Ayame is a clever but calculating university student who only has time for her own interests. She is making the best of a recent boom in popularity of female university students incited by their appearance across TV commercials and radio programs. Ayame is content to ride this trend so long as it allows her to get her hands on whatever she needs and wants in life. Recently, Ayame has figured out that older men will fall for her if she acts a little bit stupid.
She was approached by Yutaro Namigaki in town and, although she was not attracted to him, agreed to date him because his family seemed rich. However, she does not think much of him as a human being and is beginning to grow bored of their relationship.

Ayame is the adopted daughter of Tetsuo Tsutsumi and Yasuko Tono. Following her parents' divorce, Ayame took her mother's maiden name of Tono.

Ayame was originally found as a baby at Fumichika Nejima's home following his arrest for the Nejima Murders, where she was adopted by Tsutsumi. Initially believing Ayame to be the baby of one of Nejima's victims, Tsutsumi eventually concluded that Ayame is the daughter of Nejima and his deceased lover, Shino.
