It's a fantasy of course—no where in the real world does as idyllic a city as Neo-Venezia or as indefatigably positive a person as Akari exist—but it's a gorgeous, seductive fantasy.
Aika, Akari's best friend and fellow Undine-in-training, has to tell her to stop being such a wide-eyed grinning sap maybe two or three times each episode.
Ai is the simple cute character that's designed to be our introductory eyes into the world. When she returns to Manhome Akari keeps writing her in email about her exploits and those that she meets, just like writing in a diary. These pieces are done as narration here and there, not always at the end, where Akari talks about what she's experienced and Ai even has some dialogue in return about how she can't wait to visit again.
The initial focus is spent on getting us used to Aika and her instructor Akira. The two are alike, and Aika is absorbing a lot of Akira's traits. However, some of them seem to come by quite naturally. Akira is rather feisty by nature, and that pushes against Aika. However, Aika is almost much the same way which is why it subconsciously irritates her.
Akari is.... well, still being Akari; cheerful and optimistic to a fault, eagerly taking in everything her environment has to offer.
[w]e also have another quiet and, at the beginning, out of touch with herself girl in Alice
Alice does occasionally get her own episode. Being the youngest of the Undines, her episodes usually touch on the topics of her fights against loneliness and her relationship with the other Undines in Orange Planet, but mainly against herself.
