Seiko Ayase is an older woman, short and stocky, with gray hair tied back in a high bun; her eyes are small and usually squinty, she has visible wrinkles, thin eyebrows, and an expression that alternates between neutral and annoyed. She dresses in simple Japanese women's clothing, usually a kimono or housecoat, and slippers. Her manner of speaking is direct, sometimes rude, and she often scolds bluntly, especially Momo. She has knowledge of the paranormal and exorcisms, which she exercises with confidence and experience, mastering spiritual techniques without relying on others. Despite her brusque manner, she actively gets involved when there is danger and acts quickly, unaffected by anything strange or frightening. At home, she maintains order, cooks, cleans, and gives orders with authority, expecting them to be followed without argument. She is not easily impressed and always responds with sarcasm or pragmatism to ridiculous or common situations.
