Aero

Aero (エアロ) was a character set to appear in the cancelled game, Mega Man Legends 3.

Aero is a 14 years old happy-go-lucky, stubborn, and absent-minded girl that is part of the Bright Bats and is the team's mood-maker. She is Barrett's spotter and appears to have a crush on him. Aero is the daughter of Klickelan Island's police chief and dyes her hair pink as an act of defiance toward her parents. Aero is particularly skilled at tapping police radio transmissions, which she uses to support her team's havoc-wreaking.

Development
Nine artists from Capcom created a concept for Aero and between October 10 and 25, fans had the opportunity to vote on the official Mega Man Legends 3 sites for which of the design they would want to be used in the game. Shinsuke Komaki's design won with 6202 votes. Haruki &quot;Sensei&quot; Suetsugu's design got in 2nd place, Tatsuya Yoshikawa's design in 3rd, Toru Nakayama in 4th, Riuji Higurashi in 5th, Hideki Ishikawa in 6th, Kazushi Itou in 7th, Hayato Kaji in 8th, and Keiji Inafune in 9th.

On November 16, her finalized design and official name were revealed.

Name
During development, Aero was named Lilly (リリィ), which was later changed to Aero when her final design was set. Aero was originally going to be named "Sephira" for the US release of MML3. However, after receiving feedback from the fans, Capcom decided to hold a poll on what name to use. After seeing the results of the poll and consulting with the development team, the decision was made to keep her name as Aero for both versions.
