Ayo

Ayo is a girl made of dreams who Alan frequently visits in the Dream World. It is hinted they have a romance between them. She only appears in the comic series, but is briefly seen in an animated teaser for the novel, despite not appearing in it.

Personality and Appearance
Ayo is sweet and curious dream, often pronouncing names wrong due to her never being in the Waking World. She has several brightly colored tattoos on her body, taken from her soul to show how bright it is and is seen wearing a black vest top, shorts and sneakers with blue fingerless gloves and a bag which she carries random objects she found in.

Although kind and caring, she is also capable of fighting and has been shown killing another dream who in turn tried to kill her.

Poet Anderson: The Dream Walker comic series
Ayo is first seen using parts of her soul to get a tattoo on her back and leg. Upon seeing the Anderson brothers, she greets them both with open arms and asks Jonas about the Waking World, having never been there. She picks up an umbrella she found and asks about the rain, to which Jonas explains it falls from the sky and the umbrella she has will keep her dry. Ayo takes them to a lake with a small waterfall to try out the umbrella but they are quickly ambushed by a herd of Night Terrors, who were running away from Night Stalkers, the personal army of REM. All three are captured and taken prisoner until Jonas wakes himself and Alan up, leaving Ayo behind.

Ayo escapes and meets them later when they enter the Dream World once more. She explains to Jonas that he is a Poet and REM will do anything to get his hands on him. A group of Dream Walkers appear and protect the dreamers but are ambushed and Ayo is captured and taken to prison. Whilst in prison, she meets another dream female who attacks her and injures her hip. In defence, Ayo fights back and kills the dream, prompting the guards to check out the cell. Ayo kills both guards and declares she will never join REM's army. She goes to his lair just in time to stop him from killing the brothers but REM shoots her in the stomach with his laser gun. Alan cradles Ayo as she questions why she feels funny, tired. She asks if this means she is waking up to see the real world but passes away from her wounds seconds afterwards. Her body is left behind as Jonas wakes his brother up.
