Aqua and Aria take place in the early twenty-fourth century, in the city of Neo-Venezia on the planet Aqua—formerly Mars, now renamed after being terraformed into a habitable planet covered in oceans. Neo-Venezia, based on Venice in both architecture and atmosphere,is a harbor city of narrow canals instead of streets, traveled by unmotorized gondolas.

At the start of Aqua, a young woman named Akari arrives from Manhome (formerly Earth) to become a trainee gondolier with Aria Company, one of the three most prestigious water-guide companies in the city. Her dream is to become an undine, as gondoliers who act as tour guides are called (see Terms below). As she trains, Akari befriends other trainees and neighbors around her. Aqua covers her arrival on Aqua and early training as a Pair, or apprentice, while Aria continues her training as a Single, or journeyman.

The series is very laid-back, taking a slice-of-life approach as Akari explores the worlds of gondoliering, Neo-Venezia, and Aqua itself. Amano frequently takes several pages of lush art depicting an environment, showing the wonder of both everyday activities as well as one-of-a-kind events. The theme of the third season is, as the name suggests, the beginning of the series.

So that people won't be confused
Aria The Animation is First Season
Aria The Natural is Second Season
Aria The Arietta is next as an OVA
Aria The Origination is the Third Season




Main Characters

Aria Company

Aria Company is a very small company, with only two employees. Its uniform line color is blue, and its president (and namesake) is Aria Pokoteng.



Akari Mizunashi (水無 灯里, Mizunashi Akari)
Voiced by: Erino Hazuki

A native of Manhome (Earth) who emigrated to Aqua when she was 15 to become an undine. While not as skillful at sculling a gondola as Alice, nor as familiar with the history of her adopted city as Aika, Akari makes friends quickly and converses easily with customers and other strangers. She finds enjoyment in things or events that others think humdrum and mundane, for which Aika and Alicia call her "mysterious." Akari often says hohe or hahi, which is her short version of "wow." When Akari used gondola simulations on Manhome, she accidentally learned how to row backwards and had to relearn the proper method when she started at Aria Company; however, as Aika notes, "Akari is almost invincible when she rows backwards." Akari is often shown writing letters to someone on Manhome, who in the manga is not identified, but in the anime is a young girl named Ai, a customer in the first episode.At the start of Aqua, Akari arrives on Aqua as a new Pair at Aria Company. In chapter 5 of Aqua, when Aika is promoted to Single, Alicia administers the promotion test to Akari as well. Later, in chapter 58 of Aria, after Aika is promoted to Prima, Alicia again tests Akari as well. When Akari passes, she is given the title "Aquamarine" (遙かなる蒼, "Aquamarine" lit. "Distant Blue").

Alicia Florence (アリシア・フローレンス, Arishia Furōrensu)
Voiced by: Sayaka Ohara

The only other undine with Aria Company, one of the three Water Fairies of Neo-Venezia. At the start of the series, she is 19 and the most popular undine in the city. Like Akari, she is relaxed and easy-going, but she also has a playful side that comes out when she teases others (especially Akira). Her favorite words are ara ara ("well well") and she frequently giggles, to Akira's annoyance.As one of the Water Fairies, she is called the "White Fairy" (白き妖精, "White Fairy" lit. "Snow White").


Akino Ametsuchi (天地秋乃, Ametsuchi Akino)
A famous and longest-serving Prima undine, who started Aria company with Aria Pokoteng after realizing she was missing too much of life as Himeya's top ace. She was Prima undine for 30 years and mentor to Alicia, her last disciple, to whom she left the company on her retirement. She is highly respected by young undines, especially Alice, and is known as "Grandmother" or more informally "Grandma".



Himeya Company

Himeya Company is the oldest and currently second-ranking water-guide company in Neo-Venezia. It employs 80 undines, with a uniform lined in red. Its president is Hime.



Aika S. Granzchesta (藍華・S・グランチェスタ, Aika S. Guranchesuta)
Voiced by: Chiwa Saito

The first friend Akari makes on Aqua, Aika is 16 when they meet. Aika is a Pair and then Single at Himeya Company. She is the only daughter and heir of Himeya's owners, but does not enjoy the distinction as she feels the company's employees fawned on her too much.Aika speaks in an open and blunt manner, and often responds to Akari's idealistic comments with "Embarrassing remarks are not allowed!" (恥ずかしいセリフ禁止!, Hazukashii serifu kinshi!). Despite their contrasting personalities, she gets along well with Akari, and later with Alice. She is proud of her skill as an undine, and can be very competitive about it. She also greatly admires Alicia, and finds any excuse to visit Aria Company—and once says that if not for her family obligations, she would join Aria Company. Over the course of the series, Aika develops feelings for Al.When Aika become a Prima by taking the title "Rose Queen" (薔薇の女王, Bara no Jouou). She then takes charge of a newly opened Himeya branch office, in preparation for one day taking on the whole company.


