Aria Sanka

Aria Sanka (散華 亜里亜) is Rea's stepmother and former maid of Dan'ichirō.

Appearance
Aria is a beautiful woman with black hair, brown eyes, and large breasts. She most commonly wears blue and gold earrings, sheer stockings with black garter belts, a red dress which displays her cleavage, and a dark blue bathrobe.

Personality
Aria is a miserable and depressed woman. She is also apparently alcoholic and drinks a lot, perhaps due to her unfortunate life. Aria runs for her husband's affection but he could not care less. She is very resentful of her stepdaughter because of her husband's near-incessant obsession with her. She greatly laments not being wanted by anyone, especially her own husband. She may make the accused attempt to get her husband's attention but has largely accepted his indifference. She feels sorry for herself and tries to get others to do so, as shown with Chihiro when she even tried to seduce him largely by insulting Rea and telling him it's been so long since anyone had touched her. When he rejects her she begins to sob hysterically asking why won't anyone pay attention to her.

It's shown, however, that she wasn't always so bad. In the early years of her marriage, she was caring and soft-spoken when Dan was nearly depressed after the death of his first wife. She then nursed him back to health and was very happy to marry him. She was kind of enough to think her that husband married her out of love despite all the evidence to the contrary. Initially, she did not resent Rea and felt sad that she wasn't really included in the stuff she and Dan did together. And when they went on vacation Aria asked if she would could take a picture with her which she accepted implying they may have initially had some similarities of a normal mother-daughter relationship. When she found (naked)pictures of Rea that her husband took, her jealousy of Rea only grew.

Its implied she may have a soft spot for animals as when Bābu cuddles up against her, she gets excited and ask him if he wants to come live with her and be her friend though Chihiro did catch her at a particularly vulnerable moment and she quickly cast him away when she learned he's a zombie.

She does have a good side where she doesn't stop Rea from occasionally sneaking away from the mansion. In fact, she does wish that she be freed from her controlling father. As of episode 14, after having a weird shared dream with Rea and Chihiro, she is finally starting to let go of her resentment of Rea.

It is suggested by the maids that Aria often sleeps with men other than her husband. This cannot be confirmed yet as she is heavily drunk and has been sex deprived as she tries to seduces Chihiro but utterly fails and starts crying.

Trivia

 * Aria means Iranian, it's one of the many variations of the ethnonym.
 * She has the largest chest out of the entire cast, according to the End-of-Volume Comic in Volume 10.
 * The 2nd largest is (surprisingly) Satsuki, one of the Sanka maids. 3rd place goes to both Ranko and Otoki (when she was human).
