Personality
Due to her shy personality, she does not have the courage to talk to her classmates, and is thus often alone, until she has an encounter with Fuu-chan.

History
Ayumi is a transfer student from Yokohama who really loves Pretty Cure. She meets Fuu-chan and they become friends, unknowingly to her that he's one of Fusion's fragments.

Etymology

 * Sakagami Ayumi (坂上 あゆみ) - Saka (坂) means "slope/hill", gami (上) means "up", and ayumi (あゆみ) means "walking" or "progressing". Together, Ayumi's name has the meaning of "walking on the slope/hill". This could be a reference to gradually overcoming a problem, possibly Ayumi overcoming her shyness.