Akira E. Ferrari (晃・E・フェラーリ, Akira E. Fērāri)
Voiced by: Junko Minagawa

One of Neo-Venezia's three Water Fairies, and a native of Aqua. As a Prima undine, Akira is called the "Crimson Rose" (真紅の薔薇, "Crimson Rose") and is famed for her conversational skills. She has many admirers among her customers, more of them female than male—which she admits bothers her, as she considers herself very feminine. Akira is Aika's supervisor with the Himeya Company, who calls her the Demon Instructor for her strictness as a trainer and her loud, brusque personality. She is particularly harsh with Aika because she believes there is potential in her; Aika admits that it is only due to Akira's strictness (and honesty) that she has become a good undine.
Akira and Alicia's relationship mirrors Akari and Aika's, though Alicia teases Akira far more than either of the younger undines, and Akira and Alicia were childhood friends. However, Akira is still galled that Alicia became a Prima earlier than her, despite the fact that Alicia initially became an undine to tag along with her.



Orange Planet

Orange Planet is the largest water-guide company in Neo-Venezia, employing 81 undines (including 20 Primas). Its uniform line color is yellow, and its president is Maa.



Alice Carroll (アリス・キャロル, Arisu Kyaroru)
Voiced by: Ryō Hirohashi

Alice is an undine for Orange Planet. She first appears (in volume 3 of Aria) as a standoffish, snotty girl of 14. Alice speaks in a deadpan manner, and frequently uses the word "huge" (でっかい, dekkai). Although initially only a Pair, her sculling already surpasses both Aika and Akari's—for which skill she was was scouted by Orange Planet despite her age. Despite working for rival companies, Alice, Akari, and Aika often practice together, and Alice sincerely enjoys the others' company. Because of her age and lower status, Aika often addresses her as "kōhai-chan" (後輩ちゃん, "kōhai-chan" "junior" said in a friendly manner). Through her friendship with Akari and Aika, Alice lightens up as the series progresses. This does not stop her from telling the other girls to be quiet when they argue, however. For a long time, Alice is not confident in singing skills, until Athena advises her simply enjoy what she sings and not worry about her performance.Alice graduates from high school. She is later promoted to Prima straight from Pair, the first undine to do so, taking the name the "Orange Princess" (黄昏の姫君, Tasogare no Himegimi, lit. "Twilight Princess").


Athena Glory (アテナ・グローリィ, Atena Gurōrī)
Voiced by: Tomoko Kawakami

The third Water Fairy of Neo-Venezia, known as the "Siren" (天上の謳声, "Siren" it. "Heavenly Voice") for her beautiful singing voice. She is as Alice's mentor at Orange Planet. She is quiet most of the time, and often appears to be an airhead who does not pay attention to her surroundings (in the anime, she once forgets to duck when she rows under a bridge), but she genuinely cares about Alice. Athena has a strange laugh that comes out sounding as though she is angry. She was a trainee undine with Alicia and Akira, and joined them in joint practice sessions much like Akari, Aika, and Alice do now.



Cats

Because blue-eyed cats are considered lucky on Aqua, all undine companies have a blue-eyed cat as a mascot, who is given the title President. Cats on Aqua have been bred to be as intelligent as humans, though they cannot speak.



President Aria Pokoteng (アリア・ポコテン, Aria Pokoten)
Voiced by: Chinami Nishimura

President and namesake of Aria Company, and an Aqua cat. Aria is large and fat, massing 10 kg. He is quite attracted to President Hime, who does not appear to reciprocate his sentiments; his pursuit of her is a common comic relief scene.

President Hime M Granzchesta
Voiced by: Kaori Mizuhashi
President of Himeya Company, a small, delicate, black female cat from Manhome. "Hime" means princess in Japanese.

President Maa
Voiced by: Akeno Watanabe
President of Orange Planet, an Aqua cat with very tiny blue eyes. President Maa is a female cat, but Alice initially calls her "Maa-kun" after her unusual meow. Maa often bites President Aria's belly.




Other characters

Akatsuki Izumo (出雲 暁, Izumo Akatsuki)
Voiced by: Hirofumi Nojima

Akari's first customer as a Single. He is a tall, impatient young man who calls Akari "Pigtails" (momiko) to tease her.He works as an apprentice Salamander, someone who helps maintain Aqua's climate in the floating buildings that tethered overhead. Although drawn like a typical bishounen, his constant scowl combined with a loose-fitting robe usually cover up his more "attractive" features, which he rarely displays. Akatsuki has an older brother who teases him to the point of rage.
Akatsuki is not on the ground often, so every visit to the surface is an adventure for him. He claims to be in love with Alicia, though in one episode it is suggested that he is really attracted to Akari. In any case, every visit to Neo-Venezia, no matter his official reason, he always spends the entire time with Akari.

Albert Pitt (アルバート・ピット, Arubāto Pitto)
Voiced by: Akeno Watanabe

Al is a Gnome, a person who lives underground regulating the Aqua's gravity so that it is the same as Manhome's.Gnomes rarely come to the surface except to shop. He looks younger than Akari and Aika, but is actually nineteen.

Salamander
A person working at controlling the weather and adding heat to the atmosphere as part of terraforming Aqua. Salamanders live in floating islands tethered at high altitude.

Gnome
A person working underground to regulate the gravity of Aqua, so that it is as strong as Manhome (Earth). Because of their environment, most gnomes are short and have bad eyesight.

Sylph
A person who makes deliveries by aircraft. Deliveries are done by air in Neo-Venezia because only unpowered craft such as gondolas are allowed in the canals of the city.

Pair
