Aspen

Aspen is one of five protagonists of Metaware High School (Demo). Aspen uses They/Them pronouns, and is the only non-binary member of the gang, which otherwise consists entirely of girls.

Appearance
Aspen is the tallest of the gang and has long wavy blonde hair, as well as a slightly darker skin tone compared to their counterparts. They are a 2nd year as shown by their blue ribbon and skirt pattern.

Personality
According to the Special Features, Aspen was named after and ascribes to the philosophy of Anarchy:"Min/Maxing the game is most important. Everything else is secondary."Aspen is somewhat outspoken. They are intrigued about the player's arrival and the knowledge the player has. Aspen seems to have some insecurities about their self image and past. Aspen likes to describe themselves as "Great", "Mighty", "intellectual" etc.

Analysis

 * Despite having a route, less is known about Aspen's state of mind and past than Isadora, who at least has hidden views into her life. Since Aspen is the one asking most of the questions in their route, we only really learn of their future aspirations.
 * Much like the other characters, Aspen's given philosophy seems to be misidentified; anarchy is a political philosophy rather than a personal one, and the description of anarchy does not match the actual ideology, which is that there should be no government. The given description given for anarchy would seem to better align with the idea of pragmatism.
 * It is possible that Aspen's character was partially influenced by actual anarchy though, for example their hatred for the school rules.
 * In a way, Aspen's behavior is similar to Nari's, as both have an intrest in escaping their situation.
 * Tellingly, Nari will mock Aspen's question roulette after the Player encounters it in a route.

Fun facts

 * During the dance route, Aspen obtains maracas seemingly from nowhere and dances with them. This is based on a gag from the anime Love Live, as explained in the Special Features. They share the trait of referencing Love Live! with Isadora.
 * Aspen has the least concept art.
 * Like the other members of the gang, Aspen has a non-canon Twitter account: https://twitter.com/TheMightyAspen
