Sensei's notes
| introductiontext = She is part of the original ten girls in Sensei's class, and is his niece. She lives in Room 5 with [[Maya Makinami]].
  | introductiontext = She is one of the 10 original main cast girls and the niece of [[Sensei]].
| background = Ami is the only daughter of Sekai and Nozumu Arakawa, raised by them until their untimely deaths. Afterward, she was adopted by Sensei, who would raise her for the majority of her life. At first, the pair were despondent from the tragedy, subsisting on bread and soda until eventually 'snapping out of it', but she managed to keep the two of them afloat through her positivity.
| background = When the game begins, Ami is the first character Sensei meets. She's his niece, whom he takes care of after her parents' deaths, though it's mostly the other way around. Ami is thus responsible for cleaning and cooking at home. Over time, she develops feelings for Sensei and almost fanatically refuses to share him with anyone, including her friend [[Ayane]]. At the beginning, she can be found in her room during the weekend, later she works at the Maid Cafe along with [[Uta]].  
 
| characteristics = She is a loving niece and cares deeply for Sensei. However, once she develops romantic feelings for him, she becomes his almost fanatical protector at certain points. This often goes to the point of openly expressing jealousy towards anyone Sensei associates with, especially [[Makoto]]. Although she competes with Ayane for Sensei, it never ruins their relationship for long. Because she's petite, she hates insinuations about small breasts.
During middle school, she met [[Ayane]] and [[Maya]], and began to bring them over to Sensei's to play. She also, supposedly, met [[Noriko]] years earlier, but has no memory of this.
  | relations =
 
=== Sensei ===
She's part of the manga club, along with Maya, [[Futaba Fukuyama]], [[Molly MacCormack]], [[Rin Rokuhara]].
She falls deeply in love with Sensei rather quickly, cares for him and protects him from anyone she believes would want to hurt him or steal him from her.
| characteristics = Due to his decision to adopt her, and the resulting trauma from witnessing her parent's death, Ami has an intense love for Sensei. She clings to him every moment she can and adores every aspect of him, even the parts he's ashamed of. She actively refuses the idea of sharing him with anyone else, actively fighting Ayane's casual flirting, and harboring a rivalry with [[Makoto]]. In addition, she is deeply afraid of Sensei abandoning her, wanting him to be as dependent on her as possible. As such, she's willing to do anything for him. Ami barely tries to hide this part of her, with most people immediately seeing past any attempts she makes at subtlety.  
 
While brief, and often hidden behind a smile, the restraint with her love has been shown to have limits. At times, she snaps into shouts or passive-aggressive rants, usually at people who pry into her and Sensei's past. She may also snap at Sensei himself, [[No One Can See Us|if certain decisions are made]].
 
Beyond her love for Sensei, she's shown to be a deeply compassionate and happy girl, often seen smiling and hanging out with her friends. She cares deeply for her classmates, even those she doesn't know or dislikes, such as Makoto. Often, she is the first to encourage the other students to be open about their feelings. She's also very emotional, openly crying around the class without embarrassment, and bawling nearly incomprehensibly at her mother's grave.  
 
She's shown to be somewhat insecure about her body, becoming upset from insinuations about her petite stature.
| relations   =
=== Sensei ===
Having adopted her after her parent's death, Ami holds a deep love and veneration for Sensei. She strives to be the best niece she can for him and has dedicated a large majority of her life to pleasing him. She's willing to do anything for him and usually complains about his attempts to make her more independent.
 
Her love for him most likely derives from her parent's death, wanting to cling to the last bits of family she can and keep them safe in fear that they'll be snatched away unexpectedly.
=== Ayane ===
=== Ayane ===
Ami sees Ayane as the main competitor for Sensei's attention and often competes with her to see who can please him the most. Despite this rivalry, they are still best friends.
Ami views Ayane as the main threat to her and Sensei's family structure, often competing with her to please him. Any attempts Ayane makes at publicly displaying her love for Sensei are usually quickly met with Ami's loud disapproval.
 
In spite of this, the two are best friends, caring deeply about each other. While Ayane often shrugs off her emotions, Ami is among the first to pry further. The two are part of the 'Sensei Love Squad', a duo dedicated to keeping Sensei's affections away from newcomers.
=== Maya ===
=== Maya ===
Ami is the only one in the class that [[Maya]] can get along with easily, though Maya doesn't share her secrets with her either.  
Ami is the only one in class that [[Maya]] is able to get along with, and the two often spend class together, talking about whatever comes to mind. She's one of the few people Ami openly confides in about her feelings for Sensei, much to Maya's chagrin.
 
Despite her own openness, Maya doesn't extend the same vulnerabilities. Even after knowing each other for years, Ami is still left in the dark as to Maya's family, past, or true thoughts on Sensei. Though she does suspect Maya likes him more than she lets on, expressing jealousy when the two hang out alone.  
=== Makoto ===
=== Makoto ===
As Makoto has a prestigious position alongside Sensei as the student council president, Ami is very jealous of her, taking every possible chance to tease her by making mean comments about her appearance.
Makoto position as student council president, and self-appointed assistant, causes Ami a great deal of jealousy. As such, she often teases her by making fun of her appearance or dismissing her intelligence as unimportant. This bickering is mostly superficial, though, as Ami was quick to [[A Beautiful Mind|offer her a shoulder to cry on]] after the death of her father, and even [[Baby Steps|invted her over]] so they could talk about their pain.
=== Noriko ===
=== Noriko ===
From the moment [[Noriko]] first appears, Ami is openly jealous of her, especially since she immediately confesses her longtime love for Sensei. From then on, she sees her as her main rival.
Noriko's openness about her feelings for Sensei is an immediate threat to Ami. Her [[What Could Have Been|emotional introduction]] to the class causes Ami to cry in confusion about Noriko's relevance and importance to Sensei, and from then on Ami's extremely territorial towards her. Much to her own annoyance, Ami finds it hard to actually hate Noriko due to her overwhelming kindness, and Noriko's own attempts to pander towards her.
