Ayashi No Ceres (also known as Ceres, Celestial Legend) was created by Yuu Watase. It's about a girl who is actually the reincarnation of a celestial maiden. This maiden is looking for her celestial robe and she intends to kill the girl’s family, so it’s up to the girl to sort all of this out and find out what’s really going on.
What the 2 series have in common?
One thing that the 2 aforementioned series have in common is that they each have a character who have the same first name. The name in question is "Aya" and the characters are Aya Fujimiya from Weiss Kreuz and Aya Mikage from Ayashi No Ceres.Aya Fujimiya from Weiss Kreuz
Depending on which way you look at it, Aya Fujimiya could refer to two different people. The first is the character from Weiss Kreuz who really has the name, but is more commonly known as Aya-chan, and the second is her older brother whose real name is Ran Fujimiya (#ad), but who is more commonly known as Aya.Aya-chan (#ad) is portrayed as a nice, kind, sweet, and caring person. However, there isn't much information about her, seeing as she was mostly in a coma for the duration of Weiss Kreuz.
Ran is rather different from his little sister. He is serious and stoic, silent and mysterious, not to mention a very capable and deadly swordsman slash assassin. But, aside from all that, he is a very caring and protective big brother who really loves his little sister.
In fact, the reason why Ran started working as an assassin was because he needed money to pay for his sister's medical bills. His love for his sister reminds me of the way Toya Kinomoto from Cardcaptor Sakura cares about Sakura Kinomoto, his younger sister. However, Ran's stoicism and seriousness is all rather similar to Toya's personality from Ayashi No Ceres.
Aya Mikage from Ayashi No Ceres
Aya Mikage (#ad) is the main character of Ayashi No Ceres. She used to be just a typical normal high school student until certain events changed her life.She found out that she’s actually the reincarnation of a celestial maiden named Ceres. She has to deal with many things such as finding Ceres’ celestial robes and even romance as she comes to terms with her feelings for the mysterious Toya.
