Today is Asuna's birthday! She shows up without a... plan, and somehow things work out. Spend a day with her without meaning to, and by the time you notice, it is already over. Whether it is luck or instinct, the Sensei has probably just stopped wondering and started going along with it. She said she gets a little off when things are too quiet, and that seeing the Sensei helps. So today, the Sensei showing up first sounds like reason enough. #BlueArchiveshow more

Today is Maki's birthday! She is the kind of... student who always has a spray can in hand, itching to add color to every blank wall she passes. If something looks fun, she will happily forget the rules for a moment, but underneath it all is a pure wish to make the world a little brighter and more cheerful. Even as she stirs up mischief here and there, she has a delicate side that worries more than anyone about troubling or disappointing Sensei. She is full of bright ideas and dazzling talent, though about half of that inspiration seems to come to her only when Sensei is nearby. Today she may have quietly picked out a special color just for Sensei. She is probably keeping one stretch of wall empty, waiting for the moment to paint it together. So today, why not go and find her first, and fill that wall side by side. #BlueArchiveshow more

Today is Megu's birthday! Always pushing something down, digging... something up, or burning it all down if nothing else works. She moves before she thinks and acts before she explains — and that's exactly what makes her Megu. But there's more warmth in that movement than you'd expect. She's the first to show up when someone needs her, and she has her own way of making things a little cozier. Passionate is exactly the right word for her. Today might be a good day for Sensei to be the one to stop by first. Sharing a bowl of ramen sounds just about right. #BlueArchiveshow more

Today is Tsukuyo's birthday! She was always cast as... the tree in school plays because of how tall she was, and for a long time that felt like something to be ashamed of. But now she can pull off a disguise so convincing that even a careful eye might be fooled. That is what happens when someone takes the advice to start with what they do best and actually follows through. She keeps asking whether someone like her is really okay. The Sensei probably already knows the answer. Today might be a good day to go find her first — though she might take a little while to spot. #BlueArchiveshow more

Today is Reisa's birthday! The ace, the hero, the... judge, the knight, the star, and probably a dozen more titles she has yet to announce, but just for today, maybe it is okay to simply call her Reisa. She is always the first to rush in and the loudest voice on the scene, yet on the way home she quietly worries whether she might have been a bother. It is not that she feels no fear. She charges in despite it, and that is what makes her truly remarkable. Whether she is dozing off on a bench or flashing a fearless grin while holding out a challenge letter, it is all the same person and the same sincerity. Why not visit her first today, Sensei. For someone who is always the one making the entrance, a day where someone comes to find her first might be the best gift of all. #BlueArchiveshow more

Today is Izumi's birthday! Always has something in her... mouth, and the moment she spots something that looks good — cat treats included — she's already going for it. Her taste is so far out there that people around her can't always follow, but Izumi herself doesn't seem to mind in the slightest. Look a little closer, though, and she's someone who can't just walk past someone having a hard time. She wants to share what's good, not keep it to herself. And when someone goes down, she moves before she speaks. Today might be a good day for Sensei to treat her. Just be prepared for whatever she picks. #BlueArchiveshow more

Today is Kirara’s birthday! Even in Gehenna’s hectic days,... everything feels a little more cheerful when Kirara is around. She approaches people without hesitation and turns them into friends in no time, and that warmth is so like her. How about spending the day together with sensei today? Crepes would be nice, taking photos would be nice, and even a small heart-fluttering moment along the way would be perfect. I hope her sparkle shines brighter than usual today. #BlueArchiveshow more

Today is Kayoko's birthday! She does not talk much,... and she tends to act as if she already knows everything before it even needs to be said. It is not that she has no emotions — she simply has no particular interest in letting them show, and at some point, the teacher has probably come to understand that. She does not mind being misunderstood, moves when she needs to, says what she has to say in as few words as possible, and considers that enough. When the teacher reaches out to her first, she does not push them away, but she does not exactly welcome them either — and somehow, that careful, precise distance she keeps is the part that tends to stay with you. Maybe today is a good day to close that distance, just a little. #BlueArchiveshow more

Today is Rio's birthday! She always says she will... provide the most rational answer, yet when it comes to being celebrated herself, she still does not quite know how to respond. She spent so long gazing at the stars, calculating the future, and shouldering burdens alone to keep everyone safe. There were nights of frozen meals and hideouts where even spiders made themselves at home, but she never stopped, because there were things she truly wanted to protect. The way she fumbles with her feelings, talks in circles, and loses the point somewhere along the way is all part of how she shows she cares. Why not visit her first today, Sensei. She will probably call it irrational, but there is no doubt she will be happy. #BlueArchiveshow more

Always smiling with her trademark “Well, What’s good is... good~,” Ichika gently mediates even when the Justice Task Force is about to explode, or when the air between academies feels a little tense. But behind that calm smile is a girl who’s worked harder and longer than anyone to become someone who can care for others that way. She picks things up easily and excels at everything she tries, yet never considers herself special— instead, she quietly chooses to help those around her from the sidelines. So, just for today, Sensei... How about telling Ichika, You’ve done wonderfully—and happy birthday? #BlueArchiveshow more

