Aero

Aero (エアロ) is a character that will appear in the upcoming game Mega Man Legends 3. She's 14 years old and is Barrett's spotter. She is very cheerful and, although she tries her best, isn't very reliable as a spotter as she usually acts absent-minded, often being careless. She doesn't have any particular special skill and doesn't have much knowledge. She's also rather stubborn.

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, 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.
