A-Huan

A-Huan (阿欢) is a character that appears in Shining Nikki.

Appearance
A-Huan is a pleasant looking yellow-eyed woman with warm light brown hair tied into a braid. She wears a puffy-sleeved dark brown dress with a white apron, both with yellow and pink flowers on them, and a wide-brimmed white-and-brown hat with yellow flowers. She has also a yellow kerchief around her neck.

Background
A-Huan is the daughter of a scientisit who devoted himself in the study of the Shadow of Designer and was funded by Mercury. Because of her father's mania, A-Huan also aspired to master the power of the Shadow of Designer and became the subject of her father's experiment herself.

Main Stages
A-Huan first appeared in Chapter 2 when she helped Nikki and Momo travel across the river from Flower Town to Xingyu Town. She rowed the boat and told Nikki a little about where they were going, such as the fact that all of the cities in Ninier (Lilith Kingdom) were based on a fairy tale, including Xingyu Town. When Nikki expressed curiosity, A-Huan told her that it was based on the tale of the Xingyu Swan, and sang her the story.

A-Huan met Nikki again while Nikki was searching for a suit. When Nikki showed it to her, A-Huan told her that she could never forget that suit. She explained that it was from a significant competition in Ninier called the Xingyu Swan Competition, and that even the current queen, Queen Lilith, had been a previous winner of the competition. A-Huan admitted that she wanted to compete as well, so she battled Nikki.

A-Huan was impressed with Nikki's performance, and encouraged her to compete as well. She then finished the story about the last competition, explaining that a fire had begun that burned away the winner's good looks. After catching sight of how she looked afterwards, A-Huan pitied her.
