender during her ninja form, brown eyes, a plump body and she has a tall height (by women's standards). As of Episode 21, Ayane went from having hair that reaches to her butt to having hair that reaches to her neck. She has the nickname 'Porkchop' because of her chunky physique, but she is all out really cute and she resembles her late father Shouichi Murasaki more in appearance.
She wears a pink dress, blue sandals and a blue hair bead with the kanji symbol (重) of the word 'heavy' on it.
Her ninja outfit is an orchid zentai-suit that looks similar to the outfit of Taki from Soul Calibur and a white mask with a pink flower on it that looks similar to the mask of Vega from Street Fighter II.
Personality[]
Despite bearing a striking resemblance to her late father Shouichi Murasaki in appearance, Ayane has a sweet and caring personality similar to her late mother Ayako Murasaki.
Combat Style[]
Ayane shows an expertise at ninja illusions and elemental techniques by using water clones and creating mist. She can also use the hair bead (which is actually a weight) attached to her hair to deal heavy damage to anything that stands in her way. Her other fighting moves are based off of Ninjutsu and pro-wrestling that comes straight from Japan, she may also use the curves and weight on her full-figured body as attacks.
