Personality
Asagi is an intelligent, kind, and confident girl. When she was in middle school, it was said her personality back then went through a significant change that made her into who she is today, as her character altered from a sensible and mature girl to a flippant, flirtatious, and stylish young woman. Because Kojou was the primary reason for her persona shift, this means she takes her love for Kojou very seriously and does whatever she can to impress him. Similar to Yukina, she also becomes jealous quite easily when it comes to other girls spending time with Kojou.
Despite being frivolous and cheerful majority of the time, she bears a hidden solemn and deductive side which comes out in more grave situations, doing everything in her power to aid others during these times.
She displays a tsundere-like attitude towards Kojou Akatsuki. She envies her rival-in-love, Yukina Himeragi.
History
She is an expert programmer and works for the Manmade Island Management Corporation. She has a crush on Kojou. Despite knowing the island is deeply connected to supernatural personals and creatures, she has no idea that her friends are among them. She is nicknamed Cyber Empress. Meiga Itogami noticed that Asagi could be the Priestess of Cain and is practically immortal. As long as she remains on Cain's altar which is Itogami Island, she cannot be killed by any means and the ritual ground will keep her alive by all kinds of factors. Her programming skills and Mogwai maybe also related to Cain.
Few years ago, Asagi met Kojou during middle school.

Asagi suddenly blushed and knew that Motoki is the one who planned it then, Kojou tells her that it's okay for him to play. Asagi goes to Girl's changing room to change her clothes with her friend. While changing her skirt, she looked at the mirror to see what she looked like, she makes cute faces at the mirror and then suddenly got ashamed of herself and yell "Stupid or Idiot".
When she go out to find Kojou, she saw Kojou with Yukina and saw that Kojou was holding a letter (Asagi thought that the letter was a Love Letter for Yukina) and said that looks like she's disturbing something (what she knows is that Kojou is inviting Yukina on a date) so she leaves. It was seen that she was crouching over Akatsuki in a seductive way, following the suggestion of Motoki "How to set up a Honey-Trap?".Akatsuki was sleeping then. When he saw her, he was flustered. Just the moment he was about to move her away, they fell from the bed. This scene was seen by Himeragi and Nagisa causing them to misunderstand Akatsuki.

Somewhat believing the façade, Asagi asked Yukina what her relationship with Kojou was, to which Yukina struggled to answer. At this point the Black Death Star Faction invaded the Medical Room to abduct Asagi for her intelligence in deciphering codes. Nagisa had a panic attack on seeing the demons but was knocked out by Yukina. Astarte tired to stop them by releasing her familiar but was shot and injured.

Asagi asked Kojou to go to the Art Club. While the two of them are in there, Asagi asked kojou to go put on the clothes that Asagi gave to him. When Kojou refused to, Asagi said that if he's not going to wear it then she will go change, and once Asagi already is changed Kojou agreed to wear it. When Kojou put it on, Asagi was wearing a maid dress. Then, Asagi took a picture of Kojou. Kojou was shocked and asked Asagi why she did that, Asagi said she wanted to. While Asagi was taking a picture of Kojou, Kojou took his smartphone and took a picture of Asagi and said that it is unfair that Asagi was only allowed to take his picture. Then, at the end of all of it, Asagi took a picture of both of them together.
