Aria's character design is lovely but..another prodigious, dreamy idol. Her character (theme, personality, story) is a mixture of just about every cute idol in the Aikatsu! franchise: Maria and Sakura's gentle fairytale/nature theme, Hime and Ichigo's prodigious nature, Madoka, Maria, and Sakura's light personalities, Maria's being born in some nature-y area, and Ichigo, Yume, and Akari's deep admiration for their seniors and said seniors paying special attention to them.

There's not really much to dislike about Aria (not that we've been hinted at), but I feel like that's exactly why I'm not too excited for her coming into the story. Though I know it's not just them, but Bandai especially seems to have a thing for soft and cute idols, and, in a different category, idols without imperfection. Aria seems like a blessed lovechild of those two.

I'm still excited for her performance though, as I feel like it'll be very pleasant to watch (and her song sounds groovy as well).
