Ami
CharacterAmi is an ordinary young woman lured to the Ghoul Restaurant by a false promise of marriage. Her readiness to sacrifice anyone in order to save herself defines her brief, grim appearance, which ends when the very trap she was drawn into closes around her.
Appearance
Ami is portrayed as a heavyset young woman.
Personality
Self-interest guides Ami above all else, and she will readily throw others into danger if it improves her own odds. Souta's pledge of marriage is enough to sweep away her every misgiving, though oddly she declines to bathe even ahead of meeting him. In her school years she belonged to the track and field club.
History
Souta lures Ami to the Ghoul Restaurant with the claim that he means to marry her. When she grasps that she has been deceived and is meant to be the meal, she falls apart. He then offers to rescue her, and in her desperation she trips Ken Kaneki so that he will be devoured in her place, even though he had vowed to shield her. The gambit backfires once the ghoul Taro identifies Kaneki as the main course and starts chasing her instead. Poison from the coffee she drank earlier takes hold and leaves her paralyzed, and Taro seizes her and roasts her alive.
