Spoiler for Ayase:
Quote:
See, I think her main issue is that she has a bit of a case of hero-worship. That is, she identify herself not for who she is, but her hero (Kirino) and her relationship with her. After all, when your best friend is such a perfect being that outshine you in every way, it’s normal to feel jealous. It can lead to motivation in a healthy rivalry, but often the green-eyed-monster swallows you which leads to you undermining and sabotaging her. But here, I think Ayase takes a different reaction. She already gave up trying to surpass her, and is more than satisfied to be the best friend of someone she adores so much. Sure, she’ll just be the eternal sidekick, but for her, even Kirino-lite is better than most regular people anyway.
And because of the unhealthy dependent relationship she has, she feels betrayed when her perfect image of Kirino (as seen at the confrontation in the playground) is tarnished. She freaks out, because if Kirino does something she finds disgusting, that means as she identifies herself as Kirino, she is also the same way, and even worse. That’s also explains her possessiveness of her and wanting to make sure that they’re best friends; after all, Kirino is the reason of her being, if she’s taken away than what’s left of her?
I admit, this is just some random musings of mine, I’m sure the case for her (if that’s even true) is not really that severe. Still, it’s quite an interesting thought that adds depth to her character, beyond just an unreasonable yuri yandere.

This is the comment I was looking for, beyond the BGM/moodflavor and everything else, Ayase's character is quite complex, and it's such a shame that the background build for Ayase wasn't revealed.