Today is Aru’s birthday! She dreams of being hard-boiled,... tossing roses and turning away in style, yet a single unexpected comment can leave her flustered. She speaks boldly, but she’s also the first to notice how her teammates are feeling. In front of Sensei, she tries a little harder to look cool, only to be shaken by the simplest compliment. I hope that today, she can set aside the bravado for a moment and live out the most stylish day she’s been imagining #BlueArchiveshow more

This woman pulled up to the Dunkin drive thru,... grabbed her order, said “have a nice day” and the employee called her a weirdo loud enough for her to hear it before she even pulled off - and the internet is going crazy over this one. Some people say the employee was completely out of line, others say drive thru workers deal with customers all day and sometimes things slip. Either way she heard it and now the whole world has too. Does she file a complaint or let it go?show more

Today is also Shiroko's birthday, the other Shiroko. She... came from far away, traveling a long and winding road to be here now. Same name, same birthday, but the weight of the years between them could not be more different. Still, this Shiroko is someone who chose to get back on the pedals again. Every day she finds something broken and brings it back to life with her own hands, and that tells you everything. Some quirks seem to stay the same no matter which world she comes from, though. Why not visit her first today, Sensei. A simple day like a birthday can remind her that she has a place to come home to. #BlueArchiveshow more

Today is Mika's birthday! I wonder how she’s been... doing. She may be full of mischief, but she definitely relies on you a lot, Sensei. I found a shop with the most delicious roll cakes! Shall we pick one up and visit Mika? #BlueArchiveshow more

Today is Rena's birthday! On the surface she grumbles... that the occult is all a sham, yet before she knows it she keeps getting drawn a little deeper into that mysterious world. She throws sharp objections at anything dubious, but when asked to come along she reluctantly plays it cool and joins in anyway, a warmhearted side of hers. She may seem blunt, but she is actually quite caring, always looking after the people she has taken to even while acting standoffish. Even that inability to be honest with herself somehow comes across as charming, making her impossible to dislike. On a day like today, using some occult topic she may or may not enjoy as an excuse to spend time together would secretly make her happy. So today, why not go to Rena first, and quietly invite her to share the day with you. #BlueArchiveshow more

Today is Kokona's birthday! Not Kokona-chan. Kokona the instructor.... She wants to make that very clear. She always tries her best to look dignified in front of the little ones, holding back tears even on the hardest days. Sometimes that effort goes unnoticed, but the fact that she never gives up is what makes her who she is. She still cannot stand carrots, but being willing to try something you dislike for the sake of someone else is already pretty grown-up. Why not visit the Plum Blossom Garden first today, Sensei. Just calling her instructor might be enough to make this birthday a perfect score. #BlueArchiveshow more

Today is Shun’s birthday! With her gentle tone and... relaxed smile, Shun always has a way of making those around her feel at ease. Rather than scolding right away, she chooses to watch over others patiently, and in that calm attitude, you can feel the care and responsibility she has built up over time. At times, Shun feels like a dependable adult, yet now and then she shows a surprisingly childlike honesty, which makes her feel even closer. Shun is so used to taking care of others that she may have put her own rest on hold without noticing. Just for today, it’s okay for Shun to smile first and rest a little more than usual. I hope this is a day where the warmth she always gives comes gently back to her. #BlueArchiveshow more

Today is Haruka's birthday! Someone who opens her own... birthday with an apology for being born. Who says 'sorry' more times in a day than most people do in a week — and yet, the moment it matters, steps forward without a second thought, for Aru's sake. She seems timid and bleak, but when something actually needs to be done, she moves more decisively than anyone. That's just how Haruka is. She also quietly tends to weeds that no one else would bother with. She said she relates to them — useless, a nuisance to others — but once you start taking care of something, it stops being a weed. Today might be a good day for Sensei to be the one to stop by first. There might be something other than an apology waiting on the other side. #BlueArchiveshow more

Today is Kikyou's birthday! She's the sharp, meticulous Operations... Officer who reads any situation coldly and thinks several moves ahead. She's resolute enough to throw even herself out as bait for the sake of victory, and yet she places an ally's safety above any win. At first she's wary that even a simple kindness must be hiding some ulterior motive, but faced with warmth that asks nothing in return, she eventually lets her guard down in her prickly little way. She'll always mutter her thanks in the most brusque tone, yet she can't stand it when the person beside her slips out of her sight. She's a bit like a cat, too, the sort who loves to curl up and rest lazily in a sunny spot. Cold on the outside and endlessly warm within, that's who she is. So today, let Sensei be the one to clear the whole schedule and come to her first, giving Kikyou a day where she can have that company all to herself. #BlueArchiveshow more
